CHAPTER 10

In Jeremie's room

Jeremie looked up at the ceiling in sadness from his sprawled position on his bed. Putting a hand to his head, he tried to rid himself of an upcoming headache.

He had wished that Sissi blackmailing him yesterday and him having no choice to go along with it was just one horrible nightmare. When he woke up this morning it seemed like it was just a dream. He hummed to himself, as he got ready for school. Everything appeared to be normal; he was proven wrong when he was about to leave his room to meet with the others. On the floor was a note; it was a little crinkly showing that it was shoved under the door. Other than that it was in O.K. condition.

Looking down at the note he couldn't help but to feel frightened. For some reason he had the feeling that note will tell him something he does NOT want to know. One he NEVER received a note like this before, and two this note was PINK. Of all the colors it could have been it had to be pink. Oh don't get him wrong he is all right with the color of pink. Especially when Aelita wears it, Jeremie thought to himself…WAIT THAT DIDN'T COME OUT RIGHT!!! Deciding to turn his attention back to the note, he couldn't help but notice that the handwriting wasn't Aelita. For some reason he was saddened that this note wasn't from her.

Picking it up anyway, he began to read the note. It wasn't long and it was straight to the point. Written on the note was one of his deepest fears come alive.

It read:

Dear Jeremie,

Don't forget to pick me up after my first period class. Oh yeah, I want you to wait outside the building. See you later darling.

From your GIRLFRIEND, Sissi

So here he was laying on his bed with the note clenched in one of his hands. Why me? Jeremie thought to himself. Did me running away really piss you off that much Dende?

Turning so he would be laying on his side, Jeremie looked over at his alarm clock 8:00? That means first period class started five minutes ago. With a sigh Jeremie got out of bed and grabbed his supplies and books for his classes. Stuffing them into the bag that contained his laptop, he closed the bag and slung it over his shoulder. Making sure his watch was on his wrist and working properly he headed towards the door. Throwing away the pink note on his way out of his room. Jeremie couldn't help but think…

At a bench not far from the dorms

Aelita, Yumi, Ulrich, copy William, and Odd were all sitting on the bench or standing beside it. They have been at the bench for more than ten minutes. Why were they at the bench for ten minutes straight? Well they were waiting for Jeremie to meet up with them. The bell for first period class rang five minutes ago, but all of them have a free period.

"Where is he?" asked Odd breaking the silence. "He wasn't even at breakfast this morning."

"I don't know. Maybe he did an all-nighter and fell asleep in front of his computer again." Ulrich guessed.

"That would explain why he wasn't with us yesterday." Yumi said with a nod.

"Oh poor Aelita." Odd said sadly as he got up from the bench and walked over to her.

"Poor me what?" asked Aelita looking at Odd with curiosity.

Slinging an arm around her shoulder Odd continued with his sad tone, "Einstein is spending a lot of time with that computer of his. You better be careful or else that computer will take Jeremie away from you."

Pushing him away with a laugh she said, "Oh Odd."

"Did I miss something?" asked a voice from behind them.

Everyone turned around to look at the one who spoke.

"OH HEY JEREMIE!!!" Odd yelled over to him. "No you didn't miss much."

Jeremie nodded to him as he walked up to the group.

"Where have you been Jeremie?" asked Aelita.

"In my room, I accidentally fell asleep in front of my computer." Jeremie fibbed.

This caused everyone to laugh.

"From knowing you so long Jeremie, I'm not surprised," Ulrich said with a smirk.

"What were you doing on the computer Jeremie?" asked Yumi.

"He was probably making out with it," Odd blurted out. The others started to laugh again, with the exception of Jeremie.

"Haha, Odd very funny." Jeremie said sarcastically, "Actually I was trying to figure out a way to get William back to normal. I was working on it ever since class got out yesterday."

"But Jeremie we didn't see you in your room." Aelita told Jeremie.

"I know because I wasn't in my room,"

"You were at the factory." Yumi realized.

"How do you know that Yumi?" asked Odd.

Turning towards Odd she replied, "If he wasn't in his room working then obviously he had to be at the factory."

"Oh yeah," Odd said with a smile, "Why didn't I realize it?"

