Took me a while, haha! ^_^
"I want each and every single one of you to walk around the room and introduce yourselves. I will set up some activities after a few minutes, which you will follow the instructions in your booklet.", the teacher instructed. Everyone stood up as they were told. Goku examined the room; composed of long tables with brand new textbooks, notebooks, and other supplies. The room had a lot of brown, tan, and beige colors, from the walls and floors. The atmosphere was very welcoming and comfortable.
As Goku cluelessly walked, someone grabbed his arm to turn him around. " Hello, I noticed you look kind of lost. Want to talk?", it was Chi-Chi. She invited him to sit down with her and showed a polite smile. After talking to a few people, Krillin came over and once again took a seat next to his friend. With a smirk he looked at the two sitting next to him. He wondered how come girls never came up to him or dated him. "What a lucky dog", he thought, jealously.
"Goku, isn't it and Krillin? I remember both of you from a couple of years ago. At least I know someone else in this stupid class. You guys should sit with me for now on.", Chi-Chi said while only making eye contact with the black-haired teen. Instantly, Goku begin to blush and as a result looked away. Krillin nudged him in the stomach." You're really shy, huh?", she teased. Before anyone knew it, cups were laid out on each table for stacking. Mrs. Tsukamoto also gave each group of students playing cards. She instructed for everyone to open their books and follow the instructions listed.
The instructions were to build using the materials given and the 'team' had to work together to finish the task. Goku, Krillin and Chi-Chi were the first ones to finish." What's the point of this?", Goku whispered. Just at that moment the teacher came over and started to clap. "Job well done. You three will have the option to choose your first project, which will be due two weeks from now.", she explained to the class. The three kids looked very confused because they weren't sure about what just happened. The teacher went into further detail about projects that were to be done over the school year.
"Whoa! Our first project, due two weeks from now?", Krillin gulped. It was only the first day of school and already the teacher was going crazy with work. "Relax, this could be a fun project, depending on your actions. I don't give a lot of written or book based work in this class. As I said, we will work as a team and will think for ourselves. So, I will plan certain things, but it is up to all for you to accomplish set goals.", she explained and went over to her desk.
She came back with a large piece of paper with assignments on them. There were three different options: interview everyone in the group about anytime in their lives and create a presentation for it; creatively write life experiences and what they taught you; or plan an event, record it, and report about any lessons learned during it. The project was worth two whole test grades. For some reason time was flying by fast and by the time she was done explaining, the students had to get to lunch.
"What's the matter, Goku? You're awfully quite today...that's unusual.", Krillin was done grabbing everything from the lunch line. Whatever the food was had a strange smell and was unidentifiable. "Nothing's wrong, I'm just a little overwhelmed, today. Hey, eating that fruit?", Goku appeared cheerful like normal. Being around girls, never bothered him. He was never really interested, even to the many nice girls who came up to him. The most that would happen to Goku, would be him becoming embarrassed at the fact a girl was flirting with him. Chi-Chi seemed to have been changing Goku in little ways, overtime. "You don't seem to sure of that your own self. Sure nothing else is bothering you?", Krillin asked concerned. Both boys turned their heads to see Chi-Chi getting on the line behind them. Instantly, Goku felt sick to his stomach. "Why do I feel so bad everytime I see her? Maybe she has a dicease or something?", Goku thought to himself. He didn't realize that he was just staring. "Oh my, do you have a fever? You don't look to good, maybe a visit to the nurse will do?", Chi-Chi asked while placing a hand on Goku's forehead.
Krillin noticed that his friend couldn't take his eyes off of Chi-Chi, but then again he stared at a lot of people. There were five minutes left until the bells rung and Krillin really wanted to talk to Goku. Nudging him in the back, Krillin pointed toward the hallway. "Listen, I've been noticing that whenever you see her, there is either blushing or staring going on. Is there anything I should know?", he folded his arms, waiting for a response. "Krillin, what are you talking about? I avoid looking at her because she makes me feel funny.", Goku took a seat on a brown bench. "Funny how? Like you want to throw up?", Krillin asked. Goku placed his hand on his chin, it was his thinking time. "Sort of...but it's just a different feeling. I never felt anything like this before. What type of sickness is this?", Goku asked puzzled.
