This highschool story, if i haven't mentioned, revolves around Vegeta and Bulma mainly but also with Goku and Chi chi. I just wanted that information to be cleared. I hope this story is a good read for you.
Chapter 5: Secret
Bulma was the last to enter the gymnasium, with Nappa following behind. She was happy that Dr. Briefs chose Health Physical Education as one of her subjects. He knew how important fitness was to her. She managed to make it through her first class without any hassle. No one mentioned anything about yesterdays events. She thought it was due to Nappa's presence. But turns out no one really cared much about it. Because it involved Vegeta's high-maintenance girlfriend.
Bulma took a seat on the back of the bleachers. Leaving Nappa to stand up front next to the teacher. His arms were folded over his chest as he scanned the group of students in front of him. They seemed to be frightened of him as they left a gap between themselves and her. But of course it didn't bother one student, or few. Goku stomped his way to the back hand in hand with Chi Chi, following behind them were 18 and Krillen.
"Hey what's up Bulma." Goku smiled.
She rolled her eyes at his cheery tone of voice. "Good morning Goku and." She was unsure if his companion was still mad with her.
Chi Chi frowned slightly at her uncertain expression. She realised what the problem was and gave her a small smile. "Excuse my behaviour yesterday. I'm so sorry for yelling at you, being your first day and all. I haven't been myself for a while and I guess mood swings is a symptom being a teenager?" She laughed nervously. "I hope we can be friends?" She raised her brows in hopes for a positive answer.
Bulma hesitated a few seconds before replying. "Yeah why not. I guess."
"Cool. Well let me introduce myself properly. My names Chi Chi." She said reaching her hand out.
Bulma held her hand in hers and shook it. "Its Bulma."
Chi Chi smiled taking a seat next to Bulma. 18 sat on the other side of her. While Goku and Krillen took their seats on the next row in front of the girls. Giving them space to gossip.
"So how are you liking your second day so far Bulma?" Asked 18.
She shrugged her shoulders in reply. She wasn't much of a talker. Silence was what she preferred. Looking at Nappa she noticed he wore a smirk on his face, silently laughing at her no doubt. Bulma scowled "I don't know yet. It's Ok I guess no one is bothering me today for yesterday." 'There I fucking said something' right on cue his smirk grew into an all teeth smile 'Jerk' thought Bulma. Yet surprised that Nappa was actually smiling, an abnormal expression from his usual scowl.
"I am not going to lie I hate this fucking school." Spoke 18.
"Don't listen to her she hates everything." Said Chi Chi, glaring at her friend.
"Whatever." 18 wrapped her arms around Krillens neck. While resting her chin on his head as he sat in between her legs.
"I'm with 18 this school blows." Said Krillen.
"Well my advice to you Bulma. Is you can only enjoy school more if you make friends." Chi Chi smiled "And I can help you."
Bulma stared at the raven haired girl 'This is what the Briefs wanted me to do. To make friends. Well here's my opportunity.'
"That'll be helpful. Thank you."
"Great. I can feel a good friendship building already." Chi Chi winked.
Chatter began erupting in the gymnasium as more students began entering on the second bell. "Ok class settle down." The teachers eye twitched in annoyance when the voices didn't cease on his command. He yelled over the top of them. "I said settle down!" The voices were immediately terminated. And all attention was on him.
"Good. Now that you little maggots have finally quieted down. We can begin. First i'll call your name out and you answer here. Do I make myself clear!" He shouted, though no student spoke on his command, but one.
"Yes sir!" Bulma stood up quickly. Her posture straight and her arms to the sides of her body. She answered strongly, and not a second later. Everyone including the teacher gaped at her. Except for Nappa he expected her response.
"What's your name lil lady?" Asked the teacher.
"It's Bulma Briefs, sir." She said while looking directly to the front. Her eyes quickly landed on Nappa. She noticed the proud smile on his face before staring still in the distance.
