Chapter 2 – Spray Paint
Bra arrived at school a little on the early side. Stacy was already waiting for her by the front doors.
"Did you bring it?"
She asked, a wicked grin on her face. Bra nodded, and handed over a paper bag.
"Good."
The two stepped into the school, and walked towards the girls' washroom. Once there, Bra waited outside, while Stacy walked in. Bra looked up and down the halls, feeling a little nervous. Was this alright to do? Even though she wasn't friends with Pan anymore, this just didn't seem right. Ten minutes later, Stacy walked out, and the two quickly walked away.

For the first time in two years, Pan waited in front of the school. You only wait when you're expecting someone, and Pan hadn't really had any friends to wait for since Bra stabbed her in the back.
Five minutes till school started, and the person Pan was waiting for finally arrived.
"Hey Pan."
Red greeted without a smile. Pan wondered briefly if that's how she seemed sometimes: unhappy, and distant. The blonde had been right, though, because Red was a lot like Pan. The two walked quietly into the school when the bell rang, and split up because they had different classes. After grabbing her Physics textbook and binder from her locker, Pan headed to class.
Sitting at the back of the room like she usually did, Pan didn't miss some of the dirty looks sent her way by some of the other girls. What did I ever do to them? Pan wondered sourly. The teacher came in, and class started. Well, it almost did, anyway. The vice principal walked in. The woman was short, and had a nasty way of looking down on everyone, like she was so much better. Disciplinarian? Heck, the woman enjoyed the job.
"Pan Son? My office, now."
Without further word, Ms. Splilton left the room. Pan stood up; glancing around the room at the many eyes turned her way. She didn't miss Bra's averted gaze. Wondering suspiciously what was going on, Pan left the room, and followed the vice principal.

"I never thought you'd do anything like this, Pan."
The shorter woman stated upon arriving at her office. Pan stood in the door way, blinking in confusion at the older woman
"Do what?"
A puzzled Pan asked. Ms. Splilton's gaze narrowed, and she said
"The washroom, remember?"
Pan gave her a blank stare
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
Ms. Splilton frowned at her, and said
"Follow me, maybe seeing it will refresh your memory."
The vice principal led the way down a couple halls, till they reached the girls washroom. The older woman waited near the door as Pan walked through. Eyes wide with shock, Pan looked around the small restroom, nearly having a heart attack. Someone had used black spray paint, to write insults of all kinds, to probably more than half the girls in her grade.
Stepping back out to where Ms. Splilton was waiting, Pan said
"I didn't do that."
"Then why aren't you mentioned in there?"
Pan's jaw dropped
"I didn't see Brittany's name, or Shelly's either, why aren't you blaming them?"
Because they're perfect students, right? And I'm the delinquent who has nothing better to do with her time. Pan thought angrily.
"I'm going to have to call your parents about this. You'll have detention for two weeks, plus an hour after school everyday till this mess is cleaned up."
Without waiting for another word, the shorter woman turned around and began walking away
"You can't just accuse me of this!"
Pan nearly shouted at her. The woman turned around, eyebrows narrowed
"I know you did it, Pan, no one else would. You weren't mentioned in there, and you're the only one who would say that about all those other girls. Besides,"
Ms. Splilton said with a smirk
"Several students say they saw you waiting outside of school, something you never do. You didn't want to be caught near it, right?"
Pan nearly had a heart attack.
"I was waiting for someone. I didn't even go into the school till the bell rang!"
"Who would have done it, then?"
Pan remembered Bra's almost guilty look, and scowled
"Why don't you try asking one of your perfect students? If I did that, I wouldn't be stupid enough to leave my own name out."
The vice principal glared at her, and said
"Go back to class, and remember, clean up after school."
The woman left Pan standing there, glaring at her back.

Trunks and Goten were standing by their lockers, putting their books away, when Trunks caught sight of a furious Pan storm down the hallway. He could sense her ki sky rocketing, and turned to Goten
"Wonder what she's angry about?"
Goten shrugged,
"I don't know, let's go ask her. If anything, we can stop her from killing someone."
Trunks nodded his head, muttering to himself how he'd never seen her so angry before.
"Pan, wait up!"
Goten called, both half saiyans ran down the hall to catch up with her. She had turned the corner, and looked about ready to rip her locker's door off by its hinges.
"Pan, what's wrong?"
Trunks asked, feeling a little worried.
"They're blaming me for something I didn't do!"
Pan nearly shouted, throwing her books into her locker and slamming it shut. She placed her lock on it, then turned to face Trunks, glaring at him as if it was his fault
"Someone spray painted all over the girls' bathroom. All over it! Insulting more than half the girls in my grade. I'm being blamed for it, cause I'm one of the only girls not mentioned!"
Pan fought the urge to punch her fist through her locker. Red chose that time to come walking up to them
"Pan?"
Pan turned to see Red standing there, a blank look on her face. Goten and Trunks turned to the girl curiously, as Pan introduced them, using a more civil tone.
"Goten, Trunks, his is Red, she's new in school. Red, this is Goten and Trunks."
Red nodded her head towards the two, and turned to Pan
"I heard what happened."
She said calmly. Pan sighed dejectedly, and looked around
"This school hates me. I had nothing to do with it."
Red nodded her head, and said
"Pan, do you have any idea who would do it?"
Pan thought again back to Bra. Would she…?
"Bra."
Pan stated, before stalking off. Goten, Trunks and Red all looked at each other, before quickly following Pan.

"Can you believe it? I never thought it would work so well."
Stacy said happily to her friends. Bra looked over at her, and said
"I don't think we should have done it. Pan didn't do anything to us."
Stacy rolled her eyes, and replied
"We don't need a reason to do it. I just really don't like her."
"Because she's friends with Trunks, right?"
One of the blondes snickered. Bra narrowed her eyes at Stacy, and said
"You're noting trying that again, are you? He already said no to you."
Stacy glared at the blonde, Kate, and said to Bra
"I'm not trying anything. I just don't think it's right for someone like Trunks to hang out with someone like Pan. I mean, she's a looser, her shouldn't hang out with her out of pity."
Bra starred at Stacy for a long moment, before saying
"I don't think you have the right to decide that."
Stacy rolled her eyes, and said
"Bra, stop it with the goodie-two-shoes act, it's so not cool."
Bra looked away, wondering for the millionth time whether or not Stacy was actually a friend.
"So, after school, you guys want to go shopping?"
Stacy asked, looking at three other girls there. All of them piped up an eager 'yeah!'. Bra nodded her head in agreement. The change of topic was a much more easier thing to talk about.
"Hope you buy yourself a grave, cause you'll be needing it."
Pan was standing in front of them, glaring at them furiously. Stacy looked at her innocently, and asked
"Is that a threat? Pan, I might have to report that."
Pan glared at her, and said
"You guys did the bathroom, I won't be blamed for it!"
"I don' know what you're talking about."
Stacy replied, looking at her nails as if they were the more interesting. Bra watched as Trunks, Goten, and Red (A/N: Bra knew her name cause she has a class with her) came from around the corner to stand behind Pan.
"Pan, let's go."
Trunks suggested, frowning at his sister. She looked away, and turned her attention towards Pan. With one last glare towards Stacy, and Bra, Pan turned to walk away, but stopped near Bra. Without looking at her, she said
"I feel sorry for you, Bra. You're all so pathetic."
Pan continued down the hall, leaving a slightly stunned Bra standing with her group of friends. Trunks, Goten, and Red quickly followed Pan.
