Gohana was a little bit bored with the lecture that was taking place. She glanced around and noticed everyone taking notes at an alarming rate, as if they were cramming for a final test. She just sighed out of bordome having already learned what was being explained. Although in her mind she kept filling in all the minor details that the teacher was leaving out. So to keep herself occupied, Gohana decided to start doodling in her notebook. She Didn't pay much attention to what she was doodling. finishing one doodle, and instantly starting on the next, she soon was connecting the random things she had drawn into one giant picture. She had to admit it was looking like a rather funny picture.
Erasa took her eyes from her notebook and noticed that Gohana was just making sketches. Well they were better than sketches, and Erasa was impressed at how well her artwork was. "Wow Gohana, your really good!"
Gohana couldnt help but chuckle a little bit as she looked back at her new friend. "Yeah ever since I was three I've had a habit of doodling when I was bored with school work. Especially when it's really easy like this."
Erasa was a little taken back at that last remark. "Easy? How is this easy to you Gohana?" Videl happened to pick up on Erasa's words and was curious as well so decided to listen in as she was struggling in this class. She was still able to maintain solid 80s and 90s marks on all her quizes and tests, but that was a challenge in and of itself.
"Umm, well to be completely honest, I learned this when I was about 6." she answered with a very Son like grin on her face. She did have to admit when she was learning it, it was challenging for her as well so she understood why they would find it hard. But still, to learn this just now. "My mom is, how should I put it?" She thought for a moment to best discribe her mothers view on her education. "Basically the world could be destroyed tomorrow and she'd still make me study." She softly giggled to herself remembering how her mom had tried to get her to study the day before the Cell games, and somehow her father had won the argument and Gohana got to train. S
"What's so funny Gohana?" Erasa asked
"Oh just a funny memory. My mom still insisted I studied during the whole Cell fiasco."
"Wow, you're not kidding! Your mother must really be gun ho about your education! No wonder your the new 'nerdy girl' with perfect scores." Erasa commented. Gohana just smiled and blushed a little at the teasing praise.
For the remainder of class Gohana just doodled away, just making a quick note here and there just about what was being discussed. Eventually the bell finally rang and many of the students eagerly got out of their seats to get away from the lecture. Gohana was putting her stuff back into her book bag, when she heard a groan come from two seats down.
"Um, is something wrong Videl?" Gohana asked confused. Sharpner just chuckled to himself a little bit with his arms crossed infront of his chest. "She just not looking forward to next class. "
Gohana had a puzzled look on her face, which Sharpner found to be rather cute. "Its thats time of the week where every male student gets excited for class. I've never seen any guy late for it, just goes to show how popular it is with the guy's. Every man has a feast with his eye's as they take in the beauty around them! Its-"
"It's swim class." Erasa cut Sharpner off so he would stop being so dramatic.
"Hey, I was having a moment!" Sharner snapped a little at his friend. "How often do I get to have my moments like that?" Erasa just smiled and waved him off. She knew how dramatic Sharpner liked to be when the time was either right, or was too good an opportunity to pass up. Still, she liked to cut him off from time to time as well. It wasn't as if she always did this though, but it was fun to see him so flustered.
"Um, so why is Videl so down? If she's a martial artist, shouldn't she like exercise? Swimming is great for that" Gohana asked rather innocently.
Videl looked back at Gohana a little confused. "You mean to tell me you dont mind wearing a bikini and having guys strip you with their eyes" she asked with a raised eye brow. It was obvious that she was annoyed with the topic.
Gohana instantly though of Master Roshi and Oolong the last time she went to Roshi island for a little beach day with Krillen's family and her's. Well, almost everyone was there really. Even Tien and his family were there. She kept having to be on guard with Master Roshi and Oolong. While they never really tried anything too perverte, mostly just the uncomfortable staring. That didn't stop them, mainly Roshi, from trying to cop a feel from time to time. "Oh, um I guess i see your point." She replied.
