Chapter 2: Organised Chaos

The teacher quickly told Yan to find a seat. Gohan smiled inwardly when he realised the only seat left was right next to him. 'At least I'll be able to keep an eye on him this way.' As Yan sat, Gohan turned to him.
"Hi, I'm Gohan"
"Why do you think I care about who you are?" Gohan didn't even give Yan's response second though, having gotten used to the customary arrogance of his peers and instead opened his mind, relaxing into a light meditation that would allow his to continue his role as the earths protector, a task that had been passed onto him since his fathers death.

As the day went on Gohan found his thoughts continually drifting to the enigma that this new character formed. In chemistry, the last lesson before lunch he once again found himself mulling over what little information he had managed to piece together so far. 'He seams to have a very pure ki but his attitude and appearance contradicted that fact. He's also in all my classes which means he's reasonably intelligent yet he also has an aura of strength around him.'
"SON GOHAN" The shrill high-pitched voice of this chemistry teacher pierced through his subconscious and brought him out of his thoughts. Most teachers had seamed to accept the fact that he was acing their classes with minimal effort so tended to leave him alone and ask other members of the class to make sure that the answer given was suitable for the level of work being studied. His chemistry teacher on the other hand hadn't seamed to catch on to this trend.
"What on earth are you doing? I have been asking you this question for 3 minutes and you haven't even responded. Now I will ask once more, what is the weight of a mole of water"(1)
"18grams" replied Gohan rapidly, a hint of annoyance in his usually calm voice, his frustration increasing due to the recently added ringing in his ears.
***
To avoid further pain from his sensitive ears Gohan had been forced to pay full attention for the rest of chemistry. This meant that by the time lunch came around 25 minutes later he was extremely frustrated and on the verge of losing his temper. Couple that with the fact that Videl had been called out to 4 separate incidents already that day, all of which he had been force to sit out due to his inability to escape from class meant that his frustration had reached planet-destroying levels. After eating his usual huge portion he moved towards a nearby tree and sat down under the dappled shade it provided and waited for the person who he usually spent lunch with. It didn't take her long to arrive, and from the looks she was giving people as she walked towards the tree he could see that she was probably in a worse mood than he was.
"Bad Day"
"What the hell do you think Son Gohan" Videl's response was accompanied by a look that Vegita would have been proud of.
"Wanna talk bout it." Despite an uneasy start, over the 3 weeks that Gohan had been at Orange Star High he and Videl had formed a surprisingly strong friendship. This was in a large part thanks to the fact that Gohan was one of the very few people in the school who didn't hero worship her father.
"No really much to say, just getting fed up of the complete incompetence of the police force, as they don't seam to be able to do anything on their own these days." With that out of her system Videl visibly calmed and proceeded to lie back against the tree and shut her eyes, relaxing in the heat of the midday sun.
The peace was not going to last however as unfortunately the schools resident gang had decided to go after Miss Satan this day. It was no secret that a week or so ago she had palmed a major role in the arrest of one of the cities major mob bosses. The leader of the group was a large muscular man called Toney Tribiany who just happened to be the nephew of the man she had helped arrest. He was a big guy; being about 6ft 2 with quite a muscular build, and add to that his long and unruly hair, created representation of what Gohan guesses his uncle would of looked like at the age of 17.
Gohan saw quite quickly what was going to happen, and quickly taking stock of the situation, he proceed to alert the dozing girl by his side to the possible danger.
" Hey Videl, though I'd wake you as it looks like someone want a word with you." Tony arrived next to the two just as Videl was sitting up. Without warning he threw a powerful punch at her face planning to break the girls nose. It would of probably worked, but unfortunately Tony hadn't counted on the intervention of a rather frustrated Demi-Sayjin. Gohan quite easily caught the thug's fist and proceeded to stand while gradually applying pressure until he heard the bones in Tony's hand start to click and dislocate.
"Get lost Tony, I'm not in the mood to deal with people like you at the moment so why don't you go take a hike." As Videl became fully aware of the situation she went to tell Gohan that she could take care of herself. She stopped herself however when she saw the look in his eyes. Gone was the usual tolerant and happy expression that he usually held, and in its place was the look of an experienced fighter. This caught her off guard momentarily before something inside her clicked and she realised where the nagging felling that she had heard his surname before came from.
'He's got the same surname as Son Goku who was the finalist in the 3 tournaments before my father won, could he be.' her thoughts were cut off as Tony replied to Gohan's comment with verbal assault.
"Well, what do we have here, a nerd thinking he can take me on, what do you say boys, why don't we teach this monkey what happens to those who mess with us." If Tony had known what affect those words would have on the usually passive person in front of him that he would of probably kept his mouth firmly shut. In his angered state, it didn't take much to set Gohan off, but once again being called a monkey by opponent brought back memories of Frieza that had been all but forgotten by Gohan. Videl visibly cringed as Gohan swiftly drove his knee deep into Tony's stomach before delivering a swift elbow to the back of the neck that caused the muscular boy to be introduced to the taste of soil as he connected face first with the ground. The rest of the gang visibly paled and quickly fled from the scene, eager to get away from the infuriated 'nerd'.
As they fled Gohan calmly walked over to Tony's prone form and proceeded to easily lift him up by the front of his shirt. Although Tony was considered reasonably tall, he was still a good 4 inches shorter than Gohan, meaning that when he was pulled face to face with Gohan his feet were dangling about an inch above the ground.
"A little tip Tony, make sure you know who your taking on before you start throwing around insults. And I would advise staying well clear of me or Miss Saturn for a fair while, as if you don't I will be quite happy to make sure you won't be walking for a nice long time." And with that Gohan dropped him in a heap on the floor and proceeded to grab his bag.
"Lets go Videl," his normal demeanour had returned in full force and Videl could find no trace of the calm calculated warrior who had been standing before her mere seconds ago.
"What the Hell happened there Gohan, you know I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself, I don't need you taking care of me." although secretly Videl was slightly flattered that Gohan had helped her, she had a reputation to keep up, and therefore felt obliged to at least make it seam that she was ungrateful for his help.
"Videl, in the position you were in if that first blow had hit you, you would have been out cold, and with the mood I'm in that would of pretty much guaranteed him being carried out of the school on a stretcher, and trust me when I say that I'm perfectly capable of doing that to someone of his strength." For that brief moment Videl could of sworn she was the look of the warrior return to his eyes for a split second while he spoke but again it disappeared without trace.
"But how did you get so strong?" at this question Gohan smiled slightly.
"I think you know that already Videl, How many people do you know with the surname Son." Just as he finished the bell for period 5 went, causing Videl to curse, she would have to finish her integrations of her mysterious friend later, as something was telling her that there was a lot more to him that he had let out, and that the fact he was the son of Son Goku was only the tip of an extremely large iceberg.
