"…I just don't like to hang out at that one single spot the whole break. That's all" Bulma and Krillin were walking alongside one another talking about Bulma's disgust over the clique's chosen break spot. The male nodded understandingly
"You know? You can always talk with me or Goku. You don't have to be IN there really" he said. Bulma frowned at him as the pair walked to the exact same spot they were talking about
"Goku is always making out with his girlfriend" she pointed out. Krillin chuckled nervously
"Right" he scratched the back of his head never seeing that one coming "in that case you can talk to me. Have you met Raditz or Yamucha?" he asked. Bulma thought for a second
"I…haven't heard of them. Why? Are they good guys?" she asked curious. Krillin nodded
"They are. They're the only ones without girlfriends too" he said. Bulma raised a brow
"What about you?" she teased "I haven't seen your girlfriend yet" she said. Krillin's cheeks turned pink as he looked to the ground
"Uh…well…I've been talking to 18 for a while" he said timidly "I think we're kind of getting back together" he said as if it was his best kept secret. Of course the whole school knew about their everlasting on-and-off relationship. 18 was one of the most popular girls in school. People gossiped about her life more than anybody else's
"That's cool. I bet it's good to have her to talk to. I, instead, got stuck with that Neanderthal ape in all of my classes that for some reason won't stop calling me 'woman'" she breathed out. Krillin shook his head
"Well there's no surprise there. That's how he calls ever girl" he pointed out. Bulma rolled her eyes
"It's so disrespectful. I have a name you know? It's not woman" she protested
"Weird" Krillin furrowed his brows "girls literally melt when he calls them that" he said. She frowned
"Well it's annoying. It bothers me and the brainless asshole refuses to understand it" her blood began to boil again just when she had gotten over it. Krillin chuckled nervously
"You've got quite a temper" he quickly recognized. Bulma grinned as they became closer to their group of 'friends'
"And so everyone tells me. Guess I can stop wondering why now" she said generating a chuckle from him again. She chuckled along with him. Chichi and 18 made their way through the crowd before the pair had a chance to reach their final destination. They stopped right in front of them. Krillin and 18 locked eyes for a second. He then excused himself and moved along to be with his friends which left Bulma all by herself. Bulma stared at the women in front of her
"Hey B!" Chichi greeted "this is my friend 18" she grabbed her friend's hand. 18 and Bulma eyed each other warily
"18 has been my best friend since kinder garden graduation at Madison Square" she informed excited. Immediately the scene changed as both girls now wore a happy frame on their faces
"Nice to meet you" 18 flicked her hair to the sides letting it fall freely down her face as she smiled. Bulma slid a strand of her hair behind her ear the soft layers falling on her forehead delicately as she smiled back
"Nice to meet you too. Chichi's said great things about you!" Bulma said nicely
"She has, has she?" 18 glared at Chichi then rolled her eyes "she's always telling new people about me. How do you like the school so far?" she asked. Bulma shrugged her shoulders feeling indifferent really
"It's been kind of …well…different I guess-"
"Where'd you move from?" 18 cut her off. Bulma hid her angriness. She hated being cut off. It seemed like a habit everyone had gotten used to in this particular crowd. What was wrong with these people!
"I just moved from Miami" she said. Chichi and 18 exchanged looks then turned back to her
"That's a really cool place! Why'd you move?" 18 asked
"My dad is expanding the Corporation around the nation. We're probably going to live here a couple more years before having to move again. Go somewhere up north" she said. 18 and Chichi both nodded at the same time. A guy came from behind Bulma all of the sudden embracing a lazy arm around her neck. Chichi and 18 smiled as opposed to Bulma who immediately became defensive
"Hey girls" the guy greeted. The girls shook their heads together
"Hey Yamucha" said Chichi "looking… drunk today" she and 18 broke into girlish giggles. Yamucha cleared his throat stumbling around clumsily using Bulma as a stand
"I'm not drunk…just a tad bit" he hiccupped "dizzy" he signaled Bulma "this woman right here just knocked the senses out of me" he spoke incoherently. The twosome rolled their eyes as Bulma struggled to break loose. He turned his face to her and smiled
"What's your name, babe?" he asked. Bulma smiled at him hypocritically then leaned into his ear and whispered
"Bulma" making him widen and narrow his eyes unintelligibly. He smiled at her
"Bulma, huh? You're hot Bulma. Has anyone ever told you that?" he asked. Bulma rolled her eyes having heard enough. The blue haired woman slid off his side making him fall all the way to the floor. The guys (close by) happened to watch the incident from beginning to end. The corner roared with laughter as soon as they heard Yamucha's body go down with a 'thud.' Some signaled his position on the floor while some made fun of his drunken state. Bulma looked down at him
"Three things I need to remind you before you even consider a second approach: number one my name is Bulma. NOT babe" she cleared out. The laughter grew louder.
