High School Days

Chapter 2

The First Day

A young boy with a head of spiky hair silently walked into the room. He crept up to the bed, grinning. Suddenly --

"Big brother!" Son Gohan was jerked to consciousness. He looked around to see an innocent smiling face. The surprise on his face melted into a kind smile as he put his hand on the child's head.

"I'm up, I'm up," Gohan told him. "Goten, go tell mom that I'm awake." Goten smiled before he happily bounced down the stairs to tell their mother.

Gohan rubbed his eyes as he swung his feet over the side of his bed. He looked at the clock to see that it was five o'clock. He had time. Standing up, Gohan grabbed his clothes and headed into the bathroom.

Taking a quick and refreshing shower, Gohan headed downstairs for breakfast.

"Good morning!" Chi-Chi greeted enthusiastically. Gohan greeted her as well.

"Good morning, mom," he told her. Goten was at the table, eating his sixth bowl of cereal.

"Hey, Gohan!" greeted Goten, his mouth full of cereal. (Chi-Chi whacked him on the head, telling him about table manners) Gohan walked to him and ruffled his hair.

"Good morning, squirt." Gohan took his place at the kitchen table and waited for his food.

"Are you excited?" asked Chi-Chi. She walked to Gohan, balancing the plates of food on different parts of her body. Gohan helped her set the food down.

"Yeah, I am," Gohan replied. Chi-Chi pinched the cheek of her older son.

"My baby is finally going to college!" she exclaimed. Her normal dark eyes were glazed over with a starry look.

"Mom!" Gohan interrupted. "It's only high school!" Chi-Chi came out of her trance and smiled at him.

"I know that," she told him. "But you'll get a scholarship and go to a good college! You're growing up so fast!" She stopped to wipe a single tear that formed at her eye. And then she went back to normal.

Quickly demolishing the piles of food, Gohan stood up.

"Thanks for breakfast, mom." Gohan kissed his mother on the cheek before going outside. "NIMBUS!" Gohan's shout echoed in the mountains. But soon enough, the familiar golden cloud came out of the sky and stopped in front of Gohan.

"Bye, mom! Bye, Goten!" Gohan waved as he hopped on the Nimbus cloud. Chi-Chi and Goten ran out of the house to see him off. For Chi-Chi, it was because her child was going to school for the first time. For Goten, well, he just wanted to see his big brother off.

The Nimbus cloud flew through the air quickly, but to Gohan, it was okay. He stretched his arms above his head.

'Wow!' Gohan thought to himself. 'I'm going to school! Now I can meet other kids my age!' Keeping this happy thought in mind, Gohan was able to endure the long, one hour flight to Satan City.

"Thanks, Nimbus!" The cloud slowed down, allowing Gohan to get off. He waved the Nimbus off until it was just a golden dot.

"Uh-oh." Gohan looked at his wrist-watch. "I won't make it in time!' Gohan looked around him and saw no one. Grinning, he said, "Time for Turbo Speed!" Gohan ran at a speed that was ten times the speed of a normal human! A couple were driving in their car, when suddenly they were blown out of their lane. They stopped to look behind them, but there was nothing there.

Gohan continued to run until he heard a scream. He stopped and ran at normal speed to the source of the sound.

"Get the money!" A large, masked man threw a bag at the store clerk. He pointed a large gun at the clerk, causing him to whimper in fear as he got the money.

"Not another robbery!" Gohan said out loud. He ran into a nearby alley, making sure that no one saw him. Moving his hands up, he brought them down, helping him with the transformation to a Super Saiyan. Gohan took off his school pin and put it in his pocket.

"What?" The leader of the heist watched in horror as his men were beaten to a pulp by a golden blur. He jumped in their car, yelling, "Go now!" The masked driver nodded and slammed his foot down on the accelerator. Gohan watched as the car sped away, but only extended his hand, palm facing the car.

"Ahh!" Letting out only a little bit of his power, Gohan sent a large invisible energy blast at the truck. The two dis-armed robbers scrambled to get out of the burning car. Gohan chose this time to fly away.

"Stop where you are!" Policemen, clad in blue uniform, arrived at the scene and pointed their handguns at the robbers. A teenage girl followed close behind.

"What happened?" she asked out loud. "This is hardly police work." An old man went up to her.

"Videl!" he exclaimed. "Wasn't that Gold Fighter great?"

"What Gold Fighter?" she asked. The old man stared at her in shock.

"You mean you didn't see him?" Videl did not answer. "He had golden hair and inhuman strength! Why, he stopped a car just by yelling at it!" Videl raised an eyebrow.

"Is that all?" she asked. "Did you see what he was wearing?" The old man nodded.

"Yes," he replied. "He was wearing..."


Gohan stood outside of the door nervously. He raised his hand and knocked. The door opened to reveal a moustached man; obviously the teacher. He smiled and opened the door wider.

"Class, this is out new student. His name is Gohan. He got one hundred percent on all of his entrance exams!" The students just watched as the new kid walked over to the teacher's desk. Giving him a once over, the jocks turned away with distaste, muttering unkind words about nerds.

