Chapter 1: New Teacher
April 2004; Reefside, California
Conner McKnight, Kira Ford, and Trent Mercer all together sat on the benches amongst Reefside High while chilling and socializing with one another. Conner was practicing on his soccer moves, while Kira was frustrating herself in her lyrics and Trent in his sketching. School was going to start in less than 25 minutes and they began to collect their stuff and head slowly to the entrance of the school. They notice that there was no sign of Ethan and Dr. Oliver. Nevertheless, they continued to make conversations with each other.
"So, did you guys finish the history paper on World War II?" Conner asked.
"The two pages-yeah, and you?" Kira inquired while cocking her eyebrow at him. He put his hands in defense in order to avoid her criticism.
"Don't give me that look, Kira! At Ieast I did one page and a half. I couldn't think of anything else to write about." Trent shook his head in shame at Conner and Kira scoffed at Conner's lame excuse. "You know what Kira, just because you're able to get and A in history, doesn't mean you need to look down at me. Actually, I don't see it as a possibility for you to look down at me at all," he joked while relating his height to hers.
"Real nice Conner, at least I still dominate every class you fail to do your homework in." Trent felt the tension between Kira and Conner and made an obnoxious sound on his burn from Kira.
"That's not true; I do Dr. O's homework," Conner defended himself.
"Hmm, yes and how do you have a C in that class?" Kira retorted back curiously.
"It's a hard class," Conner exaggerated.
"Of course, whatever you say, Conner," Kira replied sarcastically.
"Man, is it me or is Mesagog trying to wait for an opportune moment to catch us off guard?" Trent said, as they started packing up their stuff and walking toward the Reefside High's entrance.
"Yeah that'll be the day when he attacks at 5:00 a.m. in the morning," Conner added.
"Yeah, it's weird isn't it? But what's weirder is Dr. O's distance between us. One moment he's like hey guys, the next thing you know is he's like bye," Kira said, feeling a little hurt.
"Just like that?" Trent asked doubtfully.
"Just like that," Kira replied.
"It could be normal, he's done this before remember," Conner said.
"Yeah, but nothing like this," Kira answered.
"Well, we need to talk to him soon, as a team." At that moment, Ethan came running from his mom's car to his friends at the school's door, panting along the way.
"Dude, what happen this morning?" Conner said shaking his head at his suffering friend.
"Sorry guys, I accidentally woke up late this morning." Ethan admitted. "And then my mom started yelling at me for staying up late last night."
"What were you doing last night?" Kira inquired.
"I was playing Halo, with Devin at one a.m."
"In the morning!"They all exclaimed at Ethan.
"Hell yeah, Devin and I were playing with the internet. My new record is 35 kills, 2 deaths."
"Awesome!" Conner patted his friend on the back.
"Well, Ethan I'm proud of you, you officially became a moron." Kira said, while they all nodded in agreement. They walked up the steps and out of curiosity Ethan looked around the parking lot, but saw no black jeep. He needed to confirm with Dr. O about the new energy source Dr. O was tracking. He only mentioned it to Ethan and not the other rangers, because he had a feeling what this energy source was.
"Ethan, you coming inside, or do you plan on having your mom yell at you again?" Trent asked.
Ethan ignored Trent's comment and asked curiously, "Yo, where's Dr. O?"
"Dunno, why?" Conner answered.
"His jeep is not in the parking lot," Ethan said. Their eyes scanned the parking lot, but no jeep.
"Ethan's right. Maybe he's running late or something came up," Kira added to cheer the boys up.
"Should we look for him?" Trent said volunteering.
"Call Hayley," Ethan told Conner. All four of them walked several feet away from the school and Conner connected through Hayley using his bracelet.
"Hayley?" Conner called.
"Yeah, Conner, What's up?"
"Where's Dr. O?"
"He's not here at the house right now; he left like twenty minutes ago. Isn't he there at school?" The rangers felt anxious and wondered where Dr. O could be.
"No, his jeep's not here either."
"He must be searching for something in the woods again. I'll try to contact him, in the meantime I suggest the four of you to head for class, before Randall let's you have it."
"We're going; by the way, if you get through to Dr. O, tell him that we need to talk afterschool, at his house."
"Alright."
"Bye." The other line hanged up and Conner looked at his friends.
"Well?" Ethan asked.
"Later Ethan, afterschool we'll talk." They ended their conversation, noticing that the front yard was empty. They hasten through the door, into the hallway, and into their first period science class where Dr. O was supposed to be. Their worst fear was seeing Principal Randall and a substitute at her side.
"Well I'm glad you four decided to join us. You will happily join detention afterschool for your tardiness."
"But Principal Randall…I, we-" All four of them simultaneously tried to explain their excuse for being late.
"Enough! At least show some dignity to your classmates and you new substitute today. Now the four of you take your seats. If you have any problems with them, Mr. Hemmingway, please let me know." With that she left and they reluctantly took their seats and paid some attention to their new sub. When the bell rang, they were the first to get out their seats and head for the door.
