Senior Year
……………………̷ 0;……………………
"We have all classes together!" The blue haired and black haired screamed in unison. Kids all around stared at them and the dark haired girl stuck out her tongue at them.
"Can you believe we're seniors Chichi?" The blue haired asked.
"This is SO great Bulma!" Chichi said. They both looked at their schedules and Chichi frowned. "Great we have AP Physics for first," she said in distaste.
"You know how much I love science and technology so don't worry I'll help you out, come on let's go check it out," Bulma said dragging her friend down the hallway of Shen Long High.
Up until now, Bulma had managed to lay low, after all she was one of the richest girls in the country, but now this was her senior year and she and Chichi had become quite known. They were part of the cheerleading team for two years now and Bulma had managed to become one of the most popular girls in school. Chichi was also one of the most know, especially since she was the daughter of Ox King, he was the owner of a super-large chain of restaurants, and word was that she was one of the best cooks.
As they neared the room the bell rang. "Krud, we have to go to homeroom right now," Chichi grumbled.
"Think of it as a good thing, I'll finally be able to tell you in detail how my vacation was!" Bulma said happily.
They walked over to their homeroom and walked in, there were already a few students sitting in their seats. Both girls walked over to the back of the room and sat down.
"The tan settled nicely on you," Chichi grinned. Bulma glared at her, thankfully her skin was protected by the sunscreen she had worn to her vacation and her skin was a little darker. It was better than to turning red like a lobster, she thought. "And what's with the weird necklace?"
Bulma fingered the band that held a small lock and smiled. Chichi saw the dreamy look on her face and knew it had something to do with a guy.
"Ok tell me everything!" Chichi implored.
"Well before I start let me tell you, my neighbor just came back from living with his mother for the past eight years, and boy was he gorgeous!" Bulma sighed wistfully.
"Are you serious? The scrawny kid that used to tell you that you guys would get married some day? Was he the one who gave you the necklace?"
"No. But Oh my gosh, he has filled out very nicely, he's even about this much taller than me," Bulma motioned to a large distance over her head.
"Do you think he's coming here?" Her friend asked as she fished through her bag for some lotion.
"I sure hope so, I wouldn't mind marrying him now," they both laughed.
The second bell rang and many students walked in at that same moment. Bulma's breath caught in her throat and she discretely punched her friend on the leg.
"Oh my gosh Chichi it's him!" She whispered excitedly. Her friend turned to look and had to tell herself that it wouldn't be a good thing if they were caught gaping.
Just as he was about to turn and look at them, both girls turned away in a flash. He WAS every bit gorgeous. He was tall built and very handsome, even though his hair spiked out in every direction.
"Well has he even talked to you?" Chichi's question went unanswered when the guy sat a few seats away and flashed Bulma a sexy smile.
"It was more like small talk, but.......... I don't think he'll make me forget the only guy that is stuck on my mind at the moment," Bulma sighed and looked at her nails.
"And this would be?........ a guy you met over vacation? The necklace guy?"
"Yeah, we met in the hotel I was staying at," she started.
"Bulma Briefs?" The teacher called.
"Present!"
The teacher kept going until she reached Chichi, "Chichi King?"
"Here!" she replied, "you know Bulma that's a more normal way of responding to roll call," her friend snickered. Bulma glared at her but then smiled.
"Ok it all started when................"
~Flashback~
"Damn it! Daddy is not going to make me stay in my hotel room!" Bulma grumbled angrily as she pushed the button to the elevator.
It finally dinged and she marched inside, unaware of the other occupant that was looking at her in amusement as she threw a fit.
His dark eyes skimmed her nicely put body. She was his height, with flowing long blue hair that went down to her waist, flashing beautiful blue eyes and cream colored skin, that was slightly flushed because of her anger. Her curves were all in the right place and she was dressed in short shorts a tight tank top and sandals.
She stopped in the middle of her tirade and looked over at him, she shot him a dirty look and growled softly when the guy had the audacity to smirk.
He was roughly her height, with dark reddish black hair that rose up from a widows peak into a long flame of hair. His face had nicely sharp features giving him a handsome look, and his body was pretty nice for a guy his age. He was wearing a wife beater with a Hawaiian shirt opened in the middle and shorts that went down to his knees, he was also wearing guy sandals.
After her assessment on his looks she opened her mouth to speak.
"What? Do I look the least bit funny to you?" She snapped.
~Bulma left out all the details to his look and told Chichi he was cute and funny looking.~
"Why are you angry with me idiot? You're the one acting like a baby throwing a fit," he said snapped gruffly.
