Chapter 4: And Then She Came Along

I hate him so much right now. I mean, how could he just ignore me like that? We just started dating and he has been avoiding me all week. He just makes me want to hurt him so bad...

Bulma...

Huh? who said that?

Bulma...

What?

Bulma!

"What?!" Bulma screamed as she snapped out of her thoughts.

"Perhaps, you would like to tell the class why you've been clawing at your desk?" Mr. Taniguchi asked Bulma raising an eyebrow at her.

"I'm sorry Mr. Taniguchi," Bulma looked down at her desk, "I'm just a little stressed out."

"Well, please don't do it again," Mr. Taniguchi looked at her with pity, "That is considered to be vandalism."

Bulma looked up at Mr. Taniguchi and said, "Yes Mr. Taniguchi, I promise."

Mr. Taniguchi nodded and continued with his lecture.

Bulma noticed that a few people were still staring at her, she put her head down in embarrassment.

Come on bell, come on...

*Ringgggggggg*

Thank Kami, now all I have to do is get out of here...

Bulma grabbed her books and began walking towards the door...

Almost there...

"Bulma, may I have a word with you?" Bulma heard Mr. Taniguchi ask her.

Oh Kami...

"Uhm, sure..." Bulma said trying not to sound annoyed.

"Please, sit down." Mr. Taniguchi said motioning for her to sit down on the chair in front of his desk.

Bulma walked over and sat down. "What is this about?"

"I've noticed this isn't the only class you've been stressed out in," Mr. Taniguchi said in a serious tone.

"Well..." Bulma mumbled.

"Your other teachers told me you have been tearing up paper and chewing your pens," Mr. Taniguchi said with worry evident in his voice.

"Oh, well...yea..." Bulma said shifting a bit in her chair.

"Is there anything you want to talk about?" he asked her sounding concerned.

"No, nothing's wrong," Bulma fidgeted with her fingers, "I'm just a little tired."

Mr. Taniguchi and Bulma both knew that was a fictitious statement.

"Well okay then, get some rest Bulma." Mr. Taniguchi said smiling.

Bulma faked a smile. "Okay, bye Mr. Taniguchi."

Mr. Taniguchi nodded and began to go through some papers on his desk.

Bulma stood up, picked up her books, and left the classroom. That was akward...

Out in the hallway, Bulma stopped at the water fountain to get a drink. She bended down to the fountain when a girl in her second period class stopped next to her.

"Hey Bulma," the mysterious girl said cheerfully.

Bulma looked up at her, she was wearing a small light pink shirt, tight blue jeans, and a black flip flops. Her eyeglasses adorned her face like they were a part of it, they were the right color, and weren't too big. She had a large purse that she carried her books around in.

"Hey, uhmm?"

"Aya."

"Hi Aya, what's up?"

"Uhm, I noticed you broke several pencils in 2nd period today, one of them hit me."

Bulma's cheeks flushed red. "Yea, sorry, I was a little mad."

A little mad? Aya thought.

"It's okay, uhm, I was wondering if you wanted to have lunch together?" Aya asked.

"Sure." Bulma smiled.

Bulma stood up straight and walked to the cafeteria with Aya. They got their lunches and sat down. It was at that moment Bulma saw her, her hair was raven, she was tall, skinny, and all the boys were staring at her.

"Who is she?" Bulma asked leaning towards Aya.

"She's Syaku, the most popular girl in school."

"Oh, I didn't know, I'm new here.'"

"I could tell, you couldn't find the bathrooms on the first day."

"How'd you know that?"

"You asked my friend Bethany to help you find them."

"Oh..."

There was silence for a few minutes, but it was broken quickly when Vegeta showed up out of nowhere. He sat down next to them and stared at Bulma with a pitiful expression on his face.

Bulma frowned at him and asked, "What do you want?"

"Look, I'm sorry I've been ignoring you," Vegeta sighed, "It's just..."

"Just what?"

"My dad has been making me train hard and I barely have anytime to see you between doing that and my homework."

Bulma's frown faded as her facial expression softened, "Well, you could have told me."

"I'm sorry Bulma." Vegeta looked at her puppy dog eyes.

"Aw, it's okay Vegeta."

Vegeta slid over in the seat and wrapped his arms around her. Bulma blushed and wrapped her arms around him. Vegeta kissed her cheek and then pulled back from the hug.

"I have to go." Vegeta said smiling.

Bulma's face was still red, "Okay, see you later."

Vegeta stood up and began to walk away, but he bumped into Syaku.

"Hey there," Syaku said smirking.

"Hey." Vegeta said uninterested.

"Where are you going?"

"To class, so please move out of the way."

"No," Syaku laughed, "I don't think so."

"I have to get to class," Vegeta said agitated.

Syaku grapsed his shoulders with her hands, "You're not going anywhere."

"Let go of me," Vegeta warned her.

"No, make me." Syaku said playfully.

Vegeta easily pulled Syaku's arms off of him. He turned the opposite direction and started walking away from Syaku.

"Don't walk away from me!" Syaku shouted, causing everyone to stare.

Vegeta shook his head. Who the hell was that girl anyway?

Syaku smirked. You won't get away from me that easily...

Hehe, Bulma has a bit of anger management problems. Hmm...what is that Syaku up to?

A really long update, as an apology for not updating in forever. School is obviously Death in disguise.
