Author's Note: Hi y'all, so I'm working at my summer job and doing applications, which is why chapters haven't come out faster. I'm really sorry, but life comes before fanfic y'know? Now, to answer a few questions.
Are Gohan and Lime getting together? Gohan and Lime are the main pair here, but that doesn't mean Videl's gonna be the villain or anything, I love Videl.(well at least high school Videl, adult Videl is a bit disappointing) Videl's a strong character who knows what she wants and that's super admirable.(albeit, the stalking is kinda creepy)
As for why Gohan is a goober? What do you mean? Gohan is the ultimate goober, *insert any saiyaman line*
Anyways, Gohan and Lime are gonna be a couple by the Fall Ball, so look forward to that I guess. Anyone wanna teach me how to make stuff fluffy? I kinda suck at it. Help? Please?
Chapter 7:
Gohan was almost late to class again but with a burst of super speed, he managed to enter just as the bell rang.
"Mr. Son, I don't particulary care about your grades but do ya know what we'd do to students who are late back down in the good ol' south?"
"Umm, No sir."
"We make em hold water buckets."
"Umm okay?"
"Here," Mr. Scissors tossed a pair of buckets towards Gohan and said, "fill em up with water and hold them out in the hallway. I'll tell you when to come back. Don't worry boy, this is how we got strong down in the south. It'll put some muscle in that skinny frame of ya."
Gohan easily caught the buckets and looked at the teacher oddly but proceeded to do as told.
After ten minutes, Mr. Scissors popped outside. Normally most students wouldn't be able to hold onto 3 gallon buckets for that long and expected to either hear the student drop the buckets or find them cheating when he went outside. However, Gohan was holding onto the buckets effortlessly, which surprised Mr. Scissors.
"Oh! Can I go back inside yet?"
"Grrr, yea sure boy. Dump out the water and give the buckets back to me."
Gohan did as told and a significantly grumpier Mr. Scissors went back to teaching.
With some of the usual orange star hijinx out of the way, the gang made their way outside for lunch.
Lime looked significantly shitier today but when questioned about it, she wouldn't say what happened.
After the day passed, everyone went home or to their club, a relatively boring day. As was the rest of the week. The first exams of the term were coming up and despite how everyone acted, most people at Orange Star High valued their grades intensely. There was always fierce competition between students and everyone was always looking for a way to boost their grades.
Most people spent the weekend studying, but Gohan, already well versed in the subject only needed some cursory reviewing to prepare for the test. After he brought Lime back home, he spent the weekend lazing around, training in the mountains and tutoring Goten.
He didn't get a single message from Lime. Instead, he got a message from Erasa asking if he knew why Lime wasn't picking up her calls at night. Gohan didn't have a clue and told Erasa he had no idea.
A week after they bought the fabric, Lime messaged Gohan and told him to come to the roof early that morning.
When Gohan dropped down to the roof of the school, he was greeted by a dead tired Lime who showed off her handmade costume to Gohan. It was surprisingly well made and after Gohan tried it out, it really fit him.
Gohan jumped up into the air and flew around, doing a few aerial tricks. He did a few punches and kicks in the air and said, "it fits like a glove. Thank you so much!"
Lime smiled and said, "you're welcome."
Gohan gave Lime a big hug and said, "No really, thank you."
Lime sighed and said, "like I said, you're welcome you big goober."
. . . . . . . .
"Umm, Gohan? You can let go now."
"Huh? Oh! Right!"
Gohan clicked his watch and switched back into his school clothes and opened the door to the roof.
"Let's get to class then, we have an exam today."
Lime froze in her tracks, "exam? Shit! I forgot!"
After a brief panic attack, Gohan managed to calm her down a little. "Alright, we have 20 minutes before first period. Time for some super cramming. You ready?"
Lime, sleep deprived and slightly hallucinogenic, said "Yea!"
Gohan sat Lime down against the staircase on the roof and pulled out all of the relevant books.
He turned to Lime and said, "Take a deep breath."
Lime took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I got this."
Gohan smiled and began teaching Lime everything she needed to know. Gohan, explained all the fundamental principles behind the materials and did so in a simple and concise manner. Even though he didn't manage to cover all the material, he covered enough for Lime to get a B if she remembered everything Gohan said. Which, despite Gohan's excellent teaching, wasn't looking too likely.
Lime was staring at the textbook, when the bell rang. Gohan gave Lime a hug and said, "Don't worry, you'll be fine."
Lime, looked up at Gohan's smiling face and somehow, she felt like everything would be okay. She felt a warm feeling dig itself deeper into her heart and she internally sighed, "why'd this guy have to such an idiot."
They made their way to the classroom and began their test. Lime furiously began filling in her test. She managed to fill in about half of the test, but began struggling after that. After another ten minutes of trying, she felt everything start to fade away and she found her head resting on the table, asleep.
