"Ok, now kids you will be handed your new timetables with all your new lessons" droned the home room teacher, indicating for the student next to him to begin handing out the sheets to everyone. "I expect everyone to take this and copy it into your diary so you don't forget where you need to be" he continued.

Bulma was sat in the back row on the far left hand side, with Chi to her right, followed by Goku and then Vegeta. Bulma was chatting to Chi about what they'd chosen and were begging to realise they weren't together for a lot of their options. "It's your fault Bulma for choosing such manly options, I mean engineering seriously" she joked.

"What's wrong with that, I'm going to be inventing things soon anyway, I am a genius you know? Besides your subjects are all so girly anyway, hope economics, textiles-" Bulma began.

"I also do martial arts, that's not so girly is it" she said with a smug smile.

"Yes, but not in school and only really because Goku does it" she replied. Then the student arrived and handed them the timetables, as expected Bulma was in the top class for every subject and got all her options. Chi also did well; she was in or near the top for all classes and got her first choices as well. Vegeta burst out in laugher, whilst Goku stared at his schedule.

"It's not funny Vegeta" Chi reprimanded despite not knowing what he was laughing at.

"Goku what's wrong" Bulma asked seeing Gokus moping.

"Nothing really I guess, just Vegetas laughing because once he's in all the top classes whilst I'm only in the middle" Goku said, starting already to brighten up.

"Oh, don't worry Goku; at least we have quiet few classes in common by the looks of it" Chi said sincerely.

"What classes are you even in Vegeta" Bulma asked with thinly veiled disdain.

"All the top classes for core subjects as well as engineering of course" he said gesturing to his paper.

"What" Bulma shrieked grabbing him paper, and comparing it with her paper. A brief look revealed that they were almost identical; she could only find few subjects they didn't have together. "What the hell Vegeta, why'd you take all the same classes as me" she screamed angry she'd have him in all of her classes.

"I didn't take the same classes as you, you probably copied my classes, clearly trying to spend more time with me" he replied smugly, whilst snatching both paper to see if she was telling the truth.

"Oh of course, AND WHY WOULD I WANT TO BE AROUND YOU ANY MORE THAN I HAVE TO BE" she yelled loud enough for everyone to hear. Chi started to laugh hysterically.

"WHAT" they both yelled together at Chi with furious eyes.

"Oh, nothing I just find you flirty little arguments funny" Chi admitted still laughing. Vegeta than looked back to Bulma just in time to notice Bulma's blushing. He fell silent, then he realised that he had also started to slightly blush. Finally he regained his composer and began to yell at Chi again.

"You think we were flirting, like id flirt with her" he yelled hoping no one saw him blushing earlier, Bulma than tuned to glare at him, with fire in her eyes, before she began to scream.

"Oh, like I'm not good enough for you, I'm super pretty, and I'm a genius you should be begging he for my attention" she screamed not really thinking.

"See, it's just like I've been saying all this time. You both like each other but refuse to admit it" Chi said smugly. The bell went and Bulma quickly left the room before anyone could say anything hoping no will have noticed her abrupt exit, everyone noticed, especially Vegeta who couldn't help but feel happy although he didn't know why.

Vegeta, Chi and Goku then left for their next lesson, they chatted as they walked until Vegeta left to go to his room and Chi and Goku went to theirs. Vegeta enter his class and instantly saw her, he decided to give her some space so sat near the front as she was at the back and he didn't want to hear her screaming again, his ears were hurting.

"Alright settle down class" a teacher who Vegeta didn't know said calmly before taking his seat. "I have a seating plan so everyone stand up and stand at the back of the class and sit where I say" he yelled. He then proceed to put everyone in a boy-girl seating plan hoping to stop them talking.

"…And finally Bulma you'll sit here next to Vegeta" the teacher said in a high pitch shrill voice. Vegeta growled and took his seat, Bulma than sat down lightly brushing Vegetas thigh as she sat. Vegeta then felt that pang in his stomach again but ignored it.

The teacher than set them work and told them to have it done within the hour. Bulma and Vegeta did it in silence; both avoiding each other's gaze.

Finally the lesson ended and they had a free period, they started to pack up silently until Bulma couldn't take it anymore. "So, where do you think Goku and Chi will be" she asked almost whispering, she thought Vegeta hadn't heard her until he replied "Probably in the cafeteria, where else" he smirked, Bulma knew full well of Gokus strange and extreme eating habits, often he'd eat more in one meal than she did, of course so would Vegeta but he ate in a more dignified manner and almost looked regal despite the vast quantities of food he ate.

"Ok then let's go" she said whilst grabbing his hand without thinking. Vegeta suddenly felt very embarrassed, but he didn't know why, when he began to blush and quickly snatched his hand back and turned away from her to hide this. "Oh, sorry" she said meekly realizing what she'd done and slightly hurt by reaction. Vegeta than quickly left and Bulma followed remaining silent till they arrived at the canteen where sure enough Goku sat surrounded by food whilst Chi talked, more at his than with him but he did respond occasionally.

"Hey Bulma" Bulma turned around to see Yamcha. He'd always had a crush on her and couldn't even pretend to hide it. He quickly ran to her and hugged her tightly; she hugged him back hoping it was just a friendly hug and then led him to the table by his hand.

