Maybe Some Other Time

Chapter 4

Meeting You

Gohan looked at Videl like she was crazy. She was calling him to come sit with her? He wondered why.

"Come on Gohan, come sit with us." She repeated.

Okay so he wasn't crazy, she really had called him over. He didn't know what to do. He didn't want to offend her so he picked up his tray and sat beside her.

"Did you need something?"

"No."

"Then why did you call me over?"

"Well, you were sitting there all alone and it just wasn't necessary when you could sit with us."

Ereasa reached her hand past Videl toward Gohan. "Hi, my name is Ereasa. We didn't get to meet earlier because you got in trouble."

Gohan shook her hand. "Pleased to meet you."

Everyone waited a few moments for Sharpner to introduce himself and when he didn't Videl flicked a hand towards him. "The unusually quiet one over there is Sharpner."

Sharpner still didn't acknowledge Gohan.

"So Gohan," Ereasa said. "Tell us something about yourself."

"Okay, what do you want to know?"

"Why are you going to school here when you live in the Mt. Pazou area?" Videl asked.

"This was actually something my mom told me about last night. I've been home schooled my entire life but now my mom wants me to experience a real school. I'm going to this school because it's the closest one to were I live."

"You must have had to get up at three o'clock to make it here in time. That's rough."

"Yea but if I go to bed early enough it's no big deal."

"Do you have any siblings?"

"I have a little brother named Goten. He's seven."

"Aw, that so sweet. I wish I had a little sister."

"Why didn't your parents have more kids?"

"Because my mom died when I was thirteen."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it. That was a long time ago."

"Have you ever had a job?" Ereasa asked, coming back into the conversation.

"When I was sixteen I spent the summer working as a busboy for Applebee's."

"I've never had a job before but Videl has three right now." Videl looked at Ereasa suspiciously.

"She's been in this band that plays at the Déjà vu for about two years. She just started working as a model. And her third job--."

Videl placed her hand over Ereasa's mouth and said, "--is none of Gohan's business."

Ereasa nodded through Videl's hand. Gohan wondered what that was all about.

"So what's your band called?" Gohan asked.

"Dyskrasia." She said with a note of pride.

"Wow, that's a pretty cool name. How did you think that up?"

"I just thought it sounded cool."

"How did you get to be a model?"

"Well, right when school started this agency came to check out the students. They only needed one boy and one girl. They picked me for the girl but they didn't find a suitable guy. You should have come to school sooner, I'm sure they would have picked you."

"I told you Videl, that lady was gonna call me back." Sharpner said.

"Oh shut up Sharpner. You could never have what it takes to be a model."

Videl looked at her watch. "The bell is about to ring. We'd better get going. What classes do you have next Gohan?"

"I've got Trigonometry and then P.E."

"That's cool. The rest of us have P.E. last period too. So I guess we'll see you then."

They all got up to put away their trays. "Bye Gohan." Ereasa said.

"Bye." Gohan said as he watched them leave.

**Later in P.E. class**

Boys and girls P.E. was together. Boys on one side and the girls on the other side. With three large community showers in the middle that never got used.

Videl and Ereasa had arrived early and were already in their uniforms. They really didn't wear uniforms but instead, just clothes that are appropriate for a P.E. class. Both of them were wearing a T-shirt and biker shorts.

Videl finished putting her clothes in her locker and glanced over her shoulder at the boy's side. She just managed to catch Gohan in the process of taking off his shirt. She kept her eyes on him because she wanted to see how built he was. She could already tell he had muscles because she could see some of his shape beneath his clothes.

He pulled the shirt over his head only to reveal the muscle shirt underneath. She was able to see that he was built more than she thought but she was still blocked from the rest of his body.

"What a tease." She said under her breath.

Ereasa looked over from putting her clothes in her locker. "What? Did you say something?"

"I was just calling Gohan a tease for wearing a muscle shirt."

