DISCLAIMER: If I owned Dragon Ball, I would probably be producing new episodes for the anime, not writing fanfiction :D
CHAPTER 2 - FIRST SCHOOL DAY
"Goku, why don't you show them the rooms where everyone will be staying?" Tights asked. In fact, it was more of an order than a question.
''Right!" The boy exclaimed with a silly smile on his face and took two bags. ''Follow me.''
''Wow, he's strong'', 18 whispered just for her friends to hear and Bulma agreed.
''I don't know, that boy looks like kind of silly", Chi Chi shrugged and the four went up the stairs.
"Tights and Mrs. Briefs have been talking a lot in the last few days," said Goku.
''Oh really?'' Bulma asked. ''About what, exactly?''
''About you. I think mrs. Briefs wanted to make sure that you would feel comfortable here...''
"It looks like your mom, B!" Chi Chi said in an amused tone.
Bulma was going to say something, but Goku interrupted her.
''Here!" They stopped in a hallway with four doors. ''Tights told me to remind me that 'the one with the blue hair is 1, the brunette is 2, the blonde is 3 and the boy is 4' "
''It must be the order of who gets what room'', 18 commented.
"Yes! It looks like the rooms are personalized", the spiky-haired boy said, smiling.
Goku left the bags in the hall. ''Anything, call me", he went down the stairs and the others went into their respective rooms.
The first room, Bulma's, was white with a central royal blue wall and had a white bed with luxurious royal blue sheets. Beside the bed was a small glass table with a lamp, and on the wall were some pictures.
The room itself didn't impress Bulma much, but she was surprised to notice a picture of her favorite band above her bed. It was identical to what she had in Japan.
Chi Chi's room, the second, was extremely cute. The walls, pillows and bed were orange and white and there was a plush, neutral-colored carpet all over the floor and a few teddy bears on top of the bed.
"Wow", the brunette murmured.
The 18's room was dark green and the bed sheet had a camouflage print that she liked a lot.
"It's not that bad", the blonde smiled when she noticed a punching bag hanging in the corner of the place.
Everyone had been busy with the move all day and could only finally rest at dinner time.
''I didn't understand why 18 has a punching bag and I don't'', Yamcha pouted down the stairs. ''The room is cool. It's my favorite color, yellow, and has some really cool posters, but a punching bag is missing!''
''Okay, we get it!'' Bulma snorted with all the useless drama her boyfriend was doing.
The four arrived at the dining room and saw Tights, Goku and another spiky haired guy who must have been Tights' boyfriend.
"Hey, sit down!" The older blonde said and the four did as she said.
''Can we eat now?'' Goku whimpered.
''Be patient, Kakarot", the long-haired guy snarled and Goku mumbled an apology.
''This is Raditz'', Tights introduced him and he just nodded slightly at the youngs. Bulma, Chi Chi, 18 and Yamcha did the same.
"Kakarot?", Bulma asked.
"Yeah, that's my name", the boy smiled. "But call me Goku, I love that nickname!"
''Here it is!'' Tights said, carefully putting a bowl on the table, making Goku almost drool.
The other days at Bulma's sister's house were very tedious as Tights barely let the kids out. The girls sometimes even managed to go to the mall, but they always ended up being listening about "they don't know the city well enough to walk alone." But on the bright side, Bulma, Yamcha, 18 and Chi Chi became friends with Goku and also with another boy, Krillin, who was Goku's best friend.
''So you guys have like a little group of friends and spend all the time together during school?'' 18 asked, lying upside down on the couch. The guys was in the room talking about the school.
''It's like that'', Krillin explained. ''We only split up during classes...''
''We also had a little group in our old school'', Chi Chi said thoughtfully. ''Apart from us, all the others were fake bitches and just hung out with us to be more popular.''
"Modest, hm?'' Bulma scoffed, making the brunette snort.
''What day do classes start again?'' Yamcha asked, using his cellphone, completely uninterested in the conversation.
''Tomorrow'', Bulma said and laughed when she saw a startled look on her boyfriend's face.
''Already?! I had completely forgotten!"
The morning of the next day was quite hectic. Waking up, getting ready, having breakfast, going to school, getting books and class schedule... Bulma was already tired and missing her vacation, and look, the day had barely started.
"Wow", Chi Chi muttered as she watched the hallways of his new school. She had already studied at quite fancy schools in Japan, but definitely none of them could compare to this one.
"You already said that", 18 laughed and opened her locker. "Did you guys check your schedule yet?''
"Yes", Bulma said as she put away some books. Coincidentally, Bulma's, Chi Chi's and 18's lockers were side by side. "My first class is English."
"Mine too!" Chi Chi shouted happily and exaggeratedly.
"Math", 18 pouted as she showed her schedule to her friends. "This is the first day of school and I'm sick and tired of this place."
Bulma laughed at her blonde friend's drama. "I think we'd better get going, we don't want to be late on the first day of class."
"Potato, potato", 18 shrugged and soon after said goodbye to her friends, going in the opposite direction.
The two girls walked through the halls until Chi Chi pointed to one of the rooms.
"It's here", the two entered.
"Hello, welcome!" A rather nice girl said. "You are new to school, yes?"
