"Well Vegeta, how was you're first day at school?" Krillin asked.

Vegeta sighed at he was thinking what he should answer, because he didn't wanted to answer at all. He never cared how others though of him, but he wanted the blue-haired girl to think he wasn't a fool. 'Wait, I knew her from somewhere, but where?' He thought, as he forgot his previous thoughts. He was thinking so hard his head hurt. Everybody was looking at him as if he was losing it. He was just sitting there, daydreaming. Vegeta never daydreamed, never lost his focus. Goku found it a bit odd, but he himself was odd too sometimes so who was he to judge. Vegeta was going mad, not knowing where he saw her before, besides in class. He couldn't handle it any more.

"Where do I know you from, woman?" He asked her quickly, turning to her, out of nowhere. Everybody looked at him surprised, especially Bulma. 'Why did he call me 'woman'', Bulma thought, 'Oh, he doesn't know my name.'

"First my name is Bulma and second, I don't know you and I don't think you know me." She said fast, looking in his eyes as she was getting mad, ofcourse she knew where he knew her from, she was Bulma Briefs. But she didn't like it, she wanted him to know her but now he would only be thinking of her 'famous' side, if she told him.

"No, I've seen you somewhere." He said, getting mad because he wanted to know from where. "I know I don't know you." He added after, but he did not know why. Goku was the first to take the word before Bulma could stop him.

"She's Bulma Briefs, maybe you've seen her in a magazine or something." Goku said confused, Vegeta normally didn't care.

"Goku!" Bulma yelled angry at Goku.

"What did I do?" Goku said surprised at the angry response from Bulma.

"I don't want people to know I'm Bulma Briefs, ofcourse they will figure out but don't help them, please." She said defeated, and added to Vegeta, angry again. "Don't tell anybody if they don't know." She also looked at Krillin and ChiChi, so they knew they couldn't tell anybody, either. This was it for Vegeta, he had thought he wanted to be nice to her but he couldn't be ordered around. He was Vegeta and he wouldn't let her!

"Nobody tells me what to do, woman." He replied, back to his uninterested state he was always in. 'Why would he care?' he said to himself, convincing himself.

"Well I do, and don't call me woman, I have a name!" She yelled angry at him, she finally found herself again, having a reply to everything. Not backing down just because she thought he was handsome. Goku and Krillin looked shocked at Bulma's response, if Vegeta would get mad they didn't know if they could stop him. They were looking intensely at Vegeta as Vegeta widened his eyes at what Bulma had said. 'But,' he remembered himself, 'why would I care?'. And then he calmed down and simply responded with a single word.

"Whatever." Vegeta said, looking at his food, back uninterested.

Everyone went back to eating, Bulma was a bit out of her comfort zone. She always talked and she couldn't help but trying to find a topic to talk about. 'Oh ofcourse!'

"Hey ChiChi, 18 texted me and she's going to be at school tomorrow!" She said enthusiastic. ChiChi smiled as she thought of 18, she had really missed her. She and 18 were really good friends, just like Bulma. She couldn't wait to see her again.

"Really? I can't wait. I don't think she is going to like new people, you know 18." She looked at Krillin and Vegeta, but she refused to look at Goku, making Goku a bit mad, if Goku could ever be mad. And indeed, Bulma knew this, but it was something 18 had to deal with. 18 wasn't really good with people, she rarely showed emotion and hated interactions, but somehow she really liked Bulma and ChiChi. They were the only ones she could talk to and even laugh with.

"Yes, I'm going to pick her up in the morning. I can pick you up too?" 18 had never learned to drive, she didn't like it and thus she didn't want to do it, but she did need a ride to school and since 18 lives on Bulma's way to school she always lifts with Bulma.

"Yes, ofcourse. That would be amazing." ChiChi said loudly, almost shouting. She was dying to see 18 and she couldn't wait. Goku looked at her enthusiasm. 'Well, she can have normal conversations. I guess it is me she just refuses to talk to.' He though sadly.

