Leo P.O.V
Today is the first day of school. Well my 4th year.
Me and Don both walked calmly down the stairs. Raph and Mike were going to be late, but we tried waking them. 'If they want to be late that's on them.' I thought.
Don was carrying his coffee mug 'to go' with him, he lives off that stuff. It was up to me to make sure my brothers did their jobs, chores, homework, and got to school on time since out father is never around. Ever since mom passed away a few years ago, he has to work hard to keep this house up. It's our home and we'd rather be homeless than move out and leave its wooden floors and Japanese styled embrace.
Our father, Yoshi, starts work at 5 a.m then comes home at 5 p.m then leaves for his second job at 7 then comes home at 11. We don't have much since dad never can get a good paying job, always having to opt for a second job. People should learn that old men are just as strong and able to work as young ones.
My brothers are Raphael(raph), Michelangelo(mike), and Donatello(Donnie). I'm Leonardo(Leo). I'm in 12th grade. I'm currently 17 -going-on- 18. Don and Raph are barley 16, they're twins. Mike's only 13, just barley.
As me and my brothers are walking to school, an all age school, we walk up towards the school to see multiple banners and signs posted up on school's outside walls. And a enrollment sign up at the front with some of last years student body setting some kids set up. Me and my brothers quickly made our way over to enrollment before the line could get any longer. As we stood in the line a conversation quickly started.
"Man, we're finally back to school!",said Don smiling, Don always loved school, despite the fact he sometimes gets bullied, he loves learning, and in our family, bullies don't get many chances to hurt the four of us. We're close, closer than any group of brothers - no - siblings for that matter, that you'll ever meet.
Raph groaned and muttered something under his breath. He wasn't as enthusiastic.
"Same here bro! I can't wait to see what art teacher we have this year! Jackie has this new video game, 'Aliens Force 3', it's so cool it's supposed to be the most popular game this year! He says I can play it at his house!" Mike was absolutely beaming. Mike loves video games, he also has a habit of being loud, overbearing, and just... all out. But we love him anyway, we rarely ever say something to him that rude and mean it.
"I just want to get the school year over with.", I said whilst yawning. I was up all night looking for jobs to book to see if I could help father out with the bills and house.
Jackie was Mike's right hand man. They knew each other like their back hand. They were friends since 6th grade. They thought alike and even had the same hobbies. They both enjoyed Pizza,music,skating,graffiti and any kind of art. But they both had a big heart which made them best friends since they met.
We finally got to the small table with the two student bodies studying a list.
"Names?" One asked.
"We're all Hamato" I say coolly
"Donatello." She hands Don his schedule.
"Raphael."She hands Raph his.
"Leonardo." She hands me mine.
"Michelangelo."She hands Mike his.
"MIKE!" See, Mikey's right hand. Us 4 turn to see Jackie, April, and Casey running towards us.
We all quickly thank the 12th graders and run towards our friends.
April was an family friend since I was in 7th grade. She was Casey's girlfriend. At one point, Don has a small teen crush on her but;
1. Since April and Casey are my age, that put him out of her league.
2. He was shy and she was a red head that was determined and fiery, but kind and gentle at the same time.
They get along because they both are into technology, they're still close friends and will geek over things together. But it was established a while back that Don was over her and no hard feelings were made between Casey and Don.
Casey is our friend but mostly Raph's. We have all known him since 7th grade as well. He gets along with Raph mostly because of their uncontrollable anger. The hotheads are quick to anger over the smallest things but our extremely protective of the ones they love. Mike says that they are just friends because they both have thick Brooklyn accents, typical to anyone who grew up in NY.
Anyway, Casey starts to talk with Raph I start to talk with Don and April, While Mike and Jackie are enthusing about the abandoned factory in the game, and the game itself that Mike babbled on about earlier. Soon we started discussing class's.
"Looks like me and Jackie have every class together, except PE and our Electives, Art and Music!" Mike said happily.
"I have Don in my music, leadership, and P.E. " Raph said smiling at Don, even though the two didn't really get along sometimes, they always made sure to share classes since.. since Don was getting heavily bullied in middle school. It scared Raph when Don wasn't in ANYONE's classes. Don skipped one grade. He was allowed to skip more but didn't want to leave school before the rest of us did... or at least I did. The only thing he wasn't skipped in was electives (Leadership and Music) and P.E.
"I have Science with Karai,Donnie in my Homeroom, and Karai is in my French!" I practically had to use every bit of willpower not to go smile like an idiot! I was in a hate/love relationship with Karai. I had crushed on her since 9th grade... not like I'll speak up about it, I couldn't focus on love, I had to focus on my family and getting a job.
"I have Raph in my music, leadership, and P.E; Leo in my Homeroom, and April in Spanish,History,and Math!" Don was beaming like Mike was earlier... He was beaming 'cause he had 3 class's with April.
The bell rings and Raph,April,Casey,and Mike groans. Me and Don smile at them as me and Don make our way to home room we see a glimpse of the others leaving for their homerooms.
Mikey P.O.V
As I left for my class I groaned. I looked at my brothers.
Leo was around 6' , maybe 6'1. He had broad shoulder, lean muscle and all. He was the all popular god... He never was like the other popular kids, ya know? The ones that bully others. But because of his looks and coolness, the kids never stopped him from stopping other's from bullying. That was another point he got to his popularity, he stood up for others and girls went crazy for that! He has blue eyes like mine but they are like sapphires, narrow-like and seemed to be glowing when he was upset, worried, happy, or focused. He has shoulder length black hair that seemed to give him a sharp edge.