"Bulma Briefs. My name is Mr Lieutenant; basketball, baseball and football couch of West City high. And also ex-army sergeant. But you can call me Tenant." He smiled. "For the rest of you slack maggots. As punishment for not responding quick enough you will all give me 20." Moans were heard as the students moved slowly to the center of the gym. They fell to the ground, and each one began counting their reps. "You worthless maggots could learn a thing or two from the lovely Miss Briefs." He winked at her.
Bulma blushed, thrown by his unexpected comment. Making her uncomfortable she sat back down waiting for the rest of the students to finish their reps. Nappa's disapproval look went unnoticed by her as he glared at the teacher.
Goku was the first to finish as he made his way towards Bulma. Taking a seat next to her. "Wow I have never seen anyone impress Mr L, but Vegeta." Said Goku. He stared at his girlfriend who was struggling with her 3rd push up. Bulma didn't reply, she was becoming rather impatient. Tapping her foot on the step repeatedly, she was bored of waiting for the other students. Before she was about to ask the teacher something the doors flew open and a very angry student stormed in with a nagging girl following behind him.
"How dare you Vegeta. I give you everything and this is what i get."
Vegeta halted at her comment and whipped around glaring at her. "You give me everything? Is that so. And may I fucking ask what everything is exactly!" He balled his fist tightly to his side.
"I give you me you jerk! Anyone would love what you have."
"Kira." Vegeta said calmly then immediately changed the tone of his voice. "I hate you! I never wanted to date you in the first place! You're nothing but a nagging fucking whore. I know you have slept with half the fucking football team, except Kakarott. I don't want to date you…" Vegeta was interrupted by Mr Lieutenant.
"Vegeta and Kira what is the meaning of this. The both of you turn up 20 minutes late and you come bursting in and interrupting my class with your nonsense. Go outside and short your shit out, and detention for the both of you." He pointed to the door.
The class was silent looking from the teacher to Vegeta to Kira.
"No there's nothing to short out sir. We aren't together." Vegeta looked up and saw Goku.
"Argh." Kira ran out of the class in tears as Vegeta ignored her. Embarrassed that everyone had to witness her breakup.
"Now I have to go after her, great. I am not meant to leave my students, but I have no choice. Mr Nappa here will take over until I come back. I expect you all to behave am I clear?" He yells.
"Yes Sir."
"Good." Mr Lieutenant leaves the gym immediately going after Kira.
The class nervously looks at Nappa, wondering what he'll make them do.
"I have no intentions of teaching you anything I am only here to keep guard of Miss Briefs and that is all. But I do expect you to be quiet. Understood?" Nappa stares each student in the eye. They all nod in response. "Good."
Bulma smirks, knowing exactly how Nappa must be feeling being around so much kids in one place. Her being the only one he could handle 'Poor Nappa.' She thought. She hadn't realised that the flame haired boy had joined her and Goku on the bleachers.
"Man Vegeta. What did you do to piss her off this time?" Asked Goku.
"You would know the answer to your question Kakarott, if you would have stayed with me this morning when she was screaming her head off at me." Vegeta looked straight ahead, looking at the others still doing their reps 'Useless fools.' He thought.
"I'm sorry Geta."
"Don't bother idiot. And call me by my name, which is Vegeta to you fool." He crossed his arms over his chest.
Goku sighed. "Ok. I'm going to help Chi Chi she's been stuck on her 3rd push up for the last 10 minutes." He said, walking off the bleachers leaving the two on their own.
Vegeta looked at the corner of his eyes to the girl sitting a space away from him. Wondering what to say she spoke before him.
"So you finally let go of your dead weight huh?" Said Bulma. Her eyes still fixed on the other students.
He smirks. "You can say that." He turned his attention on her. "She's quite the looker isn't she?" He said unaware he had spoken out loud.
"Who is?" Bulma turns to him, blue eyes to pure black. She sees a faint shade of pink on his cheeks. Fully denying that he was referring to her.