"Are you three sure that you want option three?", watched them nod their heads. "Nice choice, here are some tips to help in case you become lost. The rest of you will wait while I decide what option to pick for your groups.", she alerted the remainder of the class. Chi-Chi, Krillin, and Goku looked at each other with blink faces. A few minutes later the first class of the school year was over.
"Um...do you two mind if I walk with you? Since I don't have anything to do right now.", Chi-Chi smiled and walked in between the two males. They walked into the snack store again, this time they saw their other friend. "Where were you two, I was waiting for you this morning, I'm assuming someone screwed up the timing! Krillin.", Bulma yelled. She inspected the boys and noticed the young female with them.
Not knowing what to say, she gave Chi-Chi a warm smile to make her feel accepted. The younger girl returned the smile back. "Welcome to the club. Chi-Chi, is it?", inside of Bulma's head she was already great friends with Chi-Chi. That's just the way she was since she was a little kid. "Yes, and you are Bulma. It's really been to long since we last saw each other. I know you are good friends with Goku and Krillin. Maybe, we can also.", she said. The whole time, Goku's attention was on her, Bulma happened to catch it this time. "We will.", Bulma assured Chi-Chi and called for Krillin to follow her. Goku and Chi-Chi were left by themselves in the store, they saw all of the students walking around and talking. The wind started to pick up and there were light pink flashes everywhere, made by the beautiful cherry blossom leaves.
"I want to buy candy...", Krillin was cut short. "You can buy that later. Now, did you see what I saw?", Bulma asked, excitedly. "Huh? You mean Goku checking Chi-Chi out? That is the fifth time I saw that!", both of them looked at each other surprised. "Know what that means right, Krillin?", she started to jump around with joy. "Our buddy has a little crush on Chi-Chi!", Krillin shouted. Meanwhile, Goku still wasn't acting like himself. He stood still and looked at the wall. There was a lump in his throat, which was dried, hindering him from saying anything. Chi-Chi walked forward and grabbed his arm. She brought her face closer to his, then rested her head on his chest.
"Goku, can you walk me home? I would feel so much safer with someone as strong as you, by my side. Tomorrow, we can start on the project, because its Friday." Goku's eyes widened in reality of what just happened. Should he push her off and run or try to answer her? No matter what, he couldn't bring himself to do anything.
Just then, Krillin and Bulma walked in and saw the two standing together. Bulma cleared her throat and hinted towards Krillin, that it was time they left. "Bye, Goku and Chi-Chi!", they said in unison. Goku was left to wonder what exactly happened and what he was supposed to do. Watching his best friends leave the store, he summoned enough courage to tell his new friend what was on his mind. Goku looked down at her and that weird feeling came back.
"Su...Sure, I'll take you home. You're just going to to have to tell me where you live, though.", his voice raised up higher. Chi-Chi looked into his beautiful black orbs. She felt like nothing in the world could have hurt her. "Let's go, I will show you what route we have to take.", for a second she thought about holding his hand, but backed off. Just because she felt one way about him, didn't mean that she should rush a situation that she was unsure about. After clearing the store, they walked straight down from the school and turned the corner. It was already quite late, considering that school had ended an hour and a half before, they were only a few minutes away from Chi-Chi's house.
Goku saw a nice-sized house surrounded by a forest of tall trees. Chi-Chi signaled to Goku to walk near the place that was her house. He walked her to the door and turned around to leave, but she stopped him from doing so. Turning him around to face her, she saw the clueless look on the handsome face of his which caused her to become more nervous than ever. "Thank you, I...really appreciate everything you have done today. You don't know how grateful I am that we reunited, again.", she wrapped her arms around his waist to hug him, then she placed a kiss on his cheek. "Um...I'll see you tomorrow, Goku!", Chi-Chi yelled and with that ran into her house. Goku felt really bad, as if he had committed a crime. He rubbed the side of his face and examined his open palm. "What happened? I don't understand why I feel like this.", he continued to look at the door, as if he would get an answer. After a few minutes, he turned around and headed for home, maybe he needed some sleep.
