Gohan was laying down on his bed going over the events of this month in his head. He mostly thought about all the harsh training he had done. Well that was until his mother enrolled him into Orange Star High School saying that he needed a break from his training and that he needed to focus more about his future.
It had been about two weeks since Gohan had first started school. Gohan had started to adapt to his new routine. Everyone had finally stopped their verbal assaults on him for being a nerd. People quit staring at him after the first week, although he would occasionally catch a group of girls staring at him and giggling every once in a while.
He actually managed to make a few friends too. There was Sharpner, a jock with long blonde hair and rather inflated ego. There was also Erasa, a short haired blonde who seems a little ditzy. And then there was Videl; the daughter of the ever so famous Hercule Satan.
The very same man who took his credit about beating Cell. The man who made his friends outcasts with his constant remarks about their "tricks". And the very same man who was constantly putting his father's name to shame by claiming he wasn't a real fighter and that he was a coward.
He felt himself getting angry so he distracted himself by looking around his room. His eyes quickly found the calendar hanging on his door and frowned. Next week would mark eight year since the worst day in his life. The day the Gohan made a mistake that would haunt him for the rest of his life. That day was the eight year anniversary of The Cell Games. The eight year anniversary of his father's death.
Gohan closed his eyes as a huge wave of guilt washed over him. If only he finished Cell when his father had told him instead of toying with him. Maybe his father would still be here, Goten would finally have a father, and his mother would finally have her husband back.
His thoughts were interrupted when someone yelled. "Gohan breakfast is ready" he heard his mother yell from down stairs. He gave a loud sigh and got ready for school, then headed downstairs.