Gohan had been constantly peeking over at Lime and when he saw her drop, he got really worried. He glanced up at Mr. Scissors, who was at his desk, reading the paper. Gohan began to panic for Lime and tried a few times to inconspicuously wake her up. He tapped her arm, nudged her under the table and kicked her foot a little, but none of it worked.
Gohan was starting to get a little desperate here. He wasn't an idiot, he knew exactly why Lime was so tired. She had been up all week making his costume. The handiwork on that costume was incredibly impressive and when Gohan was wearing it, he felt his heart warm. Each stitch on that costume was done by her and the costume was made just for him.
He took a deep breath and began focusing his ki. Lime's head gently began to lift from the table and her hand began to fill in the bubbles. It took a couple minutes to get the proper motions in place, but eventually Gohan figured it out and aside from Lime's rolled back eyes, no one would be able to see anything wrong. Gohan had Lime slightly hunched over the desk in order to hide the rolled back eyes.
After Gohan finished Lime's test, he gently put her arms on the table and put Lime's head down on the table, face down. He then turned to his test. He had about 8 minutes left, but since he had just finished the test, he had most of the answers still in his head. He quickly filled in the bubbles and finished the test with just a few seconds to spare.
The final bell rang and after that grueling hour and a half test, everyone got up and handed their tests in to Mr. Scissors. Gohan took Lime's test and handed it in for her. After they finished the test, Gohan tried his best to wake Lime up and after shaking her a little, he managed to get her up.
"How was your nap?"
Lime got up, looked down at her desk and immediately panicked. "Wait, what? Where's the test? Aw crap, did I fall asleep during the test?"
Gohan nodded, but then he leaned in and whispered into her ear, "Don't worry, I helped you finish your test. You'll be fine."
"What!? What's that supposed to mean?"
"Well, I got you to get up and finish the test."
Lime stared at Gohan with intrigue, "and how did you manage that?"
Gohan turned to the pencil on her desk and lifted it up using his ki. Lime's eyes went wide.
"Wait, so you basically puppeteered me and helped me finish my test like that?"
Gohan nodded. Lime, was unsure how to feel. While it was obviously a kind gesture and done with goodwill, it still kind of felt like an invasion of privacy for him to just move her body around like that.
"So, you can control people?"
"Oh no, people are too strong for ki based telekinesis, they'd break out of it in a heartbeat. You'd need to have a special telekinesis ability, like Chaotzu or Guldo."
". . . who?"
"Uhh, don't worry about it, just know that I can't normally do stuff like that. I was only able to because you were in such deep sleep. I only did it because umm well, I wanted to help you and repay you for the costume and everything and you looked so worried about the test that I couldn't just watch and let you fail."
Lime sighed, even though she felt mildly uncomfortable about the puppeteering, she was knew it came from a good place.
She sneered and whispered into Gohan's ear, "Y'know, if you really wanted to, you could use that ability to do a lot of naughty things."
Gohan's face turned beet red and he began babbling like an idiot. "
Lime poked him on the nose and said, "I'm just kidding, you idiot."
Gohan looked down at his feet, unsure of how to answer.
"Come on, let's go to lunch, Erasa and the rest are waiting for us."
"R-right!"
As the days dragged on, the end of September was beginning to near and Erasa, the queen of gossip, began to talk about all the pairings that popped up for the dance.
"Hey, did you hear? Amarillo asked out Fifa for the dance!"
"Perfect, he's a fucboi and she's a gold digger, it's like a match made in heaven."
"Oh really? How about you Videl? Anyone caught your eye?"
*sigh*, "No, I don't have time for that right now."
"Aww, but there's so many cute guys at this school. No one on the volleyball team? How about the swim team? They've all got abs."
Videl turned and stared at Erasa.
"Okay okay, fine I'll stop teasing you," she turned her head towards Lime and said,"how about you little miss vixen?"
"Huh? Where'd that come from?"
"Oh, it's something I came up with just now, I think it works for you. Y'know, cause you're so feisty."
"Uhhhh, sure I guess?"
"So you found yourself a date already? Without telling me?"
"What? No, I meant sure to the vixen thing."
"Oh. Well how about Gohan, you two are already such great friends and he's super cute too."
Lime turned a shade of pink and stubbornly shook her head, "I don't think that idiot knows what liking someone is."
"Big yikes."
"Yea, it's fine though, he's a fun friend to have."
As if just on cue, Gohan walked in and sat down in his seat. His eyes darted up as if he were trying to remember something and then he flashed Lime a flirtatious smirk and held her hand asking, "Did it hurt?"
Lime was taken aback and confused, "what?!"
"When you fell from heaven my little angel?"
uwu?
