Goten…

"Remind me again why I have to through this emotionally wounding stage of life. I seem to have forgotten in my state of cynicism." CJ sighed.

"Because if you don't then you'll end up working at a burger joint when you're forty." Juliana replied.

"No, I asked you why I have to go through with this. My parents are rich and no matter how much they hate me it wouldn't be good socially if they let me work in a burger joint." CJ said. I couldn't help but feel bad for CJ, even if she was exaggerating a bit. "And don't look at me like that Son, I am NOT exaggerating."

We stood outside the massive building known as Orange Star High School. I had heard a lot of stories about this place from my brother. It's where he first met Videl and who knew, maybe this would be the place where I finally confessed my feelings for CJ and we lived happily ever after. Note to self: no more reading bedtime stories to Pan.

"Well all I know is this is the place where I'll be a legend. The envy of all the guys and the attraction of all the girls. Aah, it's so sad to think of all the hearts I'll break here." Trunks said, dramatically clutching his chest.

"Trunks please. If anyone will be breaking hearts it'll be Lil Tak." CJ huffed. "You're like a boy band version of him."

"Well I dunno…" Lil Tak said blushing. I wish CJ thought that about me…(A/N: Aawwww!)

"What? Have you got a thing from him now?" Trunks asked.

"Of course not. I mean, no offence Tak but you're like my brother or something." CJ said. "And if that comment is spread around I'll be forced to tan your hides." She walked into the school building and we hurried after her.

"Woah…" We all breathed as we took in the size of the place. A couple of guys saw us and started laughing.

"Well, what do you know Matt? We've got ourselves some genuine freshmen!" The blonde said. The redhead, or Matt, smirked evilly.

"I say we do Steve. And my, my, my ain't this one pretty?" Matt said looking over Juliana. Juliana blushed and giggled stupidly. "What's your name sweetie?"

"Her name is none of your business." Lil Tak said, standing in front of Matt. He totally towered over him it was so cool! "What do you want?"

"We were just checking out the new deliveries. And you, my tall nemesis, just made the black list. See ya around stretch." Matt said. "And I hope I'll be seeing you as well sweetie." Matt winked and he and Steve walked off.

"What in the blue hell is your problem?!" Juliana said, smacking Lil Tak in the arm. Lil Tak looked confused.

"Did Jules just say 'what in the blue hell'?" I asked.

"Yah huh." Trunks replied.

"Dude, didn't we write that down as one of the signs of the apocalypse?" CJ asked.

"Yah huh." Trunks replied.

"I was just sticking up for ya Jules! Those guys look like…"

"Someone that would make Manny look innocent?" Trunks offered.

"Yeah." Lil Tak said.

"I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself thank you! The next time I want your help, I'LL ASK FOR IT!" Juliana shrieked before walking off.

"Woah. What the heck was that?" I asked.

"That was teenage hormones at work." CJ said. "I have nine sisters and I see this everyday. Juliana is one of those 'boy crazy' girls. Good lord, I hope I don't turn out like that when I hit thirteen."

"This is going to be hard, isn't it?" I asked.

"Yah huh." Trunks replied.

"Good grief Mop Top, ya sound like a broken record." CJ sighed.

Later at lunch…

"What is the matter with him today?" Lil Tak asked. He was talking about Trunks, who was currently huddled up, shivering and muttering nervously.

"What do you mean today?" CJ said, raising an eyebrow.

"I don't know." I said with my mouth full. "He won't tell me what happened."

"First swallow and then talk Goten. Boys are so disgusting." Juliana said.

"Hey, lay off him. He can eat how he likes." CJ said. All that was going around in my head was 'YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!'

"Well maybe I can fill you in on all the details!" A voice said. We looked up and saw a brown-haired girl who was chewing on a string of strawberry liquorish.

"And you are?" CJ asked.

"Oops, I knew I forgot something. Sorry!" The girl said as she sat down. "The name's Remy."

"Remy? But, isn't that a guy's name?" Juliana asked.

"Yah, my real name is Ramona but Remy is a nickname coz I got a mad obsession with comic books and a certain comic book character." Remy said. (First person to get that reference FULLY CORRECT gets a guest appearance in the next chapter!) She seemed like a nice girl but kind of hyperactive. "I saw what happened to Trunks."

"Really? What was it?" I asked.

"Yah, and don't leave out any details." CJ said.

"Okay, here's what happened…"

**FLASHBACK**

Trunks walked out of homeroom with a confident smile on his face. Every girl in his homeroom class was checking him out. He was already sure that he was going to be a legend at this school. Suddenly, he felt the ground beneath him rumble. He looked behind him and paled. Girls. Literally hundreds of them were running towards him. Even older girls were chasing after him. Trunks tried to run away but he only got to the end of the corridor and there in front of him were even more girls.

