What Can I Do To Make You Love Me?
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the DBZ characters. I only own Nicholas, Lindsey, Natalie, David, Josh, Justin, Ashley, Tiffany and the teachers.
A/N: I haven't done a Gohan/Videl fic before so bare with me kay? This doesn't take place in the normal timeline it's just something I wanted to do. I've got major writer's block for "Revenge Is Sweet, Death Is Sweeter." Gomen!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The early morning sunrays shone through Son Gohan's bedroom window. He opened one eye and stretched, he turned over to the clock beside his bed and smiled. Today was the first day of school and he was happy for one reason. No, not because it's the first day of school (gasp), the reason was he hadn't seen Videl in over two months. She had gone on vacation with her father and he couldn't wait to see her. **Of course it's not like she's my girlfriend or anything!** Gohan thought to himself as he went to go take a bath. Gohan and Videl had gotten to be pretty good friends but that was all it was at the moment, just good friends, but something inside Gohan wanted to be more than that. He got dressed in a navy-blue sweatshirt and a pair of jeans. He sat down at the table and wolfed down the food with his father and brother and rushed out of the door.
"BYE GOHAN!" Chi-Chi yelled as she waved goodbye. Gohan waited outside Orange Star High for Videl. After about ten minutes Videl walked towards him with a crowd of four people with her. Ashley Bennington a blonde cheerleader, Justin Fordham a brown haired football player, Tiffany Mitchell another cheerleader and Josh Harris a big wrestler. Gohan recognised them and was surprised that she was with them. **What the heck is she doing with Ashley's gang?** None the less he waved to her but she ignored him.
"Hey Videl!" He called out but she still walked right pass him. He could have sworn that Josh Harris had given him a mocking smirk. He raised an eyebrow in confusion. Someone tapped him on the shoulder but he didn't pay any attention to them. The person tapped again and Gohan spun around.
"What?!" He snapped.
"Geez Gohan! What's wrong with you?" A girl with long red-brown hair asked him.
"Gomen nasai Nat! I was just thinking." Gohan replied.
"About what? How to attack the next guy that tries to tap you on the shoulder?" Natalie asked but Gohan was still staring at the direction Videl had gone. Natalie shook her head and dragged Gohan into school. They walked into homeroom and sat with the rest of their friends. Nicholas, a tall, dark haired guy waved at them.
"Hey guys." Lindsey said. She had short blonde hair and green eyes. "What's with Gohan?"
"He's off in another world." Natalie laughed. David Finch, another one of their friends, came to sit down with them. He also had blonde hair but he had blue eyes.
"Finch!" Nicholas said raising his arms.
"Very funny Nicky." David replied and sat down. Gohan was still off in another world and wasn't paying attention when Videl and her new alliance walked in.
"I don't believe it! Why is Videl hanging around with those guys? Isn't that illegal or something?" Lindsey asked. Gohan looked up to see Videl hanging all over Josh and laughing at something he had said. Gohan felt his chi rising but managed to calm himself down so that no one would notice.
"It's a dark day when Lindsey cracks a joke." David said as Lindsey shot him a death glare.
"Ohmigosh!! Videl has joined the empire!! First Anakin and now her!! The apocalypse has come upon us!! Run like the wind Bullseye!" Nicholas shouted over-dramatising his every action and move. Natalie slapped him in the ribs.
"Videl…" Gohan said as he walked over to talk to her.
"Poor lovesick fool. He doesn't know that she's traded in all her integrity for a black cloak and a really ugly helmet." Nicholas said.
"I knew we shouldn't have watched Star Wars." David muttered. Gohan walked up to Videl.
"Ohayo Videl-san." Gohan said shyly. Videl looked up at him. Her face had so much make-up on that he almost didn't recognize her.
"May I help you?" Videl said irritated. This surprised Gohan but he kept his cool.
"I was just gonna ask you how your summer was." Gohan said but Videl just shot him a glare.
"Not that it's any of your business but my summer was fine now if you'll excuse me I was having a conversation." Videl spat at him. Gohan looked hurt and went back to sit with his friends.
"So, what did she say?" Lindsey asked eagerly.
"She was so rude…I can't believe it was her. She seemed so, I dunno, Cruella-esque." Gohan said.
