Krillin's High School Diaries
Chapter 2: Class Programs
Two Counselors sat at a large desk within the school, facing the front entrance, as scores of incoming students filed in and stood in front the Counselors' desk before being handed out class programs. Of course, this forced a long line to be created amongst the large amount of students, as each person awaited their turn, and I found myself standing behind a big, musty girl that constantly looked back at me, giving off a wink each time I took a glance at her. I tried ignoring her best by immersing myself in a conversation with Goku, Yamcha, Tien, Chaozu and Piccolo
"So…guys, uh, know any cute girls around here?" I asked.
Yamcha frowned, "Yeah…there's some, but most of them end up being traitors anyway."
Goku leaned over to my ear and whispered rather loudly, "He's still mad because his girlfriend dumped him last year and dates another guy."
"Gee Goku, can you be any louder?" I sarcastically scoffed.
Goku shrugged, "Okay, I SAID HE'S STILL MAD BECAUSE HIS GIRLFRIEND DUMPED HIM LAST YEAR AND DATES ANOTHER GUY!"
"Hey!" Yamcha protested, "I've let that go, I don't care about Bulma anymore!"
"Who's Bulma?" I curiously inquired.
"My lady!" A mysterious voice spoke up from the crowded line. Its owner, roughly bustling his way through the crowd and into our view, possessed a massive widow's peak and a daunting scowl. He was a teenager roughly taller than me yet had a demeanor and aura about him that made the victims of his inconsiderate rudeness submit to his presence.
"Vegeta." Goku smirked as the teenager into view.
"Alright, which one of you losers is talking about my girl?" Vegeta snarled.
"Ouuuu, someone's awfully protective." Yamcha taunted.
Vegeta, turning his head over to Yamcha, placed a grin on his face, "Oh, is poor baby still crying over his ex-girlfriend? I should've known. Well she's my girl now, get over it!" He chuckled tauntingly.
Yamcha's face turned red, "I could care less about Bulma! Krillin was just asking who she was, that's all!"
Vegeta raised an eyebrow, "Krillin? Who's that?"
I nervously raised my hand, "Uh, that's me."
Vegeta looked at me, "You're a new guy here, aren't ya? Just stay out of my way and keep away from my girl, got that?"
I tensely nodded.
"Good!" Vegeta exclaimed before pushing and shoving his way, this time, out through the crowds of kids.
After taking a sigh of relief, Goku patted his hand on my shoulder, "Ah don't worry about it. Vegeta acts that way to everybody who mentions his girlfriend's name, including me."
"I never got the concepts of relationships, they're so pointless." Piccolo muttered.
"That's cuz you aint never had no girl, P!" Chaozu bellowed.
Piccolo glowered down at Chaozu before grabbing him by the collar and throwing him, overhead, across the crowds, making Tien scream and run after his small companion.
"NEXT!" One of the counselors spoke up.
"Me!" Goku smiled as he walked up to the table, "Hey, Counselor Zarbon, remember me!"
Counselor Zarbon gave an exasperated look at Counselor Dodoria, who sat right next to him, and then back at Goku before placing a fake smile on his face, "How could I forget you, Goku? Your first-year high school credits are every counselor's nightmare. Enjoy your new school year, I have a feeling you might be staying around for quite some time."
I obviously knew that Goku's happy-go-lucky denseness wouldn't perceive Counselor Zarbon's insulting remark and I chose rather to say nothing and let Goku receive his class program then put me next in line.
"Ah, fresh meat." Counselor Zarbon grinned rather insidiously as I stood before him.
"Uhh…yeah, that must be a joke for freshman, right?" I nervously chuckled.
Counselor Zarbon's sneered, "Oh, yes…a joke… of course…" He chuckled with a sly hint of sarcasm that made me feel a bit uneasy, "…but anyway, could I please, by chance, have your name some time today?"
"Oh, of course, my name is Krillin."
Counselor Zarbon sorted through the stack of white-papered class programs and pulled out one, in particular, "Here you go, Krillin, enjoy your first year at Dragon High…if you survive."
"What!" I jolted in surprise.
"Oh, my, my, I'm sorry…didn't mean to frighten you there! I mean just have a good time in school." Counselor Zarbon apologized with an insincere tone.
"Yeah…" I anxiously smiled as I took my program and walked away. Goku was waiting for me at the side of a row of lockers when I finally reunited with him, "Hey Krillin, have you checked your program for which classes you got?" He asked excitedly.
"Just getting to it." I responded as I looked onto my class program.
PERIOD 1---MR. GERO---MATH
PERIOD 2---MR. CELL---BIOLOGY
PERIOD 3---MR. BUU---ENGLISH
PERIOD 4---MR. KAMI---HISTORY
"Hey, we got First Period together!" Goku laughed.
"Who's Mr. Gero?" I asked.
"Ah just the same crazy old guy who failed me last year, especially after I accidentally broke his miniature Red Ribbon Army collectables. Really, really, really ticked him off that day, hope he's still not mad."
We spent the next five minutes waiting for Yamcha, Tien, Chaozu and Piccolo to receive their own programs, as well, and then started down the increasingly crowding hallway in our little group.
"Yo why'd ya do that to me, P?" Chaozu inquired while rubbing his sore head.
"You and Tien's corny street talk is really beginning to get on my nerves, so I suggest that you learn from your first mistake and not address me like the two fake gangsters you are." Piccolo sneered.
"Hey, P, that wuz a diss, yo!" Tien grumbled then punched Piccolo in the face.
"Yeah, boyyy, now that's gangsta!" Chaozu cheered.
I looked at Piccolo, who didn't seemed to be hurt but rather fairly shocked at the sudden blow. However, his demeanor quickly changed and he took off his backpack then began cracking his knuckles.
"Aw yeah, first fight of the year!" Yamcha laughed.
"I didn't want to do this to you two…well actually, I did." Piccolo spoke before generating a massive amount of energy into his palm with the notion to fire mercilessly upon Tien and Chaozu. By then a crowd had began to gather but the ring of the second bell quickly dispersed everyone to their respectable classes and ended the fight before it could start.
"Man!" Yamcha expressed his disdain before rushing off to his own class.
"I'll deal with the both of you later." Piccolo muttered then picked up his backpack and walked away.
"Aiight, P, we'll get to ya later!" Tien bellowed.
"Yeah, boyyy!" Chaozu added.
Goku tapped me on my shoulder to release me from my gazing trance over the short-lived event, "C'mon, let's go Krillin before we'll be late!"
