Hello, again! Thank you so much to all you reviewers, I feel like a beauty queen or something… anyway, I would be updating and adding new chapters faster but I'm in Secondary school (and we get tons of homework as well). I'm going to try to update everyday but I'm not making any promises. This chapter is part of Story 1 by the way.

Story 1 (continuation)

Kate's POV

"Hi, I'm Kate." Kate watched the five pairs of eyes, their expressions seemed confused and a bit… scared? The one with the purple mask spoke up

"We don't see humans often…please excuse us…" he gave her a weak smile and got off the couch to shake her hand "I'm Donatello, but you can just call me Donnie or Don or—"

"We get it, Donnie." The one with the orange mask interrupted and he waved at her "I'm Michelangelo, but call me Miche."

"Ok, and let me guess… your name is Jan as in Jan van Eyck." Kate guessed pointing at the turtle with the red mask

"No, stupid. It's"

"Raphael…" the rat man said

" Sorry, I meant, no dumbo..." He didn't seem comfortable with not insulting people and he also didn't seem interested in her. In fact he was too busy watching his Japanese manga to look at her.

"His name is Raphael, and he's a bit of a hot head…well actually he's a LOT of a hot head." Miche grinned at her

"Yeah, don't mind him. He acted the same towards April." Donnie smiled as he said this

"April? There's a girl turtle?" Kate could only imagine what she looked like

"No, she's human like you but she's on a mission. She'll be back in a few m—"

"Hey, guys!" A girl with orange hair walked in a pizza box in hand. She was smiling—that is until she saw Kate. "Wait, are you a… you're a girl… how did you get in…" she seemed so shocked that she dropped the pizza box

"April, this is Kate. For some reason the Kraang are chasing her so we took her in. Also, YOU DROPPED THE FREAKIN' PIZZA!" Miche was in hysterics, he dived for the food and opened it to see if it was still edible "It's ok, little guys… papa's got you…" he whispered taking a slice

"Miche here, has an obsession with pizza. He's in need of a psychiatrist." April joked

"Whatever." The turtle stuck his tongue out at her and left—with his pizza of course

"Wait, so the mission was to… get pizza?"

"I like to think of it like that. I'm not allowed to go on real missions…" April huffed

"Oh… will I be able to go on missions as well?" Kate asked bluntly. She had literally just met these guys but was asking them if she could enter their team already. They didn't seem to notice her bluntness.

"No, you'll stay here with April but you will train." The large rat man answered

"Oh… so what do we… what do we do now?"

"We explain everything to you of course."

...^...

" And that's why they hate us to death." Leo finished

"Wow, that's… it's very…" Kate stuttered trying to process everything

"Complicated? We know." Leo smiled at her

"Ok… so they experimented on you?" she asked April concern in her eyes

"Well, yeah but only…" she choked up as if remembering horrible things "only a little…" her welled up with tears and Donnie patted her on the back

"I'm so sorry…" Kate frowned

"It ok, I'm fine... Oh! Let me show you my room. You'll have to stay in it with me since we weren't expecting a guest." April's eyes narrowed at Leo and he shrugged

She led her down a corridor till they got to a door. "How's there a door down here?" Kate asked

"You'd be surprised of the things people throw out. You know that TV we have? Someone threw it out."

"What? How could someone just…"

"I know, what a waste, but people are crazy." April opened the door revealing two beds and a small desk.

"Cool." Kate sat on the right bed

"I know this is sudden and all so, can I tell you something?" April sat down and looked at her

"Sure, go ahead." Kate assured

" I… I don't have any girl friends or siblings and I was wondering if… it's so embarrassing but could you be… could you be like my sister?"

"Of course! I don't have any siblings either."

"Thank you! Thank you so much! You don't know what that means to me." April embraced her then pulled away "Do you know what it's like to go bra shopping by yourself and have male turtles staring at you like you're the weirdo?" Kate giggled rolling her eyes

"No, but I went bra shopping with my male roommate because he was the oldest out of us and the caretaker was too lazy to take me." Kate laughed

"Wait, caretaker?"

"I'm an orphan…"

"Oh…"

"Don't worry it's Ok." Kate smiled at her

"Ok, so what's up with you and Leo?" April asked

Kate's face turned bright red "What?! Nothing is going on between us! We're just friends. He was my first friend so I guess I like him but not that… not that way."

"Sure," April smirked "I don't believe you but I'll tell you my crush if you tell me yours." April offered giggling

"Fine, you go first." Kate said

"I have a crush on two people. But, I'm kinda torn between them. I like this guy—a human—named Casey but then I think I kinda like Donnie too. Casey I guess is just likable and Donatello, he's… he's been there for me. Even when I didn't want him around, he would follow me to protect me and… oh I don't' know…" April threw up her hands

"it sounds to me like you like Donnie more than Casey."

"I know it does but it's just weird. He's a turtle. It's kind of like having a crush on someone who's shorter than you. It weird because the guy is shorter than you but you still like him anyway."

"I guess so. Ok, now for my secret. You're right I like him but just a little. A very small crush. And it's probably because he's my first friend. You know this… this is nice." Kate said "I've never been able to tell someone all of these things even though it's kind of weird."

"Yeah, it is." was all April said, but there was a lot behind those three words

That's it for Chapter 2. Thank you so much for reading! I did a bit more research and I know the whole "crush" thing was weird but that's how it for most people I think… anyway I know this entire chapter was from Kate's point-of-view but I couldn't help it. I'm a girl—she's a girl. Writing from a boy's point-of-view is a bit hard since I'm still new at this. Also, thanks again for reading and please review!

Till later,
