A/N: alright I'm back. You people are too kind. This will probably the quickest update I've ever done. I've had about three people tell me I'm creative. I appreciate that. And I actually had a few questions about chp. 2. Okay I realize that I had his uniform wrong. His vest is black not orange. From now on It's black, ok? And Goku is still alive because I just changed around the time his was brought back. He's been back for a few months. And Gohan doesn't train, per say. Occasionally he brings himself to do a few pushups and he spars with Goku.

Maybe Some Other Time Chapter 3 School Days

Gohan pulled into a parking space that he assumed was the student parking lot. He took off his sunglasses. It turned out that the sunglasses had been unnecessary, because the sun had been behind him.

He got out of his car and capsized it and put it back in his capsule box. The parking lot was immense with upcapsized cars. He could only imagine how many more cars there were that were capsized.

His eyes followed the long concrete pathway up to the school. It wasn't exactly what he expected. It was ugly. But he guessed that he should have known that if the uniform was as ugly as it was then it probably had a school to match.

He started walking down that long pathway to the school. As he neared the school got bigger and bigger. He got this sinking feeling in his stomach. School. A territory he hadn't conquered. Hadn't even experienced. He reminded himself that no matter what these peoples opinions didn't matter.

What was he so nervous about? Why would the other students not like him? He didn't think there was anything that someone could make fun of him about. But he knew from all the stories he'd read that other people could see things about yourself that you never knew was there.

As he drew closer to the school he heard the bell ring. That was probably in his favor since he didn't want to be in a hallway crowded with people he didn't know.

He entered the school and went through another door that had the label 'main office' above the door. He approached the woman behind the desk, who looked up as he approached.

"Yes, may I help you?"

"Hi, my name is Gohan Son. This is my first day of school, so I'm looking for my schedule."

"Oh well, you need to go to the guidance office to get it."

"Ok, can you tell me how to get there?"

"First you need to leave this office, then go to the main hallway which is right behind the office. Go up the stairs you see on the left and enter the room that says 'Guidance Office'."

"Thank you very much."

He followed the woman's directions without any trouble and entered the guidance office. He approached the woman here and repeated his previous line.

"Hi, my name is Gohan Son. This is my first day of school, so I'm looking for my schedule."

"Ok, Gohan Son you said?"

"That's right."

She begin typing on the computer in front of her. After a few seconds she seemed satisfied and looked up at him with a smile.

"Welcome to Orange Star High Gohan Son." She said as she handed him his schedule.

"um,…thanks."

"Have fun on your first day!" she said as he left the office.

He sighed and looked down at his schedule. It was easy enough to understand. There was a second piece of paper that he hadn't notice at first. He skimmed over it. It was just his personal information that he was supposed to give to his teacher.

His first period class was English with Mr. Mushtock in room 212. Now all he needed to do was find out where room 212 was. He looked back at his schedule and notice there were several 300s and a couple of 100s.

Since the school was three stories he assumed that the first letter was the floor the class was on. After a little searching and getting lost a couple of times, he stood in front of the door to room 212. He checked his schedule one more time before he knocked and entered the classroom.

*Videl's POV*

Videl sat in her assigned seat in class. In the fifth row with the empty seat to the left of her. Her friend Ereasa was too her right and a guy friend who had a crush on Videl to Ereasa's right.

She knew Sharpner liked her, what with the way he was always dropping hints about going out and how sometimes he got kind of touchy. She hated English class, which was why she wasn't paying attention to the teacher but instead making a very poor sketch of him on her paper. It wasn't a very flattering picture. His head was too big and his mouth was wide open as he blurted out useless nonsense.

She heard someone knock on the door and then enter without waiting for a reply. She didn't bother to look up because it was probably just a student delivering a message to Mr. Mushtock.

Suddenly Ereasa took a firm grip of her upper arm.

"Oh my God Videl….look at the total hottie that just walked into class."

"You know I don't care about that sort of thing."

"Yes normally, but Videl he's so hot."

So as not to hurt Ereasa's feelings she glanced up at the boy who had entered class and was now approaching the teacher. After her glance her eyes back down to her drawing but as his looks sank in her enter head popped up to get a better look.

