High school (dbz fanfic)

Chapter 23

"Tarble, I can't believe you missed my Christmas party", Bulma pouted.

"Sorry, Bulma", Tarble said. "My girlfriend had a gymnastics meet that night and I promised her I'd be there", Tarble said.

"Whoa, You have a girlfriend?" Turles asked Tarble.

"Who's the poor desperate girl who gave up on all her dreams and got stuck with YOU?" Raditz snorted.

"Suri happens to be very well-rounded", Tarble said indignantly. "She's a member of the mathletes, the trilingual language club, the debate team, the track team, the gymnastics club-",

"Wow, an athletic nerd", Turles snickered.

"She's competed in beauty pageants too", Tarble added.

"Little Miss Nerd pageants don't count", Raditz said.

"You be quiet!" Tarble snapped.

"I don't have to", Raditz shot back.

"Well, Tarble, I hope you'll be able to come to my New Year's party", Bulma said.

"Can I bring Suri?" Tarble asked.

"Sure", Bulma answered.

'If Tarble has a girlfriend, this should be interesting', the blue-haired heiress added silently to herself.

Tarble smiled.

"Okay, thanks, Bulma", the fifteen-year-old Saiyan said.

...

"How did TARBLE get a girlfriend?" Turles asked Raditz.

The long-haired Saiyan shrugged.

"No idea", he answered. "But it's probably nothing to worry about. His girlfriend sounds like a complete she-nerd".

"Yeah, so it's probably no big loss at all", Turles said, starting to relax a little.

...

Meanwhile, Bulma was hanging put with Chi-Chi and 18 at the West City mall.

"So, where do you guys wanna go now?" Chi-Chi asked.

"What do say we get something to eat?" Bulma suggested.

"Sounds fine", 18 answered. "Hey, wait a minute, is that Vegeta over there?"

"Where?" Bulma asked, craning her head to see.

18 pointed to the food court where Vegeta sat at a table, several piles of plates around him. But a second later, the three girls noticed that the Saiyan prince wasn't alone. There was a girl sitting with him.

"Who's that?" Bulma demanded.

18 and Chi-Chi shrugged.

"Let's get closer", Bulma said.

The three girls headed behind the large ficus plant that stood beside the table where Vegeta and the girl sat.

The girl had long, sleek black hair that fell past her waist and was pulled back into a low ponytail, much like Chi-Chi's, only longer.

"She's kinda pretty", Chi-Chi admitted.

Bulma said nothing.

"Let's see if we can get a good look at the girl's face", 18 whispered.

The three girls craned their necks to see past the plant and all of the plates that Vegeta had stacked up.

The girl had side-swept bangs and big, slate gray eyes.

"She is pretty", 18 said. "But then she'd have to be for Vegeta to hand around her".

"Yeah, we ALL know how hard Vegeta is to please", Chi-Chi added.

"He seems to like girls with black hair too", 18 observed. "Remember Keiko?"

Chi-Chi and Bulma nodded.

"Lets just hope this one isn't as crazy as she was", Chi-Chi said.

"Yeah", 18 agreed.

Bulma remained silent. Was what 18 said true? Did Vegeta just like girls with black hair? Was that as far as his taste ran?

"Hey, Bulma, are you okay?" Chi-Chi asked, pulling her friend out of her thoughts.

"Huh? Yeah?" Bulma asked, snapping back to reality.

"Are you okay?" Chi-Chi repeated.

"Yeah", Bulma answered.

"Well, we better get out of here before Vegeta catches us", 18 said.

"Hey, Vegeta, who are those girls behind you?" the girl suddenly asked, pointing in Bulma, Chi-Chi, and 18's direction.

"Too late", 18 groaned.

"Bulma, 18, Chi-Chi", Vegeta said, giving the girls a nod.

"Hi, Vegeta", Chi-Chi said.

"Hi, Vegeta", Bulma said.

"Vegeta", 18 nodded.

"Are these friends of yours?" the girl asked.

Vegeta nodded.

"Bulma, Chi-Chi, 18, this is Hisana", Vegeta said.

"Hi", Hisana said, waving to Bulma, Chi-Chi, and 18.

"Hi", Chi-Chi said politely.

"Hi", 18 said.

"Hi", Bulma said, trying to hide her discomfort and disappointment that Vegeta had another girlfriend, and this one seemed even prettier and nicer than the last one. Of course, he only had one girlfriend before her.

At that moment, Bulma realized that Hisana was holding an ice cream cone.

'He never bought me ice cream', Bulma thought bitterly. 'Then again, we're not dating yet, and now, thanks to Hisana, we might never get together'.

"Well, we'd better be going", Chi-Chi said, noticing the look in Bulma's eyes. "It was nice meeting you, Hisana".

"Same here", Hisana said with a faint smile.

Bulma gave a quick smile and walked away.

"Bye", Chi-Chi said.

"See you later", 18 said.

...

"Bulma, what's wrong?" 18 asked.

"You know what's wrong", Bulma answered, trying her hardest to keep from crying.

"It's because Vegeta was with that girl, isn't it?" 18 asked.

Bulma nodded sadly.

"Don't worry, Bulma, none of his girlfriends stay around very long", 18 said.

"That's true", Chi-Chi piped up.

"Thanks guys", Bulma said, smiling slightly. "Let's go finish up our shopping. After all, we've got a New Year's party to prepare for".

Chi-Chi and 18 nodded and followed their blue-haired friend through the mall.

...

My phone has 5% so bye!!!