Jeremie could have corrected Yumi by saying he wasn't at the factory, but he didn't. If they believe I was at the factory then I'll let them. Why waist this free excuse. All it does is make my day a little easier. Looking at his watch he realized he had ten minutes before he had to pick up Sissi from her first class. He decided he better leave. He didn't need this much time to change; actually he only needed thirty seconds to change if that. But he wanted to make sure he was on time to pick her up.

It's not like he is starting to like her. Actually he hates this whole thing and her. He just hopes that if he plays a good boyfriend, he would only have to go through this for a couple days. Now how am I going to get away from them? Jeremie asked himself as he looked at his friends.

He can't tell them the truth…so the only option left is to come up with an excuse. He hated lying but that's the only thing he can do at the moment.

"Hey guys," his voice made the others give him their full attention, "Since I missed breakfast, I'm going to get something from the vending machine to tide me over till lunch."

Well it wasn't a complete lie. He did miss breakfast but he wasn't going to qualm his hunger. He learned over the years to down his food consumption to that of a human. It was difficult probably the hardest thing he had to do. But it was necessary for both the financial cost and the appearance of being an ordinary human. So skipping breakfast once will not kill him, no matter how much his stomach complains.

"O.k. Jeremie, Do you want us to go with you?" asked Aelita.

"No you guys don't have to, all I'm doing is getting a snack then I will be heading to class. See ya." After Jeremie said that, he headed towards the vending machine's to keep the façade of him getting something to eat.

Looking at her watch Yumi spoke up, "I think I should head to class too." Grabbing the copy William, she started to walk away. "See you later."

"Bye Yumi!!" Ulrich called out after her. She responded with a backwards wave.

"Now what are we going to do?" asked Odd.

"Let's just relax here for a few more minutes then we can head to our next class." Aelita told them.

"I guess we could do that." Odd said slightly depressed. He wanted to do something more entertaining than sitting but class is going to start soon. So he can't really do anything else other than relax and talk. A smile made its way to his face, if this is the only thing I can do then I'm going to make the best of it…

Leaning back on the bench Odd asked Aelita, "So who would you rather kiss Herb or Nicholas?"

She responded with a sigh and a shake of her head.

By the vending machines

Walking towards the vending machines, Jeremie paused and looked behind him to see if the others were following him. Seeing no one he let out a sigh of relief. He was glad they didn't come along; if they did…he didn't know what he would have done.

Walking past the vending machines, Jeremie headed towards the bathrooms. He decided to choose the bathroom closest to the class Sissi was in. Looking around to make sure no one was around he entered the boys' bathroom. Luckily for him the hall he was in was deserted.

Going to the nearest stall he closed and then locked the door, just in case someone comes in. Placing his bag softly on the ground so his laptop wouldn't get damaged, Jeremie then lifted up his right sleeve. Pressing a few buttons on the watch, Jeremie made it so he could have enough power to do the technique he wants and he also transformed to ssj2. He didn't have to worry about Goku or someone else sensing him because the ki masking program was still activated. Closing his eyes he sensed to make sure no one was in the room. When he was sure no one was around he opened his eyes and then put his hands on his chest.

His hands started to glow a yellow light and his eyes flashed yellow for a brief second as well.

POOF!!!

His clothes changed drastically in a small poof. He no longer wore his blue sweater, glasses, Capri's, and his sneakers. The clothes and accessories that now adorned his body were totally different, with the exception of the watch.

His new outfit consisted of a blood red, sleeveless shirt, that did nothing to hide his rock hard abs. Black pants which had a few belts on them and black shoes. As an added effect he had a black sleeveless trench coat.

Looking down at himself he decided this was good enough. Using his watch he turned down his power. He didn't turn it all the way back down to that of an average human his age. He decided to make himself a little above average because he thought it would look weird if he didn't. I mean who has ever seen a guy that built and yet could barely bench 50 pounds? No one, so he thought it would be safer to do this. I think being able to lift a few hundred pounds will be good enough, he thought with a small smirk.

Closing his eyes again he made sure no one was in the bathroom. Sensing no one he grabbed his bag, unlocked the door and exited the stall.

Before opening the door to his doom, (at least in his opinion it was going to be) he put his hand to his head then down to one shoulder, then to the other and then back again. While he was doing this he mumbled under his breath, "Father, God, Holy Spirit."

