A/N: New DBZ story once again. Hope you all like, I figured I might as well do a highschool A/U for the fun of it. The whole story is in Juuhachi's POV. It deals with a lot of different stereotypes. In case you haven't noticed, I have issues with some preppy people. Enjoy!

Summary: A sophomore student named Juuhachi leads a life devoted to bringing people together, just for the fun of it. Dubbed "The Matchmaker" by her fellow peers, Juuhachi suddenly must move from her hometown to the Southwest Capitol, where everything this girl knew about love takes a 180 degree turn.
~*~
Hey, my name's Juuhachi. It was the middle of first semester in my sophomore year at East Capitol High, and everything was normal as usual. I lived in an old, yet rustic house with my brother Juuana and my Uncle Gero. I don't know what his first name is, he never told us. Anyways, my brother was standing by the water fountain, chatting with his latest preppy interest. The girl was pretty, but lacked basic intelligence: perfect for Juuana.
"Juuhachi! Hey, what's up?"
"Hey Elsa, I'm good."
"Who's the latest project?"
"Babs Gordon and Jeff Owitashi."
"So it's the hippie/prep combo this time? If you need help, just ring my cell oh mighty matchmaker."
That was Elsa, who was my best friend back then. She had dark purple hair and was always wearing tie-dye, placing her in the hippie category. She didn't mind my teasing, she joked with me all the time. Oh, sorry, I guess I should explain things better. You see, I was the school's matchmaker. I observed personalities and hooked people up, but never two people from the same crowd. That's just boring! Surprisingly, all my pairings have worked out quite well. I've had people stop me in the halls and thank me sometimes.
As for me, well, I wear tommy hilfiger, billabong and shit like that. I'm not a prep, far from it. They (the preps) refused to associate with me. Well, the girls. The guys certainly appreciated me, but that's because I bear more skin than the average person. Hey, if you have a great body, show it, that's my motto. If it weren't for my status as "The Matchmaker", I'd have been the biggest slut in the school, even though I'd never had a boyfriend. That's right, the matchmaker was a dateless wonder. Why? Number of things, gets complicated, I'll explain it later. Besides, it was so much more fun working with other's lives than my own. Mine was so...dull.
"Hey, Juuhachi! Come over tonight, you won't regret it!"
"As soon as you get a life, a brain, and some deodorant, I'll give it some thought Milo."
Kami I hated that guy! He was dead set on fucking me and there was NO WAY that would happen. I looked at my watch and realized that it was getting late and my bus would leave really soon.
I left the school, some jocks whistled, some bitches glared, and I smiled sweetly as I made my way towards my bus. I arrived at home to find Juuana bitching about something to Uncle Gero. Little did I know that this 'something' was about to change my life as I knew it.
"Juuhachi."
"Yeah Uncle?"
"We're moving."
I stood there, unable to speak. Moving? MOVING??!! Why would we move? Everything we'd ever wanted, needed and knew was here! No wonder Juuana was bitching. Actually, he was still bitching.
"We can't move! I just hooked up with this girl named Azumi! She's awesome! I can't just leave her! And what about all my friends?"
You have no idea how tempted I was to say "What friends?" but bro seemed pretty angry, so I kept my mouth shut.
"I've already made the decision, Juuana. We're moving in a month."
A month. Well, at least it gives me time to say goodbye to Elsa and Connor. Stupid me, didn't even tell you who Connor was, did I? He was a good guyfriend of mine. We met at the blues festival two years ago and found out we were going to the same high school. Yeah, I liked blues music back then, so what? I still do. A month should also be enough time to get Babs and Jeff together. They're very much alike, with subtle differences, only they don't know it yet. One thing confused me though - how did Juuana get home before me if he was talking to Azumi? Meh. Finally, my voice came back and I asked Uncle a question.
"Where are we going?"
"Southwest Capitol City. I'll be starting work along with the Capsule Corp. team."
So THAT was why we were moving. You see, Uncle's a scientist, really dedicated to his work. Sometimes I think he's a little TOO dedicated. But anyhow, I guess I should mention that Capsule Corp. is famous worldwide for its technology. Uncle must have been ecstatic to know that he would be working there. But to go all the way to Southwest Capitol - that was hard for bro and I. Of course, there was always instant messaging. It wasn't the same, but it allowed me to keep in touch with people.
I traipsed upstairs to my room, leaving Juuana and Uncle still arguing. I guessed I'd have to register with another martial arts school once we moved - didn't want my skills getting rusty now. Picking up the phone, I wondered if Elsa would even be there - she was always busy volunteering or fundraising or SOMETHING to help the community. The phone rang five times before I got the answering machine. I hung up - I wanted to tell her in person. I supposed it would have to wait until tomorrow.
~*~
Holy shit time flew by fast. It seemed like it had only been a day ago that I found out we were moving, and yet it had already been three weeks! Babs and Jeff had been going out for over a week now, another success for me. When I told Elsa and Connor that I was leaving, they got all sad and stuff. Connor cried for me. I was under the impression that he was a tough guy - guess I was wrong. It's nice to know he cared so much. So later I was sitting in a café on the waterfront, drinking a peach smoothie. Just my luck, Milo walked in. He was one of the reasons I was happy to leave.
"Hey Juuhachi, come here often?"
"As long as you're not here."
"You don't have to be so mean."
"What's the matter? Can't take it? Rejection to much for your puny mind to handle? Gee, that's too bad. Maybe it you weren't getting high all the time you'd have the sense not to talk to me in the first place."
His mouth was wide open, he looked like one of those cartoons, you know, when the jaw drops to the floor? At least he had shut up. Slowly he tired to compose himself, failed miserably and left. Thank God.
~*~
How do you guys like it so far? Good? Bad? Oh, and I just thought of something. I was going to have Vegeta be a raver, but would it be better if he was a tekker (he appears later in this story)? Feedback is always appreciated. Have a good day!
