Chapter one got a favorable response so here's chapter 2. Ugh! I would have
had this out days earlier but first I got sick a couple of days last
Friday, then a Math test, then an English essay… Hoo boy. Anyway, here
Gohan finds out how many times he can come close to revealing his secret to
the entire school in one day!
Gohan, Erasa, Videl, and Sharpner were all walking in the hall after their first class. "So Gohan, what's your next class?" Erasa asked him. "P.E." Gohan responded glancing at his schedule. "That's great! That's our class too!" Erasa exclaimed. "Gohan in P.E. This I gotta see!" Sharpner chuckled. "So Gohan where do you live?" Erasa asked. "The 439 Mountain district." Gohan said without thinking. "WHAT?!? That's got to be a five- hour commute!" "Uh well that's how dedicated I am to my studies!" Gohan laughed as he mental cursed himself at the slip. "Well we're going to be late if we don't move so lets go already!" Videl reminded them as they hurried to the changing rooms.
(This is going to be a problem) Gohan thought to himself as he finished changing into his P.E. clothes. The students were required to wear shorts and a tee shirt for P.E class, and unfortunately for Gohan, it displayed his physique a bit more than he wanted. (Cmon Gohan, what's the worst that could happen?) he reminded himself as he emerged into the gym and joined the class. A minute later he now knew why it's a good idea to never ask yourself that question. Without even having to look he was conscious of the stares he was getting from everyone, especially the girls. Erasa nudged him in the back as he took his place among the class. "You been holding out on his Gohan? Looking good!" she said loud enough to be heard by the people around him. Gohan blushed a little, and it got worse when a female voice whistled at him.
Videl studied him from her place off to the side. She grimaced when she saw Angela whistle at him. (Bimbo… throws herself at every cute guy she sees. Wait a minute cute!?!) She had never thought much of boys before, most of the guys in the school were terrified of her and the rest just saw her as Hercules' daughter. Videl didn't have a problem with that; she was too busy for boys anyway. She had to admit; she liked what she saw though. Most guys would concentrate on bulk, but Gohan seemed to prefer muscle definition. (He definitely spends some time working out to get a body like that… wow…) "Videl!!" she jumped when she realized Sharpner had said something to her. Annoyed with herself for spacing out like that she turned to Sharpner. "What is it?" Videl said. "I said what are you staring at Gohan for anyway? Getting an eyeful of nerd boy?" Sharpner smirked. "Gohan's not a nerd Sharpner! I bet he could kick your butt!" Videl retorted. "Right, he's too scrawny to last 5 seconds." Sharpner shook his head dismissively. "Right, if you think those inflatable balloons you call muscles would help you." Videl laughed, that was when the Gym teacher came in.
"Alright, today we're doing some physical tests to see were you all stand. First we'll start with some stretches to warm up." The class all began to do some stretching warm-ups. It went quickly for Gohan as they soon were lined up for the first test pull-ups. Gohan was near the front of the line, standing right behind Videl and Sharpner. The results from most of the class were pretty pitiful. Many did not even get above 10 pull-ups Gohan noted amused. Then it was Sharpener's turn, he managed to get 35 before he dropped off. "35, very good Sharpener." The Gym teacher said to him. Sharpner however looked disgusted. "I should of gotten 40, I don't know what happened…." He muttered as he walked off. "Alright Videl, you're next." The gym teacher said motioning to her. Videl grinned as she came up and started her pull-ups. Gohan watched as she racked up 40 pull-ups without showing signs of tiring and kept on going. "65, 66, 67," the teacher counted when suddenly Videl slipped off. "Darn it! I slipped!" She said shaking her head annoyed.
"That's ok Videl, 67 is plenty." The teacher chuckled as he motioned to Gohan who nodded and steeped up. He cracked his knuckles and began his pull-ups. Gohan quickly became bored and his mind began to wander as he did his pull-ups on automatic. (You know doing pull-ups is one thing I don't think I've done in my training. I guess I've always had a better way to increase upper body strength.) He chuckled to himself. (I wonder what the next test will be? It looks like it won't be anything I'll have to worry about accidentally using my powers on.) The back of Gohan's neck was itching and it was getting pretty annoying. Gohan used his left hand to scratch the back of his neck as he continued his pull-ups when a gasp from the rest of the class got his attention. He glanced behind him and saw the entire class staring at him goggle-eyed. (What? I was just scratching my neck while doing pull-ups one han…. oh….) "Ah heh heh heh…" he laughed weakly, "Uh…what number was I on?" Gohan asked weakly. "110 son…." The coach said in a weak voice. "Oh…. I guess I'm done." Gohan laughed weakly as he dropped off. "Oohhh my arms…" he made a show of rubbing his arms like they were burning.
Everyone was still staring at him as he retreated to the back of the group with a beet red face. (Great move Gohan…) he thought to himself angrily. He then felt a pair of eyes boring into the back of his head. He didn't need to sense the high ki to know that Videl was staring at him. (I swear that girl could make Vegeta balk with that stare.) He suppressed a shudder. "Wow Gohan… that was incredible! You almost doubled Videl's count! How'd you do it?" Erasa exclaimed. Gohan instinctively fell back on the classic Son technique for this situation. Ignorance. "I must have gotten lucky! Besides Videl slipped during hers, I'll bet she would have gotten a lot more then me if she hadn't!" "Right, it must have been luck." Erasa nodded, but didn't look like she believed it.