Ereasa leaned over to see around the showers and noticed what Videl was talking about. "Oh, I see what you mean."

After everyone was finished changing the teacher came in and told them to go out onto the field.

As they were walking out onto the field Gohan caught up to Videl and walked beside her.

"Hey Videl."

"Hi."

"What are we doing?"

"We're gonna play baseball."

Videl noticed the change in the way Gohan was walking.

"Do you know how to play baseball Gohan?"

"No, but I've read a few books about it."

"Well don't worry about it. You can be on my team and I'll help you out."

"Ok, thanks."

They reached the baseball field and Sharpner and Videl were picked to be the captains. Videl kept her word and picked Gohan and Ereasa as the first people on her team.

Videl's team had to be in the outfield first and since she wasn't sure about what Gohan would be able to do she just put him in the outfield. Videl was pitcher. The game was going smoothly enough. Most of the people couldn't play baseball very well but Videl was a damn good pitcher.

They only had one out and a person on second when Sharpner came up to bat. He was one of the few people who could play. Videl threw the best pitch she could but he hit it like it was nothing.

She saw it sail way over everybody's head. It was a grand slam for sure, right over right field. Sharpner was already doing his victory walk. She turned her head back towards home plate. There was no point in watching it.

She was surprised when she heard the thump of a baseball hitting a glove. Surprised she turned to see who had caught the ball. She wasn't at all prepared for what she saw.

It was Gohan who had caught the ball but the thing was that he was floating at least 50 feet in the air. Everyone stood still staring up at Gohan in complete shock. The person who had been on second was now stopped halfway between third and home. Gohan saw the opportunity to get the third out. So he threw the ball home.

The ball flew faster than Videl could even see. One moment it was in his hand and the next the catcher was skidding across the ground to land right on home to get the third out.

Oblivious to the shock around him, Gohan lowered to the ground and began to jog in when he realized everyone was looking at him. Videl just didn't get it. She had just seen the most incredible thing in her life and he didn't seem to think it was a big deal.

Eventually everyone began to realize that maybe they were seeing things and maybe Gohan hadn't been 50 feet in the air. Dismissing it as a mere trick of the light, everyone began to jog in to take their bat.

Sharpner was the pitcher for the other team and Videl was the first to bat. He threw her a curve ball but she was still able to hit it. She managed to get to second base. Next up was Ereasa, who surprised a few people by not only hitting the ball, but also by sliding face first into the dirt to get to second base, while Videl ran home.

Gohan was the next to bat. Videl could tell by his perfect stance that he really must have paid attention to those books he read. Sharpner was eager to embarrass Gohan so he threw the best pitch he could. Gohan didn't just hit the ball, he also shattered the wooden bat into a million little fragments as the ball flew farther than the eye could see.

Everyone just stood there not sure what to do. The teacher picked up what was left of the bat and gave it a critical inspection. He concluded that the bat must have been so old and worn that it just broke and he was sure that the ball hadn't traveled as far as they all thought.

"Go on kid, take your base." The teacher said as he went to get another bat.

The rest of the game was uneventful. Everyone sucked so bad that it was three up three down almost every time so Gohan never had to bat again.

Videl had her back pressed against the wall next to the door to the locker room. Sharpner had already left and she was just waiting for Ereasa and Gohan. Soon Ereasa came out.

"Hey girl, thanks for waiting on me."

"No problem. What took you so long?"

"My bra strap got tangled in my shirt."

"Oh, ok."

"Come on let's go."

"You go on and go home. I'm gonna wait on Gohan."

"Why?"

"I'm gonna get him to give me a ride home. And while we're riding I'm gonna ask him to come see me sing this Friday."

"Oh, ok. Well then I'll call you later tonight. See ya."

"Alright, bye."

Videl stood there waiting for several minutes. She wondered what could be taking him so long. She'd already had a few other students offer her a ride but she wanted to wait on him. She knew there wasn't a back door to the locker room so he had to still be in there.

