Sorry this is so late. I have thousands of reasons and excuses, but instead I'll just let you read. Also sorry that this isn't as long as the other chapters (I think it's not anyway, I'm to lazy to check).
Chapter 4: SchoolThe years past by quickly. Gohan spent about a month building up Katy's strength and mind until she had enough of both to use ki without killing herself, but she mastered the use of ki in about two weeks. Katy had become a little stronger than Krillin, thanks to the use of the new and improved GR Gohan had made.
Katy managed to get Gohan's house fully furnished after much prodding, and they had some battery run electric appliances. They went to the nearest city via flying quite often, and were soon considered celebrities in the city, after a couple of robber incidents and their never-ending generosity, though they had managed to keep it quiet with a little pleading to the mayor.
Katy eventually saw the extent of Gohan's powers in his normal form, but never found out about his transformations or saiya-jin heritage.
Then they agreed on something that hadn't been thought about for a LONG time. Education.
They both thought it a good idea, though for different reasons. Arikay because she hadn't been with peers other than Gohan in about 5 years, and Gohan because he knew his mother would have wanted him to go to college, and you needed to go to school for at least a little while in order to be allowed to do that.
So, together they went into the city, which was named Arcing, and asked for the best high school near there. Every time, they were told that Orange Star High was the best. However, the townspeople neglected to mention that the great oaf himself sponsored it, and that his daughter went there. They all knew the two's distaste for the man, and had decided that if the two kindest and most powerful people they knew didn't like Hurcule, then neither did they, and they didn't want them to know about the buffoon being the head honcho there. (A.N. Why they didn't, I have no idea. They should have just said a different school. However, I need this for the plot, so screw logic! .)
So they walked into Hurcule City (Gohan cringing at the name), and strolled through the city, looking for OSH in the overly packed town.
After a couple minutes of sightseeing, they finally reached the high school. Just before they went into the school, Gohan smacked himself on the head.
"What?"
"Wait here." Gohan ducked off into an alley.
Hey Dende? Yeah? Um, I need some help. You're trying to enlist in a school, and you forgot that you need papers, money, and parents, am I right? I'm not even going to bother to ask how you knew that Can you help? Yeah, just leave it to me. Get back in there with Katy, okay? Thanks, I hope you know what your doing. Gohan broke off the connection.
As they walked up the steps, they looked at the other teens their age.
Gohan leaned over to Arikay and whispered, "I thought you said that school hadn't started yet."
"Well obviously I was wrong. I'm just as human as you are, you know."
Actually, you're a lot more human than I am. Literally…
Seemingly oblivious to all stares they were receiving from the permanently hormonal students, the two started their search for the elusive main office. After a little help from a girl that didn't seem retarded at all (a rarity in this school, though they didn't know it), they got into the front office and waited for the secretary to get off the phone.
"Wait a sec, hun," the obviously immodest and pretty, but overly-perfumed-and-who-was-definitely-wearing-too-much-make-up lady said. "I got two kids waiting up here, and one of them is hot."
Katy got a little red in the face at this statement about her best friend, but fortunately Gohan just looked confused, not understanding the statement in the least.
"So, what are you doing here, handsome?" she said, completely ignoring Katy's presence. "I don't remember your face, and I doubt I would ever be able to forget it."
Starting to catch on, Gohan coughed and turned a slight shade of pink.
Katy butted her way in front of the embarrassed and harassed looking young man, and glared down at the woman. "We're here to join in the school. By the way, he's only 16, so if you try anything we can sue."
The secretary was completely unimpressed. "Well, if you are going to become a member of this school, you must refer to me as Ms. Herking. However, I doubt somebody like you could get in anyway."
"Any why not?"
"Well first, I don't even see any parents, so your probably orphans, and you need to have some kind of guardian to represent you."
Right on cue, a man and woman walked through the door, a very short man and a very tall woman. Looking over at Gohan, Arikay was confused yet again to find Gohan seemingly on the verge of breaking into a bout of laughter. Elbowing him in the ribs, she stood up a little straighter and shot the secretary a scathing look.
"Well if you'd rather not have us come-," she began, but was cut off when Gohan elbowed her in the ribs right back.
She glared at him, but then she saw the short man wink at them. The two came up, and she noticed that the woman looked extremely pissed off, and the man had an expression similar to Gohan's. Wondering what the heck was going on, she closed her mouth and continued killing the secretary with dagger-like looks.
