In Their Naïve Minds

Chapter 1: Girls and Smooches

It was the first day of classes and the seven-year-old Goten was going to be late. He hurried in all his preparations for school for his special day. He took a two-minute bath, a piece of toast then took his bag and went on his way to school.

On his way to school, he saw his older brother Gohan talking to a beautiful girl. He didn't mind bothering them to let them have some privacy.

When will I get a girl? He thought not knowing the consequences of having one.

Then he went on to school.

The classes started by the time he reached school. He soon met his teacher, Ms. Li. He didn't like the teacher for she was so strict. And she let them say their names one by one. And Goten was very shy.

"Okay class, I am Ms. Li. I won't tolerate anyone that calls me Ma'am. I don't want to get older."

Everyone listened except Goten.

"Now, tell me your names. Let us start here."

Everyone was so frightened that nobody wanted to talk.

"Nobody wants? Okay, this means that I have to pick one. Hmm… YOU!" Ms. Li said as she pointed to the boy sitting at the last row, Goten.

Goten stood up as he said, "Me ma'am?"

Ms. Li was shocked when Goten said that.

"Ma'am?"

"Yes Ma'am."

"Ma'am?!"

"Um… Yes Ma'am?"

"MA'AM?!? Didn't I tell you not to call me ma'am?!" Ms. Li shouted directly to Goten.

Goten shouted and he burst into tears.

Ms. Li was so angry that she went outside the room.

A beautiful girl came walking towards Goten as soon as the teacher went out of the room.

"Oh don't cry now, she's always like that! Always mean to us. Don't worry I hate her too!"

"Reaaaaaaally?"

"Reaaaaaaally!"

Goten decided to look at her to say thank you but he became speechless as he saw her face.

"What's the matter? Still scared?" Kasumi asked.

"Um… not …rea… lly," Goten replied with a clear shock on his face.

"By the way, I'm Kasumi. What's yours?" she asked Goten in a soft, lovely voice.

"Goten," he replied.

"Don't cry anymore okay? Umm… here's something for you so you won't be sad anymore. My mommy does this to me everytime I'm sad."

Kasumi then moved closer to Goten and she gave him a sweet little…

kiss.