She decided that she would go in and get him. As she rounded the corner and she heard what sounded like running water. Could Gohan be taking a shower? She'd never heard of anyone of anyone using those showers before.

She rounded the corner and saw that the locker room door was open. Peeking around the corner she was able to get a glimpse of him. All she could see was above his shoulders because there were walls around the showers. He was standing there with his eyes closed as the water ran down him.

She desperately wanted to try and get a glimpse of him but she didn't want him to catch her. Maybe if she turned just right she would see a little more skin. She started to crouch down to sneak to the side were the wall was a little lower. This is a stupid idea, she repeated over and over in her head.

He had his back to her so she was able to sneak to the side without him seeing her. Now she had a clear view of his upper back, which she found to be wonderfully toned. 'Now' she thought 'just turn around'. As if bidden by her thoughts, he turned around but his eyes still closed. She now had a perfect view of his toned pecs.

Moments later Gohan opened his eyes. He thought he felt someone looking at him. He looked around dumbfounded but Videl was already long gone.

A few minutes later Gohan came out wearing the same sweat pants and sweat shirt he had worn for P.E. As he walked out he was still drying his hair with the towel wrapped around his shoulders. He was surprised to see Videl standing there.

"Oh hey. What are you doing here?"

"Waiting on you."

"Waiting on me? Why were you waiting on me?"

"Because I wanted to see if I could get a ride home with you so we could talk."

"Ok, I don't see why not. Where do you live?"

"179 Hercule dr."

"Ok let's just get out to the parking lot and we'll go."

Videl followed Gohan out into the parking lot to see that almost all the cars were gone. The only cars that remained were teachers who stayed after school.

She didn't see Gohan's car anywhere but then he reached into his pocket and pulled out a little black capsule box. He quickly picked one and threw it into the lot.

She was surprised when a red convertible mustang materialized out of the smoke.

"Wow. Nice car."

"It was gift from Bulma on my sixteenth birthday."

"Bulma who?"

"Briefs."

"Oh my God! You know the Briefs?!"

"Yea ever since I was a little kid she's been friends with my dad."

"That's really cool."

Then they both got in the car and drove away.

After a few minutes of small talk, Videl decided to cut to the chase.

"Gohan, why don't you come see me sing at the Déjà vu this Friday."

"Déjà vu is a bar right?"

"Yeah."

"Well I don't think my mom would let me go to a bar."

"No it's legal. They only have non-alcoholic beverages. It's a special bar for eighteen and up."

"Well, what if someone of legal drinking age wanted a beer?"

"Then they would just a flash a driver's license and get a beer."

"Ok. I'm sure my mom would let me go if they wouldn't let me drink."

"Good. You can pick me up at eight."

"What? why do I have to pick you up?"

"Because unless I'm mistaken then you wouldn't know what to do when you got to the bar. And besides you don't know the way."

"I guess you're right. But why can't you just give me the directions."

"It's just too complicated to follow. I only know the way by landmarks."

"Okay, then I'll be there at eight. What should I wear?"

"Do you have any leather?"

"I have a leather jacket."

"Good wear that."

They were a few blocks from Videl's house when she suddenly told him to stop and pull over.

"Just let me out here."

"Why?"

"Because I have a few things to do before I get home."

She got out of the car and was about to close the door when a thought hit him.

"Hey wait!" She looked at him expectantly.

"What should I do when I get to your house?"

"Well there will be a front gate. All you have to do is tell them why you're there and they will let you in. Then just come inside and ask somebody where I am and come get me."

"Okay, well I'll see you tomorrow."

"Alright, bye Gohan."

"Bye." He said as he watched her walk away.

**Gohan's POV**

Gohan sighed loudly as he threw his book bag onto the table. He practically ran to the fridge. He was STARVING. He threw open the door and began stuffing the food in his mouth by the hand full. So not only does he have to get up at the crack of dawn but he also has to starve half to death too? Life is too cruel to him.