"How dare you insult me? I don't know you and you don't know me, so show more respect asshole!"
"Who is insulting now? What has gotten your panties in a bunch?" he asked curiously.
She glared at him but spoke, "My father, he told me that I wasn't allowed to leave my room because I'm a spoiled little girl, show's what he knows," she said with a pout.
"Where are you going now?" he asked.
"Why do you care?" she asked through narrowed eyes and lips slightly pursed.
"Well I was going to ask if you wanted to go down to the beach with me, but since I shouldn't care......." he crossed his arms over his chest and smirked.
"Why are you being nice with me?" She asked putting some strands of blue hair behind her ear.
"Because we have something in common, my father had the nerve to tell me the same thing, I was also supposed to stay in my room and 'sulk', was the way my father put it," he said hatefully.
Bulma looked at him curiously and smiled, another point for her looks, he thought impishly. "Ok I accept your invitation, do you know how to get around here, because to tell you the truth I don't, by the way what's your name?" she asked him as they stepped off the elevator.
~Flashback ends with the ring of the bell~
"NO!" Chichi cried as her friend couldn't finish the barely starting story.
"Come on Chi, we have to go," Bulma dragged her friend out of the room.
Just as they neared the door, Bulma bumped into the tall cute guy. "Hi Goku!" Bulma said shyly.
"Hey Bulma, how's it going?"
"Pretty good........ hey what class do you have right now?" She asked before she lost her nerve.
"AP Physics," he said while adjusting his messenger bag.
"That's cool, we have that class together, oh by the way Goku this is my bestest friend Chichi," Bulma finally introduced her friend, who had been pocking her in the ribs.
"That's a good thing, maybe you can help me out, I'm not that good at science," he said with a small laugh.
"Sure thing, let's walk faster I don't want to be late on our first day," Bulma smiled and he nodded. Then they made their way to their first period and entered the room, the seats were in the form of large counters to seat four people.
"Do you want to sit with us Goku?" Chichi asked.
"Sure, if you girls don't mind," they all made their way to the counter that was the one before the last. They sat on their stools and waited for the teacher to speak. After giving them a lecture about what they were going to be doing, he spoke about the rules and told them that next week they were going to have permanent partners for the rest of the semester.
"Please please please Bulma continue telling me about your vacation!" Chichi pleaded.
"Ok...................."
~Flashback~
"How about we leave our names out of this? I don't want to end up getting close and then having to never see each other after this," he told her seriously.
"Then what am I supposed to call you?" Bulma asked.
"Call me...... Prince," he told her with a deep sexy chuckle.
"Yeah in your dreams, but fine I won't tell you my name either. I'll just call you guy," Bulma said smartly and began to walk ahead of him.
"Fine, girl," he said as he followed her.
The rest of the day they spent it walking along the beach, getting to know a few things about each other.
"Is this your first time here at St. Thomas?" Bulma asked as they walked along the shore of the beach. St. Thomas was located in the Virgin Islands.
"No, I've been here before, my father likes to come down here every other year," he said with a shrug. "What about you?"
"This is the first time I'm here, my mom bugged daddy until he agreed to bring us here," Bulma smiled.
"You ARE too spoiled," he told her with an arrogant smirk.
"No I am not, it's not my fault my daddy owns........ well never mind, if I tell you you'll find out who I am and you'll know my name. And since you won't tell me yours I won't tell you mine," she stuck her nose in the air with superiority but then frowned, "I'm hungry," Bulma mumbled.
"Yeah me too," and to emphasize things his stomach growled loudly.
"Come on, we can go to the restaurant we just passed," he said flatly.
Bulma followed him and soon they were seated and ordering food. They sat in silence contemplating the beach and a few girls entered the place.
A girl with light brown hair looked over at him and winked, giving him a sexy smile.
"I see you have a fanclub," Bulma muttered in annoyance.
"Why? Are you jealous?" he smirked at her.
Bulma scoffed and leaned over to him, "only in your wildest dreams," she whispered into his ear, putting a hand on his thigh and squeezing it softly. He closed his eyes briefly and then turned confused dark eyes to her.
"What are you doing?" he asked her softly as she pulled her chair closer to his and pressed her body against him.
"Getting your fanclub jealous," Bulma muttered as she kissed the skin behind his earlobe. He groaned softly and Bulma smirked against his skin when the girl flipped her hair and looked away angrily. Bulma giggled softly until she noticed he was leaning into her kisses. She abruptly pulled away and took a drink of her soda.
