Chapter 62: An Endanger City and the little Girl that keeps it safe
As I get ready for the new school year, mom reminds me to not forget anything. This time around I figured the perfect route to school, without having to bump into anyone. Also, Bulma was awesome enough to give me a new bike. It's perfect enough that I can go as fast as I want, but enough that people won't question my speed. Also, this time around, I learned what was a normal size lunch, for people not to question my eating habits. Last time I got so many weird looks; it was uncomfortable.
As I enter the school building, I spot Erasa and Sharpner by their lockers. I'm still not sure if I should say hi or something. I actually have half a mind to just walk to my locker, and hope I don't get notice. "Hey nerd boy!" Never mind; Sharpner spotted me. As I walked over to them, I notice that Videl is yet with them. I wonder why. "So, nerd boy, what classes you got this year?" As we shared information, it turns out we have all the same classes this year. What gives? And the worst part of it all, Videl came out of nowhere and took my schedule.
"What a surprise. We got the same classes." And she slapped my back. What is this girl? Man, if Goten didn't jump on my back this morning, maybe that slap wouldn't help as much as it did. And how the heck did I not sense her coming? The rest of the day was uneventful, to P.E class. Usually no teams wants to have me join them, but this time Sharpner volunteered me to Videl's team. Today we were playing baseball. I've read about it, and seen Yamcha play, but I never played. I was so zoned out, till I heard something get hit. I looked up and there was the ball. I caught it, and tried to gently toss it. My gentle needs some work. And everyone gave me weird looks for how high I jumped. Ok, so no jumping too high and staying in the air for too long. Those what normal teens do, right? It's hard controlling my strength, but I'll get the hang of it, eventually.
During lunch, I tried escaping to the roof again, just to be followed by these three. They were kind of surprised on the amount I ate, but I didn't tell them this was just a quarter of my usual. Erasa and Videl ate really small lunches, smaller than what mom eats. Sharpner on the other hand, ate something a bit bigger. It got me wondering, what is a normal size meal for a full human? Bulma and mom eats way more than these two. But maybe case they picked it us with living with sayians. Then again, I never seen 18 or Bunny eat. For all I know, everyone just has different eating habits.
"Earth to Gohan!" That's when I snapped out of my thoughts. "Man, nerd boy. Pay attention. I was trying to ask, if you're gonna join any clubs this year." I looked over to Sharpner.
"Probably not. I don't really got the time, and stuff."
"What you mean?"
"I just have stuff to do after school. Like all my assignments, and extra homework." And helping mom with Goten, sometimes. But I wasn't going to tell them that.
"Come on nerd boy, live a little." He then slaps my back. "Forget those damn assignments, you'll have plenty of time for that afterwards." Oh, if he knew my mom, he would take those words back in a heartbeat. Just thinking about what mom would say gives me the chills.
…
I can't believe this! Mom is making me go to school, too! Why can't I stay home, and play? "Goten, you need an education. So, you're going to school."
"But what about homeschool? Why you change your mind now? Gohan was homeschool all the way till now, so why can't I? why can't I be homeschooled till high school?"
"Gohan situation is different. He was supposed to start school at 3, but things happened. I tried putting him in school at 6, but other things came up. And since you wasn't dragged away from me, and have the closes to a normal childhood. I'm going to make sure you go to school like a normal child."
"But mom! Why can't we wait one more year?"
"Goten, you're going to be 6 soon. You're going to school! And that's the end of the argument!" She continues dragging me through the hallway, of this supposed school building. This is so embarrassing. "Then walk." I rather be dragged than do that. So, onward to my new prison. I hope they have yummy food at least. "If not, I packed you a small snack for lunch. And when you get home, you'll get more food." Aw man! I'm going to be starving like Gohan now! This just sucks big time!
…
I can't believe my boys. For goodness sake. I do everything I can to have them happy. I want my kids to be successful and happy adults. I want what's best for them, and they only think about playing. But I love my kids, and they'll realize one day I'm doing everything for them. They're going to be the death of me. But hey, I'll be happy knowing I did everything I could.
When Gohan and Goten gets home, from their first day, they look like someone took their favorite toy and broke it. When I asked what was wrong, they went on about how school sucks. Goten went on about how loud the other kids were, and he had to cover his ears the whole time. Then how lunch tasted awful. Plus, some kids were being super mean to a girl, for no reason. "Like, she was minding her own business, playing with her dolls. And then this bigger girl just pushed her. It was so not nice! When the mean girl left, I went to check if the other girl was ok. She said how she was used to the other kids bullying her. So, I told the teacher. And don't you believe. The teacher didn't do anything!" Goten kept going on and on how it's not right. And he asked me if he could invite the girl over one day to play.
