Chapter 2: Suspicions & Secrets
Orange Star High School
As Gohan approached the classroom he saw the teacher standing outside tapping his watch. "5 minutes late on your first day Mr. Son not a good way to make a good first impression."
"I'm Sorry Mr. Curry. I kind of got a little lost on the way here." Gohan chuckled, rubbing the back of his head nervously.
"Well I guess that's understandable considering you were raised in the mountains." Mr. Curry replied. I'll let it slide this time Mr. Son but please try not to make a habit of it."
"I won't Sir" Gohan replied.
"Well let's introduce you to the class shall we." Mr Curry said before he opened the door and stepped inside the classroom. "Class, We have a new student joining us today. I expect you to treat him with the respect you treat you other peers. Come on in and introduce yourself Mr. Son."
Gohan stepped inside the classroom. "Hello Everyone, My name is Son Gohan. My favorite subject is math, and I also like reading and martial arts.
Everyone had a confused look on his face when he said martial arts but most just shrugged it off thinking he was just into martial arts movies or something.
"Mr. Son here had a perfect test score on his entrance exam. You all could learn a thing or two from him. Since I have you for the first half of the day due to Mrs. Sunday being sick coupled with the the fact that I just feel a bit tuckered out myself. I think I'll be nice and give you all a free day to chat and make merry and what not."
The entire classed cheered with one random student yelling out "Woohoo you da best, Mr. Curry"
"You may take your now Mr. Son" Mr. Curry said as he sat at his desk and began to doze off.
A very chipper blond girl spoke up waving her hand in the air like she just didn't care "Yooo hooo! You can seat over here cutie!"
"Thank you" Gohan replied as he sat next to the almost unnaturally happy blond.
"Don't mention it cutie. My name is Erasa. And this big lug over here is Sharpner." Erasa pointed to a muscular guy with long blond and a white tank top sitting two seats away from her. "And we'll be your friends from this day forward."
"Speak for yourself Erasa. Like I'd ever want to be associated with nerdboy over ere." Sharpner replied in an absolutely condescending tone.
"Sharpner be nice or I won't let you come over to my house anymore which means no being able to eat any of my mom's famous stir fry anymore."
"Ugh fine. Nice to meet ya nerdboy." Said Sharpner in a slightly less condescending tone.
"Nice to meet you to Sharpner." Gohan replied.
"Oh did you hear about what happened at the bank this morning?" Asked Erasa
"Oh well I heard there was some there was some commotion but I don't really know anything about what happened." Gohan replied rubbing the back of his head nervously.
"Well..." Before Erasa the could finish her sentence the door to the classroom sprang open and in stepped the raven haired girl.
"Sorry I'm late Mr. Curry there was a disturbance at the bank this morning." The raven haired girl said.
"I understand. Please take your seat." Mr. Curry replied.
"Thank you." The raven haired girl looked up and stared at Gohan. Where have I seen him before She thought. She shrugged it off for now and walked to her seat which was between Erasa and Sharpner.
"Hey bestie!" Erasa said in her ever so chipper voice.
"Hey Erasa." The raven haired girl replied.
"So did you see him? Did you!?" Erasa asked practically shouting.
"No I didn't he was already gone by the time I got there." The raven haired girl replied.
"Who are we talking about?" Gohan asked curiously.
"Oh yeah you don't know yet. We're talking about The Gold Fighter." Erasa replied.
"Uuum The Gold Fighter?" Gohan said rubbing the back of his head.
"He was the one who stopped the bank robbery earlier today. People didn't get a really good look at him because they said he emitted this strange golden energy but I heard a few people say swore his hair was made of pure gold. There's also speculation that he could be a student at this very high school because the few people who saw his hair said that for a brief second they thought they could make out an orange star high school badge."
"Wow you seem to know quite a lot. Where did you get all this information from Erasa?" Gohan asked still rubbing the back of his head.
"My phone's web browser silly. It's all over the news Erasa replied."
Crapbaskets, it's barely taken anytime and they've already made a legend out of me. Gohan thought as he continued to rub the back of his head.
"So who's the new kid?" The raven haired girl asked.
"Oh this is Gohan. Gohan this is Videl." Erasa replied. "Hey Gohan, I bet you'll never guess who Videl's father is.
"Um no who? Replied Gohan.
"Mr. Satan" Erasa replied.
Oh god that she's that Oaf's daughter. "She's Hercule Satan's daughter? Must be neat being the daughter of a celebrity." Gohan quipped. "Yep she's one special gal. Of course being friend's with a celebrity's daughter is pretty cool too ya know." Replied Erasa.
"Wait a second! I recognize you now. You were at the bank this morning." Videl said suddenly.
"Huh? Oh yeah you were the girl who asked me if I saw anything" Gohan replied acting as if he just now recognized her in fact he recognized her right away due to her unmistakable ki signature.
"I really didn't get a chance to talk to you much before you ran away. Are you sure you didn't see anything? Anything at all?" Videl said in an almost forceful manner.
"Um sorry I didn't see anything. Like I said I had just gotten there right before you did." Gohan replied. Once again rubbing the back of his head.
"Videl be nicer to Gohan. You're talking to him like you think he's a suspect or something." Erasa said coming to Gohan's defense like a knight in sparkly armor.
"Sorry I didn't mean to sound like I was interrogating you Gohan. I just wish I could find out more about this guy." Videl said apologetically. Although come to think of it. It is a little suspicious that this gold fighter just so happens to show up the same day Gohan arrives. Plus there's that rumor that he may be a student here...Maybe I should keep an eye on him.
