I wrote this over the weekend, access to comp, but not to the net, so I
haven't really had time to review all of your stories... I'll get to that
tomorrow. In the meantime... although this chapter may make it seem it is a
quick V/G get together, that is not the case at all.... then if it is not
that, then what is it? Well, it's absolute crap... It must be the worse
chapter I've ever written. It's really hard to write something in this
field and try to be original, and even more so if you want to keep it
somewhat funny, in the end this has resulted in a very short first-day-
chapter, but you'll just have to live with it, ne? If only it weren't such
crap... but heck, I didn't think people would find what I did 'funny', and
now, people are laughing their arses off. There's no accounting for tastes
I guess, and a lot of people would be out of business if there were :)
Anyway, on with the chapter.

Chapter 3 Tail
Gohan looked at the blackhaired girl with a look of both terror and confusion. But when the teacher began to speak, he quickly averted his gaze, and for some odd reason started blushing as the girl with the black ponytails glared at him, the scowl she was wearing softening to a slight frown when Erasa whispered something into her ear. When Erasa whispered again he saw the frown disappear completely and turn into a grin, a very mean grin at that. The ponytailed girl looked at him with an amused look. For some unexplainable reason, Gohan's blush deepened to a new shade of red.
'What is going on with me?'
"Hey new kid, lay off that chick if you want to live."
"Huh?" Gohan turned away from his notes, to see the arrogant smile of a longhaired blonde, muscular boy.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't play dumb with me new kid, I saw you staring at her and then blushing. I know she's pretty, but you shouldn't try anything with her... she's dangerous. Only I would be able to come near her, but she doesn't even want me around, so there's no chance she'd put up with a dork like you."
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Gohan said, honestly confused. The blonde's arrogant smile turned into a disdainful scowl.
"Fine, get your butt kicked, I was only trying to help, dork. But if you have a deathwish, see if I care." Gohan blinked at the teen, completely confused.
"Well, thanks... I guess... what's your name anyway?" The teen's grin returned as he answered.
"It's Sharpener... but I don't think you and I need to be talking too much, it might affect my reputation."
Gohan's look of confusion couldn't have become much more baffled.
"What do you mean?" Sharpener's eye twitched before he lazily turned around to sit, stretching his arms and legs, comfortably laying himself down in his chair.
"Just shut up, dork. I've had enough of you for one day."
"Oh, don't mind Sharpener, he's only in love with himself and doesn't care about anybody." the other blonde, Erasa, said to Gohan.
"You wouldn't want to hang out with him anyway.... but since I'm available, you might want to..." Erasa poked him in the side suggestively.
"Huh?"Gohan said, not looking up from his notes. The teacher had started explaining differentiating the tangens.
"Well, you and I...." Erasa's look turned even more inviting, as she poked him in the side again.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about." Gohan said, giving her an odd glance. A vein started to throb on her forehead, as she shouted to Gohan.
"Hey! Show some initiative here!"
"What?" Gohan yelped.
"A date, you dork!"Erasa said, hushing her voice as the teacher looked up.
"OH! Then why didn't you say so!" Gohan said, something that could be mistaken for understanding dawning in his eyes.
"So what do you say?" Erasa said, virtually crawling onto his lap, looking up at him hopefully.
"Umm... no, I'm sorry. I have quite a long drive home, my mom might get worried."
"Your mom might get... right. But where do you live then?"Erasa crawled away from him a bit, seemingly disappointed.
"Huh? Oh, the 439 area." Gohan said casually.
"Oh, that's pretty... 439?!!?!??!?" Erasa stood up, her lower jaw dangling at her feet.
"Uhh yeah."Gohan said shyly
"But how---"Erasa's shouting was interrupted by the teacher who looked annoyed
"Look class, I'm teaching here (talking to a set of walls and desks actually). So if you would please refrain from letting your hormones fly all through classroom, I'd be most thrilled. That goes for you too miss Erasa."