"No one urhm… Don't worry about it." He tried changing the subject. "So how are you liking the school?"
She frowns "Well if you count nearly being beaten up by Chi Chi and nearly fighting on my first day with some very jealous ex-girlfriend of yours. Oh and not to mention nearly getting raped by some big headed dick you can only guess how I'm feeling about this damn school." She says in a calm tone.
"If you don't like it here. Why bother coming?" Said Vegeta. But something inside him didn't want that to happen.
"I did consider it. But you see that big ape at front with the glasses." He nods. "Well you can say he's kind of like my father. He doesn't tolerate quitters. He means well and I rather be on his good side. He's all I have." She saddens as memories of her past replays.
"Doesn't your parents care for you? Is that why he guards you?" Vegeta looked at her. Wanting to know more about the girl.
"They aren't my parents. I'm adopted. They do a lot for me but I am not as close with them as I am with Nappa. It's a long story to be honest."
"At least you have a father figure." Vegeta spoke softly.
"You don't have a father?" They both look into each other's eyes, lost for a second or two.
"You can say that. He's never home, always working you know? But when he is, he's always mad at me. It's not my fault he isn't promoted. It's the only reason why I am dating that whore."
"He's hard on you huh? Asshole." She smiles. Trying to lighten his mood.
He smirks "Smart and beautiful." Once again saying it out loud.
She blushes turning her attention to the front. The students now taking their seats on the bleachers. Goku and the rest of the gang took theirs at the back, filling the gap between Vegeta and Bulma.
"So what were you and Vegeta talking about?" Chi Chi wagged her eyebrows.
Bulma blushed a beetroot red. "Chi Chi not so loud. The other students may think there's something going on. Which there isn't." She was glad everyone were chatting. They would be able to hear.
"So you do like him?" Chi chi smiled.
"What? No of course not. I have no time for boys. I'm here to learn not make out. Besides he probably already has another lined up."
"Oh come on Bulma. Don't think so negative about it. My Goku thinks Vegeta likes you, to be honest we all do. He never stutters when talking to a girl, in fact he never talks to girls like he does you. It's rare to get his attention. But he seems to have his undivided attention for you though." Chi Chi winked.
"Chi Chi if the girl doesn't like him. She doesn't like him. So lay off alright." Said 18. Slightly annoyed with the conversation between the two.
"You're just jealous because Vegeta didn't give his full attention to you when you liked him." Chi Chi spat.
"How dare you." Both girls stood up. Bulma still seated in the middle of them. The class seemed to quiet down as they stared at the back.
Bulma pinched the bridge of her nose, a slight headache coming on. She was getting agitated with the bickering between the two. She felt as if she was in the middle of two 4 year old's fighting over a toy.
"You blonde bimbo!" Screamed Chi chi.
"Oh please. Don't even go there. You think you're so perfect don't you? Well news flash you aren't. You want me to tell everyone?"
Krillen spoke up. "18 don't."
Chi chi stared back and forth between the couple. "What are you on about?"
The class was deathly silent. All ears were tuned in on the heated argument between the girls.
18 laughs. "You really want me to tell the whole class about your 'little' situation?" She smirks, watching the shocked expression on Chi chi's face.
"I don't." 18 interrupts her.
"You're pregnant." She smiles.
"What?" Goku stared at Chi chi, a frown forming on his face.
"I was going to tell you but." Goku spoke over the top of her.
"Is this why you've been acting weird." He felt angry but sad at the same time.
"Weird? If that's what you think of me fine. Don't ever speak to me again Goku." Chi chi sprinted out of the gymnasium, all eyes on her. The class whispered among each other, no doubt about to spread false rumors.
Bulma watched as none of them chased after Chi chi, not even Goku himself. She was disgusted. "Aren't you going to go after her Goku?"
"What's good that going to do? She's just going to bitch at me." His eyes were down on the ground.
Bulma lifted his face up so she could stare into his eyes as she slapped him across the face. "Pathetic. The lot of you." Bulma ran after Chi chi. Nappa followed closely behind her. Leaving the students unsupervised.