"Yes, we are", Chi Chi smiled. "By the way, my name is Chi Chi."
"I'm Bulma", the blue-haired smiled too.
"My name is Launch, I'm the representative of the room", the girl introduced herself. "You can choose one of the seats that are empty and sit down."
"OK", the two girls said and went looking for places to sit.
Unfortunately there weren't many empty seats, so Chi Chi and Bulma couldn't sit together and not even close to each other. (A/N: imagine the desks are those of two people, right?) Chi Chi sat in the first desk in the row and Bulma sat in one of the last desks.
"Good morning, class!" A lady of about 50 years old entered the room. "I am mrs. Stan, her English teacher", she wrote her name on the board. "Open your books to the front page and read the text."
At that moment you can hear several groans and complaints from the students, but soon everyone was silent when they heard a loud noise.
"Sorry teacher, I just tripped. You can continue with the class", a boy standing at the door said, scratching the back of his neck. Chi Chi and Bulma recognized him immediately. It was Goku. Behind him was another boy who the girls didn't know.
"Mr. Son, mr. Ouji, come in now", the teacher said in a not good tone and the boys came in and sat down. "Can I know where you were and why your clothes are dirty?"
"It's just that Vegeta called me for a quick fight before the bell and, you know, I couldn't refuse!" Goku said innocently.
"Shut up, Kakarot!" The shorter guy growled.
"You two, always getting in trouble", mrs. Stan took a deep breath. "I'm just not going to punish you because it's the first day of school and I honestly don't have the patience to put up with you."
"Thank you so much, ma'am!" Goku smiled. "Oh, Chi Chi! I didn't even realize I was sitting next to you!"
"Oh, hi", the girl said indifferently and continued her reading.
"These two are really crazy", Bulma heard the boy sitting next to her say.
"Goku said they were fighting", she decided to strike up a conversation. "Like this?"
"Fighting, huh", the boy said. "Those two are the best in the school fight club!"
"Fight Club? Cool."
"Yeah", he muttered. ''Do I know you from somewhere?"
''I'm Bulma", the blue-haired one said.
"Bulma Briefs? Bulma Briefs from Capsule Corporation?"
"Yes", she laughed at the boy's reaction. "And you are...?"
"Tien", he said. "Nice to meet you".
"Mr. Radnor, Miss. Briefs, silence, please", the teacher scolded, making Bulma snort.
18 arrived late to class, was scolded by the teacher and even had to sit next to Yamcha for lack of empty seats. It's not that she didn't like him, she just didn't think he should date Bulma.
"Boring class, right?" He tried to start a conversation because otherwise he would die of boredom, but 18 simply pretended she hadn't heard and continued doing her task.
"I found out that this school has a fight club", this time Yamcha managed to get the girl's attention.
"Seriously?"
"Yes. Goku told me. I'll try to sign up later."
"Hm", 18 pressed his lips together trying to suppress the fantasy of hitting Yamcha and other people she didn't even know. She went back to her task, but she kept thinking about that fight club. That's when the signal snapped her out of her reverie.
"Students, you must deliver this activity in the next class", the teacher said and dismissed the students, who left the room quickly.
"Oh, I can't believe I'm going to spend this class alone", Bulma sighed because none of her friends had math with her at that time. She took a deep breath and sat down on one of the desks.
After a few minutes the class started and the girl was more interested in making doodles in her notebook than paying attention to the teacher's explanation.
"Miss Briefs, it looks like class is seeming boring to you", the teacher said with a straight face. "Should I assume you already know this matter?"
"Actually", she shrugged, "it's pretty easy. I can solve things much more complicated than that."
"Right", the teacher felt challenged and wrote an equation much more complex than the previous one on the board. "Can you come and answer, please?"
Bulma just got up in silence and, after thinking for a few seconds and doing two or three calculations, put the answer on the board. She gave a superior smile and walked slowly to her desk again. Luckily she was really good at math.
"Oh my gosh", a voice said before the teacher could say anything. "A cocky nerd!"
The girl was surprised to realize that the voice was that strange boy who had entered the room with Goku in English class. She hadn't even realized he was in this class.
"Annoyed that I'm smart and you're not?" She immediately retorted.
"Smart?" He laughed with derision. "Even a monkey could solve that equation."
"Then come here and do better!" She practically yelled that part, which was the end of the line for the professor.
"Silence!" Both were facing each other furiously at that time.
"Miss. Briefs, your answer was correct, but it's not because you already know a subject that you should ignore classes. You, Mr. Ouji, almost failed the previous year, so don't get in trouble, because you need to pay attention to this content more than anyone else."
"Write something on the board and I'll answer", Vegeta said indifferently as he played with his pencil.
"What?" The teacher narrowed his eyes.
"Write an equation on the board and let me solve it", he repeated.
Mr. Templeton just took a deep breath and did as the boy asked. He knew Vegeta very well and knew the teenager wouldn't leave him alone if he didn't do as he asked.
Vegeta rested his head lazily on the chair and answered the question, without even doing the calculation.
"It was easier than mine", Bulma pouted, but Vegeta pretended he hadn't even heard her.
I joined two chapters and edited! it got better than before, at least XD
I hope you enjoy
Love, peace, empathy, K.