"Umm... yes sir."
***
Gohan heaved a sigh of relief as he left the classroom. He saw a girl with red hair wink at him. He looked up at her with a questioning look in his eyes. She giggled, and moved up to him, books wrapped in her arms in front of her. Gohan took a step back as the girl moved closer. He stepped back again and grinned back at the giggling girl nervously. She smiled at him and moved past him. He saw her hips swaying as she moved off. 'Woah, she looks--' Gohan mentally slapped himself again. What was up with him?
All these teenagers were crazy, it must be rubbing of on him.
"Hey new kid, get over here." A voice he'd heard before shouted. It was the ponytailed girl, a frown on her face that left no room for argument.
"Uh... yes ma'am." He said, not knowing what to answer. The girl laughed in response.
"You haven't been around teenagers much, have you? Not surprising if you live in the 439 area actually." Her frown had returned now. She looked much prettier when she smiled, Gohan decided before mentally disciplinating himself again.
"I suppose so" he said half mumbling.
"I've heard the 439 area is quite beautiful, and it is good training ground due to wild animals and harsh conditions. Mountains too. I suppose you aren't too weak yourself." She said, half joking. Gohan didn't pick it up and said
"Yeah, I have my training spots." the girl looked somewhat surprised to hear that.
"You will have to show them to me sometime." Gohan panicked at the thought of this girl seeing him in training.
"I'm not sure if that---"
"It wasn't a question new kid." Videl snapped back.
"...Oh." Gohan stared at his feet. Why was he so intimidated?
"You should feel honoured to have me at your place, do you know that?" the girl was practically snarling half of her words. It frightened Gohan.
"Err... why?"
***
Videl looked at Son Gohan, the new kid, with eyes like saucers. She was hoping to be recognised as herself, Satan Videl, crimefighter. But even if that failed, they would know her as the daughter fo the great Satan Hercule. This kid... was he so clueless?
"Well... I'm Satan Videl."she said
"What's your point?"
Her eyes widened, and she could feel her anger flaring. He didn't know her. The BRAT. She hated when she had to use her father for recognition, but this was a hopeless situation.
"I'm the daughter of Satan Hercule." she said growling. She was dumbfounded as Son Gohan started laughing.... of all the possible responses, laughing was not one that had crossed her mind.
"STOP IT!" Gohan stopped immediately, snickering a little bit.
"You remind me of someone you know?" Gohan said, his shyness completely vanished. Videl felt herself... blushing? What was this? What had she done to herself to deserve such a reaction? She fought the blush in its tracks and glared at him angrily.
"You will come to the party my father is giving for me and my friends tonight. There we will talk." Gohan immediately stopped snickering.
"But I---"
"That was NOT a question." with that Videl left, leaving a mumbling wideeyed Gohan behind.
***
The rest of the day was an absolute horror which Gohan would love to forget. He'd broken three legs as he rampaged right through the legs of 'cool' teens who wanted to trip the new nerd. He had accidentally lifted a whole row of desks as he searched for his pen underneath and he had snapped three pens when he heard girls trying to come on to him, not to mention the odd looks he had gotten from all the people at lunch.... you would nearly think these people could be sated with only a few sandwiches. The mere thought made him shudder.
There were also some positive things in this whole mess. Erasa proved to be quite kind, as did Videl when she was not scowling. And even Sharpener was kind to him when noone was around. On top of that, his initial reactions to females were slightly growing less. He sighed.
'Just one more hour to go.' he prayed nothing bad would happen. He looked at the chart they had given him. P. E. He thanked God. He was really good at everything, there was no way he would make a fool of himself there.
***
"Now class. I want you all to pay attention. We will be playing dodgeball. I will let Videl and... you Marker pick out teams. Now go. I will be in the cafeteria when you need me."