Vegeta seeing this filled with anger, he didn't know why, he quickly left to get food and decided to stay and eat so as not to seem unusual, hoping this would stop it didn't. Yamcha flirted with her all through the free period then through break and for some reason Vegeta couldn't stop watching.

Completely oblivious to the affect her enabling Yamcha was having on Vegeta and hoping if she humoured him he'd go away Bulma allowed him to flirt but didn't flirt back. Finally after what felt like an eternity to Bulma and Vegeta the bell rang for them to go to PE and both quickly went to the changing rooms. The teacher said she needed to test their fitness and told them to run 10 laps of the 800m course. Vegeta and Goku both shot of and Yamcha tried to keep up with them hoping to impress Bulma. But quickly tired and by lap 2 he knew he couldn't keep up, he turned look at Goku and Vegeta 'what they don't even look tired their just talking' Yamcha felt demoralized at how easy this was for them and decided to drop back to Bulma to talk to her for a while instead.

Vegeta snickered as Yamcha couldn't keep up "look at them Kakarot they can't even keep up with us and were not even trying" Vegeta said turning back to watch Yamcha panting for air.

"Yes, it is pretty funny I guess, want to race" he said light heartedly, turning to Vegeta with a confident smile.

"You're on Kakarot" Vegeta said smugly then without another word took off in front starting to lap everyone.

"Hey no fair, we should have started at the same time" Goku yelled after him, starting to run hoping to catch up.

"We did start at the same time at the beginning of the race this isn't still the start." Vegeta said turning back and smiling arrogantly.

Bulma couldn't help but be impressed by both their speeds she'd though they were trying before but she was wrong, she didn't even notice Yamcha because she was so focused on Vegeta. She eventually realized what she'd been doing and was filled with embarrassment; she turned to Yamcha and started talking to his hoping to get Vegeta out her head. It didn't work.

Vegeta was constantly lapping her and every time she did she got a good view of his ass as he took off again. She constantly had to fight the urge to grab his as until finally he and Goku finished. Vegeta was only a few seconds ahead of Goku and she could see that he was bragging anyway. Finally she regained herself with the realization she had over 3 laps to go. She was about to speed up when Vegeta started stretching.

Chi noticed Bulma's ogling and once Yamcha couldn't keep up with them either anymore confronted her. "Enjoying the view" she asked innocently.

"Uh huh…" Bulma grunted out still drooling then realized her mistake. "I mean… you know the view of the… you know" she stuttered and fell over her own words as Chi smiled enjoying her friends obvious discomfort, before finally putting her out of her misery.

"Bulma relax, its ok to look, looking doesn't mean anything" she said with an impish smile and wink. Despite chis good intention Bulma ended up even more embarrassed, she felt her cheeks getting warm and decided to run ahead so Chi wouldn't notice. Chi noticed but decided to leave it for now, whenever she tried to push them together they'd get even worse just to prove a point.

The bus ride home

"Hey Bulma, you want to go to this party at my house later?" Yamcha asked a little to enthusiastically. Bulma noticed and decided to avoid the attempt at a date so as not to hurt his feelings.

"I don't know, what do you guys think" she said to Chi and Goku.

"A party sounds great B" Chi replied happily before resuming her conversation with Goku.

"Great, what about you Vegeta" she asked with pleading eyes, hoping to use her friends as a shield from Yamahas advanced, well her friends and Vegeta but he is the most aggressive so she needs him.

"I'm busy" he replied abruptly, without even spearing her a glance.

"Please Vegeta, it's the first party of the year it won't be the same without you" she cooed, pouting her lip and stoking his arm. Vegeta felt a lump in his throat, he tried to swallow it but he couldn't.

"Yes Vegeta, come on have some fun for once" Goku said cheerfully.

"What I always have fun" Vegeta responded irritably.

"No you don't your always so serious, you never do anything fun" Goku replied, jokingly. Just as Vegeta was about to scold Goku an annoying voice came from behind him.

"Come on Vegeta, go to the party I can be your date" the girl from the morning said flirtatiously.

"And that's supposed to temp me, frankly girls like you are only good for one thing, and you weren't very good at that to be honest, Holly" Vegeta scolded full of anger.

Biting back tears the girl sank back into her seat "Its Rebecca" she meekly replied after she regained herself.

"Vegeta, that was mean apologize to her now" Bulma yelled in his ear. Vegeta ignored her. "Vegeta APOLOGIZE RIGHT NOW, OR ILL SCREAM IN YOUR EAR THE WHOLE WEEK" Bulma screamed, making Vegetas ears practically bleed.

"Ok ok God your annoying woman" Vegeta replied, "I'm sorry" Vegeta apologized, not even Bulma though he'd apologize. She ignored his insult and tightly hugged him "Oh Vegeta your so sweet" she cooed in his ear, she felt his tense at first and was about to stop when he relaxed into her embrace.

A/N

I realize Vegetas a little OOC but bear in mind he's raised with Goku as a brother and round humans a little bit would rub of him. Also can't decide whether or not for characters like Krillen, Chatzou or Tien if they should be humans, aliens or saiyans review what you want . Also one last thing I can't decide if piccolo will be part of the story or not review if you want his to be or not.
