MG here. Sorry bout' the really long wait. School endin' and everything. Like ta send a special thanks ta Elizabeth Le Franc for emailing and asking when I'd update (thank you Jessica) . Thanks for the reviews and enjoy the chapter.

I am Son Gohan

Gohan swore silently. That same girl from the bank…the one that had made him feel…warm and fuzzy. After seven years of building a hard emotional shell around himself, this girl could crack it by just looking at him. He didn't even know her name! He gave himself a mental shake and turned to the annoying man that was supposed to be teaching him.

"What's your name, son?"

Gohan ignored him," Where do I sit?"

The old man scanned the classroom," You can sit next to Videl." He picked his seating chart up off his desk to mark the place where the new student would sit. " Videl would you please raise your hand?"

Gohan glanced at the girl who had raised her hand. He nearly froze. Same girl. Damnit! He began to make his way up the stairs to where the girl sat.

The teachers voice called after him," I still need your name." Gohan glanced back," For the seating chart." He said, waiving the item around.

Gohan silenced the old man with a glare. He had been in the class for less than five minutes and he already wanted out.

The teacher stayed silent. Usually it was the student who wanted to stay on his good side, not the other way around. But when a student enters your classroom by obliterating your door, it's a good idea to not make him very angry.

Gohan took his place next to that girl…Videl…but didn't bother to open his text book or anything. He had to work hard to keep himself from glancing at her, but he managed. He could feel her gaze on him, but he tried to ignore it. Seven years on your own does wonders for ones patience, but when someone stares at you for a solid 30 minutes (someone's a little obsessed) your patience tends to run thin.

Videl wasn't even aware that she had been staring at the new kid for half an hour. She had been trying to study the boy out of the corner of her eye, desperate to find out more about him. She was completely shocked when he spoke to her, in a cold, emotionless voice," Can I help you with something?" He still wasn't looking at her, just staring at the front of the class without any expression.

She tried to play dumb," What?" 'Smooth Videl'.

To her surprise, he chuckled softly," Do you normally stare at someone for half an hour without wanting something."

Videl just gaped at him. She glanced up at the clock and realized that she had indeed been 'studying' him for 30 minutes. She began to stutter out an apology," I-I'm s-sorry." After seeing him blow a mans head off and shatter a door she was more than a little intimidated.

"Don't." Videl just stared at him in confusion. Then he finally turned to look at her, and she found herself staring into obsidian black eyes that held an unfathomable amount of concealed pain," Save your sorrow for someone who needs it." But you do need it. Videl was startled at her own thoughts, she didn't know what he'd been through, but she felt as though it was her job to comfort him. She didn't understand why she had made this decision and resorted to talk to herself to figure it out. Of course he needs someone to be sorry for him. He just incinerated some guys head.

A new voice butted in,' You don't know what he did before he came here. Maybe he blows peoples heads off all the time.

' There's no way he could go around killing people and not go insane.'

' You don't know that. Did he look like he was insane when he killed that man. Did he look sorry. You don't even know this guys name.'

Videl was distracted by a deep chuckle coming from next to her. She glanced over and saw that the new guy was sitting there, making no attempt to hide his amusement. " And what are you laughing at!" Oops. Videl realized too late that she had screamed that out to the class. The teacher (who will remain unnamed) looked very agitated at the interruption.

"Is there something you two would like to share with the rest of the class?"

Videl blushed and sat down, but Gohan gave the teacher a death glare until he turned away. He waited nearly a minute before speaking again," I find it amusing that you like to make no attempt to hide the fact that you are having a conversation with yourself." Videl was about to speak when he started again," About me."

Videl's mouth dropped," H-How do you know what I'm thinking about?"

"The variations in your expression tells me everything. And you were staring at me again." Videl blushed again. She really needed to get better at that." Don't be embarrassed, Videl." Videl jumped. He had actually said her name," Its natural that you should wonder about me. I killed a man and blew the class room door apart. You have to wonder about my sanity. You think about all these things without even knowing my name." He glanced over at her and smirked when he saw her mouth was nearly touching the desk. " Maybe when you know my name, you'll understand."

The bell rang and before she could say a word, the new guy was gone. She glanced around the room and saw no sign of him. Well, if you don't count the pieces of the door that still littered the front of the class. She allowed herself a small grin. She'd figure this new guy out. She was heading toward the door when Erasa caught up to her. " Looks like you and the new guy get along pretty well. You are so lucky. He is such a hotty!" She squealed," If things don't work out between you guys, can I have him. Please!

