Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Strawberry Adolescence ❯ West Capital Preparatory Academy ( Chapter 2 )

Strawberry Adolescence

Big thank you to Puar Briefs for giving my first review on this fic, it's nice to know there are huge Yamucha fans out there aside from myself. In terms of name spellings, if it bothers you if I use the romanized Japanese spelling for Bulma and Bra and I don't spell Trunks as Torankusu then I won't do that. I'm stuck on writing Trunks. Sorry if it hampered your reading experience. One more thing you will never see Marron, Bra, or Pan bickering with each other over the guys in any of my fics, why, because it drives me insane and ruins the quality of what could be a very good fic. Please review some more I love long ranting reviews.

Chapter One: West Capital Preparatory (cont.)

One of the most anticipated events at West Capital Prep was and still is, according to my daughter, the Winter Solstice Semi- Formal. It was like prom half way through the year, while the upperclassmen couldn't care less, we freshman believed it was the social event of the year. Every girl on my floor had been planning on what dress to buy, what guy to take, and the hairstyle to wear. It was a very hectic time, girls who weren't boarders were lucky, everyone else had to order their dress, shoes and other accessories by mail order. Whenever the mail came there was a mad dash to see if the brown parcels supposedly contained their "knock 'em out" outfit. I personally thought they were taking this too far then again I had my parents take me out of school for one day to get my shopping done. Getting a date was certainly not an issue for me. I was taking Jacqueline's previously mentioned love interest, Jaime. Poor Haley hadn't found a date; I was too lazy to help her find one.

The day of the Semi was a very lazy school day, no one really paid attention to the professors or the homework due the Monday when we came back from the weekend. Girls were daydreaming of a romantic evening and senior guys were thinking of the night with freshmen girls in the backseats of their cars. By the time it was 7:30, Jaime met me in the main lobby of the school and wolf whistled at my dress, perfect, just what I was going for. It was a light pink sheer spaghetti string number about 3½ inches above my knees with a magenta rose design embroidered on the right side of the dress. My lavender hair was thrown up in a sloppy yet elegant bun; white pumps finished the outfit off. Just to note it took a long time to find a picture of me that day to remember what I was wearing, it's an important fact. We met my "friends" there once we came in. Lorelei, another girl in the group, told me that my dress was absolutely stunning and Jacqueline agreed with her surprisingly and simply said it was perfect. In fact she was more amiable towards me then than she had ever been before. I was soaking up the compliments like a sponge. It made me think why I brought a sophomore as a date when with the way I looked I could have had a senior.

Jaime and I danced a lot in the beginning and I being a girl in the lab was easily pooped out after six very fast paced songs and only two slow dances. Haley handed me a fruity punch drink from the refreshments table and I resumed dancing. For the next hour it was pretty much the same routine I would dance the get a little drink from my roommate and take a breather. I did that about four or five times that night. Jacqueline or Lorelei or Zoë even Haley would wave at me excitedly while I danced, I originally thought it was because they were impressed with my dangerously, provocative dancing in front of our headmasters, turns out that wasn't the case at all.

I was dancing with some other guy, whose name I can't remember at the moment, when a horrible stabbing pain shot through my abdomen. It stunned me but I still continued dancing thinking it was my body saying my period is coming seeing as bad cramps are a warning sign of that monthly event. However the pain didn't stop it just got progressively worse but guys kept pulling me with them to dance I couldn't even find Jaime anymore. Technically I couldn't see very well at all because of the pain and the sweat dripping into my eyes. The pains continued to get faster and closer to each other. It didn't take long for me to realize I had to go to the bathroom really, really, really badly but those damn boys would not let me go. I finally shoved whoever the hell was holding me and ran out so fast I didn't hear the roaring laughter coming from the room. I ran to virtually all the bathrooms on the first floor of the school and all the doors were locked. So I had to run up seven flights of stairs while praying to Kami I wouldn't let my bowels go. I ran straight for the bathrooms on my floor only to find them locked as well. At that point I was sobbing the only thing I could think of to do was go to my dorm get a plastic bag from my closet put it underneath my dress and let go. It was a very unpleasant experience because not only did it happen once it came back for a second attack and another and another. By the time I had finished the dance was nearly over. I tied the bag and grabbed four more plastics bags to place it in. I threw the offensive sack down the used towel chute. I'd go downstairs and pick it up later. No one came up so ran to the shower room that was on the other side of the floor. It took me a long time to clean myself of the filth, like over an hour until I was satisfied. Once I put on my pajamas, a tank and some shorts, I walked to the door of Jacqueline's dormitory. I placed my ear against the door and was disgusted with what I heard.

