Chapter 1 – Long hallways.

The sound of the alarm was deafening, Gohan groaned in agony as the ear piercing screech continued. Sighing in defeat, Gohan reached out and stopped the alarm, '7:00 Am' he thought to himself, 'Do I have to do this every morning?'

It was Monday, the day Gohan would officially go to school for the first time, despite the seventeen year olds best efforts, he was unable to convince his mother that he didn't need to go to school. But being the stubborn woman she is, Chichi refused to allow her son to be a "Delinquent who spends his time fighting" as she put it. Rising from his bed, Gohan walked over to his cupboard and pulled out a dark blue T-Shirt, fresh boxers and some loose fitting jeans and preceded to the bathroom, the thought of a warm shower seemed very refreshing.

After his shower, Gohan walked to the kitchen, where he found his mother cooking up a meal that only a Saiyan could eat, the scent of the food was enough to make Gohans mouth water, and he wasted little time in devouring the food until there wasn't even a crumb left in sight. "Gohan you'd better get going" Chichi stated "Your principal said you have to arrive half an hour early to get your schedule".

Nodding his head in agreement, Gohan stood up from the table and gave his mum a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving for his first day as a normal student. "Thanks mum, breakfast was great as usual, I'll see you after school" he called as he took off into the sky.

The 500 mile journey to Satan City took just under 20 minutes, Gohan landed in an alley and continued to school on foot to hide his powers as Chichi instructed. Gohan did not understand why he would have to hide his powers, but he knew better than to disobey his mother.

Upon arriving at school, Gohan made his way directly to the Principals office. "You must be Son Gohan, am I right" the principal asked.

"Yes I am, it's a pleasure to meet you sir" Gohan replied, remembering his manners.

"No, the pleasures all mine; I have never witnessed a student of your intelligence. You managed perfect scores on all your entry exams, I can assure you, we are proud to have you here" Gohan just smiled nervously, he never liked to be in the spotlight.

"Anyway" The principal continued as he reached under his desk and produced a sheet of paper and a map, "This here is your timetable and locker number, and a map in case you get lost. Class starts in ten minutes so you better get going" he explained.

"Thank-you very much sir" Gohan said as he began his first day of school.

After exiting the office, and entering the long halls Gohan was in shock, here in front of him was a sea of students, all talking to one another and rushing to their next classes. The occasional student would give Gohan a quick glance, Gohan wanted to keep out of sight on his first day, but being so tall meant this was impossible. He walked nervously through the halls trying not to make eye contact, counting the lockers, Gohan finally reached his.

As he began to pile his books in his locker, a buff meathead (No, not Sharpener) with brown hair stood beside Gohan, looking him up and down and glaring at him. Gohan gave the strange boy a questioning glance. "Can I help you?" he asked.

"You the new kid?" the jock asked

Gohan just shrugged, before responding with a simple "Yes"

"You got perfect scores didn't ya?"

Gohan smiled and nodded, oblivious to the boys' hostile tone.

The boy then went for a bit of intimidation and shoved Gohan, only to find he did not move an inch. It was then that Gohan noticed a large crowd of students around the two, among them was a short blonde, who bolted through the halls and out the doors to the court yard.

-In the Court Yard-

A tall, buff blonde male by the name of Sharpener, and a short black haired girl by the name of Videl Satan were conversing about various topics when there friend Erasa ran up to them, out of breath. The two raised gave her a questioning look as she struggled to talk, "Guys" she said when she finally got enough breath.

"What is it Erasa?" Videl asked.

"Jake is picking on another new kid" she informed her athletic friends.

Videl always disliked Jake, especially when he would pick on new kids, so she made it her job the stop him whenever she could, with the occasional help of Sharpener. No one dared get on Jakes bad side; he was the boxing champion of the school in back to back years.

"Where, are they?" Videl asked as she cracked her knuckles.

"Follow me" Erasa ordered as she bolted back through the doors.

The three friends reached the circle of students to find a tall boy, with black unruly hair standing in front of the boxer, looking slightly confused.

Videl rushed through the swarm of students in order to save the poor boy, but she wasn't quick enough, Jake threw a right hook, intending to hit Gohan Square in the jaw, but it was not to be. The students gasped at the sight, Gohan had brought the punch to a complete stop… With one finger. Videl stood in a state of shock 'Impossible' she thought.

Gohan was not happy, and it was clear on his face. "You have made a big mistake" Gohan claimed in a Vegeta type voice.

Jake then threw another punch with his free hand, only to miss his target once again; Gohan easily dodged it with a slight head movement. He then brought his knee into the stomach of the bully, who fell forward clenching his belly and groaning in agony, then Gohan brought a lightning fast punch down to his face, knocking him out cold.

His peers stood motionless, with eyes the size of dinner plates at the sight in front of them. Here stood a scrawny new kid, who had just knocked out one of the best fighters in the state without any effort. Gohan just grunted at the unconscious figure and proceeded to walk to class. The students quickly shuffled out of his way in an effort to not meet the same fate as Jake.

"Did you see that?" Erasa exclaimed.

"Well that depends, did you see the same thing as me?" Sharpener replied "Because I saw that kid, knock Jakes light out, with one punch"

"That was incredible" Erasa commented, "What do you think Videl?" The two looked over at their friend who seemed deep in thought.