"How many girls go to this school anyway?!" Trunks yelled before he was trampled on.

"I GOT HIS SHOE!"

"I GOT HIS SOCK!!"

"I GOT HIS SHIRT!!"

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLPP!!"

**END FLASHBACK**

"There were girls all over him and touching him in places I don't even want to think about." Remy said, shuddering. "Poor kid. He'll never be the same."

"Well it serves him right. Boasting about being a legend in this school blah, blah, blah. It's instant karma." Juliana said.

"Harsh lady." Remy commented.

"You a freshman too Remy?" CJ asked.

"Yeah. It's kind of a drag though. I always though high school would be more exciting than this." Remy sighed. "Well I'd better go, I'm probably bothering you."

"No, sit and stay. We're in the same boat as you are Remy." Lil Tak said. Remy grinned. The doors of the cafeteria burst open.

"There he is! It's Trunks!" A girl screamed. Poor Trunks! He snapped out of his daze and got on his feet.

"Goten, if I don't make it out alive I want you to have my Lord of the Rings memorabilia collection." Trunks said as he zoomed off.

"Cool…what's memorability?" I asked.

"Memorabilia Goten." Juliana corrected.

"Isn't that what I said?" I said. The crowd of girls ran over to us.

"Which way did he go?!" One of them asked. She was wearing way too much make up and it made look like a clown!

"That way." CJ said pointing in the direction Trunks had gone. They zoomed after him. "Well that's my good deed for the day."

"Nice to see the crowd has dispersed." Remy said, gulping down a bottle of Coke in one go.

"You mean there were more of them before?!" Lil Tak asked.

"Mmm hmm."

"Heh, guess all the senior girls lost interest." Juliana smirked.

"No, all the freshman and sophomore girls have gone. Guess they thought they didn't stand a chance with all the competition." Remy said. We all face-faulted.

Later that day…

"Did I mention just how much high school rocks?" CJ said, although she didn't look too happy about it.

"Wait, just this morning you called it an 'emotionally wounding stage of life'. What changed your mind?" Lil Tak asked.

"Trunks getting harassed. It's probably the closest I've come to laughing." CJ stated.

"You remind me a lot of that cartoon character Daria." Remy said. We all cowered expecting CJ to bite poor Remy's head off.

"Thanks. She was my idol growing up. Although she was lucky, she only had one preppie sister." CJ said. Well that was unexpected.

"We've got to go to my brother's house Trunks. So will you please come out of the boys bathroom?!" I asked. We were all waiting outside for Trunks to come out.

"NO! This is the once place that I will be safe from those evil beasts!" Trunks said. "You can't make me come out."

"If you don't come out then I'll be forced to tell them where you are." I said.

"…You wouldn't!"

"Ooh, hardball Goten!" CJ said. Trunks sighed.

"Fine! But we get there as soon as poss." Trunks said running out of the boys' room, grabbing my arm and speeding away.

"Are they always like that?" Remy asked.

"No. It's usually Goten that freaks out about girls." Juliana commented. We got to Gohan's house in about ten seconds.

"HEY NII-CHAN!!" I yelled causing Gohan to yell and fall out of his chair. Pan started to giggle from her highchair. "If it isn't my favourite niece!" I walked over to Pan and ruffled her hair.

"Goten! We've got more pressing issue to discuss with your brother! Stop talking to the baby!" Trunks yelled. Pan pouted and threw a spoonful of her baby food at Trunks. It hit his face and she giggled hysterically. "Wow, a Son wasting food. Wonders never cease."

"What's up?" Gohan asked, getting up from the floor.

"I got jumped by three hundred girls today Gohan!!" Trunks exclaimed.

"C'mon, isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?" Gohan asked.

"No, it's true nii-chan. All the girls in the school jumped him! Then the younger girls gave up because there was too much competition!" I said. Gohan face-faulted.

"Gosh, you poor guy! When I went to that school I only got stalked. I never got jumped!" Gohan said.

"I think it's because I'm cooler than you Gohan." Trunks said.

"No way. It's because CJ keeps tipping the girls off to where you are." I said, munching on a sandwich. Trunks fumed.

"I DON'T BELIEVE IT!! I DON'T CARE IF SHE IS YOUR CRUSH GOTEN I'M GONNA KICK HER TEETH IN!!" Trunks yelled.

"Well if you do that then all the psycho girls will jump you. They'll see you as a 'bad boy'. I got that rep for a while when I almost beat up Josh Harris." Gohan reminisced. Trunks groaned.

"That's it!! I'm swearing off girls until high school!" Trunks declared. Gohan laughed.

"I give you two weeks Trunks."

"Thanks for the support Gohan…"

To Be Continued…

Well it was short and kind of 1-D but it's a chapter and it got uploaded. That's all I got to say.
