Chapter 1:

"Bye boys, I'm leaving now. See you soon!"

Sixteen year old Gohan woke up to the sound of a smashing door. "What's going on? Oh, right I have to cook for us now. Goten must be starving already. Where is the little guy? GOTEN!"

While Gohan exited their shared room, an orange blur shot back inside and latched onto his legs. "Big Brotheeeeer! You're finally awake! I've been waiting for HOURS now and I saw this really big butterfly and then I went and.. "Goten began telling, but Gohan interrupted him by ruffling his hair, effectively making Goten stop talking and laughing instead.

"I'll start on breakfast, I don't think Mum had the time to do so this morning." Gohan started walking to the kitchen but got a nice surprise as the entire table was stacked with all his favorite food. On his plate however, he found a note.

Dear Gohan,

Normally when I leave you take care of breakfast, but today's special since you're going to start High School. I hope you didn't forget that! School starts at 9 and it's a 30 minute travel on Nimbus. Don't be late, you need to make a good impression on your first day!

Love, Chi Chi

Ps: You are NOT allowed to wear your gi to school. Wear normal clothes!

'I'm starting today? How could I forget that!' Gohan thought and quickly acted by inhaling the food, no need for etiquette when Mum's away anyway. "Gwhothewn kcahn wyhu tvjchehck whnamt timh id iszh?" (Goten, can you check what time it is?)

Goten, being fluent in Chownese, understood the question immediately and answered " There's one stick pointing at the 8 and the other to the 3, I'm not sure what that means but I do know it's early. Oh, Mum also told me to tell you that you shouldn't forget your lunch."

Gohan was done eating by the time Goten finished his sentence, effectively clearing 3/4th of the table of its content, even some bowls were missing but accidents like that were to be expected in the Son household. "Thanks for the reminder Goten, I don't think I could forget something as important as that but still. I left you some food, did Mum cook you something to eat for the day or are you going to hunt yourself?"

"Thank you Big Brother! I think Mum left me some, but I'll hunt if it's not enough. Mr. T-Rex' tail is starting to grow back again so I might take a slice of that. Mmmmmh T-Rex tail." Goten was off dreaming.

Meanwhile Gohan was getting ready, he knew there was a school uniform. While it was a good way to hide his body, it wasn't very good looking. Even he saw that, who designed that thing! "I'll just go with some dark blue jeans and a black sweater. For gym I'll take that white long sleeved shirt and some baggy pants. Then I'm done I guess. Oh wait the star! Where did I put that thing?"

8:28

"Alright Goten, I'm leaving. Will you be okay all by yourself?" Gohan asked. If he was honest to himself he was a bit concerned. Goten always had people around him. Luckily, his mother had planned for that.

"Yeah, Mum asked Grampa to come over! We can play and I can show him this new trick and" Goten started but was again interrupted by Gohan.

"Good, tell Gramps I said hi! See ya and behave! NIMBUUUS!" Gohan shouted the last part and jumped in the air. A yellow cloud came racing to him and caught him in mid-air. "Nimbus, I need you to bring me to Orange Star High. Please hurry, I don't want to be late." Gohan asked the cloud. Nimbus responded by speeding up a bit.

20 minutes later, Satan City came in view.

"Aaah, nice and peaceful. Just the way I like my cities. Too bad they named it after that fraud, otherwise I might consider moving here during the academic year." Gohan mumbled to himself while enjoying the view down below. "Wait is that a-a-a-A BEN&JERRY's store! O wow they have everything here! Awesome, and only a couple of minutes from my school!"

8:58

Gohan landed on the roof, thanked Nimbus and descended down to the principal's office. He was greeted by a blond receptionist, who wasn't really that enthusiastic to see him. "Hi what can I do for you and make it quick."

Gohan was a bit taken aback by this, most people he interacted with were nice and open, not counting Vegeta, but this woman was just rude. Not one to be impolite he answered "Good morning Miss. I'm here to retrieve my schedule, it's my first day here. My name is Son Gohan. I hope it's not too much a hassle."

The receptionist was looking at him wide-eyed. This was the first time she was spoken to politely, which was saying much since she's been working here for over 15 years! "Wow, I didn't expect someone so polite entering OSH. I think I saw your schedule somewhere here. Aah yes, there it is. Here you go, enjoy your stay! Your first class is on the second floor, Mathematics. Just tell the teacher you're new and he'll introduce you. Do you have any more questions?"

Gohan was shocked how much her attitude had changed, but he figured it was a thing woman just did. After all, his mother did it all the time and don't even start about Bulma. O well, time to get going.

Room 217 – Mathematics

Gohan knocked on the door and entered the classroom when he heard someone call him from the inside. 'Wow, this room is larger than my house. And it's filled with people my age!' Gohan started to think happily, but soon had another, bit more shocking thought for the shy demi-saiyan 'And they're all staring at me! What should I do now?'

Thank Kami for the teacher, asking him "What can I do for you young man?" Otherwise he'd still be frozen in place in front of the entire class.

"I'm a new student here, Son Gohan sir." Gohan answered with a bow. "I'm sorry I'm late I had to pick up my schedule at the principal's office.

