Enigma
Chapter 4
Videl jumped at the sound of someone knocking on the door. Could it be... she thought as she walked to the door and opened it, revealing the enigma known as Gohan.
"Hey Videl. Gohan said awkwardly as he walked in and closed the door behind him. "I know you heard." He said as he took a seat on the bed.
"Heard what?" Videl asked, acting confused.
"I know you were listening to our conversation." Gohan said, he seemed more serious than she ever saw him at school.
Videl blinked. "Yeah. I overheard it." She admitted.
"You didn't overhear it, you were spying on me." Gohan said, somewhat frustratedly. The Demi-Saiyan sighed. "You heard the part about...?"
"Yes, Mr godson of the most powerful women in the world." She replied.
Gohan sighed. "Can we keep this to us, and only us?" Gohan asked.
"I mean, I think they deserve to know too, and how can we know that being her godson is the only secret you've been hiding? For all we know, you could be a serial killer waiting for a chance to kill us all!" Videl replied, expressing her opinion.
Gohan chuckled. "I'm not a serial killer, and that's it. No more secrets." Gohan replied.
"Promise?" Videl asked, raising an eyebrow as she waited for a response. She was truly tired of the half-breed keeping secrets.
"I promise." The half-breed replied. He didn't want to make this promise, but it had to be done.
Videl nodded. "You need to tell E and Sharpie." She said, causing Gohan to look down at the ground. "I understand you don't want people to be treating you like a king because you're her godson and all. I feel the same way as the daughter of our savior." Videl said, adding quotes with her fingers on the opinion of Earth's people. "You can trust them. They won't tell anybody about your secret."
"Yeah. I guess I probably should tell them." Gohan replied, deep in thought. "Does this mean you will stop hounding me?" Gohan asked with a light chuckle.
"Nope. I still don't trust you. I feel like you're still hiding something, and I'm going to figure that something out." Videl said determinedly.
"I told you I don't have anymore secrets!" Gohan exclaimed. "If I'm supposed to trust the other two, how can I do that when you don't even trust me?" He asked.
"I'll trust you a little more once you tell them." She said, as the door to the room opened.
"Vi! You won't belie-" A bubbly blonde girl started, before noticing a certain guy in the room. "Why are you and Gohan in here, alone...on the same bed?" Erasa asked. "Were you two-" the blonde started, before being cut off by the raven-haired women.
"No. Don't even start that. We were talking about something you should probably know." Videl said.
"And what's that?" Erasa asked. Gohan gulped.
"Um, it's not really that important. Um..." Gohan started, trying to think of a lie to say, but was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Oh, let me get that." Gohan said, jumping up and walking to the door. Opening it revealed yet another blonde, this time it was Sharpener.
"What are all of y'all doing in here without me?" Sharpener asked with a smile, acting like he felt left out.
"Oh, Gohan was about to tell us all something we should know." Videl said, causing Gohan to freeze.
"Really? What's so important that we all should know about?" Sharpener asked, looking to the spiky-haired teen.
"Well, um..." Gohan started, looking at the ground, he comtemplated his options. Fuck it, I'll just them. "Bulma is my godmother." He said.
"What? Quit playing!" Sharpener said, thinking Gohan was lying. "Seriously now, what do we all need to know?" The muscular blonde asked.
Gohan blinked. "I'm serious. Bulma is my godmother and I've been trying to keep it a secret this whole time." Gohan let out a sigh. His chest seemed much lighter, although his heart was still pounding rapidly.
"You're serious..." Sharpener said with his eyes wide open, not even blinking.
"You mean to tell us that you are the godson of the most famous women on the entire planet, and you didn't even tell us..." Erasa started.
"Put yourself in my shoes. I just wanted to be normal. I didn't want everyone to try to be my friend just because I'm related to her. Hiding that secret did me pretty good, in my opinion atleast. Now I have three real friends, ones who didn't even know about this all before befriending me." Gohan explained, a smile forming on his mouth.
"We're glad you told us." Erasa said, a smile forming on her face. "So now we have two people in the group with family connections to the two most famous people on Earth..." Erasa said.
"Mind blowing, really." Sharpener replied.
"But please don't tell anyone. I want this to be our little secret. No one else can know." Gohan said, seriously.
"Alright! I love secrets like this." Erasa said with a grin on her face. "So how about we go swimming now?"
Gohan shrugged and looked to his other two friends.
"I'm in if you are." Sharpener said looking at Videl.
"I'm in if Gohan is in." Videl said, looking to the Ox-Prince.
Gohan sighed then smiled. "I'm in."
"Well lets change!" Erasa exclaimed happily.
"Let's go." Gohan said to the blonde male before opening the door and walking to the room just to the right of their exit.
Once the two opened the room to their door, Gohan remembered something. "Damn. I don't have any shorts or swim trunks. Guess I can't swim." Gohan said, letting out a fake sigh. He didn't plan on bailing out, but the oppurtunity to do so did present itself. He didn't want to show his body off to the others, so he was secretly happy, although he made it look like he was saddened by it.
