The Difference between Me and You

Disclaimer: I don't not own DBZ I think everyone knows that so why do we have to keep writing it

"Vegeta? I'm sorry I didn't knock, but you need to get ready for school?" his mother said standing near the door just in case her son decided to snap.

Vegeta opened his eyes. His face hurt like hell and so did his stomach.

"You can leave woman." He mumbled as he sat slowly up in his bed. Catilla nodded her head and left as silently as she came. Vegeta swung his legs over the edge of the bed and stood up and stretched.

"Ahhh fuck!" he winced. He went to his bag to go get his bathroom stuff and a towel to take a shower. The other night he had found out that his bathroom was located in the same small hallway; he had never noticed that door until then.

Twenty minutes later Vegeta was ready to go. He had thrown on a Moss football jersey and some clean ironed pants and some nice white Air Force Ones.

"Vegeta you ready?" came the voice of his step brother from the other side of his bedroom door.

"Come in Kakarot." Goku walked through the door with a sheepish look on his face.

"I just wanted to apologize for last night. I couldn't sleep a wink just thinking about how my friends acted. I didn't think it would be such a big deal. I guess I forgot sayains aren't really welcome here." Goku said sadly.

"I didn't know my race mattered either." Vegeta grumbled. "Let's just get out of here and get to school."

The School

Goku lead Vegeta to the front office so that he could get a class schedule.

"I'll meet you by my car for lunch" Goku told him as he walked off to his homeroom. Vegeta watched Goku go down the hall and turn a corner before he walked into the office. As soon as he stepped foot in there the whole office got quiet as everyone stared at him. Some people whispered and others glared. 'Great this whole city is prejudice.'

"You must be Vegeta Ouji Jr.? We heard about you coming here." the secretary said rudely. "You need to sit right there; the principal will be right with you." Vegeta walked over to where she had indicated for him to sit. Two students that were sitting there quickly got up and stood on the other side of the room. Vegeta sighed deeply.

"Hey Goku, over here." ChiChi called to her boyfriend. Goku walked slowly to a desk right in the front of the room. Usually he sits in the back next to ChiChi; but today he sat in front of his friends. Everyone looked at each other confused.

"Goku what's up?" Krillin called to his buddy. Goku didn't reply so ChiChi stomped her way up to where the sulking teen sat.

"What the hell is your problem? Why are you sitting way up here?" ChiChi said angrily. Goku didn't even look at her.

"ChiChi go away." He said with a wave of his hand. ChiChi gasped and turned bright red.

"Goku how dare you..." she started.

"Are you dense? Leave me alone." He barked. ChiChi walked back to where the gang sat.

"Oh my Kami. What's his problem?" Juu asked as her friend sat down with hot tears rolling down her cheeks.

"That sayain bastard has already corrupted my Goku." She spat. Bulma just watched the scene with her head resting on her arms. Since last night she couldn't get the sexy sayain out of her mind. She was taught to hate his kind; but she couldn't bring herself to hate him. The door to the classroom opened and the boy that haunted Bulma's mind came walking through the door with a scowl on his handsome face. Goku smiled at his step brother.

"Come sit here Vegeta." He said happily. Before Vegeta could move ChiChi ran to where Goku sat.

"Goku it's either me or him and you can't have us both. Are you going to throw away our relationship for this savage?" she asked. "We've been together since middle school and friends since diapers."

Vegeta couldn't take anymore insults. He had been insulted since he stepped foot in this horrid city.

"Look bitch...you have one more time to disrespect me. I haven't done anything to you." Vegeta snarled from where he stood by the door.

"Vegeta calm down." Goku said standing up. "And watch your mouth when you speak to her." Vegeta couldn't believe this. Goku was turning on him now. Vegeta folded his arms across his chest; he was so pissed off.

Goku had to think fast. Did he want to lose his only love over some guy he just met or did he want his step bother's trust and friendship. Maybe they could be friends on the down low. 'Yeah that should work.' He thought. 'I'll just pretend to hate him.'

"Come on ChiChi...you think I would throw our love away for him?" Goku asked glaring at Vegeta. 'Please forgive me brother.' Goku pleaded in his head. ChiChi smirked evilly at Vegeta.

"Please have a seat Ouji." The teacher instructed. "Sit right in the front so I can keep my eye on you. Okay class welcome to Calculus." Vegeta looked back at Goku who avoided his glare and then laid his eyes upon Bulma who smiled at him sadly.

Later on at Lunch

"Don't you think we should at least invite him to eat with us?" Goku pleaded. His friends shook their heads.