Videl just stared at her friend. She shook her head. She wasn't really up to explaining everything to her ditzy friend. She continued on to her homeroom, listening to her friend ramble on about all the things she was gonna do this weekend. Videl gave a sigh of relief when she reached her homeroom and had to depart from her still jabbering friend. Sometimes she wondered if Erasa still thought she was there. She snickered. It would be hilarious to see Erasa walking around school talking to herself. She made her way to her usual seat at the back of the class. She liked to stay as far away from everyone else as possible. She stopped suddenly. It appeared that the new kid didn't like people either. She hadn't noticed as she walked in but he was now occupying the spot in which she normally sat.

She made a decision and continued on to the back of the room. She dropped into the seat next to him. She wasn't gonna let this guy intimidate her. She said she was gonna figure this guy out and that's what she was gonna do. She was outraged to find that this guy was laughing at her. Again! She turned on him," Listen buddy! You better stop laughing right now or I'll-"

"Or you'll what, Videl?" Gohan interrupted," Drag me out into the parking lot and kick my ass?"

"Do you know who I am?! My father is the World Champion so you'd better show some respect!"

Gohan turned to her and snarled," At least I don't have to hide behind my fathers accomplishments. I have my own."

Videl smirked. She was enjoying getting this guy so worked up," Oh really? What have you done hotshot! If you've got so many accomplishments then why don't I know your name."

Gohan's face closed," Everybody on this planet knows my name and the things I've done."

"And what would your name be?"

Gohan looked her up and down and then nodded. She was a fighter. She defiantly was a feisty one. He smirked. He respected her for that. Well, he respected her enough to give her an answer," My name is Son Gohan."

Videl nearly fainted. She probably would have fallen if it hadn't been for Gohan reaching out a hand to steady her. Once she regained her composure she blushed fiercely. She had just made a fool of herself in front of THE Son Gohan. " Um…Thanks."

Gohan snorted and looked away. He was about to reply with some smartass remark when," I'm sorry about your father."

The mere mention of his father made Gohan stiffen in rage. He rounded on Videl," You have no idea what your talking about!"

" Hey! Your not the only person who's lost a parent. My mother died in a car accident when I was younger so I understand a lot better than you think!" Gohan gave her his best death glare and Videl could feel herself begin to shake. She had defiantly gone to far. This boy had to watch his father die. She'd gotten the news broken to her by her dad. " I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry."

Gohan didn't look away," You still don't understand. I hate my father."

The bell rang and Gohan once again vanished before Videl could blink. He left an incredibly confused Videl in his wake. Did she hear correctly. He hates his own father? Videl remembered back to the day of the Cell Games.

***Flashback***

" I'm sorry for the inconvenience folks, but our one and only camera was put out of commission. But we have managed to get our audio working so we are now going to try and get an interview with our champion, the small boy who was fighting Cell. In an incredible display of skill and power, our young hero defeated the monster Cell. Ahh yes. Sir. Could I have a word."

A new voice came in. It was a cold voice that was obviously tired," Get the hell away from me."

The reporter's nervous voice came back," Umm… I'd like to ask you a few questions on your defeat of Cell. What were you thinking while you were fighting? Have you been in high pressure situations before?"

Another gruff voice broke in," Give the boy a break. He just lost his father and he doesn't need you in his face asking him about it." the new voice snarled.

This time the reporter's voice had a hint of fear in it," Can you at least tell us your name?"

The gruff voice came back," The only thing you need to know is that his name is Gohan and he is an Elite Saiyan Warrior."

The boy's voice came back," The first person that tries to find me will die. That's your only warning."

***End Flashback***

Videl shook her head. This was so confusing! The gruff voice had told the reporter to back off the boy because his father had died. But if Gohan hated his father, then why should he be sad? Videl sighed. She had known Son Gohan for just over 102 minutes and was a bigger mystery to her than any criminal.

But then again, she wouldn't expect any less from the great Son Gohan.

Sorry about the length. And the wait. And also to Jessica for saying I'd have it out by the weekend. *Shrugs* Shit happens. Oh yeah!

Read the fic Hybrid Theory. Its kinda short right now but the updates should start to pick up.

Later everybody!
