"Oh God!" Videl woke up screaming. She couldn't move, couldn't breathe, it was like something was holding her down to her bed. She felt her body go numb and then just as quick as it started, it ended.

Videl breathed, lying there. She felt very cold at that moment, and even her fluffy, expensive comforter wasn't doing anything to help her.

The door slammed open. "Videl? Sugarplum? Are you okay?" It was her dad looking very concerned.

Videl smiled at her dad's expression. Sometimes he does care. she thought to herself.

"Yes, It was just a bad dream."

"Okay, if you say so," he said. "If you need me just call!"

He exited the room. Videl still smiling looked at the clock next to her bed. It was six o' clock. She might as well get up.

"Gohan!" Eraser called. "Over here!"

The short blond was sitting at one of the picnic tables situated at Orange Star high. Next to her was a powerfully built male, with long blond hair wearing a sports jacket. He snorted at the sight of Gohan.

Gohan was wearing the usual, his black vest over a white shirt and red pants to top it off. He was favoring his right arm.

"What happened?" Sharpener, the guy said as Gohan sat down.

Gohan rubbed his right arm remembering yesterdays training with Goten. The boy was getting stronger everyday. "Uh.nothing." he lied.

"Uh huh." Sharpener said sarcastically. "Sure."

Eraser slapped him playfully on the shoulder. "Sharpener!" she scolded. "Leave Gohan alone."

"Whatever." Sharpener said a bit gruffly.

"Where's Videl?" Gohan asked trying to change the subject.

"She hasn't come yet," Sharpener said.

"Hey Gohan, have you noticed anything weird about Videl lately?" Eraser asked.

Gohan shrugged. "Well, now that you mention it she has been acting really strange."

"She hasn't been sleeping well lately." Sharpener put in surprising both Gohan and Eraser.

Eraser leaned closer to Sharpener "How do you know?"

Sharpener gave her a 'it was obvious' look "The bags under her red eyes kind of hinted at it."

"It's probably the finals coming up." Eraser said. "You know how Videl gets every year."

Sharpener groaned. "Don't say that word!"

"Oh finals! I completely forgot about those!" Gohan said mostly to himself. "I should start studying."

"Shut the hell up Gohan," Sharpener said a bit annoyed. "You probably know all the answers anyways; you always do."

Gohan's eyes narrowed. "Sharpener I don't know wh-"

"A study group!" Eraser interrupted just in time.

"What?!" Sharpener and Gohan asked at the same time.

"Since we all have to study finals and we all have the same classes, we should meet at somebody's house." Eraser said.

Sharpener looked dumbstruck and Gohan looked like a little kid in a candy store. "That's a great idea!"

"Plus, we'll stop Videl from turning into a mindless zombie and," Eraser scooted closer to Gohan and wrapped her arms around him. "We can spend more quality time together if you know what I mean."

"W-w-what?!" Gohan stammered, his face coloring involuntary.

Sharpener and Eraser bust out laughing. "Your face!" Sharpener said between laughs. "It's so red!"

Eraser patted Gohan on the shoulder. "Relax Gohan," she said. "It's not like I'm forcing you to do anything anyways."

"Eraser have you been messing around with Gohan again?" it was Videl who was rapidly approaching them.

The three jumped and then tried to resume a normal look, but Videl could see their somber expressions.

"What's going on?" she asked. "You look like somebody died."

"N-n-nothing Videl," all three of them said nervously.

Videl lowered an eyebrow. "It doesn't sound like nothing." She pointed out.

"Hey Videl we're having a study group!" Sharpener almost yelled trying to change the subject. "Wanna come."

Videl still sensed that there was something up with the three but she shrugged it off. "Yeah, it's a great idea, where are we having it."

"Uh huh.at Gohan's house!" Eraser put in.

"What?!" Gohan said but slapped his hand over his mouth.

Videl gave Gohan a sidelong glance. "Gohan, are you sure you asked your mom if you can do this."

Gohan laughed a bit too loudly. "Of course! I don't think my mom would mind me studying."

Videl sat down slamming her hands on the table. "Okay you guys," she said exasperatedly. "What's going on?!"

The three stared at each other. Videl was on her last nerve. "Eraser!!" she said straining to control herself.

"Yes!"

"I need to talk to you about something." Videl said.

Eraser gulped. "Uh okay."

Videl got up and taking Eraser's arm (a bit forcefully) they walked behind a tree out of sight from the boys.

"What's going on?" Videl asked. "You guys are hiding something and I want to know."

Eraser knew she had to tell her the truth, even if it hurt. "Actually," she started. "You've been acting weird lately and you don't want to tell us anything about it."

"What?!" Videl looked taken aback.

"Videl,"

Videl suddenly went into a defensive position, "Nothing's wrong with me, I- I asked you first."

"We're just being concerned about you."

Just then the bell rang. "Whatever, thank you, I gotta go to class," Videl said.

Eraser watched as Videl walked away into the school building. "So what happened?"

Sharpener and Gohan were behind her. "I know Videl is hiding something," Eraser said. "I just don't know what!"

Gohan looked hurt. "I wish she would tell us."

* * * * *

Videl knew they wouldn't understand. She desperately wanted to tell someone, she wanted to get the dread feeling off her chest, but no one would understand. Not even Gohan, who Videl knew, had been through his share of weird events.

She could barely even remember the dream and others before it anyways. All she remembered was blood and feathers.

Videl shook her head, trying to clear the thoughts that were running through her mind. It was all so confusing.

Slamming her locker closed she headed towards the classroom. It was no use in concentrating on dreams, no matter how freaky they were. Besides finals were coming up and she hadn't started studying for them.
