The bell went for registration just as Vegeta reached the school gates. He didn’t bother running though, he continued at his leisurely pace till he reached the classroom door. He opened it, walked in and sat down in his place at the back, next too the window.
"Vegeta do you know what time it is?" Mrs Kelly stared at him, hands on her hips. He turned his attention from the window, looked at the clock on the wall behind him and said,
"It’s 9:15 Mrs Kelly." A couple of people sniggered, her nostrils flared.
"And do you have a reason for being a quarter of an hour late?"
"Well you see Mrs Kelly I…"
"No Vegeta I do not want too hear any of your foolish excuses!"
"But you just said…" He began but was cut off again,
"You will not talk back too me! I’ll see you at lunchtime, when you’ll have too make up for all the time you’ve wasted here, not too mention you tardiness! And your school uniform! I will not even bother too start on that." Vegeta opened his mouth too say ‘that if she hadn’t bothered talking too him in the first place then he wouldn’t have wasted any time at all,’ but thought better of it.

Goku sat trying not too fall asleep as Mr Mannion, his form teacher, began talking about special assemblies, extra curricular activities, and some other boring stuff. He was their P.E teacher and so Goku was easily his favourite because of his sporting skills, and would manage to escape detention because of the excuse ‘I need too train for the up coming game!’
The bell went for first lesson making Goku jump. Everyone stood up to leave,
"Hey Krillin, what have we got?" He called across the classroom.
"English with Mr Goduti," Krillin shouted back as he waited for his friend at he door.
"Aww man!" Goku whined,
"I know bummer." 18 said as she joined them, and they began too walk down too the English corridor, "You know," she continued, "I was just talking too Marron…"
"You were talking to who?" Krillin said in disbelief,
"Marron, Krillin!" Goku said laughing, "Didn’t you hear her right?"
Krillin looked at him then shook his head and turned back too 18, "Why were you talking too her?"
"Mr Mannion’s talk was so boring I had too do something and unluckily I’m sat next too her. Anyway, she was going on and on about how she thought that Yamcha was ‘the one’ and how she could really see this going somewhere and how much she loved him…"
"But Yamcha’s not exactly the type of guy who likes too be tied down," Krillin said looking at his shoes. "Poor Marron, she’s gonna get her heart broken." He said, his voice sounded sad.
18 stopped dead. "And why would that bother you Krillin?" She said her voice icy. Both her and Krillin were prone too be a little jealous, and Krillin sticking up for his ex certainly didn’t help.
"Oohh you’ve done it now Krillin!" Goku said laughing again,
"18 wait I didn’t mean…" but she’d already stormed off. "I’ll talk too her at break," He said as him and Goku carried on through the stream of people.

Meanwhile…
Bulma and Chichi were still hanging around the lockers,
"Damn, damn, damn!" Chichi shouted, her voice amplified by the fact that she had her head in her locker. Bulma was brushing her hair in the mirror that was stuck too the inside of her own locker door.
"Still can’t find it huh?" She asked as she fiddled with her fringe. Chichi had lost her maths book and needed it for the lesson that they were just about to have with the new teacher, Mr Mynott. The corridors were now deserted; every one was at their lessons.
"Oh wait, no its in my bag!" she shouted, "It was in my stupid damn bag the whole time!" The expression on her face was half way between amusement and anger and Bulma couldn’t help but laugh at the end result.
"It’s not funny we’re late now!" Chichi said, but then smiled, "Oh well at least this will give us chance too have a little girlie chat without anyone else over-hearing,"
They began walking towards the stairs that lead too the maths block, but very, very, slowly.
"We’re going to have too find you a boyfriend." Chichi said matter of factly, "is there any one you like? With your looks you shouldn’t have trouble getting pretty much anyone."
"I dunno," Bulma said, she thought, the only guys that she’d really met so far were Goku Krillin and Vegeta. And two of those were already taken. Vegeta was okay though…
"You’re blushing," Chichi said, "Come on who are you thinking about?"
"Oh God am I? Well okay, I was just thinking about Vegeta and that he was kind of alright."
She looked at Chichi, who was still looking at her,
"Just alright?" she questioned, "Just alright makes you blush?"
"Okay," Bulma continued, "He’s more than alright,"
"Well I wasn’t expecting you to like him!" Chichi said, "Though I guess he is kinda cute in his own little way. I should warn you though Bulma I’ve known Vegeta as long as I’ve known Goku, which is a bloody long time," She paused, "And he’s never really been that brilliant a boyfriend. I mean he’s been with his share of girls if the rumours rounds here are any thing too go by, but none of his relationships have lasted longer than a month. I think he’s scared of the commitment." Chichi looked at her friend, "But…there’s a first time for everything I guess. You just make sure that you knock him dead on Saturday, and I’ll get Goku to bring you into the conversation a lot!"
They’d now got too the room they were looking for, tapped on the door and went inside.

After the lesson they had a 15-minute break, Goku made beeline for the canteen with Vegeta trailing along behind him.
The girls met up at the loos and went in too straighten up their make up, talk, and bitch about he school uniform. (Which was black trousers or skirt, a blue black and red school tie, white shirt, and a black blazer with the school emblem on the right breast pocket. Trainers were NOT allowed) Chichi told 18 about Bulma liking Vegeta, and Bulma made her swear on her life not too tell any one, which 18 agreed to.
Yamcha and Marron had a bit of fun in one of the spare class rooms, and Krillin went too give in his (finished) essay on Buddhism to Mr Palmer. He then hunted down 18, who was sitting outside on one of the benches in an in-depth conversation with Bulma and Chichi and apologised for upsetting her before, she graciously accepted and continued her conversation.
The bell then went for second lesson and there was a mad rush to get back inside.
"What lesson do we have now?" Bulma asked Chichi as they were shoved in through a door that was ridiculously to small for the amount of students that were trying too fit through it.
Once they were safely inside the corridor Chichi dug out her school planner.
"Oh crap! We're on the farm!" Chichi said, and wrinkled her nose in disgust.
"I didn't know the school had a farm." Bulma said as they walked back out side through a different door. They went around the teacher's car park and through a big Iron gate.
