Teacher's Pet

Angel Grove High School

Angel Grove, California

November 21st, 1993

With the Thanksgiving holiday coming up soon, everyone was anxious for the five days they would be out of school. The events that had transpired over the last two weeks has everyone on edge and with the investigation into Veronica's murder was still underway, no one was safe from whoever killed her...and he was still lurking in the shadows and right under everyone's nose.

Trini once again walked into Mrs. Harper's classroom, still trying to comprehend about her awkward encounter with Anthony last week and being so wrapped up in his hug; as if he never wanted to let her go. She could barely sleep, barely eat and she didn't dare tell her friends about what happened because she was afraid either they wouldn't believe her or they would think she was hallucinating. Either way it goes, she kept her mouth shut, however, she knew she's gonna have to nip this in the bud as soon as possible. Which means she's gonna have to confront Anthony and tell him that what happened last week can never happen again.

However, little did she know, he has no intention of giving up his pursuit on her. If anything, he was just getting started.

And that alone would shake her to the core.

She took her place at her desk and sat her things down, just as more students started filling up the classroom for today's lesson. A few seconds later, Anthony came inside, sat his briefcase down on the desk and waited as the last student came inside the classroom before he closed the door. You could hear a pin drop as everyone sat at the desks, not moving a muscle, not making a sound, not doing anything. He flashed his megawatt smile at them (particularly at Trini) before he finally broke the silence between them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have an important announcement to make. I won't be coming back after the Thanksgiving holiday," he said, which caused some students to breath a sigh of relief while the others looked sad and disappointed.

"Mrs. Harper has made a full recovery from her stomach virus and she'll be returning on Monday. I wanna thank each and every one of you for embracing me as your teacher, but it's time for me to move on and find a new adventure. I'll never forget you and I hope you won't forget me long after I'm gone," he said as he walked throughout the classroom; pulling a piece of paper out of his pants pocket and when he walked by Trini's desk, he made sure to hand the paper right over to her before he headed towards the front of the room.

Curious, she unfolded the piece of paper and skimmed through what he had wrote. She had to hold in her breath when those four words started burning in her eyes:

Meet me after class

The usually tough and reserved yellow ranger was getting scared. Scared of what might happen if she didn't meet him or scared of what happened if she decided to see him after class. She still couldn't get over that hug and how he didn't wanna let her go; almost as if he was possessed. Now, all kinds of emotions was running through her mind and she didn't know what else to do.

But there was one thing she can do: handle the situation before it spirals out of control.

Setting the piece of paper down on top of her notebook, she looked up and noticed him looking over his shoulder and smiled at her eerily, mouthing the words 'after class' before returning to what he was writing on the chalkboard.

Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, she knew what she had to do.

The bell rang and students quickly filed out of the classroom, leaving Trini and Anthony the only ones left. When the last student left, Anthony went and closed the door while Trini slowly got up from her desk and gathered her things, then she hastily headed towards the door, but he blocked her path and smiled at her eerily once again, making her stomach churn.

"Mr. Chang, I really need to get to my next class, so if you would kindly step aside so I can leave, please?" she asked, almost pleading with him as she tried to move past him so she could leave.

He didn't budge. He didn't move and he kept his place right in front of her; even going so far than to place his hands on her shoulders to keep her from leaving. "I'm sorry, Ms. Kwan, but I need to do this or else I'll go completely insane."

"D-do what?" she stammered, her breath caught right in her throat when his face was now a mere inches away from hers.

"This," he whispered before he closed the gap and planted his lips against hers, causing her to go into complete and utter shock. Anthony wrapped his arms around her waist and crushed her to him, trying to deepen the kiss by parting her lips and slipping his tongue inside of her mouth. Once the initial shock wore off, Trini struggled to get away from him but prying his arms away from her, but he proved to be much stronger and tightened his grip on her. He even pushed er against the wall and raised her arms up over her head to keep her from moving as he continued kissing her passionately and causing her brain to go into overdrive with confusion, fear, numbness and apprehension; however, she continued fighting him off because she knew this wasn't right by any means.

