"But how did you get me enrolled without me taking the entrance exam?" Gohan asked confused.
"I did it for you, since you would've aced it anyway. That way there would be no protests coming from you. You start tomorrow."
Chapter 6: School...
A teenager walked down the streets of Satan City. He was wearing fading blue jeans with a black button-up shirt. The top two buttons were undone, exposing a bit of his chest. The bottom button was also undone. He wore black leather shoes and had a black-and-blue backpack.
'What was Bulma thinking! I'll never fit in. I have too much power. Doesn't she realise how hard it will be to hide it! Man. I have more important things to worry about. Oh well, I might as well try.'
Gohan's thoughts were interupted as he heard gun-shots. He used his speed to get close to the incident. "Pathetic." Gohan muttered to himself. Looking around to see if no one was watching he went super. 'Hopefully no one will recognise me.' Just then his shirt started glowing red. He was surprised. 'Huh? Haha. Bulma must have had something to do with my shirt changing colours. I'll have to thank her. This way people will have even less chance of recognising me.'
Needles to say, Gohan stopped the bank robbers without even the slightest difficulties. He used his energy to render their weapons useless. Then he knocked each of the thugs out one after the other. When he was done someone shouted at him. "Hey, YOU!" It was a girl with the most beautiful blue eyes Gohan had ever seen. Her hair was tied in two loose-hanging pigtails, one on each side of her head. She was wearing a loose-hanging white shirt with short, black spandex pants. The girl caught him staring.
"What are you looking at!" She asked sternly
"Your beautiful blue eyes." After saying this he quickly disappeared. When he was far enough he stopped in another alley and powered down. 'What was I thinking! Oh,well. At least she won't recognise me. But her eyes are so...stop that! Man. I better get to school.'
The girl stood there, flustered. 'Wow.' She thought. 'I bet he could beat up my dad. He's so...What am I thinking! I better get going.'
--------------------------------
"Ahem! Settle down class." The teacher, Mr. Gray, was trying to get the classes attention. After a couple of rude whistles the class finally quited down. "Well, it is the beginning of another year my young...scholars. We have a new student this year and he got a perfect score on all his entrance exams." After Mr. Gray said this Gohan walked inside. Everyone was expecting to see a nerd. Gasps were herd from the girls. Guys scowled at the girls' reactions. "Now, my boy. Do give us your full name and where your from."
"Hey. My names Gohan Son and I'm from West City. It's nice to meet you." He said in mock confidence. He was actually kind of nervous, not knowing what to expect. But he knew just how to hide the nervousness.
"Welcome to our class." Mr. Gray said. "Now, does anyone have any questions for Mr. Son?" Quite a number of hands went up. Inwardly Gohan squirmed. He didn't want to answer any akward questions.
"Where in West City do you live?" A blond guy asked. He looked like a jock and was the only guy that raised his hand. Gohan didn't like him for some reason.
"On the west side." Gohan answered.
"Are you single!" A girl somewhere squeeled. He didn't know exactly who said it since most of the girls started asking him the same question. They also started fighting with each other saying things like, "He's mine!", "No way! I saw him first!"
"Oh my goodness!" Gohan started laughing. Everyone stared at him. Gohan stopped laughing and said. "I'm sorry. It's just that I've never experienced anything quite like this before."
Now that the class was calm again the teacher took his chance. "Mr. Gohan, please go take a seat next to Miss Videl in the back row, so we can begin the lesson. Miss Videl, please raise your hand so Mr. Gohan can find you." Videl reluctantly raised her hand. Gohan nearly let his mask slip. It was the girl from that morning. When he got to his seat he said, "Hi Videl it's nice to meet you." Then he smiled at her and stretched out his hand for her to shake.
She shook his hand and said, "Nice to meet you too." He sat down as she thought, 'Wow he has a really nice smile and strong hands. What the hell! That's the second guy I've hit on today! In my mind maybe, but still. I am Videl, I don't hit on anyone, not even in my own mind! What's going on with me today?'