"It also doesn't help a bit that Videl usually is the one everyone stares at, guy's and girls. Guys, well for obvious reasons. But most of the girl's are gelous of her figure so usually stare at her to compare." Erasa slighly whispered to Gohana so no one outside them could hear. ''And just between us girls, she's a little self concious about some of her scars.''
They got up and all headed to the gym locker rooms. "Wait a minute guys! I didnt know we would be swimming! I brought some gym cloths, not something to swim in. What should i do?" Gohana asked, having really not even thought of it. Usually at home in the mountian she would just go in her panties and sports bra, if even the sports bra. No one to really see her anyway, except Goten and Raina when they trained with her. She didnt think that would swing well with the teachers showing up like that, even though she never saw a difference between panties and a bikini bottom.
Sharpner couldn't help but try teasing the new addition to their circle of friends. "Then why bother wearing anything?" Gohana's face turned beat red at the though of that. Meanwhile, Videl's face did the same out of anger and punched Sharpner in the arm with almost all the force she had, causing Sharpner to almost loose his balance and fall over. "Hey I was just kidding!"
"Not in front of everyone you perv!" Videl snapped at him. She knew well that he was harmless, and she did trust him completely. But infront of everyone, plus their new friend, he should know better as far as she was concerned.
"Hey, not to worry. I usually have some extras, as does Videl. Well I have her extra's. We usually go swimming on a whim so i have them on me in a capsule. You can borrow something from us! it would be Bikinis though. I hope those are alright.''
Gohana looked at Erasa with a slight funny look on her face. "Thanks but, why do you have Videl's as well?"
Videl decided to chim in so her friend wouldn't exatrate. "Its mostly always her idea and i get dragged. She has mine so i can't use the, 'I don't have a swim suit with me' excuse". Erasa just smiled as they entered the womens lockers. "Oh come on Videl, we always went on a whim when we were little because you love to swim. And you always have fun when i do drag you!"
Videl smiled a bit at her friend and sighed, "Yeah, your right Erasa. Still," she fround, "it's a little different here at school. The guy's here just make it so obvious. At least at the public pools people are more subtle about it." Erasa couldn't argue with Videl, still she personally liked the attention.
Gohana just followed them as they headed to their lockers. ''You can put your stuff in my locker Gohana.'' Erasa offered as she put her combination in. Gohana started glancing around at the other girls in their class. She wasn't sure why, but she was slowly starting to be a little self concious. Videl had just started to change when Gohana noticed that many of the girls keps glancing over at Videl. "Thats one of the reasons I get stared from a lot of girls. They compare their bodies to mine because they think its just my body that attracts so much attention from the guy's. Not to sure how accurate that is." Gohana looked back at Videl and did indeed notice that she looked very fit, and a few scars here and there. Gohana's self conciousness started getting worse. if the girls were jelous of Videls body, she didn't want to know what would happen with her.
Erasa pulled out a small case with multiple types of bikini's in it. Gohana didn't even notice her uncapsule them. "Here Gohana, just pick something you like. Videl's are a little more on the plain side, while some of mine are a mix and match. Some modest, some a liiiiitle more revealing." She said with an emphasis on 'revealing'.
Gohana looked through them quickly and spotted a basic purple suit and grabbed that. Videl had just finished changing and was waiting for Erasa and Gohana. "You sure like purple i take it." She said more as a statement than anything else.
Gohana nodded as she took off her sweater and sneakers. "Yeah, they're the colors of my first teacher. He's like a second dad to me." She said happily.
"Aww thats so sweet Gohana! Is he cute?" Erasa asked.
Gohana though for a moment, not even sure how to answer that. 'Well he's green and has antenai, so hard to really guage that. Plus he's an alien...well then again I'm half alien as well sooo...' "well he has a rugged charm to him, I'll say that. He can be very intimidating though." She asnwered.
Gohana was stalling changing, as she knew full well what was to follow. With her outtings with both her mother and Bulma, she knew that many women would glare at her jelously, as did the men. still, there was no way around it as she would be out infront of everyone in a bikini. 'Ive never cared before, why now' she thought to herself. She finally just grabbed her shirt and took it off. Erasa and Videl both just stared at Gohana, making her slightly nervous.
