Reflections 10
Green on yellow
What to do about her?
Syd's the only one who knows how I feel about Z. At first I was afraid of the tough yellow ranger. Besides she was always attached to the red ranger and I was certain that they had a thing. Syd reassured me that Jack and Z's relationship was like hers and mine. I was so relieved at that revelation. Now if only I knew what to do about it.
Let me tell you what I like most about Z. Despite her tough exterior, she has a compassionate heart for people. She hates it when others are hurting. She'll do anything in her power to help others. Like Sam, a young boy she found and is now the Omega ranger. She's beautiful and self-sufficient, and she makes me laugh.
We actually have a lot in common. We both love old movies, basketball, and garbage pizza. Not to mention that we're both night owls. One night we had a competition to see who could stay up later. We both ended up crashing on the floor in the common room. Needless to say, Cruger was not amused when we came to morning meeting in our pajamas with dark circles under our eyes.
It's nice to have her around. She's like a sister to Sydney offering her the support that I just can't give, no matter how much Syd begs me. Besides sometimes Syd is so busy with Sky that's just me and Z. I guess that's how my feelings for her developed. We both get bored easily, so we constantly challenge each other in light ball, or a board game, or if we're feeling spunky we go spar in the training simulator.
She's thoughtful though she doesn't want you to know that. One day I found my favorite comic book outside my door. Or she will bring me some yummy buttery toast for no reason. I can't let her reputation be ruined by calling her a softie, but I know she's comfortable here at SPD, and with me.
Still I'm afraid to rock the boat and ask her out. What if it ruins our wonderful friendship? Syd told me to take a risk. Sometimes I live life too safely because I know all the dangers that emotions can bring. Z is the opposite, she's not afraid to take risks. She is always looking for a challenge and something new to learn. Though we have some similarities, we are still very different.
How do I get her to notice me?