"I can't believe we have an hour of detention with Randall," Ethan groaned as they walked to their next class.
"Well, she didn't specified that she was covering up detention," Kira stated.
"What are going to do? We're supposed to be meeting Dr. O afterschool," Conner complained relentlessly.
"Maybe he can talk with Randall and pick us up," Trent suggested.
"I don't know, but it's worth a shot. He does owe us," Kira said. They walked inside their history class with rest of the students, but there was no teacher.
"Where's Mr. Duncan?" Conner asked, curiously. "He's never late."
"Don't look at me!" Kira defended as they all gave her a look. All of a sudden an attractive, breathtaking young woman walked in the door confidently and sat her stuff on Mr. Duncan's desk. All of the guys in the classroom whistled and watched her as she began to organize her stuff and as she carelessly dropped a couple of her writing utensils, and picked them up, while observing how she would bend over without breaking a sweat.
"Whoa, who let Angelina Jolie in the building?" Ethan said in amusement as Trent patted him on the back.
Conner was the most affected by her presence. She wore a white blouse and a shiny purple skirt, with a pair of matching stiletto heels that had bows on them. She wore a diamond ring on her index finger and a necklace around her neck. Her hair was long with bangs that reached to her shoulders. She had clear, blue eyes and after all she had, Conner bet all the men she's been with, wanted her. Images were racing through Conner's mind, if he was a little older, he thought, he might be able to tame her.
"Conner, are you there?" Kira waved her hand in front of Conner's blank face with his mouth wide open and drooling. "Eww Conner, you're drooling!"
"Yeah?" He wiped his saliva off and noticed his friends were just staring at him. "What?"
"Dude, I can't believe she's our new teacher and I can't believe you just drooled," Ethan said. Conner felt that his life has finally changed. This mysterious, but fine-looking teacher wrote her full name on the board and turned her attention to the class.
"Good morning class," she said confidently and with a foreign accent. "My name is Evelyn Kendrick; you may call me Miss Kendrick or Dr. K, whatever you prefer. I am disappointed to hear of Mr. Duncan's early leave in the school year. However, he left for a purpose and we must continue what we started." Cassidy whispered impatiently for Devin to bring out his camera, but Miss Kendrick said," Oh please, no flash photography or recording in here."
"Can you at least share your background with us, Dr. Kendrick," Cassidy asked.
"Some background information about me, um…well-I have lived in Europe all my life, except France. You all are wondering why I am called doctor, well it is because I'm an archeologist. I have traveled all over the world and seen things that you all probably couldn't imagine."
"Dude, that accent is sexy!" Ethan exclaimed.
"I have taught several dance and martial arts classes. I adore the outside world and absolutely love camping." The class paid attention as she continued on," That's all about me, for now. So, I hope this class will become a benefit for you all. There will be some homework, quizzes, and examinations." They class moaned in agony, thinking they were so close of getting rid of homework. "However, if you study real hard, they'll be no finals. In my teaching, I believe you should feel and see history being made instead of reading it in those boring textbooks. So, we will go on fieldtrips and learn lots of things that your former teacher couldn't teach you. "
"I'm starting to like this class," Conner said.
"I also heard that you had essays due, but they won't be counted. We're going to start all over, but skip around a lot. So, hopefully I'll get you names memorize. Grab the textbooks on your desk and turn to Chapter 1." She grabbed her own and did as the class did, and turned to Chapter 1 that discussed the early civilizations.
"So, does anyone want to tell me the first thing that happen before man came on earth?" All the guys' hands flew up eagerly and she picked the African-American with the blue shirt on.
"Tell me your name and answer."
"Okay, my name's Ethan and God created the Earth." They class laughed and he had an annoyed look on his face. "What, it's true?" He explained to his friends that boasted in laughter.
"Hey, there is no laughing at each other! What Ethan said is true, that is what happened in religious terms? But, can you answer me in logic terms Ethan?"
"Dinosaurs ruled the Earth."
"Exactly, dinosaurs came before man, and I hear your science teacher has been discussing that topic since the beginning of the year."
"Yeah, Dr. Oliver," Conner said.
"And you are?"
"Conner, Conner McKnight." Conner said coquettishly.
"Thank you Conner. This question is for you, Mr. Bond. Of course there are no dinosaurs nowadays, and scientists are discovering their fossils all over the world. What happen to them in your own words?"
"They were wiped out, by a meteoroid that crashed into Earth."
"Yes, bringing forth life, after life ended. Ironic is it not? I do believe you are familiar with the phrase, It's the Circle of Life." Then Ethan started humming the theme song from Lion King.
"Yes, yes very nice Ethan. So the wheel on this circle of life turned, and man came to existence. Over another thousand years ago after the era of man came, civilizations formed. One of them is called Mesopotamia and this Mesopotamia was a vast land of sand, and unbearable heat. Any questions?"
In hushed tones they whispered as their hot teacher spoke." You know what Kira, history is not that bad," Conner said grinning from ear to ear.
"Only you Conner, only you," Kira glared at him as she said.