"Yes, I've heard about you. Nice to meet you I'm Mr. Pi" The teacher answered and turned to the class. "Class, this young man is going to join us in the wonderful world of Academics and will be your classmate for the upcoming year. I hope you'll welcome him warmly. His name is Son Gohan and he scored perfectly on every class that we give at this school. Class, do you have any questions for him?"

Some girl in the back immediately called out "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Gohan sweatdropped after this question and thought 'What's up with all these woman? Is that the only thing they're interested in?' "No, I don't have a girlfriend. I'm from the 439 Mountain Area so I don't know that many people my age."

Most of the class was baffled by his answer, the 439 Area is 500 kilometers away! It effectively ended Gohans' interrogation, more so because the girls in the class got an answer to the most important question anyway. 'Now if only he could find a spot to sit..'

"Hey cutie! Over here! Come sit next to me." A blond girl called out. She was wearing a green tank top, which looked way too cold for comfort.

'Pfew, at least someone in this city is nice to strangers. I was a bit worried I wouldn't be able to make friends. But if she's this accepting with just seeing me I'll have some in no time!' Were Gohan's thoughts, as he walked up the stairs to his new seat. "Uhm, this chair is broken and the table of the other one is broken off." Gohan started but the girl pointed to the table on her other side.

"You can sit between me and Sharpener, normally our friend Videl sits there but she's currently away to a tournament and won't be coming back for a whole month! Oh my name's Erasabell, but everyone calls me Erasa." The girl, apparently called Erasa, told him.

"Thank you Erasa and I'm assuming you're Sharpener?" Gohan asked the blond boy next to him, extending his hand to him. "I hope I'm not stealing your friends' seat, I don't want to impose."

"The other chairs will be fixed somewhere next week so you should be fine." Sharpener stated as he took Gohan's hand and tried to squish it a bit. Gohan hardly felt it, which shocked Sharpener a bit. 'I must be still waking up, my muscles probably need some time to get ready to squish some ass later.' Sharpener thought to himself.

"Pleasantries can wait till after class, I would like to start teaching if you don't mind!" An irritated Mr. Pi called out to them, effectively shushing them. "Alright, last time we talked about Pythagoras. Who can give me…"

'Man, his first class was boring! I already learned this stuff before Piccolo started to train me! O well, at least the classes won't be hard for me. Maybe I can doodle a bit and after that make a schedule to keep up with my training and still meeting regularly with the others.' Gohan's thoughts were however interrupted when Mr. Pi asked him a question.

"Gohan, since you're new here let's see if you can keep up with this class. I know you had an entrance exam but let's see how well you perform on the spot." Said Mr. Pi, while writing "Difficult" equations on the chalkboard.

" The first unknown is 5.43, the second 7.12, the third is 146.87 and the final one is 1107.03, but if you want it to be relevant to the material you are teaching you should change the last + into a -, then the answer is 706.76." Gohan answered, making some of the jocks laugh since it looked like he was spitting out random numbers.

Mr. Pi was shocked however, not only because everything he said was correct, but also because HE had been corrected! "In all my years' son, I never had a student this advanced. All answers are correct." Mr. Pi told Gohan, all laughing stopped as everybody could see the admiration in Mr. Pi's eyes for the new guy.

Then, before more questions or comments were being made, the bell rang. All students got up and went to their next class.

"So, Gohan" Erasa started while they were walking to their next class. "What are your hobbies? Is this your first time in the city? Do you have electricity where you live? Any pets, or do you just eat every animal that comes near you? Have you ever been on a date? And what about"

That's when Sharpener cut her off. "Rase, I know you're interested in the new guy but at least give him some time to answer if you're questioning him." Making Gohan laugh awkwardly.

"Well to answer your questions, I love outdoor activities. I live near a lake, some mountains with deep caverns and a vast forest. We also have some family sport I practice. I go to West City almost every weekend and I have a part time job there so I have been to a city before but it's the first time I'm in Satan City. Yes we do have electricity, we have our own generator. As well as running water if you're wondering" Gohan added the last part with a blush. 'It's not like we're savages, although we could survive without.'

"Oh and no, I've never been on a date before but I've been told it's a lot of fun!"

Sharpener snickered at this, Erasa was trying to get Gohan into their little group and would then try to date him. 'Poor guy, he didn't seem too bad. Just a bit scrawny and naïve but nobody's perfect I guess. I wonder what Videl will think of him and how he'll react to her.'

The sound of Erasa's voice made him snap out of his thoughts. "So Gohan, which school did you transfer from? Mr. Pi never told us and it must be a really good one since you're so smart!"

"Well actually, I was homeschooled by my mum my entire life. That was my first class ever and to be honest it wasn't quite as challenging as I was expecting." Gohan mussed. "But the social part of going to school really makes up for it." He added with a goofy smile and a hand behind his head.

Well, that's the end of chapter one. I'm planning to make this a long story. This is my first attempt to write a story, so I hope it's interesting enough to catch your attention. If not, well I'll still have some fun writing it.

Reviews are appreciated, requests involved with stuff you want in the story not so much.

Until next time,
