Fight 03
Insert Foot Into Mouth

By the end of class Gohan was sweating bullets as he could feel Videl's eyes rarely leave him. The one time he looked over, hoping it was just his imagination, didn't help when she cracked her knuckles. The worst part is she made it look coincidental as she was only watching him out of the corner of her eyes. Logically the half-saiyan knew she couldn't hurt him, but something about her had him on edge.

It couldn't just be her looks. He admitted she was pretty cute, but he was no stranger to pretty women. Perhaps it was how much she reminded him of his mother or because she is his own age. Whatever the reason was he dreaded what she might do. A legitimate fear as she blocked him from running away. "YOU!" Gohan gulped as she pointed at him fiercely.

"Y-yeah. Me." He rubbed the back of his head, a habit he picked up from his father, and smiled awkwardly. "About this morning . . ."

"Pervert! Give me one good reason that I shouldn't punch you!"

Gohan wished she wouldn't have called him that as the blonde girl, Erasa as he remembered, looked at her oddly. "Why are you calling him a pervert? He seems like a sweetie!"

In some hope to stop the misunderstanding he quickly intercepted the question. "It was an accident Videl! My mom would have killed me if I was late to my first day of school. I didn't mean to run headlong into you. Or feeling you up." Immediately he knew he screwed up as she gaped at him. As if surprised at his bluntness. The girl shifted her arms around herself as if to hide any sign of her figure more than the large shirt she wore already did. "I . . . I have to get to class. I'm so sorry!" Realizing he only made it worse he ran out of the room.

So much for making friends.