Gohan couldn't help it. Every so often he would look straight into those beautiful blue eyes. He didn't pay any attention to the teacher. Partly because he knew all that stuff already, and partly because he found Videl a lot more interesting to watch. A couple of times she caught him looking at her.
"What are you looking at?" She asked, an annoyed expression on her face.
"N.. N-Nothing." He stuttered as he let his mask slip and a red blush appeared on his cheeks. He looked away quickly and stared at the blackboard.
'That is so cute! VIDEL! Stop thinking like that!' She was still scowling at Gohan. Mainly because of her own feelings. For some reason she wanted Gohan to look at her. She was annoyed with herself for thinking like that. Just then, the bell rang.
The rest of the day went by without a hitch. Gohan found that he was in all Videl's classes. And his eyes always wandered over to her. Then Gym came.
"Good Afternoon class. We don't have anything planned for today. So does anyone have any suggestions?" The Gym teacher asked.
"How about sparring." The blonde guy, who Gohan now knew as Sharpener, said.
'Perfect.' Gohan thought in exasperation as he saw how hard this was going to be.
"An excelent idea Sharpener! Why don't you start things off. Choose an opponent." Sharpener was grinning ear to ear. All day he wanted a reason to kick Gohan's ass. "My opponent will be the new guy. Come on Brains, let's see what you're made of."
Gohan walked forward, the other students were sitting in the stands. Videl eyed Gohan curiously. Sharpener was making poses for all the girls.
'I better be careful with this guy. I may not like him, but I also don't want to cause him even more brain damage.'
"You're finished Gohan." Sharpener whispered as he stood in a very flawed attacking stance.
Gohan just smiled as he took a flawless defensive stance. 'This guy has no idea.'
Then they started. Sharpener attacked. Gohan just blocked everything and used Sharpener's own momentum to throw him off balance. Gohan wasn't even trying. This continued for nearly the entire lesson. Sharpener was getting tired. Then the fight was stopped by Videl as a revelation hit her.
"Gohan Son!" She exclaimed. "You wouldn't be the son of Goku, the legendary martial artist, would you?" Gohan cringed at hearing his father's name. Sharpener couldn't believe his ears. He was fighting a legends son. He wanted to humiliate Gohan, But it ended up the other way around. 'Gohan will pay for my humiliation!'
"Goku?" He asked, trying to look confused and then shrugged. And with that he turned on his heel and walked to the door. Before he reached it the bell rang, signalling the end of the school day. 'It looks as though Gohan doesn't even know who Goku is. What a nerd.' Sharpener thought.
Videl followed Gohan for about four blocks before he disappeared around a corner. When Videl turned the corner she found herself being grabbed by a pair of strong hands. "Let GO of me, you jerk!" Gohan let go and she turned around looking him in the eyes, a bit surprised. "G...G-Gohan!"
"Why are you following me?" Gohan asked with a big smile, happy that she did.
"I wasn't following you. My house is this way." She said blushing slightly.
"Oh! Sorry." Gohan said apologetically, it was his turn to blush. "So, um, sorry for grabbing you like that. I just thought you were following me because of Gym Class."
"So are you?" She inquired.
"So am I what?" He asked confused.
"The son of Goku!" She said exasperated.
"The son of Goku? Yeah, I am." Gohan said surpressing his sadness. "But if people asks, could you please tell them that you don't know. It's not something I want to advertise."
"Sure, but how come?" She asked innocently.
Gohan walked into Satan City Park, Videl followed. They sat on a bench next to the lake. 'I feel like I can trust her. It's ironic considering that Hercule is her father. Who would've known that he had such a beautiful daughter. Man! Stop it Gohan!...Great...I'm talking to myself.'
"Promise you won't tell?" Gohan asked.
"Sure." She said.