'How the heck, that Jake may be a meathead, but he can fight. That new kid made him look like a child, not even I can beat him that easily' Her thoughts were then interrupted by her bubbly friend "VIDEL!" she screamed, causing Videl to stagger.

"What!" she snapped back.

"What do you make of that fight?"

"Well…" Videl began, only to be interrupted by the bell.

"Come on guys" Sharpener said "Let's get to class"

The three made their way to their first class of the day (Physics) and surprise, there stood Gohan at the door. Videl, Erasa and Sharpener all exchanged glances before walking towards him, they could tell that he looked somewhat uncomfortable, he was smiling at students as they walked in to class and greeted them with a 'hello', however all of them avoided eye contact with him, making him feel somewhat alone. So he turned his gaze towards his feet and avoided interaction.

'Man' He thought 'Making friends is going to be hard, why won't anyone talk to me? Maybe I shouldn't have hurt that Jake guy'

"Hello" came a cheery voice. Gohan snapped back to reality and looked down to see a small blonde looking up at him with a grin plastered on her face.

"Hello, I'm Gohan nice to meet you" Gohan greeted with a smile. Erasa just giggled at the cute boy.

"I'm Erasa" she said as she motioned towards her friends "And these are my friends, Sharpener and Videl"

"Nice to meet you both" Gohan greeted once more. The one known as Sharpener held out his hand towards Gohan and the two shook hands.

"That was some punch back there" Sharpener said.

Gohan just rubbed the back of his head and laughed, "Gee thanks, it was nothing though"

"You can come sit with us if you want" Erasa burst out.

"Really? Because you don't have to" Gohan responded.

"No it's fine, come on" Erasa said as she grabbed by the hand and lead him to their seats at the back of the room. Gohan then felt as if someone was staring at him and looked over at the black haired girl, to see her glaring at him.

Slightly confused, Gohan asked "Is something wrong?"

"How did you do it?" She said

"Do what?"

"Beat Jake with such ease, because you don't look very fit and I doubt you have much fighting experience if you got perfect test scores"

Gohan look at the girl dumfounded. "Well you're awfully quick to jump to conclusions aren't you" Gohan claimed.

Videl was fuming, 'How dare he. No one talks back to a Satan' but before she could open her mouth, Gohan was talking again.

"First of all, I have been training in martial arts since I was four or five, and secondly…" Gohan trailed off as he stood up and unzipped his jacket and took it off, revealing his perfectly sculpted arms.

Videl and Sharpener looked on in shock, and Erasa has hearts in her eyes. They also couldn't help but notice a large scar running down his left arm (It's from Cell).

'Holy crap!' Videl thought 'This guy wasn't lying, his arms are perfect, and I've never seen someone like this, especially a teenager'

"Sorry" Videl said softly.

Gohan just smiled brightly, "Hey that's ok, and I shouldn't have said that about you, I'm sorry as well"

Videl just grinned slightly and chuckled. Sharpener and Erasa looked at each other in confusion. Videl was always suspicious of new people and she never, ever apologized to anyone.

Class went on without anything exciting happening. It was now lunch time, and the group of four sat down under a tree and began to eat.

"Did you forget lunch Gohan?" Erasa asked, noticing he didn't have anything with him.

"Hehe, no I would never forget that" He said, he then pulled out a capsule and threw it to the ground, producing a feast fit for a saiyan (or about 500 humans). Sharpener, Erasa and Videl all looked at Gohan in shock. "Are you sure this is enough?" They said in unison, causing Gohan to laugh.

"I sure hope so" He grinned and rubbed the back of his head again. The three sweat dropped at his comment. They then watched as Gohan began to devour everything in sight, without taking a single breathe. Many students looked on his disgust at the eating habits of the new kid.

"When was the last time you ate Gohan?" Videl questioned.

"This morning, why?" he asked between bites.

"Do you eat like this all the time?"

"Well, usually more, but I couldn't fit anything else in my capsule, so this has to do"

They all looked at him like he was crazy, but he was so captivated by the flavours in his mouth that he didn't notice. After finishing his feast, the group began to talk about various topics.

"Gohan, do you know Videl's father is?" Erasa asked while giggling.

"Er, should I?" Gohan replied.

"She's the daughter of Hercule Satan!" she exclaimed, awaiting Gohan's response.

'Damn Erasa, why do you have to do this? Now he will just want to be friends with me because of my father, he is going to explode now' Videl thought in defeat.

"Well, that's… Cool I guess" Gohan said with little interest.

'Does he not care?' Videl couldn't believe it, sure she wanted to be treated as a normal person and not the champs daughter, but she had to ask.

"Don't you care?" She burst out.

"Well, not really" Gohan began "your father doesn't really define how I see you, and even so, it's not really that great"

"Not that great?!" sharpener exploded in anger "He's the world champion and saviour of the world, has your father ever done that?"

"Well yes" Gohan responded.

Once again, all eyes were on Gohan.

"Who then?" Sharpener asked a bit calmer.

"Son Goku" Gohan said without missing a beat. The three stared in shock, they had watched some old tapes of the WMAT at Videls house, and happened to find the legendary bout between Son Goku and King Piccolo, and it had left them in awe.

Videl never admitted it, but she thought that he was much stronger than her father.

'What else are you hiding, Son Gohan?'