He was A and B's and the son that always represented us, because he's eldest.
He wore nice fitting blue jeans, a black over jacket, and a blue t-shirt. With blue vans, he looked like nothing special. Just an average kid.. 'till you asked a random kid if you knew the hottest and most popular guy in the school. Yup, that's what he's labeled as..
Raph was a bit shorter. He was around 5'10, 5'9, soon he would verge into 6'. He had the same blonde hair I did , just shades darker, in the dark it looked brown and in the light it was a rustic blonde color. It was always spiked naturally, but some days for extra flare, he'd put tons of gel and grease to make it cooler than it already is. He had the same brown eyes as Don. Him and Don were fraternal twins of course!
He was popular as well. But not the way you think! He's the bad boy, rebel cool. The one everyone had better respect and bow down to or don't even step near him. He's a bit stocky but is all muscle. He used to be on the football, with him as quarterback or lineman every game was won.
He stopped when they tried influencing him to do stupid stuff, when the team began picking on me and Don (more so Don), and when he found a love in auto mechanics and decided it wasn't worth it to throw away his family and life for a stupid team.
He was wearing a black leather jacket and black jeans, his black leather jack was unzipped until half way to reveal his red tank that said, 'Does it look like I care?'. He was smart to wear a jacket over it so when someone tried to see what it said, he could zip it up quick so no one knew it was a shirt he couldn't wear on school property! He was wearing dark crimson red converse.
Don was 6'2, maybe verging 6'3. You'd think he'd use his height..
But he's a kind guy, shy and gentle, and he wouldn't harm a fly unless it were for family and/or friends. He's literally all A's, skipped a grade, and every geek/nerd/weirdo in school worshiped him. He even had a small group of girls falling for him. The only reason he's picked on his because he is the person people wanted to make do their homework, and he's so shy that he won't tell anybody! He's the smartest person you'll ever meet.
He had light brown eyes, brown hair that was in a loose ponytail, and wore a simple jacket over a purple button up shirt and khakis. Purple converse for the win!
I'm not to bad myself. I have baby blue eyes, freckles, and curly, crazy golden blonde hair that looked like I never comb it..
I comb it ever week, YOU try living with a mop on your head!
Also, I'm a trouble maker, I try not to be but I can't help it! I only do harmless pranks but I usually need my brothers to bail me out... not!...OK maybe. I have a few enemies but I'm so slick they never get me! I'm known for my ability to wisecrack and joke about anything, I'm basically class clown! Not to brag.
I was wearing my favorite over sized orange hoodie with a electric green undershirt saying, 'Need for Speed!'. Raph think it's stupid, like I care, it's awesome! I also had bright green and orange accented running shoes with dark brown cargo shorts.
As I walk to my homeroom I stop at my new locker. It seems fairly big but extremely BORING! I'm deciding to take some posters from my room to school tomorrow. I quickly shove my books for periods after lunch away then leg it to HR. On my way I see Raph in the line outside his HR's door impatiently tapping his foot. He sees me and gives a quick wave before his teacher opens his door and lets him and his peers in. I return the wave right when the bell rings. Before Raph goes in he gives me a teasing smirk. I roll my eyes bolting down the hall.
The rest of the day was uneventful. I cracked a few jokes so my teachers knew where I stand. Just the boring introductory that you get ever year even if you were here the previous year, or... your brothers were. Sadly.
Me and My brothers meet at the front of the school with April,Casey,and Jackie. All 7 of us start walking home. April's house is closest to school so she departs first,then Casey, then Jackie. Now me and my brothers arrive home. As soon as we are we each start doing our own starts doing science things and studies for a upcoming placement test for Math even though we all know hes the smartest kid in school, he even corrects the teachers daily!(Which makes him the school's bitter-sweet least favorite)Raph feeds Spike(Our pet turtle) and goes to the living room to watch TV. Leo sits at the dinning table to do his homework while snacking on some left-over pasta. I go to the couch and sit besides Raph sketching me skating with Jackie at the abandon factory that supposed to be in the game!
Something I was totally stoked about! I would occasionally see Raph peeking over my shoulder to catch what I was drawing and I don't think he found out what it was until I told him halfway through. Later on after my drawing was shaded and colored (I am a ARTIST after all) I began my homework after Leo's order. Raph too despite his protests. Later on I realized today was my turn to cook so I decided to just order some pizza even though I LOVE to cook and everyone loves it when I cook, I felt like pizza so...ya
After we ate Leo put the food away and we began to head to bed. We each had our own rooms but they were fairly small. Dad doesn't have enough money to get a bigger house so we're stuck with this one. But I like this house it's really cozy and we grew up here!Anyway, I got under my orange blanket that had a darker orange painted spray can pattern on it. I put my phone on charge after texting Jackie about a great place to where games where cheap, hiding from from Leo so he couldn't make me sleep and put my head on my blanket's matching pillow. I soon let the darkness over take me and soon I was in a full-on sleep.
A/N
Hi guys! Yes! I noticed Mike would still be in 8th grade and would not see Raph going to his class! The school is all linked together for the times when NY got snowy or rained and it was still a school day. So that's also why Mike was late because his school is literally all the way across campus, but Raph's homeroom happened to be by his locker...
Did that explain it?
Hope so, anyway, See ya!
