CHAPTER FOUR First Day

Leila undid the covers of her bed as she got ready to get some sleep Sunday night. She had spent most of Saturday with the rangers. She seemed to fit in pretty well with them and she was so excited to finally hear Kira sing. The fact that Dr. O came to hang out with them further confirmed her theory that he was a ranger along with the others. The fact that they all had similar bracelets in their respective colors helped too. Leila climbed under the covers and was about to turn the light out when the phone rang.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Hey hot stuff!" came a familiar voice. Leila smiled and leaned back into her pillows.

"Hey baby. How are you?" she asked.

"I'm good. Things are busy as usual out here. We've gotten some new students coming in for orientation next week. But that's business as usual. How are things at Reefside?" he asked.

"Not as bad as I thought it would be. I met some kids at the local hangout place and they're really nice. Oh, Hunter, you will never guess who my teacher is," Leila said.

"Who?" he asked.

"Does the name Tommy Oliver ring a bell?" Leila asked. She heard a loud thud, guessing that Hunter had dropped the phone out of surprise.

"Are you kidding me?! Tommy Oliver, only the most famous of all rangers, is one of your teachers?" Hunter asked.

"Not only that, I'm more than positive he's back in action and I have a pretty good idea that these kids I met are the other rangers. I don't think they've gotten the sixth ranger yet but I could be wrong," Leila explained.

"Wow. Do they know you know?" Hunter asked.

"I don't think so. I haven't exactly done anything to let them think I know," Leila explained.

"Yeah. So anything else going on? Although, I don't know what could top finding the identities of the current rangers on your...what...second day in town," Hunter said. Leila laughed.

"Well, I have my first day of school tomorrow. Dr. Oliver arranged my schedule so I'd have a class with the kids I met. Other than that, nothing much has happened. The house looks great, you have to visit the first chance you get. Oh, I met this guy named Anton Mercer and he acted really weird," Leila said.

"Weird, how?" Hunter asked.

"Well, first he kept staring at me and told me that I looked really familiar. Then when I told him my name, the color from his face just drained," Leila said.

"You have any idea why?" Hunter asked.

"No, I wish I did. So does Trent, his son. You two have something in common, adoption," Leila explained.

"Really? You're there for two days and you find a guy that reminds you of me, huh?" Hunter asked sarcastically. Leila laughed.

"Hey, he's a nice guy, but there's no one like you baby. Besides, it is so obvious how he feels about this girl I met, Kira. I think she's the yellow ranger. From the way you described it, they are exactly like Blake and Tori," Leila explained. She heard Hunter laugh.

"Playing around their emotions?" he asked.

"Yep," Leila replied.

"Well, last I heard Blake and Tori had hooked up. To what extent I don't know yet," Hunter said. Leila laughed. Hunter smiled when he heard her yawn.

"Well baby, I think I'll let you go. You sound tired and I don't want you to fall asleep on your first day of school," Hunter said.

"I'm sorry," Leila said.

"It's okay. I love you," Hunter replied.

"I love you too. Sweet dreams," Leila said.

"You too," Hunter responded. They hung up at the same time. Leila cut her lamp off and settled into her sheets. (Author's Note: As if you didn't see that coming!)

The Next Day:

Leila walked up towards the front door of Reefside High.

"Leila!" she heard. She turned around and saw Trent walking up to her.

"Hey Trent," she replied with a smile.

"Trent," the two heard. The two turned to see Anton Mercer walking up to them.

"Trent, I have a meeting out of town today, so I'll be home late. Oh, hello Leila," Anton said politely. Leila was a little uncomfortable by the air of mystery behind him.

"Hello sir," Leila said.

"We've got to go dad. I don't want Leila to be late on her first day," Trent said.

"Yea, my mom will kill me if I'm late," Leila explained.

"Your mom?" Anton questioned.

"Yea, Laura Omano," Leila replied. Not only did Anton's face fall again, but the color drained and he seemed to get dizzy. Leila and Trent both noticed this.

"Dad, are you okay?" Trent asked.

"Yes, I'm fine. I will see you later tonight. Both of you have a good days," Anton said before turning around and walking back towards his car. Trent and Leila both frowned as they watched him walk off.

"Do you have any idea about what's going on?" Leila asked.

"No, I really wish I did," Trent said.

"EVERY ONE OF YOU, GET TO CLASS!!!!" cried Principal Randall.

"What's up her shorts?" Leila asked. Trent laughed.

"Don't ask. Let's just get to class," he said. The two walked into school together. Meanwhile, Anton got to his car and took a deep breath. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a picture of two teenagers, a boy and a girl. The girl looked a lot like Leila.

"This can't be happening," he said.

Okay, as if I didn't make Hunter being the boyfriend obvious. What a weird start to Leila's first day, the run in with Anton. But what was it all about? And what's the story behind the picture? What else will happen the rest of the day? Find out in Chapter 5...please R & R.
