Chapter 15~Escape.

TallyPOV

We got up earlier then usual and met in the kitchen to go over the plan. I was back to my usual black sweats, black tank top, and black Chucks BUT I added a yellow sweat band on my wrist. I also put my too red hair in a braid, which I hadn't done in awhile.

"Okay, so what's the plan?" Debbie asked, munching on an apple.

"The plan, so to speak," Master Splinter said, "Is to go on the field trip." I almost choked on the water I was drinking.

"What!?" everyone shouted at the same time. Then we all started talking at once. Splinter let this go on for a second, then held up a hand to silence us.

"You did not let me finish." he said. "You will go on this field trip, but as soon as you break off in groups, which I am assuming that you will, you will disappear. Use your training my children, and come back here."

"Wait, Master Splinter. I'm not a ninja." Debbie pointed out. He nodded.

"I have already taken care of this, I have called you in sick for today." she nodded.

"Why didn't you just call us all in sick?" Mikey wondered. Leo sighed.

"Mikey, don't you think it would be suspicious if all of us just happen to call in sick on the same day?" he explained.

"Oh, I guess that makes sense." He mused.

"You shell-fer-brains." Raph muttered.

"Now, off with you." He said, gesturing to the door. Raph mumbled something about stuffing something in Biggles's nether regions. I chuckled and followed him out.

When we got to the school, two hover buses were waiting to whisk the sophomore class of on a magical adventure. Not. We piled in and I got sat next to a, ahem, no offense, super nerdy looking dude. I wanted to kick out the window and risk a tuck and roll. Just because we're escaping early doesn't mean I have to like the time we're there.

And last and certainly indeed least was Pinkie. I gave her my best glare when she looked at me. For a second there I thought I saw guilt, but it quickly turned to malice. I balled my fist and kicked the seat in front of me hard. "Dammit." I muttered

Heather's head popped up, looking concerned. "Tally you alright?" she asked.

I mumbled a yes then racked my brain for some conversation. "So, when's the song thing with you and Leo?" I asked, remembering that they had to write a song together and sing it in front of the school...or something. When I mentioned him, Heather blushed and looked in front where Leo was sitting looking aimlessly out the window.

"First thing on Friday!" She smiled.

"And how's it coming?" I asked as the city whirled around us.

"Oh, it's coming." She smiled again. I left it at that, I was trying to come up with a quick way to disappear when we got to the museum.

Speaking of the museum, we arrived there and we all piled out. We were at the Metropolitan, but..not. At least not the one most people know. Mr. S lead the way excitedly.

When we all got inside, and he separated us into groups of fifteen. A reasonable number to get out of unnoticed. I went off with my group but before we went around the corner, Leo caught my eye and nodded. I nodded back and followed the rest of the group. Of course my group leader was-WAIT! I'm going to let you guess. DING! DING! DING! One thousand points to the person reading the story! Mr. S was the leader. He led us to the 22nd century part and turned around to examine something.

I took to steps back, nonchalantly. Then another, then another, until I was against the far wall. I then slipped away, unnoticed of course.I made it down a series of hallways, forcing myself no to glance at anything. I turned the corner to where the main door was,

and ran right into a security guard.

"Where ya going kid?" He asked. I glanced around him and saw the guys leaving through the front door. Raph caught my eyes, i gestured with my eyes to keep going. He grudgingly nodded. I turned my attention back to the guard.

"I'm sorry, what?" I asked.

"I asked, where are you going." He said, crossing his arms.

"Oh. Um, home." I said honestly. It was a public place, he couldn't keep me here. It was a Monday morning, it's not like I was gonna steal something. He looked at me for a minute, thinking something over. Then he nodded.

"Alright, you be careful." he said, walking me to the door. I thanked him and bounded down the stairs where the guys were waiting.

"What happened?" Leo asked as soon as I stopped.

"He, just let me go." I shrugged."But we're probably gonna have detention tomorrow for skipping out."

"Let's get home." Leo said, leading the way.

We got home and went off to do normal things.

"Now what are we supposed to do?" Mikey asked.

"Hey man, look on the bright side." I said. "We don't have homework."

I don't really like this chapter in all honesty. But I felt it was needed.