"I think we should." Bulma said matter of factly. "He hasn't done anything to us. Plus who would care."

"Everyone!" Juu shouted.

"What are you bitchin' about Juuhachigou? Your favorite cousin is half sayain too." Bulma shot back. Juu held her head down in embarrassment. "I'm going outside to talk to him." The pretty teen got up and walked out side to where the lonely sayain sat. Vegeta was sitting on a bench with his back facing the cafeteria staring blankly at the student parking lot.

"Ummm...Vegeta?" Bulma asked softly. Vegeta never stirred or turned around to face her.

"What do you want girl?" Vegeta mumbled. "If you're here to ridicule me you can just go back to hell where you came from."

"Look I know your first day must be hell..." she started but was cut off when his black glare met her blue gaze.

"You will never know what I'm going through." He spat. "Shouldn't you be in side talking behind my back and starring at me like I'm some monkey in a zoo? Sort of like you did at the Burger joint."

"I'm sorry about that." She replied softly.

"How would anybody know I was sayain besides the bronze color of my skin?" He asked her returning his gaze back to the parking lot.

"Well they sent letters home to our parents over the summer warning us of what was coming to our school." Vegeta glared at her when she referred to him as 'what'.

"I am a living being like anyone else in this fancy hell hole." He growled at her.

"Yes you are. I meant who was coming...and Yamacha's dad works for the police station...so that's how he knew you were sayain...the whole city knew of your arrival." Vegeta sucked his teeth in a disgusted manner.

"You can leave." He stated blandly. Bulma moved slowly away from him and began to walk away but then stopped.

"Vegeta you can talk to me if you want...I don't care want people think." She said to his back. Vegeta didn't respond so she walked back inside.

Last Period

(A/N: I'm going to bounce around periods when ever they are in school

because I don't want to spend a lot of time in the school scenes)

Vegeta slammed his fist into his locker hard. He had never been treated so badly in all his life. His teachers treated him like he was dumb; when actually his IQ was that of a genius. Girls, he knew, were drooling over him but when he would catch them looking at him they would throw their noses in the air and call him names. On his way to his locker a huge football guy actually had the nerve to spit on him. It took everything in Kami's name to keep him from killing that guy. Vegeta laid his forehead on the cool metal locker. His step brother had been there when he was spit upon. Vegeta had looked at Goku but he never met Vegeta's gaze and to his surprise, Goku was actually laughing along with everyone else. He sighed deeply and began his journey to gym class.

"Bulma the cafeteria was talking about you at lunch." ChiChi whispered to her friend in their history class.

"ChiChi I'm really not trying to hear what you have to say. He hasn't done anything wrong but being born a different race from us." Bulma whispered through clenched teeth. She didn't know her friend was so hateful.

"I'm warning you Bulma...stay away from him. I'll tell Yamacha if you don't. You know he practically runs this school." She sneered up her face evilly. Bulma couldn't believe this was the same girl that had been her best friend since forever.

"Fuck you ChiChi." Was all the lavender haired teen said before she got up and moved seats.

Vegeta walked into the gym and as usual all eyes were glaring at him. Vegeta walked over to go sit on one of the bleachers.

"Where do you think you're going monkey?" Yamacha asked. Vegeta glared at the boy who had ruined everything from the start. Vegeta didn't answer he just kept walking and sat down on one of the bottom bleachers. Of course people moved and as soon as they did a group of Yamacha and his football friends gathered in front of the young sayain. Vegeta was getting real tired of this shit; so he stood up.

"Oooooo he stood up. We're real scared." One of Yamacha's cronies mocked.

"I heard at lunch that you're trying to get in good with my girl." Yamacha said smirking at Vegeta. Vegeta had no clue who the hell he was talking about.

"I don't know who the hell you're talking about." Vegeta said calmly. The group of boys laughed.

"I think you do," he said "she has long lavender hair and the prettiest blue eyes in the universe. If you get close of enough, which you won't, you can tell she has a little lavender mixed in with the blue." Yamacha said smiling to himself.

"Bulma? She's nothing to me." Vegeta replied. At that statement Yamacha swung and hit Vegeta in his chin. He staggered back and fell into the bleachers. The whole gym broke out into laughter. Vegeta's eyes darkened menacingly and he quickly got up and started fighting Yamacha with all his pent up anger from the whole day.

