Fight 11
Being Normal Is Difficult

True to Videl's word Gohan could feel her gaze on him throughout the day. He suspected the only reason it wasn't constant was that not all of their classes were the same and she needed to pay at least some attention to the teachers. Unless one of her parents were as strict as his mother was then it was unlikely she had learned this material before.

"Though," He mused inwardly, "Videl probably studies ahead so she can keep up with school work and still help the police. So it isn't impossible." Despite Videl's watchful eyes she still allowed him to hang out with her, Erasa, and Sharpener. Though Gohan was pretty sure the jock would prefer he didn't. Which is why they were eating lunch together.

Just one problem. Gohan forgot that a normal person doesn't eat enough food to feed three or four others. It took him a solid five minutes to notice his friends staring at him. Not to mention that Sharpener looked more than a little green too. It was hard, but he managed to slow down. Slightly.

He even lied about being full when he purposely didn't finish it all. He wasn't sure if their incredulous stares were better than Videl's glare or not. Unfortunately he was about to learn that passing as a normal human being wasn't as simple than he thought it would be.

"-the hell?!" Videl exclaimed in shock as she watched Gohan jump at least thirty feet into the air to catch a baseball. "There's no way . . ."

Gohan landed on the ground without an issue before he caught onto that everyone was staring. He tilted his head in confusion, "What did I do?"

Author's Note: I would have written this up sooner, but I blame Rurouni Kenshin. Found the first season on Netflix and it has been a long time since I watched it. (Actually I've never finished the series, but I'm working on that now.) So I ended up binge watching all 27 availible episodes. Now I'm watching the rest online. Oh well. I also found season 1 of Case Closed there on Netflix, but it only has it subbed sadly. Such a good show . . .