"Number two unless I wear a big damn sign that says 'I'm an easy fuck' on my forehead I am strictly OFF YOUR MARKET" she spoke loud and clear
"And number three I don't think I need to remind you just how out of your league I am. If you ever do think about having me between your dirty balls just remember: not. In a million. Years. Next time just keep it in your pouch. You'd save us both an embarrassing situation as well as the mockery you have just become for the whole school" she stated finally. The people, who by now had formed a circle around the scene, went wild with the applauses, cheers and howls. Bulma found her way through the crowd and finally got out of there. Little did she know…the guy with the sexy lips was watching amused from afar. Yamucha groaned on the ground a senseless smirk forming on his lips
"She wants me" he said laughter covering the place again. Chichi and 18 stared at one another
"Fuck yeah she's rich" the blondie exclaimed. Chichi giggled
"She's rich all right!" the black haired woman exclaimed as well. 18 squealed
"We've got a major project going on here!" they giggled. The bell rang to signal the start of the second period…
2nd Period - English
"Yamucha got beat pretty bad. That girl has an attitude going on" Goku said as he and Krillin entered their English classroom. Krillin sighed
"Well it's his fault anyway. If he didn't take the 'Don Juan' standards to the extremes maybe he'd get along better with girls" Krillin concluded as both guys reached the seats at the back of the classroom. Goku shrugged his shoulders
"Guess you're right. Are you going to Loco's today after school?" he asked changing the subject. Krillin nodded
"Yeah. I want to see her again. Feels like forever ago since the last time I saw her-"
"You saw 18 last night man" informed Goku cutting him off. Krillin frowned at him
"So what? I haven't seen her since then" he said. Goku shook his head giving up the intent of figuring out what Krillin meant by that. The teacher made his entrance
"Students I need you to be quiet" he demanded everyone ignoring the man as if he wasn't ever there. The male cleared his throat
"Students be quiet please" he requested again no one listening to what he had said. He breathed out
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU MORONS! ARE YOU DEAF!" he screamed out. The whole class was paying attention now even Goku and Krillin. The teacher cleared his throat again
"Very well now today we're talking about Ernest Hemingway's 'The Old Man and The Sea'" he said looking at the thick book. He then threw the book in the trash can
"But I don't give a fuck about Ernest and his shitty sea. We should be learning to learn. We should be getting ready for what's out there. You guys!" the teacher spoke loud and louder "what is it you think will help you further develop your learning skills?" he asked
"Reproduce" a loud voice from the back of the classroom screamed out. The room fell into light giggles. The teacher smirked
"Well yes but other than that. What would you like your class to be like?" he asked. The students exchanged puzzled looks. The teacher sat on his desk
"You better write this down. That's the homework. Class dismissed" with all his patience the teacher grabbed his briefcase and headed out the classroom
"Cool…" Krillin half smiled both him and Goku still confused about the whole thing.
2nd Period - Econ
"Bulma that was amazing!" Chichi took a seat in front of Bulma's. Bulma kept her head down focused on writing stuff on her agenda. She was still frowning which made Chichi kind of concerned. She furrowed her brows doubtful
"B, are you ok?" Chichi asked
"Uh-huh" Bulma answered still on her agenda like a typing robot. Chichi observed for a moment then decided to try again
"Are you sure you're-"
"I'm fine" Bulma looked up "just a bit stressed out that's all" she lied. Chichi reached out resting her hand on her shoulder supportively
"It's ok honey. No one said anything" she said but Bulma was back in her world and probably didn't hear a word that Chichi had just said. Class was about to begin so Chichi decided to turn to the front to pay attention to the teacher her head still minding whatever was wrong with Bulma back there…
2nd Period - Math
"…then she goes and tells him how she's out of his league and how she's off the market and all that shit. It was fun man" Raditz was re-telling the story to Vegeta as Vegeta had been curious to know. He had watched from afar but hadn't heard a thing. The male chuckled finding the situation rather intriguing. He didn't know why but the strongest she showed she was the closer she was dragging him to her. The teacher made his entrance
"One hundred and forty two days minus at least fifteen granted days, divided by one semester of three quarters should be equal to a test every end of the month. Get ready class 'cause this is going to be a loooong year" the teacher informed quickly bringing the class back to the academic environment.
