A/N This is what happens when you get bored in class. You start another fic although I'm in the process of writing a couple more. *sigh* Oh well. Newayz…. I hope you like!
Chapter 1
The door banged open and a teenage boy came running in, skidding to a halt. Unfortunately, the custodians had just waxed the floor last night so his feet slid out from under him and he landed on his butt. He quickly scrambled to his feet, hoping nobody had noticed his terrible entrance. His wishes went unanswered though, as the whole class started to laugh. Ducking his head in embarrassment. He headed to his seat next to two blondes and a raven-haired girl. He finally looked up when he didn't get the usual admonishment from his teacher that he was expecting. He soon noticed that the teacher was not in the classroom. He breathed a sigh of relief. At least the teacher hadn't seen the ungraceful entrance.
"I give the entrance a –10." Said the blonde guy.
"Oh, leave poor Gohan-chan alone Sharpener!" Erasa said.
"Why should I?"
"Bec-"
"Will you two please shut up!" said Videl. Turning to face Gohan, she asked, "Where were you? Your lucky that the teacher is late, otherwise you would be in trouble. That's the 11th time you've been late this month!"
Gohan scratched the back of his head and laughed. "My human alarm clock decided to sleep in this morning and my regular alarm clock broke when I threw it into a wall last week, so I accidentally slept late."
"Good morning, class! I'm so sorry I'm late but I was busy putting together a fun project for you guys!"
The whole class groaned. Whenever a teacher makes a 'fun' project, it usually ends up in disaster.
"Me and all the other teachers are under the opinion that almost all of you have no job experience. So we pulled a few strings and worked up some internships for you guys." Mrs. Kurnate (the teacher) held up a hat. "In this hat are slips of paper. Each one of you will draw one and whatever is written on it is the place that you will be working at. There is no switching allowed. I will be writing down what each of pick, so don't even try it. Kit, you go first."
A short brunette walked forward and pulled her piece of paper from the hat. She looked at it and groaned. "Chucky Cheese? Aww man."
"Brett." (a/n is it just me or is this sounding a lot like Harry Potter? You know with the hat and everything?) It continued like this with various jobs until Mrs. Kurnate got to Erasa. "Erasa!"
Erasa grinned excitedly. She couldn't wait until she saw what her job was. She walked up to the front and pulled out her assignment. Her look turned to one of disgust and disbelief.
"The school CAFETERIA!?!?" she shrieked, causing a demi-saiyan to wince in pain. The whole class looked at Erasa with sympathy. The cafeteria was notorious for it's horrible food. Most kids just choose to bring their lunches to school. But the class was also relieved by the fact that they hadn't gotten that job. Erasa numbly went back to her seat, staring blankly in front of her when she sat down.
"Sharpener!" The jock slowly walked down the steps, wary after what had just happened. He hesitated before putting his hand in the hat. Then, getting a small part of his usual macho ness, he pulled out his assignment. He stared at it for a moment, his face unreadable. Then he started grinning like a mad idiot.
"I got a job at Hercules's gym!" The whole class broke out in whispers, disappointed that they had not been chosen to help the one and only.
"Quiet down everybody! We still have a few people to go! Ok, Videl!"
Videl walked forward, not letting anyone tell that she was worried about what job she will get. She put her hand in the hat confidently and pulled a piece of paper out. She looked at it and was immensely pleased. "Setting up Martial Arts Tournament." She said simply, smiling a little.
"Excellent! Another one of our more prestigious possibilities. I believe there is one more opening for that job." Mrs. Kurnate said. "Now! Gohan! Come forward, please."
Gohan groaned, thinking 'with my luck, I'll get the other Martial Art's tournament job.' He walked forward, pulled out his assignment, and sure enough, "Martial Arts Tournament." He said glumly.
Videl smirked. This was the perfect opportunity to find out more about Gohan.
Gohan saw her smirk from the front of the room and groaned again, knowing exactly what Videl was thinking. Not only was he working with Videl, he was working with her at the worst place possible if he wanted to keep his identity a secret. He sullenly walked to his eat and plopped down, thinking. By the time that he was done contemplating the good with the bad on this job, Mrs. Kurnate had finished assigning all of the jobs.
"Attention students! We have called everybody's parents and have gotten their permission. You will start today and we will provide your transportation. Every morning, you will come to school like normal, but when the bell rings, instead of coming here to the classroom, you will go to the bus area and board the bus which will take everyone to their workplaces. Now, everybody up and bring all of your materials with you. At the end of the work day, which is the same time that school ends, the bus will take you back to here will you will catch your normal rides home. We will know go board the bus, except for Erasa. Erasa, go up to the cafeteria and tell them that you were the one that received the helper cook job. Everybody else, follow me." The class stood up and walked out of the classroom, throwing Erasa sympathetic gazes as they did so.
Gohan winced. Erasa looked like she was about to cry. Even his saiyan taste buds refused to eat the cafeteria food and they usually weren't that picky as long as it came to food. But then again, he would gladly switch jobs with Erasa so that he could get away from Videl. Giving a resigned sigh, he hurried after his class with his mind full of things that could possibly go wrong.
A/N Short chappie I know, but it's a great place to stop. LOL. Please R&R!!
