Chapter 1: A Yellow Rose and a Secret Admirer

Year 2004- Reefside High

It was just another ordinary day in Reefside. The sun shined, the clouds passed by, and life couldn't be any better. So you thought.

A young Kira Ford was sitting under a tree strumming her guitar. She was practicing her song, "Freak You Out" for a performance later that day. A breeze blew by and her blonde hair flowed in the gentle breeze. The sun shined down on her soft face, letting her natural beauty glow. Kira softly closed her eyes as she reminisced.

A red soccer ball was coming her way and Kira's eyes were still closed. A red clad boy ran towards her, calling out her name.

"Kira! Look out!" shouted the red clad teenager.

Kira's eyes shot open when the ball was coming at her. She moved out of the way and the ball hit the tree and bounced back over towards the red clad boy.

"Watch where you are kicking that ball, Conner!" shouted Kira.

A young Conner McKnight smiled at the yellow beauty as he walked up to her.

"Sorry, babe! Didn't mean to kick the ball at you like that." said Conner.

"Don't call me 'babe', Conner! Next time, better aim. You could get someone killed with that kick of yours." said Kira with smile.

"So I'm having an off day. Everybody has one." said Conner.

"But I thought the Great Conner McKnight never has an off day." said Kira smiling.

Conner smiled and laughed at Kira's comment. Kira always knew how to make him laughed. He loved it when she made him laugh.

Kira's heart fluttered for some odd reason whenever Conner smiled like that. She had no idea why that was happening.

'Okay, why is my heart fluttering like this every time he smiles like that? I don't understand. I know he has a beautiful smile and brown eyes you can—whoa! What am I saying? Kira snap out of it!'

While Conner and Kira were talking, a blue clad boy and a white clad boy walked up towards them.

"Hey guys!" said the white clad boy.

"How are my two favorite partners in crimefighting doing today?" said the blue clad boy.

"Besides Conner almost knocking my head off, we're doing fine." said Kira with a smile.

"Wow, the great Conner McKnight having an off day? Never thought that would happen." said Trent sarcastically.

"Very funny." said Conner.

The morning bell rung and the four friends headed off to class. When they got there, they gave a swift hello to their teacher and friend, Dr. Tommy Oliver. They sat down in their seats and waited for today's assignment.

"Okay, guys. Today's assignment is a partner project. And I don't want no buts or whats about it." said Dr. O as the class whined.

"Dr. O, do we seriously have to do this?" said Conner.

"Yes, Conner, you have to do this. Now your project will be about one of the dinosaurs we talked about. Both you and your partner will do research on the dinosaur I assign you. I've also already assigned partners, so no, you do not get to choose your partners." said Dr. O with a smile.

Dr. O called out the partners and assigned a dinosaur for each partner. Unfortunately for Kira, she got Conner for a partner. He was the last person she wanted for a partner.

Later that day, Kira headed to her locker to grab some books she needed. What was Dr. O thinking? Putting her and Conner together as partners for the project was not good at all. Either he was hit in the head too hard in the last battle, or he woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

'Why did he partner me up with Conner? Is he out of his mind!'

'No, but I think you are.'

'What?'

'Come on, tell me you don't feel anything when you are around Conner.'

'The only thing I feel when I'm around Conner is annoyed. Nothing more.'

'Liar!'

'I am not lying! Why do you care anyways?'

'I care because I'm that little voice in your head that never shuts up.'

'Whatever! You're no help anyways.'

'And you are hopeless!'

'What do you mean by that?'

'What do you think I mean?'

'If this has something to do with the way I feel about Conner, this conversation is over!'

Kira opened her locker and noticed a single yellow rose lying on top of her books. She picked up and sniffed it gently. Kira smiled and looked up to see a small note. She picked up the note and read it.

Kira,

In a field of red roses, a single yellow rose stands out. In a crowd of beautiful girls, you are the only one who stands out in my eyes. Just like this yellow rose, I would choose you out of all the red roses. Please take this rose as a symbol of my love for you and treasure it forever. I will never forget you.

Love Always,

Your Secret Admirer

A secret admirer? Who would do all this for her? Was it Trent? Yeah, it was Trent. It had to be true. Kira smiled at the thought.

'What if it's Conner?'

'Doubt it!'

'Why?'

'This is so not like Conner! He wouldn't go through all this to impress me. It's crazy! It's-'

'Sweet of him?'

Kira thought about if Conner did this for her. It was a sweet thought. She blushed. Wait a minute? Why is she blushing? She shouldn't be blushing at the thought of Conner doing this! It's wrong and it's insane! Kira shook off the feeling but it still remained in her heart.

'I can't have feelings for Conner! He's my friend and I could never see him as more than a friend.'

'Or so you thought. Kira, admit it! You're in love with the once dumb jock!

'No, I am not in love with Conner! I can't be!'

'Okay, but you are going to regret saying that.'

'No, I won't. Just go away!'

Kira grabbed her books out her locker and closed it. As Kira turned around, she didn't see Conner coming and bumped right into him. Her books and the rose fell to the ground.

"Sorry, Conner. I didn't see you! It's my fault! I didn't mean to run into you. It's just that I have so much on my mind right now it is hard to pay attention to where I am going and I completely lose track of where I was…"

"Kira, you're rambling." said Conner smiling.

"Oh sorry. I really need to learn not to ramble like that." replied Kira.

"It's okay. I actually came over to ask you when you would like to start working on our project. Since we are partners and all." said Conner.

"How about we work on it later after school tonight at my house." answered Kira.

"Okay, sounds good to me." said Conner smiling.

Conner noticed a yellow rose and a note. He picked both of them up and wondered who gave Kira these. He read the note and smiled.

"Looks like someone has a secret admirer. I wonder who it could be." joked Conner.

"That's none of your business, Conner. So keep your big nose out of it." Kira replied.

"Okay, I'll keep my big nose out of your business. I'll see you later, Kira." said Conner.

"Later, Conner!" said Kira with a smile.

Conner smiled back and Kira got all tingly again. It was a weird feeling and it was starting to drive her nuts.

'Why is it every time I see him smile, I get all tingly inside?'

'Maybe it's because you feel something for the soccer king!'

'I do not! You are getting on my last nerve!'

'Just trying to do my job, as if you care.'

'Will you shut up and leave me alone! I'll call you if I need you.'

'Fine, don't come running to me when you start making out with the king of all jocks!'

'SHUT UP!'

Kira gathered her things and headed to her next class of the day. She did start thinking about what could possibly happen later tonight with Conner. How was she going to be able to control herself around Conner when she knows that he makes her feel differently? It was going to be a long night.

Conner stood in the shadows, watching Kira walk away. His plan was working so far. Only time will tell if he succeeds.

'I love torturing Kira. It's fun to watch her get all nervous around me.'

'Hey, don't forget the reason why you are doing this!'

'I know. If she only knew how I feel about her.'

'She already does, dumbass! She just doesn't know it's you!'

'Aren't you supposed to help me?'

'Yeah, why? You got a problem with the way I'm helping?'

'No, but you don't have to be so mean. You are so suppose to be wise or something like that!'

'What? Like Dr. Phil? No way, man! I am not Dr. Phil! So get over it!'

'Whatever, dude.'

Conner knew exactly what he was doing and no voice in his head was going to stop him. The bell rang and Conner left for his next class. Tonight was going to be interesting.
