Chapter Three: Who's Cute?
"Uh...should we go?" Krillin asked.
"Yes, Tanaka-sensei ill be even more mad if we don't!" Goku dragged his two partners into the aisle, and they slowly made their way to the stage. "Kakkarot, this is your fault, I told you we'd get in trouble!" Vegeta hissed as they received many glares from teachers.
"Now, students, please give a round of applause to the three who are in very deep kuso!" Tanaka-sensei said. There was no clapping. "I thought so," the headmaster began to pace around the three. "You will be punished, one way or another, boys, and I will be sure that it is a punishment you will never forget!" He pointed. "And girls," Tanaka-sensei turned to the females in the crowd. "You would be wise to steer clear of these three, if possible. I know you all like a funny boy, but these three have officially been labelled 'trouble.'" He advised.
"Hm...he's cute." Eighteen said to herself.
"What?! Who?! I though you said you didn't like boys!" Bulma squeaked, hearing her blonde friend say something quite out of character. Eighteen blushed, and looked away to the side a little. "Yeah, but...he's so cute!" She whispered back over the finish of Tanaka- sensei's speech, and her eyes followed one of the boys who walked off the stage with the other two. Bulma scratched her head. "Who? Show me!" She ordered. Eighteen giggled, seeing the one she watched so closely half trip over someone's extended foot in the aisle on the way back to his seat. "That one," she pointed cautiously. Bulma tried hard to follow the gaze of her friend, and see who exactly she was pointing at. Eighteen's finger drew Bulma's eyes to the three from the prank. "One of those three?" The blue-haired girl questioned.
"Yeah, guess which one?" Eighteen smiled.
"Uh...oh, I don't know, all their heads are turned, I can't see their faces." Bulma said, trying to see.
"Here, switch spots with me, you can see them all." Eighteen insisted. Bulma nodded and traded places with her friend, then peered thoughtfully at the three. "What's going on?" Chi-Chi asked, a new friend on one side of her. Eighteen pointed. "Bulma want's to know who I think is cute."
"Cute!? What?!"
"That's what she said. But he really is cute, y'know."
"Eighteen, you've lost it!"
"No, I just--" Eighteen was cut off abruptly by Bulma's questions.
"Oh, I bet it's that one, huh? You're right, he is cute! Very...dark and handsome, I'd say..." Bulma trailed off, watching one of the boys closely. Eighteen shrugged. "What? Dark?" Bulma pointed with her own fingers. "See? That one on the far side of the three...yeah, him! With the taller hair!" Bulma pointed to what was evidently the back of Vegeta's head.
"No, no, no, not him! The one on the other end!" Eighteen laughed. "You think I would like that Grim Reaper on the other side?"
"Grim Reaper?!"
"Well, look at him! He's got juvenille delinquent written all over him, dosen't he, Chi?" Eighteen nudged the brunette beside her. Chi-Chi, half-oblivious to the conversation at hand, rolled her eyes. "Who? Who's a punk?"
"That one!" Eighteen pointed.
"The one in the black hoodie?"
"Yeah!"
"Hm...yeah, he looks like one. If I ever had a son, he would definitely not be any influence on him." Chi-Chi crossed her arms, generally rejecting the thought of Vegeta becoming a friend of hers. Bulma tapped Eighteen's shoulder. "He does not look like a punk! And anyways, if you don't like him, and you say on the other end, that means you've got your eye on that small fry, eh?"
"Small fry?"
"Yeah, shorty over there!"
"Don't make fun of his height! He's cute!"
"Oh, Eighteen's got a crush on mystery short-man! Get a load of this, Chi, she's got a crush on the bald guy!"
"Bulma!" Eighteen jabbed her friend with an elbow. "It's not funny!"
"It is so!"
"Hey, guys, who's that?" Chi-Chi interrupted the start if a cat- fight. She pointed at one of the boys herself. "Now that's what I call cute!" She smiled. Bulma stopped. "You mean there's someone here you believe dosen't have a criminal record or would be a terrible influence on your son?"
"Heck, no, Bulma, I like their leader!" Chi-Chi blushed.
"What!? You mean the one Tanaka-sensei called 'Son Goku'?!" Eighteen fell off her chair, and Bulma scooted back to her original place. Eighteen sat up, and back on hr own seat. Chi-Chi nodded. "He looks so innocent, though! And look, he's laughing at something." She pointed out.
"Damn it, Chi, you blew our cover, they know we're looking at them!" Bulma smacked her friend's shoulder.
"Ah!" Eighteen hid her face. "Don't let him see me!"
--At the other side of the auditorium...--
"Hey, Krillin, what're those girls poinin' at us for? You think they're mad at us for playing that joke on Tanaka-sensei?" Goku asked, turning his head at the three pointing girls. They seemed to be the only ones not heeding Tanaka-sensei's advice of staying away from them.
"Girls? Looking at us? Yeah, it must be worse than we thought." Krillin nodded.
"What are you two babbling about?!" Vegeta asked under his breath.