Videl rolled her eyes. The PE teacher was once again counting on her to keep order. She would of course... but she hated all this responsibility. Now... who would she pick first? She knew that Sharpener was very good at dodgeball, not as good as Pensiru though... but then her eyes fell on the new kid... Gohan. He was wearing a ridiculous outfit that seemed to cover all of his body. Only his arms were left out, it was school policy. And those arms were very muscular... she fought another blush. What was this with her blood constantly going to her face? Her frown deepened, and she saw the class looking at Gohan curiously, who seemed to be sweating. He was nervous... she could see it... but why? Didn't matter. She wanted to see what he was really made of, ever since he ripped an entire row of desks from the floor... an odd trick of course... but in combination with those arms... he could be really strong.
"Son Gohan, get your butt over here." she scowled
"Yes ma'am" he said half mumbling, joining Videl's side. Marker looked at Videl oddly, but grinned.
"I'll pick Sharpener." It was well known they were friends.
"Then I'll pick Pensiru."
They continued untill the teams were formed. Then they divided the hall in two and grabbed a ball.
"Okay, standard rules. The team that cheats will find itself in detention" Videl shouted.
Videl took the ball and looked at her first option... she could throw at one of those whimpy girls and get the ball to bounce back to thin the opponent's ranks... No she wanted to see what Gohan was made of first. She tossed the ball to him, minding it was not too fast, he might miss it. He caught it casually, using only his indexfinger. He waited a while then blushed.
"Umm... what do I do Videl?" His team fell over and the opponents laughed loudly. Videl's right eye twitched. What had she gotten herself into?
"Throw the ball at the opponents..." she balled her fists and one of her brow veins started throbbing visibly.
"Oh... well that's easy."
***
Remember Gohan, don't throw too hard. You want to hide your strength. He arched his arm backwards and growled somewhat as he saw the other team still laughing. Then he threw. He heard a slight crack and a loud scream as the ball hit marker and bounced off the wall back to him. The other team had stopped laughing and was looking at him. Some where tending to Marker who seemed to be unconscious and bleeding.
"Was that good?" Gohan asked smiling enthusiatically at Videl.
"Uhh... yeah very good... you might want to slow it down a little though."
"Okay, if you say so."
***
Videl saw teen after teen fall down to the ground unconscious. She blinked, not believing what she saw. Was the nerd Gohan really doing this? Unbelievable.... but the pools of blood around some of the unconscious students told her otherwise. This might even be dangerous. But she was relieved as she saw some stand up and back away from the ball.
Gohan was about to begin throwing balls at the team for another round when Videl decided to butt in.
"Umm... that'll do... why don't we... jog a little bit to relax?" Videl said hesitantly grabbing Gohan's arm.
"Jog? But some of them are still standing! Look, some are getting up! We are not giving up already, are we?"
"No... we are just going for a little jog... some kids seem to be pretty beat up." And with Videl motioned some of her team to help get these people to the school nurse. In the end, there were just 5 able bodied students left.
"Alright, this is quite an odd lesson, so those who run 20 laps can go home." Videl could hear some of her fellow students groan. So it was 40 minutes of walking. She knew it was harsh, but she needed to give the kids a good PE. And she couldn't think of anything more fun for the moment. She noticed that Gohan also groaned.
"And I thought I'd at least get a decent warmup." she heard him mumble.
A... decent warmup? 20 laps no decent warmup? What was this kid?
"Umm... right. Let's get going."
***
2 minutes later Gohan was in the showers. He still wondered why everyone had been staring at him oddly... he wasn't going THAT fast. He had just shrugged and walked away, his mission for today complete. He was alone in the showers, which was good... he really didn't want people to get ideas about his strength! They were supposed to think he was an average student. He smiled to himself. Yes, PE might have saved his day... he had really been holding back, and he was sure it had shown.
Gohan turned off the shower and grabbed his towel. He sighed as he started drying himself of. He lazily put away his soap and swiped the tail of his left leg.
'The damned thing is so irritating, always gets in the way---'
'wait a minute....'
'TAIL???'