He glared at her and Bulma smiled sweetly at him. "What? Was I getting to you?" She asked innocently.
"Stupid girl, you want to play games?" He growled. Bulma's eyes narrowed not quite catching his meaning.
"What?" She asked. He threw down a twenty and a ten and stormed out, Bulma following him closely. They walked through the sand silently and for some reason Bulma thought he was angry at her. Why she should care was beyond her, but she did.
"Hey! Aren't you going to talk to me?" She snapped. He ignored her and kept walking towards the shore.
Bulma growled and grabbed his arm turning him around roughly, "What the hell is wrong with you?" She screamed into his face. The frown on his face deepened and all of a sudden he pulled her face to his.
Bulma uttered a small squeak and her eyes widened as he pressed his lips to hers, she gasped softly and he took that opportunity to slip his tongue into her mouth. Bulma slowly relaxed and moved her hands, that had been pushing weakly against his chest, and wrapped them around his neck.
Just as she was settling into his kiss, he pushed her away gently.
"Why..... why did you stop?" Bulma wailed.
"That is exactly what you did to me, how does it feel?" He asked her darkly.
"Stupid idiot! How dare you kiss me? I don't even know you!" She yelled and turned her back to him. He smirked as he noticed her cheeks were flushed and her lips slightly swollen from their kiss.
"We can solve that," he purred as he wrapped his arms around her waist. She pondered his words for a moment and then huffed angrily. She pushed away from him and turned angry azure eyes to him.
"What type of girl do you think I am?" She rounded off on him. He was captivated by the way her eyes changed color in her anger.
"It would just be a spring fling, we're never going to see each other again anyways. And as far as what I think of you, I wouldn't think anything bad about daddy's little girl," he told her sarcastically.
The blood drained from her face, "Oh my gosh, daddy! I need to get back it's already getting dark," she said worriedly. He sighed in annoyance and nodded.
"Fine girl I'll take you back," he snapped and pulled her back towards the hotel.
~End Flashback~
"Then what happened?" Chichi asked eagerly.
"I'll tell you during third period.... which is..... painting!" Bulma said cheerfully.
"Bulma!" Chichi whined.
"Have patience Chi, I have to save the best for last," Bulma winked.
"Hey do you girls mind if we hang out with you during nutrition and lunch?" Goku's voice interrupted her thoughts and both girls turned to look at him and a short bald guy that was sitting next to him blushing shyly.
"That would be so great! We can even start our own group!" Chichi said happily. "By the way what is your name?" She asked the other guy.
"I'm Krillin, and like my bro here I'm also knew to the school, it's nice to meet such beautiful girls on our first day, right Goku?" He elbowed his friend who was staring at a blushing Bulma, and the tall guy nodded.
"By the way I'm Bulma, nice to meet you Krillin," Bulma snapped out of it and smiled at the short bald guy. The bell finally rang and they all walked outside to the senior quad. They found a spot under a huge tree with a large bench under it.
"Ok, we found our spot to kick back during nutrition, during lunch I guess we're going to go the lunchroom right?" Chichi asked. Everyone nodded and then they sat down.
"I like what you're wearing, it looks very flattering on you," Goku told Bulma as he blushed furiously.
"You really think so?" Bulma asked as she smoothed a hand down her short denim dress. It hugged her chest nicely and showed off her long slim legs along with the knee high velvet boots. She had pulled back her long hair into a ponytail and left some bangs on her face.
"Yeah you look much prettier than when I last saw you," he told her with a smile.
"We were nine years old Goku, but tell me how has your life been since you left?" She asked him with a grin. He took on a serious look and Bulma's smile fell. "What? Is something wrong?" She asked worriedly.
He nodded and looked away, "My parents are getting divorced and my brothers fight with each other 24/7, I just can't take it anymore. My brothers are of legal age so there's no problem, but since I'm 17 they are going to fight for my custody, can you believe it? I'm almost 18 and my parents are fighting," he growled softly.
"Oh Goku I'm so sorry, and I just want you to know that if you ever need me as a friend I will be there for you. You can even crawl up into my window whenever you want, unless it's closed, that will mean I'm not home or I'm in the shower, the same way you used to do when we were kids, ok?" She smiled and gripped his large hand.
"Thanks Bulma, you always knew what to tell me to cheer me up," he smiled back. "By the way what class do you have next?"
"Painting, and you?"
"I have English with Krillin," he told her almost disappointedly.
"Don't fret we'll probably have other classes together," she said cheerfully.
"I doubt you will have football practice," he told her with a grin.
