Chapter 2: "Experimentation is the path to enlightenment."
Trunk struggled to stay awake in his second hour class. He already knew the lesson because him and his mom went over it about a year or two ago. He looked at Goten, trying to stay awake. He was looking around the room, eyeing a bunch of girls seated together. He chuckled silently to himself and tried to focus on the government text book sitting in front of him. He read the first line, the second line, the third line. He started on the fourth line and found that he couldn't keep his eyes open any longer. "I'll just rest my eyes for a few seconds." He thought, laying his head in his arms. He was just about to fall asleep when he felt a spark of energy. He almost jumped out of his chair, looking around.
"Is there a problem, Mr. Briefs?" Mr. Locke said, staring over his glasses at him. Trunks looked around and the whole class was staring at him. Goten was stifling a laugh as he sighed, "No, it's nothing."
"Then be a lad, and read the rest of the chapter like the rest of your class mates." The teacher said as he sat down at his desk. He heard snickers from around the room as he settled back into his chair.
"I wonder what that was." He thought, scratching his head, "Eh, I must have been day dreaming." He sighed unsure of himself and turned his attention back to the text book. He'd read the first paragraph when he felt himself falling asleep again. He shook his head and tried to concentrate on the words in front of him. Another spark of energy pulled at his mind.
"Now I know I'm not dreaming." He thought to himself. He looked around the room without making it obvious that he was searching for something. It was certainly no one in the room, they were just simple, plain humans, with the exception of him and Goten. He looked over to Goten, who was drooling on his text book as he snored lightly. He was just about to elbow his friend when Mr. Locke spoke, "Mr. Son!" Goten snapped to attention at hearing his name, "Um, yes sir?"
"Do you find my class that boring?" he said tapping his foot impatiently.
"Um, no sir."
"Then I suggest you focus on that text book in front of you and read the chapter." Mr. Locke sniffled as he pulled out his handkerchief, "Is that clear, young man?"
"Yes, sir."
"Good." Mr. Locke turned around and started scribbling on the board for his next class. Goten cleared his throat and leaned towards Trunks, "Damn man, you could have warned me." Trunks struggled to stifle a laugh, "I was just about to when he noticed." Trunks flinched as he felt the power spark again.
"Whoa, did you feel that?" Goten said, looking around the room. Trunks nodded, "Yeah, I felt it."
"What do you think it is?"
"I don't know." Trunks said, "You think we should alert the parents when we get home?" Goten nodded, scratching his head. They both looked up at the clock as the bell rang. Trunks started shoving his stuff in his bag, then slung it over his back, "Meet me after school, right outside the doors. We'll go tell my parents first, then I'll come with you to tell Goku."
"You think maybe we should call a conference at your house? It'll be easier than flying all over the place." Goten said, hoisting his back pack on his back.
"Sure, as long as we can keep my dad from going at Goku's throat." Trunks said moving towards the door, "Even though he admitted that he isn't as strong as him, he's always looking for an opportunity to show off." Goten laughed at that, "Well, I'll see you in Home Ec. Catch you later." Trunks moved through the door and sighed. He had no clue what that spark of energy was, but whatever it was, it couldn't be good.
xXx
Trunks watched his wrist watch with anticipation. There was only a minute left before the bell rang. Not only was he ready to get home and inform his dad of what had happened, he couldn't stand all these girls staring at him. He got lucky that the choir teacher had been sick that day, but not so lucky that the sub didn't give them anything to keep them busy. He could hear the girls whispering about him and it made him flighty. While Goten flirted mercilessly with anything that walked on two legs and a set of tits, Trunks had almost no interest in girls.
"What can I say?" Goten told him one day, "Experimentation is the path to enlightenment." He never doubted his friends words, but Trunks was a die hard romantic. The woman he wanted had to be special. She didn't have to be beautiful, well endowed, or rich. Kami knew he didn't need a rich girl. While his friend chased after a nice pair of tits and a big ass, he was interested in one thing…..her eyes. He knew that what he saw in a woman's eyes would make her special to him. He was the kinda guy that could get lost in a woman's eyes, swimming in the pools of emotions. He sighed trying to think of what this kinda girl would be like when the bell finally rang.
"Finally!" Trunks grabbed his stuff and quickly left the choir room and made his way to the front of the school. He had to get out of that damned school. He was tired of all the stares and whispers. When the front doors came in sight, he realized he was almost running. He pushed through the doors and noticed Goten not to far away, talking to a group of girls.
"Oh no, please not now." Trunks sighed as he ran up to his friend.
"Hey, Trunks!" Goten waved to him and started to introduce his friend to the group of girls. He at least caught all their names to be polite then elbowed Goten, "We gotta get going, dude. I'm grounded and I need to get home anyways." He turned back to the girls, "I'm sorry, ladies, but we really must be going. We'll see you Monday." Before they could protest, he grabbed Goten's arm and started pulling him away.
"Hey, dude, what gives?" Goten said, almost protesting.
"Sorry, man," Trunks said, half apologetically as he release his arm, "but I've had all I can take of girls today." Goten shook his head, "Sometimes, I swear you're gay."
"I'm not gay," Trunks said, calmly, "I'm just…"
"Looking for that special girl, the one with the pretty eyes." Goten said, mocking him, "I know, I was just giving you a hard time." Trunks playfully punched him in the arm. Goten rubbed his arm and looked around, "Coast is clear." They propelled themselves in the air and began the flight home.
Authors note: Yeah, this one is starting out kinda slow. It'll get better next chapter, I promise! I'll try to post more soon, but I do have kids, so it may take a bit longer than anticipated, so bear with me. Until next chapter!