During the sit-ups portion of the tests, Gohan paid special attention to what he was doing and went at a slower pace than Videl. Videl had cleared 110 when Gohan reached 100 and was still going strong when the coach called time. The rest of the tests were uneventful until the last half of the period when the coach made an announcement. "Well that's the end of the tests, so for the rest of the class we're doing dodge ball. Sharpener and Videl, you're captains." "Alright for my first pick I choose Gohan. If you can do that well at those tests you can't screw this up. You do know how to play don't you." Sharpner asked him. "Well… no." Gohan said sheepishly. "Oh man… hey Videl! Why don't you take him instead?" Sharpner pleaded with her. "You picked him Sharpner, you keep him!" She replied as she made her first choice. "Darn it. All right listen up Gohan. In Dodge ball there's two teams, each team throws those balls at each other." He pointed to the piles of balls in the center of the gym. "You get hit with a ball, you're out. Last team standing wins. Got that?" Sharpner asked. "Yeah sure." Gohan said confidently. "Uh which side are we on?" he asked. "I must be nuts." Sharpner sighed.
Soon the teams were decided and they went to their respective sides. "Begin!" the coach blew his whistle and the Dodge ball war began. After a moment of watching Gohan quickly picked up the nuances of the game. (This is easy! I did something like this when Piccolo trained me when I was little! Except he used ki blasts of course.) Gohan laughed as he dodged a weak throw from an opponent easily. Most of the students weren't very good shots, but Videl and Sharpner were very good. Soon both teams began to thin out as Gohan lazily dodged the occasional shot that came his way. (This would be more fun if they could throw a little faster. Even still this brings back memories.) "Gohan!" Sharpner yelled at him. "You're supposed to throw balls at the other team too!" Sharpner yelled at him turning his attention to Gohan for a moment. Unfortunately for him this was fatal. "Gotcha!" Videl yelled triumphantly as she pegged him in the chest with an accurate ball knocking Sharpner out of the game. "Darn it!" Sharpner muttered. "Videl that was a cheap shot!" "Quit whining you big sissy!" She retorted.
The game went downhill for Gohan's team after that as they fell one after another to Videl's accurate shooting. Soon it was Videl and eight others versus a lone Gohan. "Any last words Gohan?" Videl smirked as she bounced a ball in her palm. Gohan smirked back confidently as Videl whipped the ball at him. To her shock Gohan moved out of the way effortlessly. Gohan dodged again easily as five of Videl's teammates all threw a ball at him at once. (Now this is a little better, I just wish they could throw a little harder.) Gohan said to himself with a smile. He leaned his head to the side to avoid a ball thrown at his head from Videl. (Oh yeah, I'm supposed to throw balls back at them. Ok, nice soft shot.) He picked up the ball and threw it at Videl's teammate. Unfortunately it wasn't as soft as he thought it would be. The ball smacked the guy upside the head and he dropped like a puppet with its strings cut. "Oh man…. That was too hard…" Gohan muttered to himself. Videl and the rest of their team were too shocked to do anything so Gohan took the opportunity to hit the others with the lightest toss he was capable of. Much to his relief it didn't injure anyone else but he was amused when Videl snapped to her senses and dodged his throw at the last second.
Videl turned back to him after watching the gym teacher take the injured student, who was starting to revive but looked quite dizzy, off to the side. By the look on Videl's face she had begun to take him seriously. Gohan wasn't worried about that however. (I sure hope that poor guy is ok, I didn't mean to hit him so hard. Way to hide your strength Gohan.) Gohan ducked to avoid two rapid throws from Videl and launched a soft one at her, which she avoided. (Maybe I should just let her win this one. I think I've done enough damage.) Gohan's Saiyan side rebelled at the concept of giving up in a contest but Gohan forced it down. He made a show of dodging the next throw but he let it tag him in the leg. "Alright that's it, Videl's team wins!" The coach called. Gohan and Videl met each other at center court. "That was a good game Videl." Gohan said to Videl. "Thank you Gohan." Videl said. "Is that guy ok? He didn't look so good after I hit him." Gohan said worriedly. "Rick?" Videl asked looking over at the him, "His girlfriend hits him harder when he makes her mad, but I have a question for you Gohan." Videl said narrowing her eyes at him.
"Uh ok. What is it?" Gohan asked nervously. "This morning when you introduced yourself in class you said you enjoyed marital arts. Where'd you train at to be able to throw so hard and dodge like that?" she asked staring at him with that piercing expression she wore almost naturally. Gohan eyes widened as he began to bluster. "Well it was pretty informal training and I didn't hit him that hard, just at the right angle." If anything Videl glared harder. She clearly didn't buy it. Videl opened her mouth just as the coach yelled out. "Alright hit the showers!" "Well gotta go Videl bye!" Gohan called out hastily. Videl watched him run off, (That was no lucky throw Son Gohan. I'm going to find out why you're avoiding the question. One way or another.) The rest of the day was pretty uneventful for Gohan except for the fact he almost ripped his lock off accidentally when the combination wouldn't work for the fifth time.
As he was leaving school to go to a secluded place to call Nimbus, he suddenly became aware of someone following him. Gohan knew that by the high Ki it was Videl. (He lives in the 439 Mountain District yet he looks like he was walking home from school. What is he up too?) Videl wondered as she followed Gohan as he ducked behind a building. When Videl got around it Gohan was gone. "What? Where'd he go? This is impossible! The nearest street corner was a good distance away!" From the rooftop of the building Gohan watched Videl look around in confusion. "This could become a problem. Hmm maybe Bulma could help. I'll go see her."
That's the end of Chapter 2. Next Chapter, Saiyaman is born.
