Unconsciously, I coiled my muscles for an attack. I don't care for killing without a reason but……but what? Kill Son just to keep my identity safe? What would happen if my identity be reviled? Death maybe. Dishonor for sure. Would I still keep my pride? That's what matters most. But I'm torn between the murder of Son Gohan and the loss of my pride. My honor wouldn't let me murder him. What if I called him out? Challenged him to a battle. My contemplating almost made me miss what Son had to say next.
"Well, see you latter." Son said and caught me completely off guard.
"Uh, well okay." I stuttered, stunned.
"Bye." Videl said and they turned away and I as able to breath easier. Once they were out of sight, I busied myself by cursing out loud in several languages at my incompetence before I took a well-deserved nap before my next class started.
I got to my next class while it was still relatively empty. I sat in my usual seat by the window and watched the rainfall that had awakened me from my nap. I glanced back inside the room at the bright and cheerful students as they came and laughingly complained about the rain as they tried to shake what water droplets they could from their clothes and hair. Looking back outside it seemed as if the storm had washed out all the color from the world except the small shelter of the room protecting me and the rest of the students. I still would rather be outside. The rain matched my current mood more than the brightly lit room.
I sensed Son come in the class but I ignored him, still wishing to be outside or back in the ship or ANYTHING, even back at the Lab in my little cage then in the class with Son. And again I had cause to curse myself as my dark mood blocked me from sensing as Son approached.
"Hey," he said and I jerked around to face him. He grinned at me "Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you but I've noticed you sitting here all alone and I wanted to know if you would like to come sit in the empty seat near us?" he waved his hand and I followed the gesture to where his friends sit. I swallowed. What now? I've tried so hard to keep from Son's notice and he's actually inviting me amongst his friends…But then again this might be a good opportunity to learn about what Saiyans were still alive and what they were doing. Son would know that. But it would be easer to blow my cover if I'm near him.
"Come on over!" The blond girl waved at me. I think her name was Erasa. I sat on the edge of indecision but Son solved that for me. The usually gentle half-Saiyan pulled me to my feet and prodded me in that direction. I went. But ONLY because I didn't want to show my real strength….. Who was I kidding. I was lonely. I haven't had a friend since a Narin that I nicknamed Shadow had crossed my path. I can pretend to be their friends for a while until I needed to go. I've done that many times before, I can do it easily now. Just pretend…