"Is there anything that you would like to say about yourself?" Mr. Ronin asked. Gohan shook his head. "All right, then. You may sit by.." Mr. Ronin scanned the room, looking for an empty seat. "Erasa." A bubbly blonde girl stood up and waved at him. Gohan put on a smile as he walked up the stairs towards her.

"Hi," she greeted cheerfully. "I'm Erasa." She gestured to her two companions. "This is Sharpener and that's Videl." Sharpener had long, straight blonde hair and carefully crafted muscles. To accent them, he wore a muscle shirt. Sharpener was clearly a jock and wore an air or confidence.

"Guess who Videl's father is!" Erasa exclaimed.Clearly, it was a rhetorical question. "The one and only; Hercule!" Gohan's eyebrows shot up as he looked at Videl.

"Are you serious?" he asked. Videl wore her thick shoulder length black hair in two pigtails, which didn't seem too Satan-like. She wore a large white t-shirt which almost covered her blackbiker shorts. Her piercing blue eyes stared at Gohan. He noticed this and turned away.

"Have you heard about the Gold Fighter yet?" asked Erasa. Gohan shook his head, a questioning look on his face.

"What Gold Fighter?" he asked. Erasa looked at him in surprise.

"You mean you haven't heard? It's what everyone's talking about!" Gohan shook his head yet again. "He's this incredibly strong fighter with golden hair! He is super fast and his strength is amazing!" Gohan plastered on a fake smile.

"That sounds cool!" Truthfully, this news was actually very bad. Inwardly, he thought, 'Oh no! I'ts only been one day and I've already made myself a legend!'

Videl stared at Gohan, her eyes narrowed. There was just something about him. Before Erasa had mentioned the Gold Fighter, she didn't know what it was. But now she did.

"Hey, Gohan." The name in question turned to the source of the sound, and was surprised to see that it came from Videl. "I remember what the Gold Fighter was wearing. He was wearing orange pants, a white shirt and a black vest." Gohan looked down at his own wardrobe and found that he wore these exact articles of clothing.

"Hey!" Erasa interrupted in a cheerful tone. "You dress like the Gold Fighter!" Gohan grinned sheepishly, but he was mentally sighing with relief. For some people, being naive was a good thing.

"I guess I do." Gohan looked over at Videl, who didn't seem quite satisfied with that answer.


As the class droned on, Gohan fought hard to suppress his yawns. This was all so simple! He looked over at his 'friends'. They took in the teacher's words and quickly wrote them down in their notebooks. Erasa noticed Gohan staring, so she smiled at him. He smiled back. Seeing this, Sharpener threw Gohan a death glare. Gohan returned the glare with a confused look, which only infuriated Sharpener even more. He stood up and slammed his hands on the table.

"That's it!" The class was jerked out of their sleepy state and turned their attention to Sharpener.

"Is there something that you would like to share with the class?" Mr. Ronin asked. Sharpener's face flared like a tomato. He quickly sat down and directed his eyes to his notebook. Inside, he was fuming.

'I wonder what's wrong with Sharpener,' thought Gohan. He can be so naive.


"So Gohan," Erasa started, trying to make conversation, "where do you live?" The last class had finally ended and the four teenagers were headed outside.

"Well, I live in the 439 Mountain Area," Gohan replied. his companions stopped abruptly and stared at him.

"What?" exclaimed Videl. "That's like a five hour drive from here!" Gohan slapped himself mentally.

"I know that," Gohan replied smoothly. "I'm staying with some friends over in West City." The three of them believed it. West City was only an hour and a half drive away.

"I have to go." Videl rummaged through her backpack until she had found the capsule that she had been looking for. With a wave of her hand, Videl opened the side door to the roof and was gone.

"Gohan," began Sharpener, "have you joined any clubs yet?" Gohan shook his head. "You should join the boxing club. Maybe you could become a good little fighter!" Sharpener grinned at this thought. Gohan smiled slightly. Sharpener had no idea how strong Gohan was. But that was all the better for his cover.

"He can't," Erasa told Sharpener. "He has a long drive home. Do you think that you could give me a lift?" Gohan hesitated, but gave in to Erasa's smilng face.

"Okay." Gohan dug through the contents of his bag and took out his capsule kit. He was horrified to find that they were all new, not even for sale. Gohan selected the oldest one, which happened to be the newest on the market.

"What a second." Sharpener roughly grabbed Gohan by the arm. To answer Erasa's questioning look, he said, "It's a guy thing." She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, preparing to wait for however long she needed to.

"Walking over to a wall, Sharpener looked around, making sure that no one was there. He pushed Gohan up against the school building.

"Listen," Sharpener growled, "stop flirting with Erasa and don't try anything with Videl. They're way out of your league. And if you don't, you can feel my fist." Gohan was immune to this threat, but he put on a scared look and nodded. Satisfied, Sharpener let Gohan go and walked back to Erasa.

"Ready to go?" asked Gohan. Sharpener looked at him in surprise. Where was his fear? His surprise turned into grinning amusement as he saw Gohan take out a capsule. He probably drove some piece of tin, which would make him lose some real points with Erasa.

