Chapter 5- "Feelings?"
Gohan sat at lunch, calmer than he had ever been. Both Videl and Sakura were out with the flu, so no one had to deal with their insane bickering for a week or so. It was getting to be unbearable, every time the group went out, a fight occurred. Every time it came to dances, a fight erupted. There could be only so many "Every times" and there were way too many of those. Erasa came over with Sharpener, it was a pizza for lunch and the lines were always full. Erasa saw the calmness in Gohan's eyes and knew things were good.Erasa smiled, "I hate to be rude but...Thank god they're out for the week."
Sharpener agreed, "Man, I can't take their fights anymore...It almost got physical a couple times...Well, maybe about a handful of times."
Erasa sighed, "Videl just hasn't been the same since Sakura came to this school. They're both nice girls but they're enemies."
Gohan sighed, "I guess you're right, I've had to shut my phone off. It ends up being a two way conversation. I hate it."
Erasa watched Gohan carefully; he was looking straight at Whitney. He often did it when he wasn't supposed to. It left a lot of questions to be answered with their relationship, they were friends but they seemed to be closer to boyfriend and girlfriend stage. A lot of people thought that it was cute when they were together but both denied that they had a romantic relationship. It just wasn't how it was supposed to be but was it going there?
Gohan saw Whitney walk by as he blushed in full view of his friends. Erasa knew it, she could just tell by the way he would act around her. She decided to burst the question open, she liked to see Gohan get nervous and try to lie out of his denial.
"So, Gohan," she replied, "You smile a lot when Whitney is around....Are you guys..."
"NO! Um....No, we're not...I swear...I really do swear....Yeah...." that's what came out of Gohan's mouth, "Um....No....Um....It's not what it looks like...."
Sharpener laughed, "Gohan, you are blushing, there isn't a problem is there?"
Gohan froze, his secret was out. He thought he was totally careless at this point. There was nothing he could do to hide it. Nothing he could do.
Gohan came clean, right away, "Ok...You can't tell the hatred sisters that I have a thing for Whitney, Understand? They'll kill me. Really, they will."
Erasa beamed, "Awwww, that's cute Gohan, you guys should spend more time together."
Gohan sighed heavily, "I don't think that's a good idea, Erasa. Suppose they both find out, I won't hear the end of it."
Erasa seemed a little mad, "Gohan. You let what the both of them do bother you; they fight for you too much. Whitney just waits until it's over then she comes to you. I think she's better off with you."
Gohan's eyes went wide as he blushed further, "Um....Well....She's hot."
Sharpener busted out laughing, "Oh my god, did Gohan say what I think he just said? You're getting there, Gohan."
Erasa smiled, "Don't worry, Gohan. You're secret is safe. We won't tell. We don't need a War Word three going on."
Gohan sighed in relief, "Good. That eliminates what stress I don't need anymore."
Erasa put her hand on Gohan's shoulder, "Relax, ok? Don't stress yourself out."
Gohan frowned, "I wish I could say the same." His head hit the table, "The two of them act like Nicole and Kiki. They need their own soap opera."
Erasa's eyes widened, "You watch that too? Wow, I don't know many boys that watch soap operas, they think it's too girlish."
Gohan smiled a little, "I guess I'm addicted I can't stop watching."
Sharpener almost lost it when he heard about the soap opera. He thought it was weird of Gohan to be interested in that type of stuff but he was. He cooled down; Gohan was his friend so it didn't really matter. He was just glad they could hang out in peace, really that's all Sharpener wanted to do with his friends. Not fight.
Sharpener began thinking, 'I don't think Gohan realizes how bad this is, with that dance coming up, he's not going to hear the end of it.'
Erasa spoke, "You don't think it's good idea if I...?"
Gohan stopped her, "It's your pool party, Erasa. I would highly advise you not to invite both of them. They never stop fighting. Trust me, they don't."
Sharpener sighed, "See? This is what happens whenever we want to have good time, it always get ruined."
Gohan sighed, "This is my fault..."
Erasa patted him, "No it's not, Gohan. You didn't invite this on yourself, you got pulled in. You like Whitney; you don't have in interest in Videl or Sakura."
"I used to with Sakura. Then I changed my mind." Gohan wasn't sure, "I know I don't like her anymore."
