Chapter One- Mean
Kira's hand stuck out from under the covers, as she tried to find the alarm clock. As soon as the beeping stopped she rolled over and went back to sleep. A half hour later she was reawaken by pounding on her door and her mom yelling at her to get up. Annoyed Kira got up. She didn't want to go to school, but she went downstairs to eat breakfast anyways. While she ate breakfast her mind kept wandering to skipping school. She kept fighting over the idea. Half of her was saying skip school and the other half was saying go to school and keep your perfect attendance record. Still the other half was saying she didn't care about the stupid record in the first place. As soon as she finished eating she walked out the door and head for school. When she was halfway there she turned around and ran back home. Her mom hadn't left for work yet so she crept around to the back, climbed up a tree, and went in through her bedroom window.
-Reefside High-
Mr. Mercer sat at his desk and took attendance as his students walked in. The first thing he noticed was that Kira didn't walk in with Conner and Ethan. The second thing he noticed was that Kira didn't show up at all and she hadn't been called in. After doing a short lesson he handed out worksheets and walked over to Ethan and Conner.
"Have you guys seen Kira?" he asked
"No. Isn't she absent?" Ethan asked
"She wasn't called in."
"Well she hasn't been here all day." Conner said and Mr. Mercer nodded as he walked over to the phone.
-The Ford Residence-
As soon as Kira's mom left she stepped out of her room and crept down stairs. She made some popcorn and plopped down on the couch and watched a movie. About twenty minutes into the she fell asleep. She didn't get for another five hours when the phone rang. Slowly she got up and trudged over to the phone. Glancing at the caller id she noticed that it was the school, most likely wondering where she was. Instead of answering she let the machine get it. As soon as Mr. Mercer stopped talking she deleted the message. Now her parents would never know. Kira cleaned up the popcorn and went back to her room to sleep more.
-Cyber Café-
Kira walked into the Cyber Café wearing a short black skirt and a tight yellow tank top. She spotted Ethan and Conner and joined them at the table.
"Isn't that skirt a little short?" Ethan asked
"And that shirt a little tight?" Conner added
"What are you guys my mothers?" Kira responded annoyed
"Sorry. Where were you today?" Ethan asked
"Home."
"So you skipped school?"
"Yeah. So?"
"Why?"
"I didn't feel like going! Gosh! What's with all the questions?!"
"Sheesh! Sorry. Do you want your homework?"
"No!"
"You're skipping school and not doing your homework? What's with you?"
"Nothing! I'm out of here!" Kira screamed getting up and storming out. She was walking down the sidewalk when she rammed into someone, knocking her to the ground.
"Sorry, Kira." A guy said helping her up. Kira looked up and noticed it was Trent. She hadn't seen him in awhile. Ever since his little confession that is. At that moment though Kira didn't care where he had been.
"Watch where you're going." She snapped and he looked a little hurt. She hadn't really meant to hurt him, but it just seemed to go with her mood. She walked angrily home.
-Mesogog's Lair-
Mesogog sat in his throne, tapping his fingers against his head. Trent and Zeltrax stood there staring at him waiting for him to say something.
"So what you tell me is true? The yellow ranger is still evil?" Mesogog asked
"Well not yet, but she's getting there." Trent said
"Not very long. A week or two max." Zeltrax said
"Good get close to her. That way when she becomes evil she'll join us." Mesogog said turning to Trent. Trent nodded while leaving the room and hatching a plan at the same time.
-Ford Residence-
Kira stared at herself in the mirror. What's wrong with me? She asked herself. First she skipped school and wasn't planning to do her homework and to top it all off she was being mean to Trent. That was the last person she wanted to be mean to. She didn't want to be mean to anybody, but she couldn't help it. Something was changing in her. Something was different too, she was just acting mean.