"It's settled then." Bulma said smiling. As she smiled she felt a look on her face, she turned to the person who was looking at her and she saw camera's. 'oh no' The rest of the group turned to where she was looking at and saw it too. Bulma made herself as small as she could so the reporters couldn't make pictures of her. 'Why do they have to do this? Can't I have a normal life?' She cursed in herself as the reporters walked to her and began asking questions.

"Bulma, why have you decided to go to a public school?" "Bulma, how is you're first day in a public school?" "Bulma, who are your these people? Your friends?" "Bulma, if anyone of this guys your boyfriend?"

They didn't stop asking her questions, although she ignored them. The rest of the group looked sympathetic a her, except Vegeta. The whole canteen was looking at her now, she just wanted to get out of there. Vegeta turned to the reporters.

"Leave her alone." He threatened the reporters. They looked surprised at him, as was Bulma and the rest. He sighted and turned back at his food, mumbling "I've tried.". Bulma was still looking surprised at him.

"Thank you." Was all she could say, but the reporters were still there. She got a silent "Whatever" from Vegeta. Meanwhile the reporters had recovered of their shock and got a lot of new questions for Bulma.

"Was that your boyfriend, Bulma?" "Who is he?" ...

Bulma decided there was nothing else to do but walk away. She looked at ChiChi and nodded at the exit, ChiChi nodded back and they both stood up. They walked out of the canteen with the reporters in their footsteps. They walked directly to the girls bathroom where the reporters wouldn't be able to get in. Once there they sighed from relief.

"Well, that was something." ChiChi said, looking at Bulma as if Bulma could begin crying any second.

"Yeah, I should have expected that." She took in a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"I didn't expect Vegeta to defend you." ChiChi admitted, it had been a big shock to everyone.

"Me neither, but it's not like he meant anything with it. He just wanted to get the paparazzi off his back." She did as if it was nothing, but she knew she wanted it to mean more. But she didn't want to admit that out loud yet, so she decided to change the subject. "But I think Goku likes you, although you are being pretty mean to him." Bulma had to laugh as she saw ChiChi's shocked face.

"No!" She refused to believe it. "He can't, and I'm not being mean to him. I'm just sparing him some awkward moments." She knew it was a bit mean for her to ignore Goku, but what could she do? All she knew was that he definitely didn't like her, that was out of the question.

"Oh ChiChi, sometimes you're so naïve. He's always looking at you, and when you ignore him his face turns all sad and disappointed. He obviously likes you, but he thinks you hate him." It was the truth and ChiChi had to learn and live with it. ChiChi sighed as she looked defeated at Bulma.

"He doesn't, but let's say if he does, what should I do?" She wasn't going to give in that easily, so she put in the 'if', she couldn't let herself believe something as ridiculous as that. He was abnormally handsome and there is no chance someone like him would like someone like her. She knew she was pretty beautiful, she wasn't going to deny that, but she wasn't going to believe the part where he likes her, that's absolutely ridiculous. 'Isn't it?' She asked herself. 'Ugh' She was doubting her own statement, could it get any worse?

"Just talk to him." Bulma said. 'Yes, yes it could get worse' ChiChi thought as she heard what Bulma just said. She was not going to respond to that so changed the subject again, if Bulma was allowed to do that, she was too.

"Well, Vegeta isn't so bad himself, huh?" She teased Bulma, who turned red in an instant.

So, normally in the stories about Bulma and Vegeta I miss the paparazzi a bit. In my imagination I always picture Bulma getting chased by paparazzi and I just had to get that in my story. I hope you liked the twist.
I just noticed this story will probably have a lot of chapters, thinking about the fact that they are only at lunch and I've already written 3 chapters. Maybe I'm going to fuse (fu-sion, HA!) some chapters so they will become longer and there aren't a lot of different ones, but I haven't figured that out yet.

Thank you!