"Well you're right there, but I DO have cheerleading for fifth period," the bell rang interrupting them, "Well, I'll see you later, ok Goku?"
He nodded and looked at her in shock when she leaned down and pecked him on the cheek. "Take care," she winked and pulled her friend away.
"What were you doing? You were flirting with him weren't you?" Chichi asked her smiling friend.
"I think he's cute, and if things go well then maybe something will go on between us," Bulma said innocently. Her friend giggled and her mouth dropped open in shock.
They entered the class room and were greeted by a cheerful short blond woman, with spikes in her hair. "Hello children!" She said rather enthusiastically.
"Hi!" Both Chichi and Bulma waved. They sat down in the table closest to the door and watched as students walked in. A girl with light brown hair walked in and Bulma gasped. "Look Chi, you see that girl that just walked in?" Chichi nodded and Bulma continued, "She was at a restaurant when my love and I were there, she was making eyes at him and I got her to back away. Of all the places, I never thought she came here," Bulma said incredulously.
"Well, just keep telling me what happened, you can tell me about that chick later," Chichi said. Bulma was about to start when the teacher began to speak, they were to do and assignment right at the moment so they had no time to talk.
"Ok class, the period is almost over to come up and show me your drawings for credit," The teacher Mrs. Kaya told them. She called people by roll call and Bulma was one of the first.
The teacher was especially swooning over her sunset sketch and Chichi's drawing of a hand holding a thorned rose. Right after Chichi came the brunette and she stepped in front of Chichi flipping her hair and smacking her dead in the face. Chichi growled indignantly but stuffed her comment when Bulma glared at her.
The teacher examined her drawing carefully. "Very nice, I'll give you an A- ," the teacher said thoughtfully.
"WHAT? This deserves an A+!" the girl screamed, her jade green eyes flashing in anger.
Bulma approached them and grinned down at the drawing and then looked at the girl with a smirk, "You see, the shading is done all wrong. And it seems like you drew only because you had to, there is no passion in it," she said matter-of-factly.
"Why Bulma is right, Jade, there has to be more feeling put into your drawings, hence the A-," the teacher said with a small smile towards Bulma.
The girl just smiled for the sake of the teacher and walked away, Mrs. Kaya gave Bulma a few pointers and compliments and she then made her way back to her seat. As she went she passed by Jade, the girl carefully got up and approached her.
"Let me just get one thing off my mind girly, Back off. You do not want to become my enemy on the first day of school," she growled.
"Oh really, I don't?" Bulma asked sarcastically. "Well let ME tell you one thing, I won't be an easy enemy to handle, so don't play with fire, cuz' you WILL get burned," Bulma growled back.
"Now I remember you, you were the little bitch that was all over that guy at St. Thomas, nice show you put on," the girl spat.
"Jealous that I was over such a fine piece of flesh that you could only watch from far away?" Bulma asked. "Don't hate because I had him and you didn't. And when I say I had him, I HAD him," Bulma said smugly. Before the girl could reply, the bell rang. Bulma grabbed her bag and she and Chichi left.
"Oh my gosh you TOLD her!" Chichi cheered with her friend. Bulma smiled in triumph and looped her arm through Chichi's.
"Damn Chi, it's our first day and already I'm getting into trouble," Bulma giggled.
"Yeah now all I want to know is, if what you told her was true," Chichi said with a calculating smirk.
Bulma ignored her and started humming her favorite song.
"BULMA BRIEFS! You are going to tell me right this instance if that is true!" Chichi said sternly. Bulma walked faster and they made it to the lunch-room. While they waited in line, and then ate their lunch Chichi pestered her. Finally lunch was over and they made their way to the gym where they would get signed up for cheerleading. (A/N: So that you guys see that there are no hard feelings on cheerleaders B and Chi are going to be some in this story, k?)
They were told that the tryouts would be in two days, so they had to prepare a short cheer. Afterwards, they sat in the bleachers and talked quietly. "FINE! I'm going to tell you," Bulma cried exhasperatedly. Chichi nodded happily and got closer to her eagerly. "This happened the next day................"
~Flashback~
"Dear, I am telling you Bulma probably stayed in her room like you told her to, and refused to come down to dinner with us because she was peeved at you," Mrs. Briefs told her husband as they approached the door.
"Dee, I'm sure that as reckless as that girl is, she was probably gone ALL night and she wont even be in her room!" He argued back as they knocked the door. After knocking several times, Dr. Briefs was about to tell his wife 'I told you so,' when the door swung open and Bulma came into view, looking mused with her hair in tangles and a sheet wrapped around herself.