"This isn't your problem to deal with Bulma." Said Nappa.
"I know but they shouldn't have done that to her. She's pregnant Nappa. She'll need support. Besides she's my friend." Bulma smiles. She felt good that she was helping someone in need.
"Fair enough." He nods. He felt pride swell in his chest as he could notice a big change happen with his pupil. The pair continued down the corridor of the school. They could hear muffled cries coming from the ladies rest room as they passed it. Bulma looked at Nappa.
"Go ahead. I'll be right outside if you need me." He replied as if he read her mind.
"Thanks." She opened the door, quietly walking in. She saw one of the toilets were occupied. She rapped her knuckles on the door. "Chi chi?" There was no response. Bulma sighed "Chi chi?"
"What do you want?" She replied with a sad tone.
"I'm sorry about what happened. Why don't you come out and we can talk? Like you said we are friends right?" Bulma smiled when the door cracked open, revealing the teary eyed girl.
"Thanks for actually coming after me. Obviously Goku doesn't love me enough to sought this shit out." She wrapped her slender arms around her waist.
"Hey that's not true. He's just shocked…"
"Shocked? What a joke. Did you see the look on his face when he found out." Her eyes fell to the ground. "He's disgusted with me. I don't know how 18 found out. You know she's never liked me to begin with." Chi chi fell to the ground, heavily sobbing.
Bulma frowned "What are you doing?" Chi chi looked up, shocked by her harsh tone. "Get off the ground. You look pathetic. Yes it's sad, but you never show weakness. Always stay strong and stand up for yourself. If they are your friends or boyfriend they would be here instead of me." Bulma crossed her arms over her chest.
Chi chi blinked. "Your right. Your absolutely right. I'm a strong independent woman. Thanks Bulma." She stood up from the ground and hugged Bulma unexpectedly. Bulma stood awkwardly.
"Ok that's enough." She pushed the raven hair girl away. Dusting her clothes off. "Lets head back to class alright."
"Why bother? Class will be ending in 20 minutes." Said Chi chi.
"It's to show them assholes that you're not affected by the situation you are in. It'll show them how strong you are. So come on." Bulma walked out of the bathroom, chi chi followed.
Nappa stood there. His glasses were resting on his head, arms crossed and his eyebrow was arched once his eyes made contact with hers.
"Lets head back now Nappa."
"As you wish." He let the two girls walk in front of him so he could keep guard from the back.
After the 2 girls left the room along with Bulma's body guard. The teacher arrived soon after. Not happy that he was missing 2 students and there was no one supervising them.
"The first week of school and already drama. Where is Chi chi and Bulma?" Right on cue the girls walk in the class. Nappa was beside Bulma. The teacher storms up to the teens a few inches to close for Nappa's liking.
"How dare you both leave this class without my permission? And to think I considered you a good student Bulma." He practically spat in their face. Nappa's muscles tensed in alarm. He stepped forward hoping to hit the other male in the face but a small palm rested on his chest.
"Nappa calm down. I got this." She nodded, staring him in the eye. He considered it and finally stood back, but not taking his guard down. Bulma turned to the teacher and calmly explained.
"First of all. You have a lot of nerve talking to your students like that, considering you weren't here to supervise us. It is not my body guards responsibility to look after your students. If you were here you could have handled the situation properly but you weren't. There are a few things that I don't tolerate with, but the main one I can't stand is bullying. This school has it written all over it. If you don't mind moving out of our way we would like to take our seats please sir." Mr Lieutenant was lost for words. No student showed such confidence when speaking to him. He stepped outside, eyes still glued on Bulma, as she and Chi chi walked to the bleachers taking a seat at the front. Nappa stayed out front eyes focused on the teacher. He tapped his shoulder, gaining his attention.