The apparently married couple looked at the secretary, and the woman seemed to concentrate. Ms. Herking's eyes went blank, and her face went slack.
Then the short man smiled even wider as he slid a large yellow envelope onto the desk, and began speaking to the lady in a lecturing tone. "These two teens are our children, and we have the necessary papers, and the needed money plus a little extra. You know them personally, you are going to refer them as top students to the principal, and you are going to give them the test to be accepted into the school as soon as my wife and I leave this building."
What's he talking about? thought Katy. I've never seen this guy before, and why's he acting as if he controls her?
"Also," continued the odd man with a wicked smirk that almost made Katy wet her pants, "you want Gohan to go out with you, and more, and every time you see him, you will attempt to seduce him. Any questions?"
She shook her head no, and before either Gohan or Katy could do anything, the two disappeared.
Gohan looked up and screamed at the ceiling, "I'M GONNA KILL YOU, DENDE!"
Ms. Herking looked at him and smiled. "Please Gohan, no screaming in school. However, if you come back to my house with me, I let you scream all you want. I know I'll be screaming. Just look at those big hands."
As Gohan and Katy shuddered in horror, Ms. Herking pulled out two extremely thick packs of paper. "Well now you two, time to take the test. You have to get at least a seventy percent score in each subject to pass, and if you get ninety percent or higher you will be accepted into the accelerated class for whichever subject you got it in. Now," she said, standing up slowly, "follow me." She walked away, swaying her hips seductively.
Giving each other a quick glance, the two tried to find confidence in each other's presence. They both failed horribly. Following the creepy middle-aged woman, they could barely hold back their tears.
They walked, mortified, behind her, and entered a small yellow room with only ten desks. Three of them were filled, two with typical blonde girls (A.N. I'm only using that for the purpose of this story. I know many smart, serious blondes, and I have nothing against them), the other with a sneering man, wearing a tank top and ripped jeans.
"Gohan, sit there," she said, waving towards the empty seat between the blondes, "and you sit there," she said to Katy, pointing at the seat in front of the guy. "I'm leaving while you take the test, but be warned, there are cameras set up all over this room, and if you cheat, you will be caught. When you are done, slip your tests into the slot next to the pencil sharpener, and wait until the time is up. You have two hours. Begin." With a final smile at Gohan, she walked out the door.
Gohan looked over the first question, a math problem dealing with the Pythagorean Theorem, and snorted. Are they serious? Geez, I'm further ahead than I thought. Katy must be laughing, too. I drilled her almost as hard as mom would have.
Katy was in fact struggling to contain her laughter.
Gohan finished after half an hour, and Katy in an hour. They settled back into their chairs and sat nonchalantly.
The other three finished their tests with half an hour left, for the teachers made sure to give the kids as much time as possible. The guy informed them that after all the tests were turned in, the teachers turned off the cameras. The two blondes' eyes lit up and looked happily at Gohan.
Gohan wondered why this was important, and then Arikay leaned over and whispered, "Maybe we shouldn't have worn our training gi's."
"Why?"
"Well, they don't exactly hide our, um, fit forms."
Feeling a hand caressing his bicep, Gohan gulped. "Uh oh. I envy you, Katy."
Fending off the man's attempt to pinch her in an inappropriate spot, Katy laughed sarcastically. "Why? I have this freak trying to stick his fingers up my rear. Does that appeal to you somehow?"
Gohan gulped again. "No. I envy you because I can't fight back and you can. How about we protect each other? I can't fight girls but you can, so I'll fend off the guy while you help me keep the girls away."
Katy laughed genuinely this time. "No way. You're right, I can fight back and you can't, for once. This is going to be hilarious."
Half an hour later, the five teens walked out, one blushing to the roots of his hair, one laughing her head off, one nearly unconscious with a black eye, and two with satisfied smiles on their faces.
They all walked out the front door, and the went four different ways, the girls and guy to wherever they lived and Gohan and Arikay to Gohan's house, but not before the two unnamed girls said, "Bye hottie. See you at school. Call us sometime, the two of us are great team workers." With one last look, they jumped into their car.
"Oh, I'm sure you noticed what good team workers they are, didn't you, Gohan?"
"Oh, just shut up."
And there it is. I hope your happy, though I don't see why you would be.