"Wow, you were right Ereasa."

Ereasa gave her a playful slap on the arm.

"Told you, and you say I don't know how to pick'em."

"Ok ok I consent defeat."

Just then the teacher finished reading the new kid's bio he looked up and snapped his fingers to get everyone's attention.

"Quiet now class. Ok we have a new student today. His name is Gohan Son. Alright Gohan you can take your seat…." He said as he looked around for an empty seat to put Gohan.

"Oh my God Videl! Your's is the only empty seat in the whole class! Score one for Videl!"

"Ereasa would you shut up? It's not like I care."

"Oh yeah, still thinking you don't need no man? It's just sad."

This entire time Gohan had been looking around for a seat.

*Gohan's POV*

He finally spotted what appeared to be the only empty seat in the entire classroom. From what he could tell at this distance, there was a pretty, dark-haired girl in the seat next to it but he really couldn't tell much about her.

He started walking up the steps slowly. As he took his seat it seemed as if the girl next to him was refusing to look at him.

He looked over at the drawing she seemed so absorbed in. It appeared to be a pretty crappy sketch of Mr. Mushtock. Since she didn't seem to want to initiate a conversation with him he pulled out his pencil and added a few lines to her sketch, which greatly improved the overall appearance of the picture.

Finally she lifted her head to smile at him and his breath caught in his throat. She was just as pretty as he had thought. Her dark hair had several purple streaks and she had several piercings. It all seemed to clash with the uniform she was wearing but she was still beautiful nonetheless.

She stuck out her hand and he shook it.

"Hi, my name is Videl."

"Gohan." He said in reply.

"Well it's nice to meet you Gohan."

"Same here."

"So where are you from?" She asked.

"439 Mt. Pazou area."

Videl's jaw dropped.

"You have to be kidding me."

"um…no."

"But it's like a five hour drive."

"What can I say? I'm really dedicated to my education." He said with an embarrassed grin. He wished he could have thought up something better than that.

"Gohan Son!" Mr. Mushtock shouted.

Gohan's head popped up to the teacher calling his name.

"Since you and miss Videl seem to enjoy talking so much, you two can lead us in our reading today."

**later at lunch**

Gohan sat down with his tray of food. He was sitting all alone. He had felt too awkward to just sit with someone he didn't know so here he was alone at the edge of the table.

He frowned done at his food. It was so little. How was something like this supposed to satisfy a saiyan appetite? He would just have to make do until he got home because it might be weird to open all the food he had in his capsules. It would freak out the other students.

*videl's POV*

"It's so sad, Ereasa. He's sitting all alone."

"The loser ain't got no friends." Sharpner said.

Ereasa turned and punched him on the shoulder and told him to shut-up.

"He's too cute to be sitting all alone." Videl said.

"Well why don't you invite him over?" Ereasa asked.

"I don't know, he probably wouldn't want to."

"Why would he not want to? Look at him, he's sitting there all alone. He's probably desperate for friends so why can't they be us?"

"My God, you said so sympathetic it's pitiful. Fine I'll call him over. Speaking of which, why do I have to be the one to invite him over?"

"Because He never met us because right when he met you, ya'll got in trouble so I didn't get to met him."

"Fine I'll do it. Hey Gohan!" she shouted and waved her hand slowly above her head. His head popped up when he heard his name and looked around in confusion at first but then saw that it was her calling him.

Once she had his attention she said, "Why don't you come join us?"

A/N: yay! Another chapter out of the way. It was pretty fun actually cuz I really enjoyed writing this one. I thought maybe I should give you some details about gohan and videl. Gohan is still kinda shy and modest but not nearly as much as normal. I'm actually modeling him after myself and some of my own personal experiences. Do you all know what Martina Macbride looks like? Well that's how I envision Videl. Except her hair is shorter. She's slightly gothic and she has one piercing in her left ear and three in her right. One of them is in the lobe. She also has a nose stud and her tongue is pierced. She also has purple streaks in her hair. As this story continues it will become increasingly more obviously that videl loves the color purple.
