Chapter 2

A/N: Well…here's the second chapter…I have no idea how long this story is going to be and truthfully…I don't have much of a plot figured out…so I guess it's just write what comes to mind and hope it turns out good in the end…Hope you like this chapter.


Trunks

I awoke again to the annoying buzzing of my alarm clock, knowing that glaring at the infernal contraption won't turn it off, I hit the off button and reluctantly climbed out of bed. After I showered and dressed, I went downstairs and walked into the kitchen.

"Morning mom, Morning dad." I said still somewhat sleepily.

"Morning dear, how'd you sleep?" Mom asked. The only response I had received from my dad was the normal grunt.

"Fine mom." Truthfully I didn't. That nosey girl Pan had invaded my dreams and I had NOT wanted to dream about her.

"That's good dear…you seem a little tired though…" Of course…leave it to my mom to notice I was tired…

"Nah, I was just thinking…" Okay…I know I am not a good liar…but sometimes I can get away with it…

"No you weren't boy. Don't lie to your mother." This time obviously wasn't one of those times I got away with it…leave it to my dad to sniff out a lie…

"Well…" I sure wasn't going to tell them I had been dreaming about a girl and that had been the reason to keep me up. "I just had a bad dream and couldn't get to sleep…" I hoped that they wouldn't push the subject any further.

Thankfully my sister, Bulla, walked in just then and their attention switched to her. I took that opportunity to leave and I headed off to school. It didn't take me long to get there and once I was there I headed to my first class.

But…I ran into Pan.

"Hey Trunks! How are you today?" I groaned internally and put out a fake smile.

"Fine, and you?" I asked her, not really caring.

"Tired…but otherwise wonderful." That caught me off guard…she was tired as well…did she have weird dreams about me…no of course not…why would she?

"Great…well I must get goin…"

"Hey! Can we eat lunch together again?" Didn't she get the clue I wanted to go. Away. From. Her?

For once though…it wasn't because I hated her…for some reason…I just felt really uncomfortable around her.

Pan

Trunks didn't seem very talkative today…in fact he seemed almost uncomfortable. "I wonder why though?" I wondered to myself.

"We'll see…Well…umm…see ya later Pan." Trunks mumbled before turning around and walking off.

I released a breath I didn't realize I was holding. "Why am I so nervous around him?" I thought. "Probably because I don't know him that well…" I reassured myself before heading to my first class…truthfully I didn't know if I believed myself.

Lunch came around and I had yet to see Trunks since this morning, and I had butterflies in my stomach just thinking about seeing him again…but why did I have them? I didn't think much about them and continued through the lunch line. Once I got my lunch I found Trunks and walked up behind him and tapped him on his shoulder.

"AHH!" He yelled as he jumped from the contact. I jumped from his reaction and stared at him for a moment. "Kami Pan! Don't sneak up on me while I'm thinking…" He shook his head and turned back to his lunch.

I sat across from him and looked at his face to see if he was mad at me. He seemed to be in deep thought and I was…glad that he wasn't mad at me…I was confused though…I had only known him for one day and yet I didn't want him to hate me…I sighed though I didn't realize it until Trunks talked.

"What's wrong Pan? …I didn't mean to yell…I just…you kinda scared me and it didn't help that I had my guard down…" He stopped and shook his head again.

"It's okay…it's just…are you mad at me?" I had to know even though he didn't seem all that mad…

"No I'm not…my father always told me not to let my guard down and now I've seen why." He told me as he smiled and chuckled nervously.

I've never really seen him smile like that before and I noticed how handsome he was when he smiled…PAN! I could not be thinking about these kind of things right now…I don't even know his last name and there is no way I could be crushing on a guy I just met yesterday…is there?

"Umm…Pan?" He asked me with a curious look on his face

"…Yeah?" I replied almost hopeful.

GOODNESS PAN! What is wrong with you today? What could you possibly be hopeful for?

That he will ask you out.

I could feel the blood rush to my face as that thought passed through my mind. There is no way that he could be asking me out…he's like…how old was he? We never exactly told each other our ages so I had no idea what grade he was in…

Trunks

I stared as her slight blush turned into a major blush and I chuckled to myself.

As my father always said, "The female species…such an enigma."

