Chapter 4: Late evening
Evie sighed tiredly as she exited the old building at 10 o'clock at night, shifting the heavy strap of her large black folder on her shoulder and walking quickly away from the college. The streets were dark except for the lamps yellow glow, the sky above was a blank black brooding with heavy clouds, the back streets the short teen took were mostly empty of people, and those that were around were employees of local fast food restaurants taking a smoke.
Taking out her phone, the teen looked for a companion to talk to. "Wonder if Leo's free…" She mussed, deciding to take a shot in the dark and send a text.
Hey :)
After a minute of waiting Evie game up on her new friend and decided to try another American she knew.
Hey Katie, how are ya girl?
Across the Atlantic Ocean, Leonardo Hamato was in his own training session, his brothers dotted around the lair doing their own thing while their father was in deep meditation. 5 o'clock and too early for dinner, the young humanoid turtle was working up an appetite as he leapt high to kick imaginable enemies, drawing his katana fast to slice the air, landing perfectly in a low defence position. Panting lightly, the forest green being stood straight when he felt his shell cell vibrating. Taking it out the id identified the sender as Evie. With a small smile, he sat down against the wall for a break and texted back.
Hi
Wuu2?
Training, u?
Haha ur getting the hang of things now :D im walkin to work
Leo frowned and checked the time on his phone.
It's 10 England
Yeah I know
And you're walking in the streets on your own?
Evelyn read the message and smirked, shaking her head but before she could send a reply, her phone beeped again.
I'm alright Eve u?
Yeah nb wuu2?
Talkin to u duuuh!
Oh haha listen to the funny New Yorker XP
Rolling her eyes as she sent the text to her friend, Evie turned her attention back to Leo who had already sent another text.
Evie?
Ur turning formal again Leo :P yeah I'm ok, I make this run pretty much every night nothings ever happened the streets I use are usually very quiet
Leonardo's frown deepened.
It's not safe anything could happen
Are u always this over protective? XP look i'll keep messaging you until i get to work and I'll be honest if I think somethings wrong…sound gd?
What's gd?
Short for good
The forest green skinned turtle sighed and hung his head slightly.
I guess I've got no choice but to agree…aren't you afraid though?
U know, u don't have to put the ' i know what u mean and u dont always need to make ur I's capital…and what is there to be afraid of?
How about being kidnapped? Or attacked or raped?
0.o seriously do u always think like that? Look i know basic self-defence and know to keep my head down, and I don't see the point in being afraid of something that might never happen
I live in New York I have to be weary of that possibility
Why so you can save some damsel in distress? :P
If needs be yes
O.O wow seriously? I thought guys only did stuff like that in the movies
You wouldn't help someone in need if you saw them?
Of course but Id be smart enough to call the police first! 0.o
I get the O.O is a surprised face but what about the other one?
It's a surprised/shocked/weirded out/OMG kind of face
Oh…
Evie smirked, as an idea for teasing came to mind.
Yeah u really shocked me and im very OMG right now haha :P have you ever been kissed for saving a girl? ;)
No, usually they run away while me and my brothers deal with the threat
Well that's gratitude for u
Leo laughed to himself at that, the unexplainable worry before being forgotten. It's natural to worry for a new friend when theres a risk of her getting hurt, Leonardo reasoned.
Haha that's what Raph and Mikey say
Ur brothers?
Yeah
Cool :D so theres Raph, Mikey…
And Donny
Awesome :) the closest thing I have to siblings are my roommate and best friend, Frankie, then my two close friends 1 in America, new York, and another in Italy
Ur roommate is a guy?
Evie burst out into loud laughter as she read the text, ignoring the odd looks from the few people on the street. I better not tell Fran he said that.
Haha no! XD no that's the nick name I gave her cause her name is Francesca, I also call her Fran
Oh I see :)
Yeah she's awesome ^-^
And that face?
It's the cute happy face, girls use it when their either pleasantly happy or really happy
Oh
Yep ^-^
Are you at work yet?
Ur so uptight! Relax im fine theres like two people on this street and their on the other side not even looking at me! And yeah a few more minutes
Good
The blue bandana wearing turtle sighed, resting his relaxed arm on his raised knee.