"Somebody go get the campus police he's going to kill him." A girl yelled. A boy ran out the door. The gym was silent except for the sound of Yamacha's screams and Vegeta's fist colliding with his face. When the officers arrived Vegeta was on top of Yamacha pounding the hell out of him. The officers quickly pulled Vegeta off of the bruised up Yamacha, and put him in cuffs. They then sprayed him with mase for no reason.

"Are you okay son?" one of the officers asked Yamacha as soon as he got to his feet. Yamacha nodded slowly. His face was all bruised and so were his arms from trying to block Vegeta's punches.

"Let's go you little rebel. We're going to the principal's office." The other officer holding Vegeta barked.

After School

"Hey did ya'll here about Vegeta and Yamacha?" Juu asked. She and Krillin came running full speed towards Goku, ChiChi, and Bulma. The three friends shook their heads.

"Vegeta beat the hell of Yamacha just a while ago in last period gym." Krillin said quickly. Goku paled; if his father ever found out what happened, Vegeta's life would be over.

"Where is he?" Both Bulma and Goku asked in unison.

"Yamacha's in the nurse's office." Juu replied. They both shook their heads.

"Not him. Vegeta." Bulma said. Everyone looked at her oddly.

"You're asking for trouble Bulma Briefs." ChiChi said coldly. "Your boyfriends in the nurse's office and you're worried about some outcast?" Bulma ignored her friend.

"Come on Goku...go get Vegeta and I'll check on Yamacha. Happy you little bitch." Bulma replied nastily. ChiChi was smiling until she heard her friend insult her. Before ChiChi could say anything her boyfriend and her best friend were gone. Goku went to the principal's office to look for Vegeta.

"Hello Goku sweetie can I help you?" the secretary asked sweetly.

"Umm...I'm looking for Vegeta Ouji." He asked while looking around the office.

"Oh we called your father. He came and picked him up before school got out." She said nonchalantly. Goku paled at what she said.

"O-okay thanks." And he quickly left out the door. He had to get home quickly. Vegeta was at home with his father alone. He knew his mother was out shopping and wouldn't be home till later.

Vegeta's eyes were red and swollen from the pepper spray. Everything he saw was blurry. Bardock got out the car and went around and pulled Vegeta out the passenger side. He knew Vegeta couldn't see well but he pushed him up the stairs anyway. Vegeta fell and busted his forehead on the top stair to the door.

"Get up you filthy scum." Bardock barked and pushed Vegeta inside the house. "So you want to fight in school do you? You like to fight? Well fight me." He yelled pushing Vegeta into a wall. He felt sick; his head was bleeding and he couldn't see.

"I don't want to fight you." Vegeta said strongly even though he felt like passing out.

"You have me called off my job. Do know how embarrassed I was to hear that the filth that lives in my house beat up the police Sergeants son?" Bardock yelled loudly making Vegeta cover his ears. Bardock saw the golden opportunity to kick Vegeta in his stomach which he did. Vegeta yelled in pain and fell to his knees. Now he really felt like he was going to pass out anytime. He felt too weak to fight back; pain was searing through his head and his whole body. He was just going to let Bardock get his frustration out; his time to kick the older man's ass would come soon enough.

"So you don't want to fight back do you?" He asked as he walked over to where Vegeta knelt holding his head. Vegeta tried to look up to see where the man had gone because it got eerily quite. Next thing Vegeta knew everything went black as Bardock chopped him in the back of his neck. "Next time I'll kill you sayain." Bardock growled at the unconscious boy.

Goku pulled up in his driveway and hopped out the car. He saw blood on the top stair to the door. He quickly ran inside to see his father pulling Vegeta's limp unconscious body around the corner to Vegeta's little room. Goku shook his head sadly as he saw one of the maids quickly come clean up the sayain's blood.

"Poor Vegeta..." Goku whispered to himself as he climbed the stairs to his room. As soon as he got to his door his phone rang. It was Bulma.

"Hello?" Goku asked wearily. He didn't feel like talking to anyone right now.

"Goku it's me Bulma...how's Vegeta." She asked concern apparent in her sweet voice.

"Not too good I guess...I haven't seen him yet." He replied sitting slowly on his bed.

"Oh...I found out that Yamacha hit him first. I broke up with him." She said. Goku just nodded his head even though he knew Bulma couldn't see him.

"What for? People are going to think you broke up with him for Vegeta." Goku said plainly. There was a slight pause before she answered.

"Goku...I did." She said and then he heard a click. Goku placed his phone back on the charger. Bulma was asking for trouble; but then again she always was the ruthless one out the group.

Okay what do you think? Well enjoy and review!