"Okay. I'm only telling you this because I feel like I can trust you. Here goes." He took a deep breath. "My father and I don't exactly see each other anymore. And I would rather be known as Gohan. Not as Goku's son. My father's a good man but all he ever did was train, eat, and sleep. He was hardly ever home. Anyway, that's the condensed version, and you probably think I'm stupid."
"No, I think I understand. I mean I'm mostly known as Hercules daughter. Not as Videl. And my dad stopped spending time with me right after he got all his fame and fortune. Parents can be so confusing sometimes." She said staring out at the lake.
"Well, at least we know what mistakes not to make when we have kids of our own one day." Seeing the look on Videl's face he quickly said, "I mean, n..n-not you and me just...oh, man!" He turned bright red. Then Videl started laughing. Gohan looked at her laugh, she was so beautiful. Then he started laughing too.
"Thanks Gohan! I needed that! I haven't laughed like that in a long time."She said smiling up at him.
"Your welcome, and I guess I needed that too. You mind if I walk you home?" He asked her, hoping she wouldn't blow up or reject him.
"I'd like that. Come on." And so they walked towards the west side of Satan City where Videl's home was located. They came up to a big mansion after about ten minutes of walking. "Well, this is it." She said with a dissatisfied look on her face. Gohan saw this and smiled. 'She doesn't look impressed! Guess she doesn't really get along with her father all too well. Maybe we really are sorta in the same boat. Her father ingnores her and mines not here.' His chain of thoughts were interupted by a voice that appeared to be emenating from Videl's wrist.
"Go ahead Captain." She stated seriously.
"Videl, a bus of elderly people have been hi-jacked. The criminals are heading south on route 94. They're already out of the city."
"Leave it to me Captain. Sorry Gohan I have to go." Then she took out a capsule and revealed her jetcopter.
"All by yourself? That's dangerous!" Gohan exclaimed. "Let me come with you at least."
"Sorry Gohan. I work better alone." She didn't give Gohan time to argue. A deafening sound erupted from the jetcopter's engines. Two seconds later she was in the air and heading south.
'I better follow her. From what I can sense, there are four thugs with bigger than average power levels. Videl's power level surprised me when I first saw her. She's a lot stronger than her father. Wow! She's amazi...Gohan stop that. I better move! She's almost there!' Gohan turned super and flew after her.
Videl got there very quickly in her jetcopter. She jumped down onto the roof of the bus. The thugs heard her land and started shooting through the roof, trying to hit her. When the bullets stopped coming she swung onto the side of the bus and kicked straight through the glass, hitting one of the thugs. Then she took down the other thugs one by one, but the driver was accidentally knocked unconscious. Videl could only watch, horrified, as the bus went over a cliff. She closed her eyes, waiting for death as the bus would hit the ground, but the crash never came...
...surprised, she looked out the window and saw the Gold Fighter. 'All day at school people talked about him. I saw him this morning too. And now he's here. Saving us.' Gohan caught the bus and set it down safely on the ground, then he took off.
Ten minutes later as Videl arrived back at her 'house'. Gohan was leaning against the wall with his arms folded across his chest. When she got out of her jetcopter, she asked him curiously, "What are you still doing here?"
"I wanted to make sure you're alright. Were you able to stop them?" He asked with a neutral expression.
"Yeah, but the bus went over a cliff. And then, the Gold Fighter appeared. He caught the buss and put it safely down!" She said excitedly. "I wish I new who he was." Gohan smiled inwardly. "You probably think I'm crazy, right?"
"Nope. Your not crazy." Then before Videl could respond her father came storming out of the house screaming something about boys not being allowed. Videl turned to Gohan and shoved him a bit. "Quick! You have to get out of here! I'll see you tomorrow. If my father sees you, you're dead!"
"Okay, see you tomorrow then." Gohan replied, not wanting to come face to face with that big oaf anyway. He ran around the corner and was gone.
