Not The Pink Ranger

Chapter Seven

Bindi, Adam, and Billy were at the Juice Bar helping each other with their homework. "I'm never going to remember the periodic table." Bindi dropped her head on her books.

"There is a lot to remember," Adam assured her.

"So much. Like most stuff comes easy. But how do people remember all the names of everything, why they do and what mixes with what? On top of what you shouldn't mix with what."

"We could do another study session tomorrow after school at my place. Could be good to be somewhere without so many distractions." Billy suggested.

Closing her books. "That sounds amazing. I'll bring the flash cards, that might help some." Bindi smiled placing her things back in her bag.

Skull came crashing in taking a seat next to Bindi, while Bulk slowly walked up to them. "Hey, pretty lady. When are we going out this weekend?" Skull threw his arm around her shoulder.

"Never, we are never going out." Pushing his arm off of her.

Leaning on the table. "Mom wanted me to tell you her and dad are going out to dinner tonight with friends."

"I know. She told me that this morning. They've had it planned for a few days."

"What she didn't tell you is, you are to make dinner for me and Skull here. We want spaghetti."

Getting up from her seat as she laughed. "Nice try Bulk, she left pizza money."

"We spent that money on stuff to capture the Power Rangers." Skull proudly said.

Gabbing her backpack. "Then it looks like you two will have to starve tonight. Because your dinner is not my problem ok?" Slinging the bag over her shoulder. "Later Billy, Adam." Bindi left the Juice Bar.

On her way out she bumped into Tommy. "Oh sorry. Are you ok?" He asked.

"I'm fine. How are you?"

Tommy looked a little nervous. "I'm good."

Kimberly bounced in. "Hey, Bindi. Leaving already?"

"Ya, I have to get some flash cards. What are you two up to?"

"Sounds boring. Stay and hang out with us." Kimberly pleaded.

Shaking her head. "Sorry, if I don't find a way to remember the periodic table. I'm in trouble for science." Bindi gave an apologetic looked as she left.

"She is always on the run. Maybe this weekend she'll play some volleyball with us at the park." Kimberly suggested.

"Maybe." Tommy smiled back as they joined their friends.

Bindi was running late as she made her way through the park. "Hey." Adam moved next to her.

"Your running late too?"

"My mom set up a dentist appointment for me this morning." He told her.

"It's good to have clean teeth."

Adam laughed. "Why are you late?"

"Overslept. I had a nightmare last night that kept me up. When I did get back to sleep I slept through my alarm."

"From when you were kidnapped?"

"No, this one was about my parent's death."

Aisha came running. "There you two are. Come, we could use the help."

They played a few games before taking a break to get some water. "I see you moved on." Tommy kept his voice low when he approached Bindi.

"What?"