With nothing else to lose, she managed to raise her knee up and kick him right where it hurts. She took her fight to another level by biting down on his tongue with her teeth, causing him to finally release her and doubling over in pain. His mouth was bleeding as he collapsed on the floor and screamed out in unimaginable pain as she headed towards the door and opened it, not before going back to him and kicking him in his groin once again for good measure.

"Mr. Chang, I'm sorry I had to do that, but you have to understand that I have a boyfriend and I love him very much. You and I will never happen, so you need to get over it and move on. If you ever do that to me again, I won't hesitate to report you to not only Mr. Kaplan, but the police as well. Goodbye, Mr. Chang," Trini said as she finally walked out of the classroom and disappeared from view, leaving him withering on the floor in pain.

And he was seething with rage, but he was also determined not to give up. Using the desk as leverage, he got up off the floor, blood dripping from his mouth as his groin was still throbbing in pain from being kneed hard. His breath was ragged and his whole body was shaking with anger because he was bested by a woman...for now.

It's not over until I say it's over, Trini. You will be mine before it's all said and done!

Meanwhile, once she had created enough distance down the hallway, Trini leaned against the wall and allowed fresh tears to stream down her face. She couldn't believe Anthony had the audacity to kiss her when she made it clear that she has a boyfriend, but he didn't care. He didn't care that she has a boyfriend and he clearly didn't care about losing his job if she were to report him. Now she has no other choice but to tell Jason what happened and hoped he won't break up with her after this.

A deep shudder went up and down her spine and an apprehension began pulling at her stomach because she has a sinking feeling that Anthony will not give up his pursuit of her.

And she would be right.

Angel Grove Youth Center

Angel Grove, California

November 21st, 1993

After teaching his last class of the day, Jason walked out of the youth center and began making his way home; his red duffle bag slung right over his broad shoulder as he walked down the sidewalk, minding his own business. As he continued heading home, he had no idea that he was being followed. A male figure was trailing right behind the original red ranger, rubbing his gloved hands together and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. He's been wanting to get his hands on the teenager for quite some time because Jason was standing in his was of his ultimate gold: getting his hands on his gorgeous girlfriend.

As soon as he turned around the corner, he'll finally makes his move.

Sure enough, just as Jason went around the corner, the male figure finally made his move. He ran up right behind the original red ranger and clocked him on the back of his head, causing him to go down. Jason didn't have time to recover or react when he was repeatedly kicked all over his body, causing him to wither in unimaginable pain. The male figure was relentless in his attack; punching, kicking and stomping all over the fallen man's body and getting great satisfaction in seeing him screaming out in pain. When it was all said and done, the male figure finally got tired and stopped his attack, then he stepped back and surveyed the extensive damage he caused. A sadistic smile formed on his handsome face as he leaned down and spit on Jason's battered and bruised face.

"This is just round one. Next time, you won't be so lucky," he hissed before he turned on his heel and walked away.

Mission accomplished. Now, for the next phase of my plan. And, very soon, Trinity Kwan will be mine!

Santa Barbara Police Station

Santa Barbara, California

November 21st, 1993

Detective Austin St. John (hehe) was looking over some paperwork on some old cases when he stumbled on a case of Christina Lo, a woman who was killed in a motorcycle accident six months ago. He looked through the photos of the accident, but something quickly caught his eye. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that this may not have been an accident after all. No, according to the photos, it looked more deliberate, more intentional and whoever caused the accident did a good job covering his tracks...until now.

Acting on a hunch, Det. St. John picked up the phone and called his commanding officer and told him what he had just found. Now that the truth about Christina's death has been revealed, it's only a matter of time before the person responsible will be brought to justice.

And he will definitely pay for his sins!