"If you ever stand 1 cm near Miss Briefs again ill have your head. Are we clear?" Nappa's eye twitches, jaw clenched. The teacher stood there, sweating. He felt intimidated under his stern gaze.
"I… yeah of course." He stuttered. Nappa stood next to him, as he spoke to the class.
"The bell is about to ring. We will pick up on today's lesson next week. Whatever happened today it is to stay within this classroom. I don't want to have the principle breathing down my neck." He looked at his watch, the bell rang. "You're dismissed."
It was silent when everyone made their way for the exit. Bulma taking her time to leave.
"Bulma do you think I could sit with you at lunch I don't think I'll be welcomed at Goku and the rest of the gangs table anymore."
Bulma sighed. "I guess if you don't mind having this big ape around." She said slapping Nappa's shoulder.
"You wound me Miss Briefs." He smirked.
Chi chi looks back and forth between the two. "You guys are quite close huh?" She smiled.
"Yeah. We tight." The girls laugh.
"Enough of this non sense. I'm hungry." Nappa picks up his pace. Parting himself slightly further away from the girls, as they laugh at him.
"You're an idiot Kakkarott." Vegeta spoke truthfully.
"What would you have me do? She wouldn't speak to me even if I chased her down."
"I wasn't referring to that you imbecile." Vegeta rolled his eyes at his friends clueless expression. "Getting her pregnant you oaf. If you don't know by now it's called a condom, so you don't fuck up your life." He stabbed his fork in his chicken Cesar salad his mother made him for his lunch.
"What do I do Vegeta?"
"Bulma is right. Your pathetic the lot of you. And you." He pointed at 18. "How can you do that to your friend. Chi chi maybe a bitch sometimes but she's helped us with a lot of shit that we couldn't handle and I can vouch for that. And Kakkarott look at you sulking about this. She's right over there. Grow a pair of balls and talk this shit out with her." He rolled his eyes once again as they stared at him.
"I didn't mean to say that to her in front of everyone. I was mad." Said 18. She frowned at her uneaten lunch as Vegeta's words struck her heart. She loved Krillen but she would always feel an attraction towards Vegeta. As he was her first crush.
"I don't fucking want to know about it. I have my own drama to deal with. You guys are on your own." He slammed his fork on the table. Standing up, he grabbed his belongings and left the cafeteria. He was pissed at the fact that they would even think of dragging him into their mess. That he would not take a part of. Having problems at home and with his crazy ex, he had his hands full already.
Bulma watched as Vegeta left. As much as she wanted to leave the school she knew Nappa wouldn't allow it. But of course she felt like she couldn't leave Chi chi on her own either. She turned her eyes on the raven hair girl sitting next to her, noticing she wasn't eating.
"Chi chi you need to eat to keep your body strong. And with the situation you're in you need the nutrients."
"I know but I just don't feel hungry."
"I could eat it for you then." Chi chi frowned. When she heard an all too familiar voice she didn't expect to.
"Leave me be Goku." She snapped.
"I just wanted to talk to you Chi Chi. Please."
"Your time for talking is expired." She stood up, practically running out of the cafeteria.
Goku sighed "Bulma could you." She cuts him off.
"Don't even think about dragging me in this shit. You fucked up. Deal with it yourself. I'm just here to protect her from assholes like you and them sitting over there." Her eyes were fixed mainly on the blonde girl. "She needed you the moment that bitch opened her mouth, where were you? Nowhere. I may not know Chi chi as long as you guys do, but she's carrying your child. I hate when someone abandons…"
"I haven't abandon her." Goku yelled over the top of her.
Nappa took a step forward close to Bulma. "Cool down boy. You don't want anything to happen to the pretty boy face do you?"
"Nappa leave it. He's pathetic. Talk to me once you get your shit together. Lets go Nappa, I have a headache." He nods and grabs her backpack. Heading straight for the exit.
Goku stares after them. He felt ashamed for what he did to his girlfriend. "I'm sorry Chi chi." For the first time in a long time tears fell from his eyes.
Review me please :)