"I'm not surprised. That gang is a bad influence…God I'm starting to sound like my mom! Can we change the subject?" Natalie said.
"Maybe she's PMSing?" Nicholas said as both girls slapped him upside the head. "What?!"
"Look at her. Hanging all over Josh like he was some sort of…hanging equipment." Gohan seethed.
"Mmm hmm! You go girlfriend!" Nicholas said as the gang burst out into laughter. The teacher came in and called the role call.
"Adams!" "Here."
"Bennington!" "Present!" Ashley called out. "Damn." Nicholas said and got a death glare from Ashley.
"Campbell." "Wazzuuuuuupp." Natalie said.
"Cartelli." "Roger that." Lindsey said.
"Cunningham." "Here."
"Dolorous." "Here."
"Finch." "No."
"Fordham." "Here."
"Harris." "Here."
"Johnson." "Here."
"Martinez." "Here."
"Satan." "Here."
"Son." "Present."
"Summers." "In the house." Nicholas replied. The teacher just shook her head.
"I have a few announcements to make! Mr Arbuckle has announced that there will be a Winter Ball coming up next week and he needs some helpers to set up the gym." Mrs Ripley said.
"Ah, by helpers he means anyone who has anything to do with the school's athletic department." Gohan joked.
"You've been hanging around Nicky way too long." David said as Nicholas nodded in agreement. The bell for first period rang and they got up. As Gohan and co walked out of the room they heard Videl say.
"Geeks always travel in large numbers I see." She said as the rest of the gang laughed.
"Why I oughta…" Natalie said as she raised one of her sleeves but Nicholas held her back.
"Easy girl." He said.
"I wonder what happened to her. She's such a bitch! Sorry dude." David said to Gohan.
"Lots of people change when they are away from home for long periods of time. That's life Gohan." Lindsey said patting Gohan on the shoulder as everyone sweat dropped.
Science class…
"Alright people, today we're gonna play around with this stuff." Mr Tomlinson said holding up some slimy purple gunk.
"What is it?" someone asked.
"I told you Finch! You left your brain in the science department! This must be your lucky day!" Nicholas said as the class sniggered.
"Unfortunately Mr Summers this isn't Mr Finch's brain, it seems to be a lot more lively." More snickers from the class. "So as per usual experiment means partners so I'll be pairing you up!" Gohan silently prayed that he wouldn't be paired up with Videl but it appeared that Lady Luck wasn't with him today.
"Great! Paired up with the king of the nerds. Since this is your type of thing I'll let you do the work." Videl said as she turned around and started talking to Tiffany who was paired up with Lindsey.
"Ever get the feeling your being ignored?" Gohan asked.
"Oh no, not at all!" Lindsey replied. She got a devilish smile and cut off a piece of the purple gunk and put it down Tiffany's top. Tiffany felt the gunk and started hopping around trying to get it out.
"Hey everybody! Do the Bunny Hop!" Nicholas said in a high-pitched voice, the class started to laugh as Tiffany ran out of the classroom. Gohan high-fived Lindsey and got back to work.
Lunch break…
"So who are you gonna go with to the dance?" Lindsey asked. They were leaning against their lockers waiting for the boys to come from lunch.
"Me and Nicky will most probably be playing at the dance so we might go together." Natalie replied.
"Ooh! Is there something going on that I should know about?!" Lindsey squealed.
"No! It's just convenient that's all."
"Mmm hmm."
"Who you going with?"
"I'd love to go with Josh but he's way out of my league." Lindsey said.
"Correction! More like you're out of his league that dumb blonde." Natalie huffed.
"Hey!"
"Oh yeah. Sorry." Natalie said rubbing her hand behind her head sheepishly. The boys returned from lunch.
"Hey girls! Can I ask you a question?" Gohan said shifting from one foot to the other.
"Sure." Lindsey replied.
"Do you think I'm a nerd?"
"Of course not!! If you're talking about those stupid jocks lemme tell you something that'll comfort you. These are the best years of their lives!" Natalie said.
"Yeah! I mean come on! I've got more brains than all of them put together!" David said.
"And that is a scary thought indeed my friend." Nicholas said as the gang walked off. Videl appeared from around the corner.
"If this doesn't make you mine Gohan I don't know what will." Videl said as she watched Gohan leave. "Aishiteru my one and only."
End of part one.
