Lunch can be one of the most eventful times of the day. It held true when I introduced my ninja buds to my "squad" of friends. I basically told the boys that they should catch up with me later. Immediately after I invited my crew to lunch so the Hamatos could meet some new people. Matthew, Rishivvi, Sabina, Erika, Frances, Kailey, and some other boys I knew were coming to meet the new kids. I was hoping they would meet some new friends and be happy here in STEM academy. "Bean make sure they don't feel awkward or anything. These are my pals and they don't know ANYBODY!" I said to Sabina.
Bean was a nickname I had made up for her when I invented my catch phrase, Cool Beans. It just stuck and I had been calling her that ever since. Everyone arrived and yet, the ninjas weren't showing. Ten minutes in, I saw a flustered Raph, an arguably better looking Donnie, a cheerful Mikey, and a calm Leo. "GUYS! YOU'RE SO LATE!" I yelled with frustration and excitement.
"Sorry," said Raph, "Some kid, I think his name was Joe or somethin like that, he was messin with us while we were trying to find the cafeteria."
Joe, this kid was bad news in my school. It wasn't that he was intimidating or anything but, he was a really big jerk. I was hoping Raph wouldn't encounter him any time soon and start a fight. "Next time he'll lose his teeth," Raph grumbled. Lunch was a total success! All the boys hit it off with my best guy friends ever! Sam, Matt, and Rishvvi (everyone calls him Crispee though). Leo and Donnie really enjoyed Matt's company. Mikey goofed around with Sam and Rishvvi. Raph was pretty cool with Sam too but, he was too angry to talk a lot. After lunch we talked as we all headed to our next class. "You guys wanna go out to the park later?" I asked everyone.
"Yeah that sounds great! Just have to ask Sensei when we get home! When should we meet you there?" Leo was all about details when I asked to hang out with the guys.
"We can meet at 3:50 or 4:00 to whenever Maste-I mean Sensei, I-I mean ."
"Wait, you guys do martial arts!?" Sam asked excitedly.
"Yeah we do!" Mikey loved being a ninja.
I was taking martial arts too but a different style and I had only recently started to learn. Sam wanted to spar but he had the advantage of 8 years of training AND I was a girl (he didn't want to hurt me). "Can we spar when we get to the park?" Sam asked.
"Yeah sure. I don't wanna hurt you though, you're a good guy," Raph smirked. He was the toughest fighter out of all of them.
"Don't worry Raph. Sam's' got 8 years of experience. Besides I'm not much of a challenge." I giggled. The park was gonna be fun and I knew it.