"You can chew gum, eat, and drink; whatever you want to do just as long as you don't fail my tests. If you do then the privileges are taken away. Be wise" he suggested. The class groaned. The first teacher that was actually going to teach something the first day of class…
2nd Period - Spanish
" …y de todo lo que haremos en este curso de Spanish quiero que entreguen papers al final de la clase todos los dias…" the teacher requested. No one really knew what she was talking about. A girl tap on 18's shoulder
"What'd she say?" she asked. 18 rolled her eyes clearly annoyed by the question
"You're not smart at all are you? She said that we are going to hand in Spanish papers by the end of class each day" she said arrogantly. The girl whined
"Sucks!" she said. 18 sighed
"It only sucks to lazy people like you. We need to write the papers if we want to learn something" she spoke condescendingly turning her attention to the front of the classroom as the bright responsible student she was. The girl mimicked the words 'bitch' then moved at least five seats away from her…
The Bell Rings
The group gathered in the same spot again all laughing and talking and having their good five minute break. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves; everyone except for Bulma. Ever since the day had started her five minute breaks consisted on dissing people out and getting into annoying arguments that would normally piss the crap out of anyone. To make matters even worse her so called 'friend' cared more about the debates she was creating in school rather than the way it made her feel…
Vegeta walked close to Bulma seeing her so lost in her own thoughts
"Nice performance. The word is being spread out fast" he said. Bulma blinked, twice, finally realizing that Vegeta was talking to her. She frowned
"No one asked you to rate the scene" she spat at him. Vegeta smirked
"I did it voluntarily-"
"Really? Well you can go volunteer to your football friends back there that love to kiss your ass without a problem. They'll be more interested in your 'voluntarism' than I will ever be" she said. Vegeta frowned
"Why are you such a bitch woman?"
"Why won't you leave me alone…man"
"You should know you're probably a female hero. Women die to talk to me and you happen to be the only one I talk to" he said smugly. Bulma rolled her eyes
"Oh. Wow. Lucky me, no?" she walked away from him. Vegeta followed closely
"How many men like me have you had?"
"Why are you asking ME that? I barely know you" she walked ahead of him and through the long empty hallways. Vegeta followed again
"I'm sure you've had none that's why you despise me so" he said. Bulma stopped dead in her tracks turning to face him
"No! Vegeta! The reason I'm despising you so is because there is no other thought running through your head right now than to bone me, to fuck me so hard I will scream your name until my throat goes raw and that is exactly why it's just not going to happen ok?" she said attracting some people as she did. She then turned and walked away. Vegeta followed close
"How do you know what I want?" he asked behind her. Bulma sighed
"I don't even have to guess. It's so predictable" she replied. Vegeta frowned
"Then-" he stepped back as Bulma pulled her locker door open almost hitting him across the face. He walked around the door and stepped in front of her watching as she switched books
"Then you think every guy wants to-"
"No" she stopped the book switching locking eyes with him "not every guy. Krillin is a good person and so is Goku and Jason and Quentin. Those are the only guys I can talk to right now and actually have a conversation. They don't think the nasty stuff that surrounds your head" she resumed switching books. Vegeta rolled his eyes
"Those are queers" he said. Bulma frowned
"They are not! What? Just because they're not as smooth as you are they're gay!" she banged the door to her locker hard enough to attract attention again. Vegeta grunted
"Woman I'm telling you. That Quentin guy is a cake boy. Everyone in this school knows that-"
"Well I don't care. At least he's descent which is something I can clearly not say about you" she said smugly walking towards her classroom. Vegeta followed…again
"How many people can say that about you too? At least I know they respect me-"
"They respect me too asshole. There is no man right now that is daring to come up to me with manners of your sort" she cleared up "besides I don't care what people say about me. I don't need to uphold a reputation-"
"Are you saying that I do?" Vegeta asked interrupting her. Bulma stopped again
"Yes. I am. What people think of you is too important to you and you're scared because you know there'll be a day when you will let them down and you won't know what to do" she said seeing the bones on his jaw twitching slightly as he gritted his teeth together "I'll be amazed if you know what 'love' is" she continued "you're the furthest person from it" she directed herself to the classroom. The bell rang and Vegeta realized he was still standing in the same position she had left him in. Fixing up his composure he recovered ready to face the next class…
3rd Period - Science
"…and we will be studying just plain chemistry. It's going to be easy if you work hard enough and hard if you don't work at all" the teacher kept talking as the guys sat together in the deepest corner of the classroom
