Ms Killian struck a ruler hard and fast against a desk, causing the student to lift his head and the others to pay attention. " I thought that would get your attention." She said smiling ruefully at her students.
" So what rubbish are we learning today Ms. Killian?" A voice from the back called out in a good-natured jest.
" Well-"
She never got a chance to answer as Mr. Harper rapped sharply at the door. Licking her lips, Ms. Killian opened the door for the sour-faced man waiting there. The girl standing next to this excuse for a man was about two or three inches taller. The students sat up, interested in who this copper-headed girl might be.
" You have a new student." Shoving a card at Ms. Killian with one hand, he pushed the girl forward with the other and shut the door muttering about work needing to be done.
" Well. That was interesting." Ms. Killian looked over the card in her hand, before she could speak the girl did.
" My name is Max. That's all they need to know." She said 'they' like it was a dirty word. Scanning the group, she found an empty desk and dropped her stuff, before slumping down in the seat.
" Well... Max. My name is Ms. Killian and this is your US history class. Hope you like the civil war." Ms. Killian tried for a joke, but a smile never came near Max. She sat there, asleep, or so everyone thought, for the entire period.
" Least I haven't missed much." 'This isn't fair!'
" Hi. My name's Ben. This is Zachary and Juliet." A blondish boy with glasses, gestured to two people behind him who had the same length hair. Rolling her eyes, Max pushed past the trio.
" That wasn't very nice." The blonde girl said firmly, frowning.
" No, Juliet. It wasn't." The second boy answered, staring after Max.
" Come on, we gotta get to class." The three split up to go their separate ways after waving good bye.
~~~~~
At lunch another friend, Destiny, joined the three.
" What's up guys?" Juliet cleared her throat. " And lady?"
" Well. We got a new student in history today." Ben volunteered first. Destiny pulled out an obviously well protected set of Tarot cards.
" Whatcha doing?" Juliet asked. She respected Destiny's ability to interpret the cards and she respected Destiny's beliefs, even though she was still skeptic.
" I'm going to find out about this new girl." Confused, Ben asked what they all wanted to.
" I never said it was a girl." Destiny stopped what she was doing and raised an eyebrow at her friend.
" You didn't have to Ben. If Juliet or Zach had commented it would have been no big deal. But *you* noticed Ben. Which makes it a girl." Destiny rationalized. She went back to throwing the cards down.
Juliet couldn't stand the quiet as Destiny puzzled out the cards. " Well?" she asked finally.
" It's confusing. She's guarded really well. Protector? What..." Destiny started to mumble. A shadow fell over the group as they waited for Destiny to finish.
" I don't like having my cards read. My personal business is that. Personal." Reaching out a hand, Max mussed up the cards causing a burst of outrage from the friends.
" You don't touch other people's instruments!" Destiny was the loudest of them all.
Waiting patiently for everyone to shut up, Max answered. " And you don't read cards for someone without asking permission first. That's why it didn't work out the way you wanted it to."
" What would you know?" Destiny sneered, just a hint of worry showing through in her chocolate eyes.
" More than you apparently. Next time ask." As Max walked away, the group stood dumb-founded.
" Did she have her hair braided like that in history?" Ben asked, trying to recall that morning.
" No. Guess she did it before lunch. Destiny, was she right? About the cards?" Juliet asked with concern. Gulping, Destiny looked between her friends and nodded.
" I'm just so used to doing them for you guys. You never even have to ask any more." Destiny looked near tears.
" Destiny. Come on, let's go to the Youth Center (A/N: of course) after school."
" I can't believe I forgot." Juliet gave a hug to the distraught girl just as the bell was ringing for the end of lunch.
" Everyone forgets sometimes. It's not that big a deal." Juliet tried to console her friend, feeling near tears herself, as they walked to their next class.
" But it could have been. It could have been something that if it backfired it would have done something really bad."
With that thought, the friends parted silently all looking forward to the time when school ended.
~~~~~
" Feeling better Destiny?" Ben asked, smiling as she gulped down the remains of her strawberry slushie.
" Yep." She answered simply, causing everybody to laugh. Destiny's fixation on the youth center's strawberry slushies was well known.
" So. What do we make of her?" The friends had walked into the youth center and found Max there ahead of them. She was still listening to a walk man and pounding on one of the punching bags. Zach and the others looked over at the anomaly.
" Well. She's a mystery alright." Destiny agreed.
" Here comes an even bigger one." A person the four knew from school turned up at the door looking slightly troubled.
" Hey Adam! What's hangin'?" Zach called to youth.
Visibly trying to relax, he strolled over and said," Not much. You?"
" Not much here either. What do you think of the new girl?" He asked, keeping his voice down now that Adam was closer.
" She's in my English class with Mr. Johnson. Smart kid. Don't get on her bad side."
Adam spoke that last sentence after watching her plant a roundhouse kick on the left side of the bag causing it to swing heavily to the right. The others winced as she did a short jab as the bag came back down.
" I think we already are." Destiny said, thinking back to lunch. Adam's watch started beeping, and Adam got that original worried look back into his eyes.
" I have to go. I was looking for Jacob but since he isn't here..." He trailed off, backing to the door. " Bye guys."
" What was that about?" Suddenly, screams erupted from the back of the center.
Max and the four friends whirled to face the sound. A monster terrorizing people met their confused eyes. Ripping the walk man from her ears, Max ran to help the people who were trapped.
" Yo! Idiot! Over here!" Screaming at the monster she distracted his attention from his victims. 'Run, run you fools!' The people did exactly that.
" We have to help her." Seeing the trouble Max was in as she helplessly tried to block the blows that the monster was administering with his stumpy and heavy arms, the group moved. Juliet and Destiny went to help those who were too afraid to move get to an exit as Zach and Ben rushed to help Max.
As they got there, a burst of light, like a rainbow, hit down and vanished, leaving a ranger in its place.
Zach stopped in his tracks as the ranger moved to attack the monster. " I thought there were five of 'em?" He asked confused.
While he stood there, Max finally got hit and was sent flying into one of the hanging punching bags. The Power Ranger spared one look for Max then went back to fighting the monster. Suddenly the monster smiled and vanished.
Max was picking herself up from the floor where she had been heaped. Limping over to the ranger she stuck out her hand.
" Thanks." The two shook. " My name's Max."
" I know what all of your names are." The four gasped as Adam's voice came through the helmet. Taking off the helmet, their suspicions were confirmed.
" Adam? You're a Ranger?" Juliet asked in awe.
" And if you want to be, so are you five. But we have to go now." He motioned to the five and looked towards the door for movement.
The friends looked at each other in amazement but Max stepped forward first. " I am so there."
