Disclaimer: Read chapter 1.
Summary: Continued from the last chapter. Two rangers get closer. Also one ranger continues snooping into the personal life of their mentor and ranger teammate.
Author's Note: I know some of you reviewed saying you wanted to know what happens between Conner and Sarah so I have some free time and decided to get this chapter out as soon as possible seeing as how I got the number of reviews I wanted. So I'm starting this chapter now and hoping to finish it soon enough. So happy reading! Yay readers!
Rated T for language and some minor adult situations.
Chapter 6: I Won't Say I'm In Love (from Hercules)
Sarah's POV
I don't even know how I got here. One second I was gloating and the next I'm looking into Conner's eyes and inching closer and closer to him. Our lips meet in a gentle kiss. Time seems to stop. It feels like our lips were meant for each other and all other cares are forgotten. What seems like an eternity is only a few seconds. Without warning, though, the door flies open and Kelly stands in the doorway. We fly apart and turn our heads in embarrassment as my face burns in a furious blush.
"Oh gosh…I didn't mean to interrupt anything…" Kelly says while closing the door gently.
"Umm Conner I think it's better if you just leave." I say stuttering slightly, realizing what I have just done.
"But Sarah…" Conner begins, looking shocked and slightly hurt.
"No, Conner, what we did was wrong. I have a boyfriend which means that we can't be kissing. I won't hurt Craig. He hasn't done anything wrong. What we did was a mistake and I'm sorry I let it get that far. I'm sorry if I gave you any hope." I say practically pushing him out my door. I hear him leave moments later and walk over to Kelly's room. I walk in and flop on her bed. I begin screaming into her pillow.
"So what was that all about Sarah?" Kelly asks, eying me suspiciously.
"Ughhh! I don't know! One minute I was gloating that I kicked his ass and the next I was kissing him. It was so incredible! I'm so confused. Craig is a great guy, but Conner is so amazing. I don't want to hurt Craig, but I don't know if I can be with him when I have such a weird connection to Conner!" I say with a frustrated sigh as I flop back on Kelly's pillow. "What do I do Kelly?"
"Do what your heart tells you! Stop denying that you like Conner! If you feel more feelings toward Conner than you really shouldn't lead Craig on. He'll understand. You guys haven't been going out long enough for him to be completely crushed if you break up. It's part of highschool. He'll get over it. Do what you feel and stop letting your brain get in the way." Kelly says. This is why I love having my best friend be my sister. She tells it like it is, and doesn't beat around the bush ever.
"I guess I'll have to talk to Craig as soon as possible then." I say, sighing loudly.
"Yes you should," she says, handing me a phone.
That night I broke up with Craig. He was completely cool with it, and said he saw it coming but didn't want to be the one who broke us up. He said it was only a matter of time before I figured out that I had true feelings for Conner and that I was lying to myself by being with him instead of Conner. It scared me how accurate he is. It was an easy breakup and we decided we could still be friends. Now all I have to do is prepare myself for the talk I have to have with Dr. O tomorrow…
The Next Day (Friday) (After School)
Tommy's POV
Grading papers is not fun. Grading papers is the number one reason that being a teacher makes me want to kill myself sometimes. I mean one of my students actually answered the question: What is photosynthesis? with it's how you synthesize a photo. It made me want to punch a baby! (lol Dane Cook moment, sorry). Thankfully the doorbell rings, giving me an excuse to take a break. Surprisingly it's Sarah.
"Hey, Sarah…Uhh Josh is at soccer practice, he won't be home for another hour or so." I say confused at why she would be here.
"Yea, I know Dr. O. I was actually hoping I could, maybe talk to you." she says.
"Ummm…sure," I say, confusion clearly written on my face. She walks in and instead of sitting on the couch like I thought she would, she walks to the kitchen and sits down.
"So Dr. O…I want to talk to you about something, but I'm not sure how and I don't want you to get mad…" she says, twirling her hair absently.
"You can talk to me about anything, and I'll try hard not to get mad, but I can't promise anything." Ok, she is definitely not starting this conversation right.
"Why are you still single?" she states so bluntly, I can only stare for several moments.
"Why am I…what?" I nearly scream.
"I asked why you are still single. You're a good looking, young guy with a nice house and a job that pays enough for a comfortable life. I'm just curious why you are still single." she says, looking as if she just asked me what the weather was like instead of the bombshell she just dropped again. "Come on Dr. O, did some girl break your heart along time ago, or have you just not found the right girl. 'Cuz Jason said there was this girl named Kimberly Hart you went out with in highschool, and after that you only had a few casual girlfriends. I'm wondering what she did to you." she says, though some of her story seems like a lie.
"Who do you think you are, trying to invade my personal life like this?" I stand up, furious, though I know I'm being overdramatic. Kim has always been a touchy subject with me. "My relationship with Kim back in highschool is none of your business Sarah, and I think it would be better if you left. You're my student, and I am your teacher! I haven't even talked to Kim for 16 years, so just drop it, ok?" I need time to cool off. We don't even know each other well enough for you to be asking me this stuff!" I stand up and open the front door, letting her walk through it.
"I'm sorry Dr. O." she says walking down the driveway with her head hung down. What Dr. O didn't see was that she was smiling.
Sarah's POV
Dr. O may have thought he stopped me from wanting to butt into his life, but I only want to butt in even more. If after 16 years he still has that kind of reaction when someone mentions her, she must've been very important in his life. Now I know I have to initiate the other step of my plan. Time to find Ms. Kimberly Hart and have a little chat with her…
AN: Hate it? Love it? Leave me a review! I'm so happy that more people are starting to read this story! It makes me happy when I know I'm not wasting my time and ditching my summer assignment for nothing. You'll probably see more Dane Cook popping into the comedy side of my story because he and Jim Gaffigan are the funniest comedians to me right now and I'm obsessed with them right now. Anyways, next chapter is the chapter you have all been waiting for…Kim is going to re-enter the story and stay there! Yay! Confetti and streamers A Clown rolls in on a unicycle screaming three cheers! Whoa sorry, spastic moment! Anyways keep leaving me those reviews and I'll try and have a chapter by Friday.
Thanks to: Slytherin-Angel44, pink-till-the-EnD, AstROnAut (I think anyone would be sick, lol), psav2005, dr-dino-dude, Lelen for reviewing chapter 5! Yay you guys!
Until next time, peace out!