Girls were confusing…one minute they were yelling at you and telling you you were a jerk for something you don't even remember doing and then the next minute they were on the ground crying their eyes out…

"Pan? What's up?" I asked hoping she wouldn't snap and start yelling at (I deal with that enough at home…my parents are crazy…especially my mother…) or start crying because I had kinda yelled earlier…

Her head jerked up to look at me and I saw many different emotions pass through her dark eyes…confusion, embarrassment, hesitation, and…desire? She looked away before I was really sure about the last emotion. I shook my head to clear my thoughts away from a probably misread emotion.

"Nothing much…why Trunks?" She wouldn't look at me and I felt a sort of pit in my stomach…I didn't want for her to hate me…but why didn't I? I barely knew her…I shook my head for the…what…fourth time today.

"I was…just curious…about the blush on your face…" Her eyes snapped up to look into mine and I know there was no way I could misread the emotion in her eyes this time.

It was, without a doubt, anger.

"I'm not blushing you idiot! It's…it's just hot in here…just leave me alone!" She stood up and left the cafeteria, leaving me staring after her and wondering what just happened. I sighed and shook my head…again…I agree with my father.

Females are such enigmas…

Pan

I couldn't believe I just did that! I yelled at Trunks and then stomped away from him…

Oh Kami…he probably hates me and never wants to talk to me again…What am I going to do? I can't exactly walk back in there and apologize…no that would just hurt my pride and I'll seem clingy…No…I'm not going to look clingy to some guy I just met…no…he should be the one apologizing. He was the one who was being nosy and butting into my personal business.

"Humph…If Trunks wants to be my friend then he should come apologize for being such a jerk." I told myself. My mind was thinking that statement was right…but my heart was telling me to go back in there and apologize…after all he only seemed to be worried about me so why did I yell at him? I sighed before heading off towards my next class.

The rest of the school day went by and I didn't see Trunks until we were leaving…well technically I didn't see him…

I ran into him on accident…Funny thing is…I had been thinking about seeing him again when I had rammed into his chest. I looked up only to see his startling blue eyes…I never mentioned how gorgeous his eyes were, they look just like…PAN! I mentally scolded myself and backed up slightly so my body wasn't right up against his anymore.

"Umm…I'm sorry…" I murmured not really knowing if he heard me. I heard him grunt and I looked up at him. He narrowed his eyes at me and turned around and took about three steps before turning his head towards me.

"It's okay…just make sure you watch where you are going next time…okay?" he asked me. I nodded before remembering that I wanted to ask him something.

"Hey Trunks?" I saw him stiffen before turning around to face me, so I continued. "Umm…I was wondering…" I paused…I didn't know why I was so nervous…

"Look Pan…I can't be late getting home today, yesterday you made me late and my dad was ticked off at me so all this week I have to get home and train all day until dinner for punishment…" he trailed off…

"…train? Like Martial arts?" I asked now very curious. He groaned before nodding.

"Yes…martial arts…why are you curious?" I was excited. I liked martial arts and I was actually pretty good at it too. Then a thought hit me.

"HEY! Maybe we could spar sometime. I'm pretty good at martial arts so I'll hold back on you." Trunks started laughing at me and I started to get angry. "WHAT!? You think that just because I'm a girl means I can't be strong?" I asked him angrily.

"No, not at all…I know girls can be strong…my mom scares me sometimes…it's just…I've been training ever since I could walk with my dad who is one of the best martial artists on Earth…so…you don't have much of a chance…" Okay…I learned something new about Trunks…he was cocky.

"Fine, this Saturday at noon twenty miles away from west city. We'll see who is stronger." After I said that I turned on my heel and walked away from Trunks. I turned a corner and froze…

"Did I just ask him out on a date…?"


A/N: Okay well that's chapter two for all ya…I truthfully have no idea how long this story is going to be and what going to happen throughout the entire thing…so…what'd you think of the second chapter? OH! And if you want you can tell me who you want to win the sparring "date". Will it be Pan, the strong and brave, or will it be Trunks, the powerful and humorous. Or maybe it'll be a tie…hmm…see I have no idea what is going to happen so if anyone has any idea for the story they thoughts are very welcome…

I would love to read a lot of reviews…seriously those things are addicting to read and the positive ones help me get motivated to write the next chapter quicker.
