Chapter 1: A Jock and Artist
The school bell rang and Conner closed his locker door shut. It has been a few weeks after he became the Red Dino Thunder Ranger and he was getting use to his busy life. He threw his backpack over his shoulder and brushed his hands through his hair as he made his way through the crowd of kids to get to Science Class. Opening the door, the young jock made his way into the room and took his seat. Students after students were entering the class and taking their respective seat. Conner pulled out his red note book and looked up to see Ethan walking in with his Laptop. Ethan nodded to his friend and teammate before taking his seat in the back of the room. Doctor Tommy Oliver walked in, holding a small suite case. He closed the door and placed it on his desk before looking up at everyone. The class all turned silent and turned to him.
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more
"Morning Class." Dr O spoke up.
"Morning." The class chorus all once.
Dr O glanced around the class and noticed a few seats missing. He sighed and wrote an assignment on the board before turning back to them.
"Has anyone seen Kira? Or Cassidy and Devin for that matter?" Dr O asked.
The class remained silent, exchanging glances at each other. Dr O shifted his eyes to Conner, who just shrugged and looked down at his note book.
"If I'm not mistaken, isn't that Kira out there." Ethan pointed out the window with his blue pen.
Tommy walked over to the window and stared out, to see Kira playing her guitar out on the grass. The sun was shining brightly down on her, as the trees swayed in the background.
Tommy turned to Conner and then back at Kira, "Hey Conner. Why don't you remind her that class already began." He suggested.
Conner groaned, "Do I have to Dr. O? She'll just bite my head off. Like she always do."
"Just do it." He responded before walking back to his desk.
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
Conner sighed and stood up from his stool, making his way out the room into the empty hall way. He turned his head to see Cassidy and Devin running past him, nearly knocking him over. He watched as they enter Dr. O's class room before heading towards the exit. He opened the door, the sun's ray hitting him in the eyes. He covered them with his hands and looked over to see Kira. Conner stood there, watching her strum the cords on her guitar, humming a small melody. She looked so beautiful, sitting there in the golden sun. Conner couldn't deny that. He cracked a small smile and slowly started walking. He bent down and picked up a soccer ball and made his way up the field towards her.
"Kira." He spoke up to her
She looked up and smiled, "Hey Conner."
"You do know, class started right?" He asked her.
She shrugged, "Yeah I do, but I'm trying to finish this song. I'm on a role."
Conner chuckled and took a seat next to her, in the grass. He tossed the soccer ball up and down and looked at her.
"So what's this song about?" He asked curiously
"A love song." She said softly, "Wanna hear?"
Conner shrugged, "Why not?"
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved
She started to play the guitar again, humming a little. Conner put down the ball and laid on the grass, looking up at the sky. He listen carefully of the awesome song she was producing. The tune was so relaxing and nice.
She began to sing her heart out, "So here I lay, on the grass, staring up at the starry night. Here I lay, in a different world, wishing and waiting for you. Love has bound me, and taken me away, but I wouldn't have it any other way."
Conner smiled, the wind began to pick up again. He felt the cool breeze blow by as she continued to sing. He sat up and stared at her.
"Love is just some crazy thing, some crazy thing I need. Love keeps me going now, going farther then I can. Makes me do things, I never thought I could. Love is just a crazy thing, no your the crazy thing, the greatest thing that has happen to me.." She began to trail off.
"Is that it?" Conner asked, a bit disappointed.
"I'm not done yet. It's sort of in the works.." She responded.
Conner laughed and leaned back, "I like the song."
She bit her lips and began to blush. She was a bit speechless. She turned her head away to look out into the distant.
Conner leaned over, "Is something wrong? Did I say something stupid?"
She smiled, "No Conner." She replied, turning back to him, "Let's go to class." She said as she stood up.
She extended her hand and helped her friend up and they both began to walk off the field.
I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
"You seam to be in a good mood." Conner pointed out as he opened the school door for her.
She rolled her eyes, "Don't get use to it Con boy." She joked, "To be honest. Since I got to know you a little, your not all that of a jerk."
Conner couldn't help but chuckle, "Yeah I know. Who could resist a boy like me."
She groaned and began walking away from Conner, heading towards the classroom. Conner stood there at the door, trying to figure out what just happen. Kira put her hands on the door knob and smiled, looking back at him, giving him a small wink before entering the room. Conner scratched his head and stood there crossing his arms.
"This science class, just might be interesting." He commented.