"Why do you want to find this guy so badly?" Gohan asked.
"Oh you don't do you?" Erasa replied.
"Know what" Gohan replied.
"Videl works with the police to help put bad guys in jail. She's a total badass." Said Erasa with pride in her voice.
"Oh really isn't that a bit dangerous?" Gohan said. He could sense she was strong but the fact that she was Mr. Satan's daughter was still worrying to him.
"I can handle myself just fine Gohan you don't have to worry." replied videl
"She is the daughter of Mr. Satan after all." Erasa chimed in. Yeah that's exactly what makes worried. Gohan thought to himself. "Yeah I guess you're right."
The lunch bell rang after about another 5 minutes of idle conversation.
"AH YES LUNCH TIME FINALLY!" Both Gohan and Videl shouted out at the same time.
Gohan and Videl both starred at each other in a slight state of disbelief.
"Wow I've never seen anyone as excited about lunch as Videl." Said Erasa breaking the the two out their trance. "Ooh maybe this means you're soulmates!"
Both Gohan and Videl blushed.
"Not funny Erasa. And besides the only way I could ever get a boyfriend is if he beats my dad in a fight. And no offense to you Gohan but I highly doubt. You could beat my dad."
"None taken." Gohan replied knowing full well he could beat Mr. Satan worse than life beats Yamcha.
Both Gohan and Videl stomachs growled loudly almost as if the were in sync with one another.
"I think that's our cue to head to lunch." Said Erasa.
Orange Star High School Rooftop
"So why aren't we eating in the cafeteria" Gohan asked Although I'm actually kind of glad now that I think about it. I mean with the amount of food I brought everyone would be staring at me for sure.
"Oh you'll see" Erasa chuckled
Videl with an almost embarrassed look on her face took out a capsule and threw it on the ground. When the capsule released a mini mountain of food filled with rice balls, sandwiches, burgers, pizza, and all sorts of snacks was sitting in front of her.
"Don't you dare laugh alright! It's not uncommon for a girl to have a healthy appetite." Videl shouted at Gohan expecting him to burst out laughing at any moment.
"I'm not gonna laugh Videl. Besides..." Gohan took out a capsule and threw it on the ground releasing a pile of food about two inches bigger than Videl's. "I think mine's a little bigger." Sharpner, Erasa, and Videl's eyes widened.
"I've never seen anyone with an appetite as big mine before." Videl said in awe.
"Yeah well I'm not used to seeing too many people eat as much as me either." Gohan replied.
"Hey, I got an idea! Why don't we have an eating contest." Videl suggested with a fire burning in her eyes as her competitive nature began to stir up in her.
"Um sure why not, but I gotta warn you. The only who's ever been able to out eat me was my Dad" Gohan replied.
"Well will see about that!" Videl replied with gusto.
An equal amount of food was divided between the two. With Erasa acting as the referee.
"Okay! Videl, Are you ready" Erasa asked
"Ready!" Replied Videl
"Gohan, Are you ready?" Erasa asked as well.
"Ready!" Gohan replied.
"On your marks...get set...GO!" Erasa shouted making a downward motion with her hand.
Gohan and Videl each furiously attacked their piles of food. Neither one showing any signs of backing off are slowing down. Videl was completely focused on her food not paying attention to Gohan. She just had a few sandwiches, two slices of pizza, and a bowl of miso soup left to go. She thought for sure she was going to win when she heard Erasa blow a whistle.
"Winner Gohan!" Erasa shouted
"What? No way...I lost." Videl said in a state of disbelief.
"Phew, that was great! You weren't kidding when you said you had a big appetite. I think you may be able to eat more than my younger brother." Gohan said as he patted his stomach. I've never seen a human let alone a girl with such a big appetite. She sure is something.
"Yeah I could say the same about you. I've never been beaten at eating before. I'm as confident in my eating skills as I am with my martial arts." I'm glad I finally met another person with an appetite as big as mine...but for some reason, I can't help but feel even more suspicious of him now...
The bell for the next period rang. The rest of the day went pretty normally. It didn't seem too long before the last bell of the day rang.
"Gohan, Do you want a catch a ride home with us?" Erasa asked.
"No thanks. I live pretty far away. So I wouldn't want to be a bother." Gohan replied as he stood up and grabbed his school bag. "I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow."
Everyone said their goodbyes and Gohan exited the classroom. Gohan began heading toward the roof when he felt Videl's presence close behind him. Is she following me...I can't let her see me fly out of here. I have to do something to lose her...I got it. Gohan ever so slightly moved his hand.
What's your secret Gohan? Could you really be the gold fighter? You're hiding something I can feel it. And whatever it is I'm gonna find out. Videl thought as she tried to keep a good distance between her and Gohan so she wouldn't be noticed. When suddenly all the lockers burst open sending papers flying everywhere. When all the papers cleared Gohan was nowhere to be seen. Dammit, I lost him...I've got my eye on you, Son Gohan.
Gohan took advantage and rushed off towards the roof. He looked around to make sure. He was alone. When he was absolutely sure he lifted up into the sky and began his flight home. As he was flying home Gohan began to reflect on the days events. Mom was right. I really can do this. I managed to get through the first day without anyone labeling me a freak and on top of that I even made some friends. Erasa is really nice. Sharpner is kind of an ass but I think he's a good guy deep down and Videl...Videl is interesting.