"Those girls are looking at us funny!" Goku explained.
"They're what?!" Vegeta did a half turn in his seat and saw the girls. They were pink-faced and laughing to each other as they pointed. He smirked. "I bet they all have a crush on Kakkarot," he laughed to himself. Goku and Krillin faced the older boy. Goku turned his head to the side, not understanding. "Me? What girl would like me?"
"Only an insane on, that's for sure." Krillin nodded. "Hey, y'think I can have one, Goku, buddy ol' pal?"
"Sure, Krillin!" Goku said, still not knowing the concept of girls, and that he could only have one anyways. "What about you, Vegeta?" He nudged the boy on his other side.
"Girls are stupid." He crossed his arms, looking away. They might have been stupid, but he had to admit, one was really making him feel his face go red. Goku laughed. "Typical Vegeta," he mumbled. "Hey, Tien, what do you think?" He asked a boy one row behind them.
"I could use a girl in my life!" Tien laughed. They boy beside him, Choutzu, nodded. "He could use a few girls in his life, he's never been much of a man!"
"Hey, save one for me!" Yamcha butted in.
"Ah, forget it, I saw that red-head over there first!" Tien elbowed him in the stomach.
--At the other few chairs...--
"I dare you to blow a kiss to him, Eighteen!" Bulma laughed.
"You what?!"
"Blow him a kiss!"
"...Fine, but you'll buy me lunch if I do."
"Okay, just do it!"
"Alright! Don't rush me!" Eighteen searched for a lip chap in her purse. "Aha!" She pasted on a thin layer of something that smelled like cherries and made her lips shine slightly. "Wait till only he's looking!" Bulma said. "...Now!"
Eighteen put her hand over her mouth, and pulled it down as she playfully blew the kiss over to Krillin when nobody else in his area was looking. Krillin's eyes widened. He made hand signals to Eighteen, pointing at himself. "You mean me?"
Eighteen turned to Bulma, who was having her fun with the possible couple. "Nod and wave," she insisted.
"Uh..." Eighteen gave a small wave to the now bashful Krillin, and nodded as Bulma directed her to.
"Me?" Krillin was still unsure of himself.
"Yes, you!" Eighteen nodded. Bulma poked her. "Wink at him!"
"No, why don't you!" Eighteen hit Bulma on the head.
--At Krillin's chairs...--
"Oh, Kami..." Krillin gulped.
"What's wrong, Krillin?" Goku slapped his short friend on the back.
"That girl just waved at me and blew me a kiss!" Krillin said through frightened eyes.
"Wow, really? That means she like you!"
"You think she does?"
"Yeah, sure!" Goku said, patting his shoulder.
"What are you two talking about now?" Vegeta grew bored of Yamcha's tall tales of being with many other girls before. He decided to tune into the conversation of who he'd be spending the next month with in detention. Goku poked Krillin. "Someone's in love with Krillin!" He said.
"Oh?" Vegeta smirked. He could screw this up really bad, if he liked to.
"Yeah, her!" Goku pointed at Eighteen.
"I see..."
"What are you plotting against me?" Krillin asked.
"Nothing..." Vegeta laughed to himself. That would be funny, but just not proper. Not to mention shocking. He shuddered.
--At Bulma's seats...--
"They're talking about you, Eighteen!" Bulma said.
"Me? What about me?"
"Wait, I can read lips! Lessee..."
--Goku's seats...--
"You think any of the girls like Vegeta?" Goku went back to a subject the other boy would rather ignore. Vegeta 'hmphed' and slumped in his seat. "I don't care, I hate girls. They're stupid, I already told you."
"Aw, c'mon. Let's just say...you had to pick one of those girls over there. Which one would it be, and why?" Goku decided to make a game of Vegeta's negative attitude towards females.
"You mean out of those three?" Vegeta pointed.
"Yeah!"
"Well...uh...I guess..."
--Bulma's seats...--
"Oh Kami, Chi-Chi you'll never believe what I just heard--er...read!" Bulma shook her friend's side.
"What?!" Chi-Chi asked.
"That one on the end, the one I think is cute, thinks that you're prettier than me and Eighteen!"
"How do you know, damn it? Are you lying?"
"No, I just read their lips!" Bulma laughed at the thought of how Vegeta thought Chi-Chi was pretty, yet Chi-Chi thought Vegeta would be a bad influence on her son.
--Goku's seats...--
"Will they stop pointing at us already?!" Vegeta asked, disgusted.
"I think...they're pointing at you, Vegeta!" Goku said.
"What?!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------- -----
Okay, I know there was maybe a LITTLE hint of Chi-Chi/Vegeta in there, but it won't happen! This is just for...the build of the story! It'll get better once I don't have to explain the way things look and such, and I can just show what they're saying and stuff...Anyways, what did YOU think? I have no clue what to think of this. I think we could use a little bit of some fast-forwarding!
-- Next time: One week later... [this is not the chapter title]
Please review, I think this story isn't going to be very successful! :(