Sharpener eye's widened, "Wow, you are in deep, Gohan. I think it's messing with your head, man."
Gohan swallowed hard, "I really don't know what to do."
Whitney came over, "Can I sit here, Gohan? I would sit over there but the table is full."
Gohan began to get nervous, "S-Sure, uh.......yeah.......go.....go ahead."
Erasa giggled and Sharpener smiled widely, Whitney knew something was up but didn't bother to ask. Gohan was looking the other way as he tried to hide his blushing. He looked back as Whitney smiled and waved cutely, Gohan almost fell out of his chair as he tried to remain calm.
It was no use, he just couldn't calm down with her there.
Whitney arched her eyebrow, "Wow, Gohan." She paused, "You never seem jittery like this, I wonder what's going on?"
"N-Nothing, I'm just nervous about my Calculus test....Y-yeah that's it....."
Erasa tried to suppress her laughter, 'Wow, he's not doing a very good job...He's the worst liar in the world....'
Whitney looked at her pizza and realized that she had two slices. Sharpener eyed it carefully and so did Gohan, he just had one but he was in the mood for another one. The two just stared. Whitney began blushing, Gohan was staring at her the most and his smile melted her. She didn't know what to do.
'Give the pizza to Gohan, maybe he'll say something nice about it.' Thought Whitney, 'No, don't. It might be too obvious and they'll all find out.'
Gohan's hand was near it as Whitney's hand sat on top of his. Their hands stayed there awhile as they both smiled then they both yelled out and panicked. Whitney smiled and blushed even further, she was so happy he would try and do something like that to get her attention.
Her blush was in full view, "Aww.....Gohan, how sweet of you."
Sharpener couldn't wait to have his moment, "Ooooooh........Looks like we got a new couple, don't we? How cute."
Gohan laughed weakly, "It was a mistake, guys. Really it was......I put my hand in the.....wrong spot."
Sharpner continued to crack up, "Sure....Yeah, I believe you Gohan. You're the worst liar in this whole school!"
Gohan sighed, 'I can't believe this, caught already. Nice job, Gohan. You thought you could fool everyone.'
Whitney placed the pizza on Gohan's plate. She looked back, "Here cutie, you have it. See you later, Gohan."
Gohan blushed to an even more intense red, ".....Um...Bye, Whitney, see you....Uh..later? Yeah, see you later."
Sharpener couldn't wait to call Gohan out, "She called you, cutie! Gohan, I think she really likes you."
Gohan's mouth dropped, "OH NO! No.....No, this isn't good!"
Erasa nodded her head, "Wow....Three girls.....Gohan you've become quiet the stud muffin!"
Sharpener thought about the situation, "Oh man, things tell me that things are going to be bad, right?"
Gohan raised his eyebrow, "Obviously, I'm in a bigger hole than before!"
Gohan looked out the window. It was true. He was becoming a stud muffin. He had three girls on every side of him. He didn't more than that. He smiled than frowned, he liked Whitney a lot but at the same time it could set off the other two hot blooded girls. Gohan was in a hole so deep that he had to carefully plan his next set of moves more carefully than the moves he already made.
To top it all off, if his mom found out that it was three girls...He could just hear screaming and preaching about safe sex all the time. He was so scared but yet...Gohan wanted to take a risk and date Whitney with the risk of both Videl and Sakura finding out. It felt, good to Gohan. He actually liked the idea, it would be a secret date every time. He started to smile.
"I like this idea..." He said, "What do you guys think?"
Erasa's mouth dropped, "Gohan, this is your choice but what if..."
"Don't worry about the other 2, I can figure the rest out...." Gohan began to smile with cockiness, "Don't worry, this will all work out."
Sharpener couldn't believe it, "Are you kidding me? Gohan this isn't like you...."
Gohan shrugged, "I'll just date Whitney in secret...No...Maybe I need to do things a whole different way...Yeah...."
Everyone was confused, what was Gohan trying to pull? What was his idea?
Gohan had a plan, and this time he wasn't going to get caught. His phone went off.
"Yeah?" He answered, it was Videl. "No, looks that Monday is full....Sorry, and no, Wednesday and Thursday are out."
Gohan hung up the phone, everyone was in shock. His new plan was coming into order.
Funny twist, huh? Looks like something is going to happen.^^ That's Chapter 5, Please R&R
