Hey! I'm back. Sooner than I thought actually. Thank you to BakaClara + Fireworksinthenight for reviewing the last chapter.
This chapter leads on directly from the last one. There is no time skip at all.
This is a shorter chapter, mainly because I like how it ends, but I promise this is now officially where the action starts.
See chapter 1 for the disclaimer and let's crack on.
"Mr Addams?" As Mr Oraku started the register, April blinked and closed her mouth.
'Wow' she mouthed, to no one in particular. 'That's weird.'
She sat in silence for a few minutes trying to work out what had caused their teachers sudden moment of mercy and was, quite frankly, coming up with nothing, when she heard a crisp sharp.
"Mrs O'Neil!"
April blinked and re-joined the world again just in time to see Mr Oraku shooting her a truly epic death glare. The rest of the class was also staring at her [She got the feeling he'd asked a couple of times], so she cleared her throat and said. "Er…here?"
Mr Oraku rolled his eyes and ticked her off the register.
The rest of the lesson was fairly un-eventful to be honest. Mainly because it seemed that rather than taking Mr Oraku's generosity towards Casey at face value, the rest of the class seemed convinced he was just binding his time till he could strike again.
The black girl rolled her eyes, not really getting what all the fuss was about. He was a bloody teacher for crying out loud not an army general. None of her boys would be acting like this. Leo would be joking and throwing a spitball to the back of the class. Raph would be trying his best but ultimately failing [school really wasn't his thing, it had to be said.] Mikey would also be joking around a bit, April though. Either that or at the back of the class, head down, doodling away in a notebook and desperately hoping the teacher doesn't call on him for something. Donnie was a no-brainer. Front of the class, note-books out, textbooks out. Maybe with another book to read when he was done with the work. April burst out laughing when she thought of the look on Mr Oraku's face if Donnie was just at the front of his class just reading.
"Mrs O'Neil!" April jumped about half a mile in the air upon hearing said teachers bellow. Her blood turned to ice as she came back to earth just in time to see the look of absolute fury on his face. "Have I said something particularly amusing?" He paused, waiting for her to respond. When she didn't he carried on with. "I mean, don't misunderstand me. Maybe I've got the wrong end of the stick. Maybe there's something particularly hilarious about the finer working of photosynthesis. Is that what's happened, Mrs O'Neil?" He ended with a 'smile' that didn't reach his eyes. "Is there something particularly hilarious about the finer working of photosynthesis?"
By this point 'Mrs O'Neil' was wondering if her shallow breathing was just nerves or the beginnings of a panic attack. "N-no sir. I was just…thinking." She ended lamely.
Mr Oraku raised an eyebrow. "I see." He turned back to the white-board and, waving a marker around said. "I'll let you off this time, Mrs O'Neil. Seeing as you've yet to offend. Next time you won't be so lucky."
By this point April's skin was crawling. It was official. The teacher was freakin' nuts.
She was slightly mollified when Casey risked his life to turn round and mouth. 'Yet to offend?' at her.
April fought down a giggle and re-assumed her attention to the board. It was then she saw something that made her blood run even colder [if such a thing was possible]. There was an Oozesquito. Approximately twelve inches from Casey's head.