"Did you see how fast she ran out of there?"

"I haven't laughed that hard in a long time! Hey do you think she ever found the floor with the unlocked bathroom?"

"Please I doubt it but if she did wouldn't it be great to see her face because they were all covered in saran wrap!"

The next voice was very distinct, Jacqueline, "I know! I was really hoping she would shit in her pants on the dance floor, it would have shown up everywhere on the dress she was wearing. By the way, Haley how much of that laxative stuff did you put in that punch?"

"Just a little in each cup," Haley replied, with unsure giggles.

"Well congrats, you can hang out with us all you want Haley."

"That bitch better think twice before she ever touches my man again. Oh I'm so glad that we got all those guys to dance with. Oh my Kami the little slut thought she looked so cool for dancing that way, what a loser," said Jacqueline.

"Jackie, Jaime was never your man to begin with."

"Yeah and you dance that a lot too."

"Zoë, Rosalyn," Jacqueline said.

"Yeah," they replied simultaneously.

"Do me and favor and shut the fuck up."

I ripped my ear away from the door and stormed back to the dorm. I wasn't about to let those bitches have the satisfaction of seeing me cry. Haley came in quietly two hours later thinking I was asleep. Her mousy brown hair covering hazel eyes that I wanted to stare into to figure out what in the hell possessed her to mess with Bulma Lingerie Briefs and think she could pull off that "I'm totally innocent" bullshit that she has probably pulled on me since day one.

In the morning Haley got up early and left before I woke up and it was a good thing too because I probably would have punched her out the moment I saw her. Throughout all my classes all I could hear was muffled laughter from my peers. I decided to eat my lunch in the courtyard to avoid Jacqueline and her peanut gallery. For once I was very focused on my work, I was whipping up a mean essay on Great Expectations and British literature was a hard class for me to grasp. I ran upstairs in to my room to pick up a text book only to find "Jackie" and crew standing in there.

"What the hell are you doing in here?" I asked sternly.

"Puhleeze, Bulma, don't tell me you're still upset about last night." Jacqueline said.

"Oh, just maybe. I mean you only made me the laughing stock of the school." I said coldly.

"Well don't worry about it we put everyone through that, isn't that right girls?"

Everyone replied with a nod or an "Uh- huh." Kami, I knew this was a cult right from the moment I met these people.

She continued, "We are giving you one more chance to join our group, you just have to complete your initiation process."

"And how exactly am I going to do that?" I asked her.

"Molto facile, dahling. All you have to do it slide down this chute," she informed me as she made a hand gesture to where unbeknownst to her I had dumped my waste.

"You expect me to trust you after that stunt you pulled yesterday. How about you go down that chute yourself just so I know it's safe," I said knowingly.

"Fine, my word Briefs you are such a baby but if I must."

And with that she opened the chute and jumped right in. She was screaming about how much fun she was having and how she was on top of the world. Oh my! I do declare I had forgotten to pick up the bag from the towel bin. I hope it holds becau-"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, that is so disgusting! Oh shit this outfit is dry clean only!" The sickened screams of ever lovable Jacqueline echoed throughout the room. I pulled open the chute opening and shouted, "Jackie dear! I don't think I'll be joining your adorable little cult, hon. For your information, I'm leaving this hellhole but I hope you enjoyed my going away present dahling!!!"

I left that room, picked up my cell phone, dialed my father's number at the office and with those almighty lungs I inherited bitched my father out for even thinking of sending me there. Within an hour a limo was there to take me and my things home. How freakishly ironic that I sent my kids to the same school and they wound up doing the same thing to me.

End Chapter One.

I hope that was much better that the first chapter. Hopefully FF.N will let me get this up. I hope every body who reads leaves a review in turn. I like hearing about what people think of my work, whether you like it or not and why. I didn't get to where I said I would in this chapter but I will next chapter if it kills me. By the way this chapter was heavily influenced by a V.C Andrews novel before anyone yells at me for taking something and not giving it credit. Bye guys and don't forget to check out my other fic Every Five Minutes and the amazing work of DoraMouse.

Molto facile- Very easy/simple
