Bra returned to school the next day with her head held high. She ignored all that she did not want to give any attention to and spent extra time flirting with the guys whenever Goten was around. She knew he followed her around quite a bit of the day. The thoughts, "Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. Just look at him following me as if I'll turn around and say that I forgive him," ran through her mind trying to convince her. Deep inside her heart she really did want to turn around and just forgive him, but her mind was much stronger than her heart and nothing could change it once it had been set. It was around fourth period when she normally went to her locker when she noticed Goten had given up following her. She sighed a breath of relief and opened the locker. Inside was one surprise though. A large bouquet or brilliant red roses rested in a vase on the top shelf. Her eyes grew wide with shock and she quickly took the note attacked to one of the stems. She did not read it then though. Instead, she quickly grabbed the books she needed and ran to her class. She would find time to read it there.
She was wrong in that guess. She had to wait until lunch to read the note in front of all her friends. They all had heard about the roses by then. Information traveled quickly around the school. "Read us the note Bra!" Pan exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Kourt agreed with her. Bra giggled a bit and took the note out of her pocket.
"I haven't read it yet myself..." she explained and she slowly unfolded it. The first thing she noticed was that, the letter was typed so she wouldn't be able to match the handwriting. Her eyes grew wide as she read it to herself.
"What does it say?!" everyone asked really excited.
"Its from a secret admirer."
"Oooooo! I'll do some research Bra and see if I can find him," Pan offered.
"Well, I have to admit I am very curious, so yeah that would be great. Thanks!" With that, the bell rang and the group split up back to their various classes. Only a few more until the end of the day. Only a few more until History, where she would be forced to face Goten. A quick plan to avoid Goten was made up in her mind and she nodded approvingly. With a smile on her face she returned to class. Perhaps the day would not be so bad afterall.
History couldn't be any worse. It turned out that she was now the teacher's favorite student to pick on. Now, if things were different, she would have played right along and had a good time, but things weren't different. Goten was there and all she wanted to do was scowl and sit there angry. He was like right in her line of vision to see the clock. It just annoyed her so much. "Why does he have to sit there? Why can't he sit else where? Its in the most important spot. IN FRONT OF THE CLOCK! He worked out a lot over the summer. ....Don't think about his body. Stupid mind. You are STUPID! Very stupid! Why is my mind being stupid? Wait I am talking to my mind, about my mind, in the third person. Ok, now that is just freaky. I should probably start wearing a watch. That way I won't have to look at the clock. Yes!!! An excellent plan mind! For once you are useful. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I wonder who gave me those roses. They were rather nice. And it was a very sweet gift....Goten.... .....He's looking at me again. Look away mind. Look away! A crap, I made eye contact with him." Her thoughts continued with more insanity.
Goten on the other hand was thinking along a quite different line. "She's starring at me. Its bothering me a bit I think. I mean I like it in a way, but I bet she is angry looking. I wish she wouldn't. I want to see her smile. I'm so stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid..." and he kept going like that until he built up the courage to turn around and look at her. Much to his surprise she wasn't that angry looking. She looked deep in thought. He smiled a bit and then looked back to the teacher who was going on and on about how the Greeks lived.
The second the bell rang Bra stood up and ran out of the class. Goten watched her go and sighed. He reached for his books and slowly put them into his backpack. With one final look at where she sat he started towards the door, but was stopped by the teacher. "Am I sensing negativity between Ms. Briefs and you?"
Goten smiled a sad smile and replied with, "She may have negative feelings for me, but I will always love her." And with that he left the room. He wanted to cry again so badly just then, but he was strong enough to hold back his tears. He reached for his keys in his back pocket and walked down the thining halls to the front door. From there, he quickly went home to rest.
Bra on the other hand went straight to the mall with a few friends. She decided to not think about her day at all. Her friends used to shop all the time; until they got DDR in the arcade. Dance Dance Revolution, the game for the young and agile. They put at least $50 into the machine to play tons of games of nonstop dancing. They played to songs like Dynamite Rave, Dam Dariram, Butterfly, AM-3P, and Brilliant 2U, their favorite songs. And of course they threw in a few different songs every now and then. Soon though, they grew tired and left the mall to go to their seperate homes. Yet once again, Bra left just as quickly as she arrived home. Goten was there and she really just did not want to see him. On top of that, her mind was filled with the thoughts of who could have given her the flowers, though she already had a pretty good idea of who. With a sigh she went back to the mall for dinner.
Vegeta watched all of them and felt a certain amount of pity for Goten. True, he did not like the fact that Goten was a Son however, he had deeper feelings for Goten above the other members of his family. He had basically raised the boy when Goku was not there. And he knew, that he really did love the boy as a son. If he had been any other Son no way he would have let him near his daughter. Yet he was also very angry with Goten. How dare he speak to his princess like that! Bra had every right not to want to forgive him. With a smirk on his face though he nodded. She would though, some day soon. He could already tell. A Saiya-jin love bond had already been formed between them, and nothing can destroy one. Bra had a strong will, and that was the only reason why she did not forgive Goten earlier. For, if it was any weaker, even by the smallest amount, she would have forgiven him in a second.
Pan made an exact copy of the note and studied the way the person spoke. She already knew who it was, but she just had to confirm it with someone else first.