"Daddy, momma!" She squeaked.
"See Dear I told you she was here all along," her mother scolded him. Dr. Briefs sighed and nodded. "Will you be joining us for breakfast Bulma?"
Bulma shook her head and laughed nervously, "I'm still sleepy, I'll go down later, thank you anyways!" she said as she closed the door quickly.
"If I didn't know any better I'd say she's hiding something," Dr. Briefs' mustache twitched. "Oh come dear let's go eat," his wife said pulling him down the hall.
Bulma glared down at the large bump on her bed, it was snoring softly and had the comforter on top. She lay down next him and uncovered his face and just looked down at him. His hair was also mused and his cheeks were kind of red, but he looked so cute and peaceful sleeping.
She brushed her lips against his and then pulled back. He wasn't wearing that perpetual frown he had on like a second skin, and he looked far younger than what he did when he was awake.
She carefully walked to the shower and turned on the water, her thighs were sticky and she felt pretty sore, EVERYWHERE. When the water was just right she jumped into the shower. When she came out refreshed she pulled on a thin and short white dress and brushed her hair. She walked back to her room and grinned when she saw her lover awake. "Morning," she said cheerfully.
He muttered something under his breath and scratched his head sleepily. "Go ahead and feel free to use the shower, I think you need one, and there's an extra tooth brush too," she told him with a smirk.
He got up and wrapped a sheet around his lower body and sluggishly walked to the bathroom, and that was when Bulma noticed the scratch marks on his back. About twenty minutes later, he came out in a robe and got dressed.
"I'm guessing you have to go?" She asked him softly.
He nodded almost regretfully and wrapped his arms around her slim waist, "will you be going out tonight?" he whispered as he kissed her neck.
"Do you want to meet somewhere?" She sighed in bliss as his lips worked up a heat on her skin.
He nodded against her, "go down to the third pool room, it's usually the emptiest, mostly because no one knows about it, or they don't take the time to check it out," He mumbled. "At seven and be sharp, I hate it when people are late," he pressed his lips to hers and she took him openly. He then pulled away and flashed her a sexy smirk, he walked to the door and left.
Bulma smiled stupidly after he left, but then snapped out and looked around the room, the sheets were soiled, with blood and other things. Hopefully he hadn't noticed it had been her first time, but in a way a part of her longed for him to know he had been her first. Could it be she was in love with a total stranger? 'Maybe I am,' Bulma sighed wistfully and plopped down onto a large soft sofa that was there.
"At least he want's to see me again," she told herself out loud. She got up and headed down to the hotel's restaurant for some food.
~Flashback Ends~
Chichi couldn't stop gasping in shock. "You gave it up to him? And you didn't even know his name?"
"Yeah, SO! He didn't know mine either. But....... I think he was my first true love, but I have to forget. Still I can't help but feel that my heart belongs to him," Bulma said carefully.
"You don't even know him! You're never going to see him again either!"
"That's why it's all the more special, he told me so many wonderful things the last time we were together, I think he fell in love with me too," Bulma said sadly.
"Oh come here," Chichi pulled her friend into a hug when she saw her getting all teary eyed. "You're right, it was a wonderful thing, what you experienced with him. So...... how was he?" Chichi whispered the last question. Bulma giggled loudly at her friend and smiled.
"It hurt a LOT in the beginning, but then he was so gentle and wonderful, I can't compare him to anyone because I had no previous experience but he was good. He never once asked for me to pleasure him, he just gave all the attention to me. Oh Chi, you have no idea, but I miss him so much," Bulma wailed.
"Well maybe someday you'll see him again, but let me tell you about me now," Chichi said happily.
"Ok, shoot away!" Bulma laughed.
"Well....... remember my ex-boyfriend, the guy that lived across from me?" Bulma nodded and Chichi continued. "Well he finally came back from flying around with his father on all those business trips. He said his father agreed to let him finish High School in a public school, he's had home school everywhere they have been."
Bulma yawned sarcastically and Chichi glared at her. "OK, the point is that he asked me out again, he said he had missed me all these months, said if I wanted to keep going where we had stopped," Chichi said dreamily.
"And you said yes? That is so great for you! The only thing I can't believe is that I have never had the chance to meet him, by the way what's his name?" Bulma asked with a smile.
"His name is Vegeta Ouji, and my gosh is he the finest thing on two legs!" Chichi sighed.
"Vegeta Ouji? I feel like I've heard that last name before, well never mind." Bulma shrugged and then they talked and waited patiently for the bell to ring to go home.