Funny thing about this situation was that he wasn't Catholic

Stepping into the hall, he headed outside to wait for Sissi. He knows why she wants him to wait outside. She wants everyone to know she is going out with him, and the way to do that is by showing him off to everyone.

Exiting the building he already knew everyone in the vicinity was staring at him. With his sensitive hearing he could here a group of girls whispering about how "Drop dead gorgeous" he was. Finding a nearby tree he leaned against it, folded his arms across his chest, and closed his blue eyes, ignoring everyone around him. The bell to let out first period class was going to ring in three minutes.

Oh how he wished he brought his IPOD with him. That way it would have been easier to tune everyone out. All the whispering was starting to get on his nerves. Stupid saiyan hearing, he thought. The whispering wouldn't have been so bad if only they would stop talking about him. The next boy that says that I'm sexy, I'm going to punch his lights out. Then I would come up with the excuse that he ran into a door. Yep that is going to be the plan. He had to smirk at that thought…which caused most of the girls present to pass out with dreamy smiles on their faces. Of course he didn't notice their reactions because he still had his eyes closed.

He was forced to open his eyes when someone poked his right arm. Opening his eyes, he looked at the offender, which caused said person to draw back a little at his stare.

"Ummm…I'm sorry to disturb you…but um…. you see Tamiya," the girl who Jeremie realized was Milly said as she pointed to the girl behind her. Tamiya in response to Milly's introduction waved at him from behind her camera. "And I are the school journalists and we were wondering if you will answer some questions of ours."

"…." Jeremie just stared at her blankly.

With Ulrich, Odd, and Aelita

After talking for a little bit, they decided to head to class. On the way there they couldn't help but notice that a lot of the students were talking amongst themselves. Curiosity got the best of them so they decided to find out.

Going up to a random student Odd asked her, "Hey what's going on here?"

"You mean you don't see him?" She asked as she pointed to a mysterious boy leaning against a tree with his arm crossed. His blonde spiky hair swaying lightly in the breeze, his eyes were closed as if asleep.

He's cute, thought Aelita with a blush. Shaking her head to get rid of some thoughts that were not so innocent, she turned her attention back to the girl.

"Who's he?" asked Aelita. Odd and Ulrich nodded in agreement.

The girl looked at Aelita in shock. "I am not surprised that those two," the girl said pointing to Odd and Ulrich, "don't know who he is, but I thought you would know."

"Well I don't. So may you tell us who he is?" asked Aelita.

"He is the most gorgeous, handsome, hot, sexy…" Ulrich cut her off.

"Can you get straight to the point?" he asked annoyed. The last thing he wants to hear is some girl ranting about a guy he has no clue about.

"So rude. Just for that I'm not going to tell." She scoffed at them and then turned around to talk to her friends.

"Great going Ulrich, now how are we going to find out who that guy is?" Odd said to him.

"You mean you guys don't know?" asked a voice from behind Odd.

Turning their attention to the voice, they noticed that it was Tamiya that asked them; she had her camera in her hands. Milly was beside her with her microphone.

"No we don't," replied Aelita, "Will you tell us?"

"Yeah we will, it is our job as journalists to tell the latest scoops." Tamiya told Aelita.

"From what we gathered," Began Milly, "He is known as the mysteriously, sexy boy. He appeared a couple of years ago, and ever since then almost every girl in school, doesn't matter the grade, has fallen head over heels for him. No one knows this boys name or who he is."

"No one?" asked Aelita surprised. "Surely someone around here knows who he is."

"Nope. No one knows who he is, not even the adults. So all the information we could gather about him are rumors." Tamiya told them.

Ulrich snapped his fingers in recognition drawing the others attention to him. "Now I remember he was the boy that was thought to be a ghost or a killer right?"

"Yep, that's correct Ulrich." Milly said with a grin. "That's why we are here, because we want to ask him if some of the rumors are true."

"If he answers our questions, this would be the scoop of the century!!!" Tamiya said happily. "Maybe we can even get his name."

"I hope." Said Milly. "Let's go ask him now before he leaves…even though it is kind of weird he is here now."

"That is true," Tamiya said agreeing with Milly.

"What's weird?" asked Aelita, the boys wanted to know as well.