"You got beat pretty bad Yamucha" Chichi said their group lending their attention to the starting conversation. Yamucha smirked
"Nah she wants me. I can tell she does" he defended himself making the small corner laugh at him. Goku placed his hand on Yamucha's shoulder
"That was a good one, man. I didn't know you were such a good joker" he laughed again. Yamucha raised his brows
"Yeah" he said tonelessly "I crack myself up…"
3rd Period - English
Bulma sat on her seat patiently waiting for class to start when she heard a masculine voice say
"Hello gorgeous" with irony resounding in the tone. Bulma turned around
"Not you again" she protested defeated. Vegeta relaxed on his chair
"You can't get enough of me woman. Admit it. I don't have a problem. Happens all the time." he stretched his arms then curled them behind his head for support. Bulma rolled her eyes
"You are impossible to deal with. If I was you I would give myself up" she said. Vegeta smirked
"If. If you were me. As much as you want to be me woman it's unfortunate because you will never be. Though I understand you why you want to be me-"
"What?" Bulma laughed now "what are you talking about?" she asked in disbelief. Vegeta raised a brow smugly
"Your inferior mind would be unable to understand-"
"Sure. Whatever homeboy-"
"Homeboy?" he frowned somewhere between angry and confused "don't call me-"
"Got it, don't call you homeboy. Fine! Whatever can keep me from talking to you anyway" she said
"You don't have to be a bitch so people will take you seriously" said Vegeta. Bulma furrowed her brows
"I'm not intending to be a bitch-"
"You're never intending to woman. But you are-"
"Students, let's get settled" the teacher requested walking inside the classroom. Everyone quieted down the first time it had actually happened
"Laptops out! Let's begin class" she instructed. Everyone reached for their bags to get their stuff out. Bulma started to search for her stuff when she felt Vegeta's warm breath on the back of her ear. She let out a sigh trying not to fall for it. Her ear was hidden below small mounds of lazy blue hair with the smell of just bloomed cherry blossoms. He breathed on her purposely knowing she was struggling to keep her composure
"Go out with me tonight" he whispered. Bulma smiled to herself then turned to face him giving him the sexiest smile she could generate
"What time?" she asked flirtatiously. Vegeta smirked
"Seven" his low voice was back again. Bulma wanted so much to say yes
"Sorry Juan but I'm booked. Maybe some other time" she turned around without even looking at his expression. It was not that Vegeta didn't know. He had been playing this game for long and he knew better than to expect her to accept on the first attempt. But the woman had guts; he had to give her that. You wanna play? Let's play. Looks like you haven't learned not to play with fire' his evil mind thought as he relaxed on his chair giving her a death glare….
3rd Period - Somewhere Out There
Krillin and 18 walked around the empty gym room the only 'classroom' not being used right now and that complied with the requirements to cut class
"What are you doing tomorrow?" the blonde asked taking their time to walk around the place as if the slower they walked the slower the minutes would pass by
"Goku told me they were gonna hang out at Vegeta's after practice. Wanna come?" Krillin asked hopeful. 18 slid a tress of her hair behind her ear
"Sure! Can you pick me up after practice?" she asked. Krillin nodded
"Cool with me just as long as you're ready" he joked. 18 giggled
"Shut up. I'm always ready. You're the one that takes like fifty hours-"
"No I don't!" Krillin protested
"Yeah you do! Always shinning your bald head so it'll look … 'attractive'" she mocked the last word. Krillin blushed heavily
"N-No…I-I d-don't" he stammered. 18 giggled again then threw her arms around him
"You know I'm kidding, Krill" she said sweetly. Krillin caressed her arms around him
"I know" he replied. A deep silence surrounded the large gym just the two of them walking around. 18 finally decided to sit down on the floor and Krillin followed right behind her. She rested her back against the bleachers then had Krillin sit in between her legs so they could be closer. She kissed his head then embraced her arms around him. Krillin started placing small pecks on her arms
"Krillin?" she called. Krillin looked up
"Huh?"
"We break up and then we're together again. Then we break up and we're together again. Then we break up and…what are we now? I mean-"
"I don't think there's a reason to ask that, hon" he cut her off. 18 furrowed her brows
"Why not?" she asked dubious. Krillin smiled kissing her jawbone
"We are we. 18 and Krillin. I think there'll be nothing wrong with that" he replied. 18 leaned in for the smoothest sweetest kiss she'd ever taste from Krillin…
"I missed you" she said kissing him again. Krillin smiled
"I missed you too" he said as well bringing her in for another sweet kiss…
End of Ch.3. Boy! Wasn't that cheesy? Well, sorry if it was. I am kind of lacking in the romantic business. Not too romantic kind of a person. My feelings are what you people would call 'cold', but don't worry about it. I'll make it better! Don't you wonder what's going to happen from here on? I do! You know what you can do about it? You can do two things: You can review and tell me how'd you like this chappie AND you can stay tuned for the next chapter, which is going to come out sOoN! Ciao!