Haha I appreciate the concern but ur seriously worrying over nothing…I get the feelin that's part of ur nature…
The eldest turtle paused as he thought over his answer. Honestly had worked so far, and it was just so easy to talk to the teenage girl it seemed almost natural.
I'm always on alert, have to be to look after my family
Evie's pace faltered as she took that in. There was more to that comment than Leo was letting on, she could feel it, but she didn't sense any danger dark undertone. And it was a sign he was telling her the truth, something that made her smile.
That has to get tiring, a big burden like that to carry :(
Someone has to carry it and I'm the best for the job
Well I think that's great of u :)
So does Fran look out for u?
Yeah, she teases me a lot cause shes the responsible, mature one
Leo raised an eye ridge in curiosity.
And what are u?
Evie grinned to herself.
The fun loving hyper chick whos just a big kid at heart ^-^
Haha that sounds kinda like Mikey, he's our youngest
And I'm younger than Fran :D I'll have to talk to him sometime sounds like we have stuff in common :P
Leonardo froze. This was what he had to avoid , her becoming curious about his family and asking too many questions. The ninja in him told him to play it cool, knowing that it was too late to turn back and there was an easy way out of this.
U do, believe me, though I recommend u don't, Donny and me have the most patience and even we lose it with that chuckle head, besides aren't I good enough company :P
Haha I usually annoy Fran, her getting mad is really funny :D and what are u afraid? that he'll steal me away? ;) haha ur great company Leo, a real nice guy to talk too ^-^
Rounding a corner, anyone who saw Evie at that moment and knew her would have said someone had just given her a strawberry lolly and called her a cute kid. She was smiling goofily with a faint pink on her cheeks. Evie herself was a little flustered, her heart was beating faster. The young woman rarely ever flirted but she realised that was what they were both doing, and with Leo it was fun.
That goof ball? No I'm worried he'll scare u away…and thank you, that's the first time anyones said that to me
Haha I'm not so easily scared….ok that was a lie I hate zombies and murderous ghosts… and really? Well now someone has ^-^
Haha seriously? Zombies and ghosts?
What? Their creepy!
Sure
There are! XP
They're not even real
-_-' Says the guy using formal language in texts and doesn't know faces XP
Whats -_-'?
My point proven :P haha it's a sweat drop like in manga's and anime
U read and watch that stuff
Love it ^-^
Seriously?
Hey I said I was a big kid don't judge me XP what about u? fear? Weird like?
Leo leaned back into the wall, his head resting back as he looked up at the ceiling. Honestly was working so he knew he should stick with that…but it's always hard admitting to something u deeply fear, even to a new friend.
Hmm…I used to be afraid of heights when I was a kid but I've gotten over that, now my biggest fear is not being good enough to protect my family…. And my weird like? Err….does broccoli on pizza count?
WHAT?! You ruin a delicious meal like pizza with broccoli?! I don't even eat that devil stuff separate let alone on my second favourite meal! NOOOOOOOO!
Haha Mikey has a similar reaction to that
CAUSE HES RIGHT!
It tastes good
Broccoli is spurn of the devil! Be gone Satan!
Haha then what do you have on yours?
B-P easy, peperoni, ham, mushroom, spicy meat, and salami a real meat feast
Uv gone from being Mikeys double to sharing a pizza with Raph of all people and in only three seconds, very impressive Evie :P and whats the B-P
Big eyes and licking lips face, it's the hungry-yummy-look ^-^ Haha cool! XD oh and I'm at work u can relax now superman :P
Good, so ur performing?
Hey you got a good memory :D I don't know depends if Fran couldn't find an act, if she has then im waitressing instead
Oh so it's a restaurant?
No not exactly, it's an old wine bar made from a wine cellar, pretty cool place :)
Sounds classy, so what do u do when u have to perform?
Play piano and sing a little, im no singer but playing the grand piano is something my foster mother got me into when I was little, I'll tell u more about it after work if u want :)
Sure I'd like that :)
So shall we say about 12-1 for u?
