Chapter 1: Prelude and Normal After School Activities
Please Read and Review! I'm sorry if my story's a bit boring! I'll try to put in a fight soon! Any suggestions and helpful advice are always welcome :) Does anyone have any suggestions for a villain?
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz…….
The red ranger groaned as he swung his arm over to find his alarm clock. He began to fumble with the buttons as each buzz was slowly waking him up from his deep slumber. Glancing at the red digital numbers on the clock he made out that it was 4:30…AM
"Why world, must you submit me to getting up at painful hours of the day?!"
Conner McKnight opened his eyes and after a few minutes of lingering in his bed whipped off his sheets shivering a little bit at the shock of the cool morning air he slowly walked over to his dresser picked out some clothes suitable to go to soccer practice and for everyday school wear.
Off to take a nice hot shower, he thought to himself groggily making his way out into the hallway trying to find the bathroom, he found it, but in the process hitting the door frame.
"Oww…"
After taking a shower, dressing, grabbing a bite to eat, then stuffing a granola bar and water bottle into his bag Conner jogged out to his Mustang headed off to the soccer practice field.
Conner POV
It was an early morning and I could really feel the toll of only five hours of sleep tugging a bit at me as I made it to practice.
"Hey guys…early morning…" I grumbled as the rest of my teammates yawned in response.
"Does anyone know why we are having this practice?" Asked Dan, one of the defense players.
"I heard it was because we couldn't practice tomorrow afternoon."
"Maybe it's because of our bad game last Saturday…Coach didn't seem too happy after that."
Well I suppose after losing by twenty points most coaches wouldn't be happy either…especially in soccer…
"Maybe he enjoys getting up early for practice at 5!"
"Here he comes!"
"Good morning men! I hope that we will have a productive practice after our game last Saturday!" It is definitely about the game.
"Lets start out this lovely morning with five laps!"
After two hours of practice we were told the happy news that we would also be having practice after school, then released us to the showers.
-----
"Tough practice today, dude?" Asked Ethan.
"Yeah…" I said while my head was on the table with my arms nearby. I planned on sleeping through homeroom.
(30 minutes later…)
"Conner! Wake up! The bell rang! Time for first period!"
I jolted up upon hearing Kira's voice….or maybe I got up when she started shaking me… then we headed off to science with Dr.O.
"Refreshed?" She looked at me with an amused look in her eyes.
"Yeah. Why are you looking at me that way?"
"Oh, nothing….was your hand comfortable to sleep on?" Why is she asking me this? And why is she laughing at me?? I must have given her a bewildered look.
"I'm just going to guess that you haven't passed any mirrors lately."
Wait…I felt my cheek. "I have a hand print on my face. Right?"
"You guessed it!"
Just then the bell rang and Dr. O hushed the class, so we could listen to forty-three minutes of information on "scientific thingamabobs".
Tommy POV
Kira and Conner looked like they were having a good time, well at least Kira looked that way. What's on Conner's cheek? He must have been sleeping in homeroom again…..you would think that he could maybe finish the rest of his homework there instead of doing it during the last ten minutes during class. At least he gets it done.
"Okay class! Remember tomorrow we will have an activity dealing with chemicals, make sure to have your parents sign the permission slip that I handed out yesterday."
Conner looked a bit startled…he must have forgotten again.
"And remember if you just "forget" to have them sign to get out of it, I'm going to expect a three page paper on the scientific subject of my choice."
"What if it just slips your mind?" Stated Conner, of course.
"Either way I will still expect a three page paper."
"Allergic to these said chemicals?" Conner….not now….
"Then your parents can sign the 'No, my child cannot participate in this activity because:' section, and explain why. If so, there is still a paper waiting."
I don't see why it's so bad. Well, maybe the whole entire 'I might singe my eyebrows' part may be a bit intimidating…..but hey, it's part of the fun.
Kira POV
What a great way to start off a day! Conner's imprint of his hand on his face, was pretty good!
"Hey, did I miss anything?" Ethan whispered sitting down next to me after handing Dr. O a slip of pink paper.
"Not much, just remember to get your permission slip signed." He held it up signed.
"That's Ethan for you!" I chuckled.
"Nerd…" Remarked Conner.
"Well, at least I don't have a hand print on my face."
"Hey!"
"Conner, Ethan, quiet down." Dr. O didn't seem too pleased.
Conner and Ethan really enjoy getting on each other's nerves, but it was all in good play.
After the bell rang we all went our separate ways, then during 7th period the "everyone stay calm, a monster is attacking our city, so if you would please evacuate the building and go home that would be great" alarm. Quickly after the alarm was done sounding the soccer coach announced over the PA that there would be another early morning practice due to the current situation. A soccer player who had the locker next to me groaned.
"I think that our school is the only school that currently has that alarm." I told Ethan as we hurried down to Dr. O's room after making our excuses of not evacuating the school.
Once we were all gathered we quickly discussed the situation, asking Haley where the monster was located. The monster was coming closer to the fire department, which was conveniently located close to the hospital.
"Come on rangers!" Said Dr. O.
Then we were off to our "normal" after school activities.
