Thank you everyone who reviewed the first chapter! I LOVED them!
Chapter 2: Just Kidding! Not really…
"AHH! What on earth Gohan!" Videl screamed, drawing the attention of the ENTIRE class.
--- --- --- ---
"You…muscles…uh…is this some sort of joke? Are those like, blow up muscles from some prank store?"
"PSH AH AH! Gohan you're such a retard!" Sharpener yelled, making his way over to Videl and Gohan. "I can't believe you got those stupid things!"
"Umm, what are you guys talking about?"
"Heh, yeah, Gohan, I can't believe you got those lame things!" Videl said, snapping out of her stupor. "They've had those plastic muscles in the window of Jinx's Joke Shop for weeks! You can take them off now. I told you before, we already know you're not that strong."
"Ok. I still have no idea what you're talking about."
"What, did you get 'em stuck on or somethin'?" Sharpener said sarcastically. "Here, I'll help ya' nerd." And with that, Sharpener grabbed the back of Gohan's neck and started yanking his skin, attempting to remove the 'fake muscles.'
"Geez! Did you super glue these on or something? These are the most realistic blow-up muscles EVER!"
"Here, I'll give it a go." Videl offered.
Soon, both Sharpener and Videl were yanking in random places trying to figure out how to get the muscles off.
"Alright Gohan, you've got us stumped" Videl finally admitted. How do you get these off!"
"Um, you don't. Why are you trying to skin me?"
A look of shock suddenly came across Videl's face.
"Y-y-y-you m-mean…those…are your real muscles!?! Sharpener yelled.
Videl, still looking a little shocked, carefully took a step closer to Gohan, and then another. This confused Gohan, and he looked at her with an expression of confusion mixed with anger, since he had no idea what was going on. Videl took another baby step towards him, putting herself directly in front of him, staring into his well-muscled chest. She cautiously raised her arm, and with her index finger, quickly jabbed his chest with it, and then jumped away as if her were diseased or something.
"GAH!"
The class, meanwhile, had been talking amongst themselves. Whispers echoed throughout the room, creating a loud hissing sound. Gohan caught some of the almost inaudible conversations, and turned a bright crimson.
"Iyuh…work-out sometimes?" He said, almost like he was trying to convince himself as well.
"That is NOT from just working out!" Videl screamed in shock. "That's from, well, I'd say years and years of hardcore martial arts training!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. My parents were into it, my dad's friends were. Whatever. He said, staring at the floor and attempting to bore holes it so he could fall through and disappear. To bad you can't make holes by staring. He thought.
"Uh, are you gonna get these measurements anytime soon Miss Christie?"
Miss Christie took the required measurements, noticeably blushing, and touching him more than necessary as she wrapped the measuring tape around him.
Gohan quickly put his shirt back on, and left to join the ranks of his classmates. He couldn't help but notice the strange look they gave him though.

A.P. CHEMISTRY
"Alright, alright, settle down." The teacher said after the bell rang, signaling the beginning of class. "Are there any questions from last night's homework? No? Good. Then get out some paper to take notes."
She quickly wrote the date and the title of the days lesson 'Real Gases and Departure from the Ideal Gas Law' on the chalkboard.
"Ok," he began, writing PVnRT on the board underneath the lesson title. "Gases deviate from the ideal gas law at high pressures, and low temperatures. I assume you all remember that from last year? Ok, well here's where things get different. To compensate for reduced pressure, due to attractive forces in real gases, use (Pan2/v2) and to compensate for increased volume, use (V-nb). This is part of Vander Waal's Equation…"
He continued to talk, but Gohan kinda zoned out on him, having learned this a long time ago. Chemistry was one of his best subjects anyways. He began to wonder what everyone thought about him now. He had pretty much run to class when the bell rang at the end of gym, and didn't talk to anyone, much less give anyone a chance to talk to him. Videl would probably keep trying to discover his secrets, but with even more determination now.
Suddenly, a loud beeping sound right next to him sounded, practically scaring him half to death.
Videl looked down at her watch, and answered it.
"Videl! Videl! You have to get down here NOW! There's a bank robbery in progress, and it's BIG! We NEED your help!" Screamed a voice from her watch.
"I'm on my way chief." Videl promptly answered.
She rushed out the door without a word to the teacher, and ran down the hall.
Gohan half-closed his eyes and tried to sense how strong the thieves were. They were fairly strong for humans, but Videl could take care of them…but only if they attacked one at a time. There were quite a few of them present, and more than likely were armed. She definitely needed help on this one.
Gohan raised his hand, and waited for the teacher to call on him.
"Yes?"
"Um, may I go to the restroom?"
"Hold on, let me check." He looked in his grade book, and then looked back at Gohan. "That would be a definite no. You only get three bathroom passes per semester, and I've already let you have four! You just going to have to wait."
"But, I really really need to go!"
"Sorry, I can't help you there. I already let you have an extra pass, which I usually don't do, so to be fair to everyone, no, you can't go."
Shoot! How am I gonna get out of this one? I can't just sit here and wait!
Suddenly, an idea came to him. Gohan glanced at the large window on the left side of the room, near the front. It went from about three feet above the floor to a couple inches below the ceiling, and was as long as half the room.
That'll do.
The next thing anyone knew, the glass of the window had shattered completely, letting all the rain, and the powerful wind into the room, and a strange glowing yellow ball was hovering in the center of the window.