"The hell Gohana, I would kill for a body like your's!" Erasa nearly shouted i complete shock. Gohana just blushed a bit now, a little nervous to finish changing but did so anyway. Videl, however, was busy tracing her eyes over all the little scars she could see, along her shoulder, along her back, her stomach, she could even make out a few on the curve of her breasts. But she couldn't take her eyes off the giant scar along Gohana's left shoulder."why do you have so many scars!" She asked both shocked and astonished. ''and the hell, your figure! you look like a damn model!''
Gohana was now blushing slightly as she took her sports bra on and replaced it with the bikini top. ''um, thanks I guess. Honestly I have had modeling agencies stop me when I'm out sometimes in the city with my Godmother actually. But I don't want the attention.'' Videl could understand the attention part, wishing people would just treat her normally. That was the exact thing Gohana did that even had Videl at least give her a chance.
Erasa was the one to break the few seconds of acqward silence. "Still, damn girl if I was a guy I'd be all over you right now. Man you really take your martial arts training seriously!" Erasa praised.
It seemed to help Gohana calm down a little bit and just rubbed the back of her head while smiling. Gohana continued to get changed, and she could tell some rumors would be spread about the new 'nerd' in school. Putting her stuff in with Erasa's as she didn't have a locker yet of her own, the last thing the took off was her necklace. Putting it safely in a pocket in her book bag, it had not escaped the eyes of Erasa. "Wow, that looks really pretty!"
Gohana smiled happily, and it was obvious that she was remembering something in her past witht he look in her eye's. "Yes, and its also one of my most treasured posessions. I'll show it to you after class." She said as the warning bell rang. Videl was so preoccupied she had totally missed the necklace. She just kept staring at Gohana's scars, especially the one on her shoulder. Something about it bugged her, like she was forgetting something important. Videl was now a little curious about her. She couldn't place it but she knew she had seen it before.
Jake and his gang were all hanging out in one of the corners of the indoor pool building. They always enjoyed Tuesday, almost as much as they enjoyed Friday. Maybe it even rivaled Firday, as Friday was the Martials Arts meets. But being in a class full of pretty girls in swim suits, what more could a high school male want.
"Yo Jake, that new chick. She said she studies martial arts, she must have a hot bod to go with it! Man i can't wait to see what shes hiding under those cloths of her's"
Jake just smirked, being the high school top dog as he called it, had its perks. "Don't have to wait very long, class starts in just a few minutes anways. Besides, I know her type. Perfect scores, yet insecure about their self image. Girls like that just beg to be around a guy like me. Maybe if I,m lucky I can get a little action again." Thanks to his years of training, many of the girls in his class were always looking at him, especially during swimming class. 'Especially the smart nerdy types.' He thought to himself, until he saw Videl and Erasa walk into the building, followed by Gohana.
Infact, as they started walking towards the class, more and more eyes were their direction. More specifically, they were aimed towards Gohana. This caused the girl to blush a little bit, which many of the guys thought made her look more cute. Gohana wasn't used to being the center of so much attention, at least not like this. She tried walking behind Videl, but being almost a head taller, it was a little bit difficult.
"Fucking shit Jake! Fuckin jack pot with this one!" Kiro, one of Jakes friends, was exclaiming. Jake wouldn't take his eye's off Gohana. "Boys, I think we should have a little chat with her. Should be a fun day if all goes well."
Gohana was feeling a tad nervous with a lot of attention directed towards her. She was used to men staring from time to time, heck even blatent cat calls. But a room full of teenage guys, many staring right at her, she couldn't help but feel put on the spot. Not to mention a lot of the girls were glaring at her. She had never been so glad to hear a bell in her life, except maybe a dinner bell, as the bell to begin class rang. Their teacher walked through the doors, jogging a little bit as she was late herself. "All right class, settle down." She yelled as many students were still talking amongst themselves. She tried again but couldn't get their attention. She finally blew hard into the whistle around her neck, causing the entire class to silence. All except Gohana whos hands covered her ears and it looked like the whistle was slightly painful as she was shaking a little bit. 'Fuck I hate those things!'