"Watch your eyes." Everybody around them shielded their eyes as Gohan threw his capsule.

When the smoke cleared, everyone stared in shock.

"Gohan! Where did you get that?" exclaimed Erasa. Gohan scratched his head as he thought up a good answer.

"It was a gift." This statement was true. Bulma had given it to Gohan for his sixteenth birthday, but he hadn't used it until now.

Sharpener's eyes bulged as he stared at the expensive hover car. 'WHAT HAPPENED? IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A PIECE OF TIN!' he screamed mentally.

The remaining students of Orange Star crowded around the car. Gohan and Erasa pushed though the crowd until they reached his car. Unfortunately, there was already somebody sitting in it.

"Get out!" Erasa told the boy. He flashed her a grin, but tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

"No way, babe," he told her. "This car's too awesome for a geek."

"Stand back!" shouted a loud voice. The car was engulfed in smoke. When it cleared, the car was gone, leaving Elio on the ground.

"What the hell happened?" he yelled. Elio got up and stomped over to Gohan while rolling up his sleeves. "Did you have something to do with this?" There was a chorus of 'Fight'.

"Hey! Stop it!" The two 'fighters' were surprised to see that it came from Sharpener. He put his hands on Elio's shoulders. "You were the one that jumped in his car," stated Sharpener, trying to make it sound like a joke. "It's not like he can fight or anything. It would be unfair." Elio thought about this and laughed.

"You're right; it would be unfair!" He walked away with his friends, laughing all the way.

Seeing that there was no car and there would be no fight, the crowd dispersed. Sharpener walked over to Gohan, giving him a thumbs up.

"Hey," he greeted cooly. "You owe me one." Gohan grinned and went into his bag. Opening his capsule case, he took out the newest one and threw it to Sharpener.

"Thanks." Sharpener looked at the label and his eyes widened in awe. He looked over at Gohan who nodded. Sharpener threw it right beside Gohan's veghicle.

"WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?" Sharpener yelled. The crowd was back. "IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ON SALE FOR ANOTHER TWENTY-SIX MONTHS!" Gohan grinned and scratched his head.

"My friends who gave me this is a friend of Bulma Briefs."

"You have connections with Bulma Briefs?" Erasa looked as though she would faint.

"Sharpener!" Elio was back. "Where'd you get this sweet ride?" He climbed into the driver's seat and looked around.

"I-it's not mine. It's his." Sharpener pointed at Gohan. Elio's eyes narrowed and he jumped out of the car.

"You again, nerd?" Gohan smiled awkwardly.

"It's me." This remark made Elio even angrier.

"Are you messed or something?" he spat. "Your parents must have dropped you on the head. Repeatedly. But hey, they're pretty messed up as well." Gohan's temper began to rise.

"Don't insult my parents!" Elio grinned. He had struck a soft spot.

"I guess I hit a nerve," he stated. "Your parents must be nerds too! Goes well together. No, I bet your mom is high and your dad is on crack." Gohan's temper sky-rocketed.

"DON'T INSULT MY PARENTS!" Gohan yelled. Sparks flared aroudn him as he became a Super Saiyan.

"Gohan?" exclaimed Erasa, "you're the Gold Fighter?"


Just Kidding.

There is no Elio. What kind or parent would name their kid "Elio"? (No offense to anybody that is named Elio)


"Gohan, where did you get that?" Erasa asked. Gohan opened the door for her while in thought.

"It was a gift." Hopping in himself, Gohan waved to a gaping Sharpener. There was a cloud of dust and they were gone.

"I live on Satan Drive," Erasa told Gohan. She began to talk rapidly about everything she knew. Gossip, clothing, people and so forth. Finally she asked, "What are your hobbies?" Gohan thought about this.

"I study, train and play with my little brother," Gohan replied.

"You have a little brother?" Erasa asked. He nodded. "That's so cute!" Registering his other words, she said, "You fight?" Gohan shrugged.

"It's no big deal," he told her. "I'm not that strong." Erasa just smiled.

"Turn here," she instructed. Gohan pulled up into her driveway and Erasa got out. "Thanks for the ride, Gohan." She blew him a kiss and winked, causing him to blush madly.

A few blocks from Erasa's home, Gohan capsulized his car. Making sure that no one was around, he yelled out, "NIMBUS!" In no time, the golden cloud flew down to him.

'I have to get rid of this "Gold Fighter" that everybody keeps talking about!' Gohan thought. 'Somebody might match it up with the Cell Games.' He continued this train of thought until he got home.


"Hey mom!" Chi-Chi watched as Gohan entered the room. "Sorry that I'm late." She looked at the clock.

"Look at you; just one day with those 'teenagers' and you're already soming home late," she commented. "Soon you'll be wearing silly clothes!" Gohan scratched his head.

"Okay then." He looked at his watch. "I have to get started on my homework." In truth, he had already finished it in class.

Gohan plopped himself down in his chair and pulled out a tool kit. Removing his watch from his wrist, Gohan set to work.
