Chapter One: District
A/N: Thanks to Xolong for giving me this idea! I think it's going to be great! She gave me this idea a while back, and I was home all day with the flu (thanks for the get well cards, j/k) so I was able to write it! I'm pretty out of it, so please, please don't get too...uh...lets just say, i have no idea. Just r/r and enjoy. Ja ne!

"Your late again, Miss Videl." The teacher said. "That's the third time this week. I would hate to see you get punished, but if you don't try to make an effort to get to class on time, then I'm afraid I'll have to schedule an appointment with Dr. Penelope, the school guidance counselor. Understood?"
Videl nodded and stared at her feet for a moment. "Yes professor. It won't happen again."
"Good. Now take your seat so I can continue my lesson." Videl walked up the steps toward a row near the back where Erasa, Sharpener, and Gohan all sat. Erasa was wearing a huge grin on her face.
"You're late, girl." She said. Videl glared at her, then dropped in her usual seat next to Gohan. (a/n: it's her seat now, k?) She brought out paper, a pencil and stared blankly at the board. She saw Gohan scribbling furiously on his paper, glancing up at the teacher ever minute or so.
"What're you working on Gohan?" Videl asked, peeking over his arm. Gohan looked at her then pushed the paper over toward her so she could read it.
Notes.
Videl sighed, and started to copy from his notes. The air was hot in the room, making everyone unbelievably tired. Videl yawned loudly and rested her head on hand.
Erasa looked over at the two who were slowly drifting off into sleep. She giggled, then poked Sharpener with her pencil.
"Ouch, that hurt." He looked at her, then over to Videl. "Oh..." he pause a minute to think what she was saying. "Huh?"
She giggled again. "Silly, look at them."
Sharpener looked at Gohan and Videl again, both starting to sleep. He still didn't get it. "I don't get it."
She rolled her eyes. "Men..." She looked back to make sure that they couldn't hear her talking. "Sharpener, you know how Gohan and Videl always flirt with each other, but never admit it, right?"
He nodded slowly. "But I don't think Gohan has a clue about what he's doing. It's really Videl."
"My point is," she interrupted him, "that they flirt with each other. And you can tell they like each other. They were so meant for each other."
"Didn't you have a crush on him?"
"Not anymore, baka. I'm with you now. But anyway, what do you say about," she paused, "'hooking' them up?" She smiled at his expression. "No, I mean it! What could it possibly do? They like each other, we're their best friends, I don't see what's wrong with it."
"It's messing with people's emotions..." he stopped, then grinned. "Hmm...I like the idea. Tell me more."
"We would do simple little things. Such as lock them in an empty classroom, force them to go to the Prom together...little things. Nothing big. But enough to make them notice each other. And if I have too, I'll handcuff them together."
"Why do you have a pair of handcuffs?" Sharpener asked her. Erasa blushed deep red, and Sharpener blushed a bit as well.
"Well, that solves one thing of out plan. But when should we start?"
Sharpener rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Soon. Defiantly soon. Man, I'm starving! When's lunch!" He looked at the clock. "Not for another hour!" He sank back in his chair. "I'm doomed."
"You sound like Gohan."
"Who sounds like me?" Gohan asked, blinking away sleepy eyes. "I'm hungry."
"You're always hungry." Videl yawned. "'Scuse me. I don't know why I'm so tired. Normally I'm just awake and..." she yawned again. "Damnit, I need to get more rest. If Remold comes up here, kick my leg hard, Erasa. G'night."
"Videl you can't go to sleep! You might miss something important! Then you'd be behind, and then I don't think you're father would like that very much! Then your grades would slip and-"
"Quite Mr. Son! I'm trying to teach here!"
Gohan sank down into his seat and blushed furiously. "Oops. Yeah, gomen, sensei."
Videl rested her head on the desk. "Just pipe down Gohan. You're just worried about your grades. My dad doesn't give a flip if my grades drop. All he cares about is his trophies, his body, and his girlfriends." She closed her eyes and began to mumble. "...his trophies, his body and his girlfriends. Damn girlfriends, damn dumb blondes..."
Gohan smiled, and looked back at his little paper. A little doodle of himself, Videl, Erasa, and Sharpener existed on the edge of the paper. He smiled and felt a smell of perfume.
"What is that smell?" Erasa asked.
Angela looked at her hurt. "You don't like it? It's my newest one. Mio, mevaune."
"It's revolting." Erasa rested her head on Sharpener's shoulder and sighed. She saw their teacher walking up the row of students. She kicked Videl lightly, then harder.
Videl awoke with a yell of pain. "Ouch! Damnit Erasa! Did you have to kick me so hard!" She looked up and saw their teacher tapping his foot and looking down at her. "Uh, good afternoon, professor."
"Detention, Miss Videl. And don't let me catch you sleeping in my class again."
Videl sighed. Sharpener leaned in and whispered into Erasa's ear, "You call them 'meant to be'? Goody-too-shoes and miss fighter over here?"
"You remember Gohan at the tournament. He fights good too. Now leave me alone. I need to get my work done."
"Fine."
Erasa looked over at Gohan and giggled. He was looking out the window, his eyes half closed. She looked back and Sharpener and smirked.
"Operation Grape Vine is a go."
*******
A/N: Sorry if it was a bit short. But I really don't feel well! Yes Erasa and Sharpener were a couple. He had to be in here, but he couldn't be hitting on Videl! Otherwise, I would have made him die when Vegeta blew up half of the stands that the tournament. Well, r/r please! Thanks!