"He's on school grounds." Replied Tamiya.

"What's so weird about that?" asked Odd.

"He was NEVER seen on campus before. He was only ever seen in the park." Milly informed them.

"Then why don't you ask him why he is here during your interview?" asked Ulrich.

Milly and Tamiya immediately brightened. "That's a great idea Ulrich!!" yelled Milly.

"Can we go with you?" asked Aelita, "We would like to know more about him. Ulrich and Odd nodded in agreement.

"Sure why not." Said Milly.

Following Milly and Tamiya as they made their way to the mysterious boy, Aelita couldn't help but think, I wonder if he is single?

The all stopped a few feet before the mysterious boy. He gave no indication that he noticed them. Milly mustering up some courage walked up to the boy and started to poke his right shoulder to get his attention. Tamiya a few feet away prepared her camera for the interview, if the mysterious boy actually agrees to do it. Milly saw the boy open his eyes and then he looked her way.

She couldn't help but draw back at his intense stare. It was like he was staring through her soul or something and it unnerved her a little. Gathering what's left of her courage she spoke a little hesitantly.

"Ummm…I'm sorry to disturb you…but um…. you see Tamiya," Milly said as she pointed to the girl behind her. Tamiya in response to Milly's introduction waved at him from behind her camera. "And I are the school journalists and we were wondering if you will answer some questions of ours?"

"…." All he did was stare blankly at her.

"Umm…well…if you don't want to that's alright," Milly said in a sad voice. Turning around she was about to leave but was stopped by a hand on her shoulder. Following the hand she realized it was the boys.

"Wait…" He said to her and then he sighed, "I'm probably going to regret this but…I'll answer some of your questions." Why am I going to do this? he thought looking at Milly he found his answer. Oh yeah I hate seeing people get sad.

She brightened immediately and without realizing it gave the boy a big hug and kept repeating, "thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou…"

"Can you let go of me please?" he asked her.

Realizing what she was doing she released him and blushed in embarrassment. "I'm sorry I didn't mean…" he cut her off with a wave of his hand.

"No problem…so what questions do you have for me? Just to warn you I'm going to only answer the questions I want to. Is that all right?"

She was a little saddened at those words; well at least he said he'd answer some questions she thought. "Yeah that's O.k." She told him. Turning to Tamiya she asked, "Are you ready?"

Giving her a thumbs up with one hand since the other was holding the camera, Tamiya replied, "I'm ready to go in three…two…one…"

"Hello everyone Milly here along with Tamiya to give you all the latest scoop. I have right next to me the mysterious boy that everyone wanted to know about for the last few years. He has agreed to answer a few of our questions." Turning to him Milly asked, "I think the first thing everyone wants to know is what is your name?"

"My name is Gohan Son."

"That sounds foreign."

He nodded his head, "It is, and it's Japanese."

"Does it mean anything?"

A light blush appeared on Gohan's face, which caused many girls to swoon. "It means rice."

Seeing the slight embarrassment from Gohan, Milly decided it was a good time to ask another question. "So are the rumors true?" she asked him.

He looked at her confused, "What rumors?" he asked. Of course he knows what rumors she was talking about but he didn't want to give it away that he knew.

"Oh silly me, you don't go to this school so of course you wouldn't know the rumors going around. Well I guess I'll just have to tell you. The first rumor…Are you a ghost?" She asked him curiously.

His eyebrow twitched, for some reason he knew she was going to ask him that. "If I was a ghost would you have been able to touch me?"

Well now she felt pretty stupid for asking that question. "Ummm…no."

"Then I am not a ghost."

"O.k. on to the next rumor…Are you a psychopathic killer?"

His eyebrow twitched again, "Do I LOOK like a psychopathic killer to you?"

"No."

"Good because I'm not." After he said that the bell rang to inform everyone that first period class was let out.

"O.k. last question. Why are you on school campus and not in the park this time?" She asked him with curious eyes.

Crap, he thought, wasn't expecting her to ask me that. Before he could open his mouth and reply an unknown voice cut him off.

"Because he was waiting for his girlfriend to get out of class."

((A/n) I hoped you all enjoyed it. Review please. Oh yeah for those who reviewed to my story 'untitled for now' the anime that Gohan is going to go into will be Bleach.)