"I'll see what I can do. What about your day, Gohan?" He looked at his food, then back at us. He told it was ok, and that he should get a head-start on his studies. After I washed the dishes, I head to his room with his favorite snack. "You sure everything was ok, Gohan."
"Yeah mom. Just exhausting is all." Why do I feel he's not telling me something?
"Well, here a snack, and try to get some rest." I kiss his forehead and leave the room. My boys are sure something else. I wonder if those high school kids are being nice to my baby.
…
Not even two months in and already I feel like I learned everything. The only class that are slightly a challenge are English, and PE. English mostly because I can't laugh at what I'm reading. Like come on. Mr. Satan is in everything. And it's hilarious how they idolize him. And when I'm up to read out loud, I had to hold back a snicker to get through it all. Can you blame me? In one chapter they spoke about the Cell Games. I swear, the way they have it written down would even make my dad laugh.
Now PE was a whole different challenge. Not only did I had to hold back, by a lot, I was put into more team activities. All in thanks to Sharpner and Videl taking turns on who's team I was on. I don't know why they fight over who team I'm on. Well more like, whose team I won't be on. Videl hates it every time she gets stuck with me. Well too bad, not like I want to be stuck with you anyway. "Did you say something nerd boy?" Uh? What in the world? Oh, never mind. It was probably just my imagination.
It's finally November! I don't know when or how, but I started keeping track of the days. I was just looking forward to all our off days. Especially since it meant I could sleep in, and just relax in my room. But today was kind of weird. I know Videl is here today, but where is she? Usually she's in class either before me, or we make it to class at the same time. Just then Erasa gets to her seat. She looks over at Sharpner, and asked him, "So, what was it this time?"
"Nothing big. Just some robbers holding up the bank. Videl probably finished by now." I was going to ask what they meant, when a certain blue eye girl ran into the classroom. Once she sat her seat, next to Sharpner is when he spoke again. "So, how did it go?"
"Not bad. It was just some thug forgetting his place." Ok, now I'm just baffled.
"Where did she go?" They all looked at me confused. That's when Erasa had a shock face.
"That's right! You probably haven't even notice, that she even leaves class to help the cops." She then pulls Videl under her arm, and points at her. "Our Videl here, is a little crime fighter. Whenever the cops are in trouble, she helps them out. Our city is always safe when Videl is at the scene."
"Wow. Impressive." I didn't put much though into what happens around here, once I leave school. Maybe I should check it. Mom probably won't mind if I come home a few minutes late or anything.
After class, instead of doing my usual route, I just stood on the roof of the school. I followed Videl's ki, till she was far enough that I could start following her by flight. She so happened to be dealing with another rubbery. Hey, aren't those the same guys I stopped back when I first started school? How they get out of jail? As I watched, I saw how they were shooting, and were aiming at the cop cards. Videl seem to work her way around all the cars, as she tried getting closer to the robbers.
She was able to take the big guy out with one kick. Impressive. She then handle the other two pretty well. But then I saw one with a rocket launcher, aiming at her. This isn't good. I turned super sayian and quickly got the rocket, and left the scene before anyone even saw me. I threw the rocket to the air, and continued watching what Videl was doing. And she deals with this on a regular bases? That's not right. It's actual plain dangerous. Well, maybe I could ask Bulma for some help. Like a disguise or something, so I can help out. At least, when she needs it. Hey, it'll almost be like I'm playing superhero, too. That sounds fun.
Once I see Videl hand over the robbers, is when I finally flew off to Bulma's. When I get there, she just working on another bike. Boy, she just loves her bikes. I then tell her my little situation, leaving out the Videl part, and she agrees to help me. She tells me to just give her a bit, and I go in search of Trunks. Maybe we could play video games while I wait. I end up facing Vegeta, and he's giving a weird look. "Disgusting slacker." Well nice to see you too, Vegeta. As he's about to walk away, he turns to me one more time. He then looks speechless. What did I even do? "You got to be kidding me. Who is she?" WHAT?
"What in the world are you talking about?" He then looks me over one more time, and then walks off. What just happened?
…
That was strange, it felt like someone was watching me just now. How bazaar. Also, that guy with the launcher, he looks like he seen a ghost. Once I handed these guys over, I notice something moved really fast on the roof. What in the world?