"Alright kids, listen up. Seeing as next week is physical exam week, were going to have a little free swim time today. That said, all I want by the end of the class is your 3 man team on the form. Now have some fun, but I expect to see everyone in the pool."
Videl and Erasa looked to Gohana after the teacher dismissed them to do as they wanted. "Hey Gohana, are you alright! it looked like you were In pain for a second back there.'' Gohana realized she must have made it obvious holding her ears and trembling like that earlier. "Oh, yeah. Part of living in the mountians surrounded by woods your entire life, your senses become super sharp. Part of the reasoning behind why I look so fit." She explained. It wasn't a complete lie, just a small fraction of the truth. Still, it was better than flat out lying and Gohana was fine with that. "So what are these teams she mentioned anyway?" Gohana asked as she stood up and went to the pool and sat at the edge with her feet in the water. 'Not as nice as the lake at home, but not bad.' She thought to herself.
Erasa joined Gohana at the pools edge, while Videl just headed to the diving board. "Each year during physical exams, theres a little three person challenge. First place team gets a prize. of coursee everyone also has their individual marks. the top ranked in the schooll, for boys and girls, gets another prize."
Gohana blinked a few times. "Physical exams? As in, fitness tests? But why have a top girls and top girls! that doesn't make any sense.''
"Of course silly! Oh dont worry, im sure you'll do just f-kyaaaa!"
Erasa suddenly vanished from beside Gohana and now stood Sharpner. "Got cha Erasa!" He shouted as he cannonballed into the water right next to her, causing her to shriek at a sudden wave of water coming her way the moment she surfaced. "Oh, darn it Sharpy!" She nearly shouted at him.
"Ah come on Erasa, it was just some harmless fun." He said swimming closer to his friend as he started tickling her.
Gohana watched the two for a bit, Sharpner going after Erasa, Erasa swimming away from Sharpner. Eventually Videl joined into the fray, and both Erasa and Videl were the one's chasing Sharpner. Gohana couldn't help but smile as she leaned back a bit, her arms holding her up as she leaned back slightly. Soon though she could tell someone was standing right next to her, and she knew already it was Jake. "And what do you want?" She asked, wthout even looking at him, sounding rather cold and flat.
'how did she know it was me without even looking! ! !' he thought confused. 'Easy there Jake, remember the plan.' "Whoa whoa, calm down. Im only here to appologize and start back again." He put his hands up deffensivly in an act to seem innocent. Gohana wasn't to sure but she sighed, deciding to at least let him have one more chance. "Fine, sit. You better not touch me again.''
Jake sat down, leaving a few inches between him and her to be safe. "I dont plan on it, I swear. Anyway about this morning. I'm sorry I grabbed you like that. I just really wanted to get to know the new girl." He put on a smile.
Gohana just started at him, not exactly too sure what to think. His energy signiture didn't seem to have any ill intent, so she let him continue. "You know, I'm pretty sure being new could be something of a shock, new city, new school. What do you say after school I show you around town?"
Gohana just shrugged. "Eh why not. I need to get to know the area anyway." Gohana just sighed slightly annoyed, but if nothing else it would be fun to see the city. She decided everyone deserved a second chance, just like Piccolo and Vegeta had.
Jake smiled and nearly jumped back up. "Alright, ill see you at the front gate after school." As he headed back to his group.
Gohana just continued for a few moments to relax her feet in the water, then just dove into the water wanting to have some fun herself with Videl and the gang.
Jake strutted along the pool heading back the the cornor he and his friends occupied. Once he got back he gave them the thumbs up. "We're in." He looked back at Gohana, swimming around happily. ''I'm showin' her around the town after school. shouldn't take too long before I get that hot boddied nerd at my beck and call!'' he said confidently to his buddies.