"Nah, I got you." Sharpener said, throwing him a pair of blue shorts. "They should fit you." He said.
Damn it. "Thanks." Gohan said. He grabbed a pair of underwear and a white long sleeve shirt and headed to the bathroom to change.
Once the two had changed, they waited outside the door of their other two friends. After a few minutes that felt like hours, Erasa walked out of the room.
Erasa was in a blue bikini, a very revealing blue bikini...Her massive chest was barely covered at all. Gohan nor Sharpener couldn't help but stare, causing Erasa to blush and look away. About thirty seconds later Videl walked out. Gohan's jaw dropped to the floor. She is so beautiful... he thought. Sharpener snapped him out of his trance by pinching him.
"I've waited long enough. Lets go swim!" Sharpener said as he led the group to the pool.
Meanwhile, Videl was having rather interesting thoughts... Was he staring at me? Was Gohan checking me out? No way he would check me out! He was probably just looking at Erasa, but still, that isn't like him. He's so shy and naive, it's just hard to imagine. Videl thought as he looked to the spiky-haired teenage boy who appeared to be deep in thought. He looks cute when he's thinking. Wait what did I just think?
Gohan was in deep thought. He knew they would tell him to take his shirt off, but he couldn't! It would give Videl more reasons to suspect him of hiding more secrets, but then again, did he really have a choice?
After another thirty seconds or so of walking, the group entered the nearest pool-room.
"Last one in is a rotten egg!" Erasa shouted and ran towards the pool, Videl following just behind.
"No fair!" Sharpener shouted as he started to run.
What if I just slip and fall? Gohan thought. The room was empty besides the four of them, so it's not like anyone would actually make fun of him too much about it. Everyone else who wanted to swim was in one of the other pool-rooms, so he figure he'd be alright in doing so. The Demi-Saiyan started to run, but when he was only ten meters away from the pool, he slipped.
The three friends of his suddenly burst out laughing. Sharpener was actually crying from the laughter. "How-did-you-fall?" Sharpener asked, laughing between each word.
Once Gohan was up, he walked towards the pool. "So funny." He said and rolled his eyes causing the group to laugh some more. "Well, I'm coming in!" Gohan shouted.
"Wait! You should probably take your shirt off nerdboy." Sharpener said with a laugh. "I know that's probably how you do it in the mountains, but we don't swim with shirts on here." Sharpener said with a laugh.
"Haha, oh yeah. I must've forgot." Gohan said with a nervous chuckle. Gohan took a deep breath and did something that would reveal even more secrets about him. He took his shirt off.
Erasa's jaw dropped. Videl's jaw dropped. Even Sharpener's jaw dropped! Nerdboy was jacked! More jacked than him! Nerdboy! How was this possible!?
Sharpener rubbed his eyes, as did the two females. "Umm...Gohan...why did you never tell us that you were jacked??" Sharpener asked, still stunned.
"Uh, you never asked..." Gohan replied.
Videl and Erasa were in a completely different world. Oh my god he's shredded. Videl thought. She hadn't even noticed his muscular legs while they were walking. She found herself looking up from his feet to his head. Every part of him was amazing. Very muscular and defined. Again, she went up his legs to his thighs, the promise-land, his well toned abs, his muscular chest, and broad shoulders. He's so hot. Videl thought, mouth still wide open.
Meanwhile, Erasa was having similar thoughts. Oh my gosh! He is so hot! Who would've thought! I thought he was just a cute nerd, but he has the best body in the whole school! Maybe even the world! Wow! Just imagine what a guy with that kind of body would be like in bed... The bubbly blonde thought, her mouth drooling.
"Should I jump in now?" Gohan asked, blushing from the looks he was receiving.
"Go for it." Sharpener managed. Gohan then jumped into the pool causing a massive splash. "How much do you weigh!?" Sharpener asked, shocked by the size of the splash.
"I don't know." Gohan said with a laugh.
"And how are you so...shredded? You eat more for one meal then most small villages do for a feast!" Sharpener exaggerated.
"I guess it's just because I have a fast metabolism and there is nothing to do, but climb mountains, trees, and other things to do where I live. There are tons of weird ways to workout in the mountains." Gohan said with a chuckle.
"All I know, is I need to start doing whatever you're doing." The blonde male said.
"Let's have a chicken fight! I'm with Gohan!" Erasa shouted.
Of course she chooses to be with Gohan. Videl thought with a snort. Great. I have to be with Sharpener. Videl rolled her eyes. "Don't think anything of me being on your shoulders, Sharpener." She said as she hopped on top of Sharpener, piggy-back style. Erasa did the same with Gohan.
Gohan and Erasa moved to one corner of the pool, and Sharpener and Videl did the same.
Once each of the two tag teams was ready, Sharpener started the countdown.
"Ready. Set. GO!" He shouted.
