(I forgot to put this up so this \/ is from last week. OOPS!)

Hi! Sorry it's been a few days. I was stuck on this one. But, here we are.

Raph rubs his arm as he stares out the window. His claim of the far left seat in the car was a surprise to his brothers. He has always favored the right side if he ever has to sit in the back. So Mikey is giving him curious glances.

"Dude? Do you want to look at-"

"Sure," Raph answers in defeat. Mikey hands him the comic. Raph flips through the pages.

"This is only the first part. Part two is how they get home. I left that at home to create suspense!" Mikey comments, trying to cheer up his brother.

"... I like the scar," Raph notes. Mikey beams.

"I was looking at it dude, of course it looks awesome!"

"Michelangelo, inside voice," Master Yoshi states calmly.

"Yes sir." Yoshi slows the car to a stop at the red light.

"Raphael, your permit test is coming up, am I correct?"

"Uh, yeah.. Thursday," Raph says.

"Do you need help studying Raph?" Donnie asks.

Raph looks at him in tired skepticism, "Lemme guess.. You memorized traffic rules and car functions."

"I tinker with machines all the time, Raph, so the functions are a piece of cake. And the signals are easy. It's colors and shapes. Mikey could remember them."

Mikey looks at him, offended, "Hey! I'm a genius Donnie. Don't underestimate me dawg. I can blow your mind, dude!"

"Michelangelo," Yoshi reminds.

"Sorry Sensei."

"Prove it," Donnie says, crossing his arms. Mikey thinks.

"Turtle Mikey is a genius in Dimension X. Ha!"

"How does that relate?"

"It takes a genius to write a genius," Mikey, like it is obvious.

"Keep dreaming Mikey," Yoshi hears his genius son comment. Mikey climbs over Donnie to get to the door. After they are back on the road, Yoshi glances briefly at his eldest son in the passenger seat.

Leo had not spoken all morning, unless it was necessary. His face is stoic, but the wiser father knows something is wrong. "Leonardo, is something bothering you?"

Leo looks up from his crutches. "Uh, nothing that I wish to talk about, sensei," Leo answers.

"Am I correct if I say a certain young lady is involved?"

".. Yes sir."

"And can I trust that you will solve this together?" Yoshi asks.

"Hai, Father," Leo promises. Yoshi pulls up to the high school. Raph and Donnie get out. Leo uses his crutches to catch up to them. "I hate these things," he mutters.

"Don't worry Leo, this is the last day you'll have to use them. Just go easy tomorrow," Donnie advises, "so no training."

"I hate not having training either," Leo mutters lower than Donnie can hear. Raph just walks ahead to get to his class. He doesn't look at Chloe, and she doesn't bother him. He leaves his jacket on, so his scar is covered. He sits down in English and doesn't pay attention at all. He doesn't even make it look like he's listening.

This prompts the teacher to have him stay back. He puts his head to the desk and waits for everyone else to leave. Mrs. Yadall walks down to his desk and leans against the one across the aisle. "Mr. Hamato, what is going on with you today. Donnie has-"

"You aren't getting much out of me if you keep comparing me to ma brother, Ma'am," Raph interrupts. That's the first thing he's said the whole time he's been in the room. The teacher sighs and looks at the tired student. She may give him a hard time, reprimanding him mostly because his lack of enthusiasm of the class, but she cares about all her students. Even the rebel.

So she sits in a chair and turns his head to look at her. "Is that what is bothering you?"

"It's been botherin' me since you started sayin' it," Raph answers.

'So that is a no,' she decides. "Raphael, if you have a problem, you can talk-"

"I'm going to be late," Raph mutters, picking up his backpack. He walks out of the room before she can say otherwise.

Leo's class hadn't gone well either. He listened, but his notes were vague and sloppy. Chloe notices this. When it's work time, she shows him her notes to copy. "Thanks."

"What's going on with you?" She asks. He sighs and doesn't answer. "Is it something Raph did?" The surprised look in his eyes tells her it is.

"It isn't important."

"Or you just don't want to tell me."

"..It's a.. personal matter. Family stuff."

"I thought friends could tell each other anything," Chloe says defensively.

"Last time I did that, there was a fight. At your party," Leo answers. Chloe's gaze softens and Leo hands her notes back. He tries to focus on his homework.

But he doesn't get it done by the end of class, "Need me to sit by you all-"

"I think it would be best if I try to finish it on my own," Leo answers carefully. "That way.. I can test myself."

"..Is there any good news you have to share? Because it looks like the cloud over your head can't get any darker," Chloe quips. Leo shrugs.

"This is the last day I'll have crutches," he says. Chloe smiles. Leo's heart skips a beat, but then he quiets it. 'You two are friends Leo, that is it.'

"Well, see you later," Chloe gets up and helps him with the crutches before leaving to English 10. Leo crutches to the class he wasn't able to participate in, gym. He sits in the bleachers and watches everyone else stretch.

"I hear you'll be back with your class tomorrow Leo," their teacher, Mr. Samper, comments, "I'd be happy to get that leg back into shape."

"Thank you sir." Leo has been the top of his class for phy ed. With his work ethic in the dojo, it's hard not to be.

"Is something bothering you?"

"Nothing major," Leo says. Of any of the teachers, Mr. Samper is the one he doesn't want to lie to. He's at good terms with his teachers, mostly Mr. Samper. He tried not to lie, but when it came out, it was a bigger lie than saying nothing was wrong.

"Well, we're all here." The teacher goes back to his students and has them run a few laps out on the track before doing the activity for the day. Leo takes out his homework and works on it a little. But his mind goes back to Raph.

'He didn't tell me. He broke our agreement! If he had told me that he was doing that the first time, I would have been less mad. But no, he didn't tell me until he almost got our cover blown,' Leo rants. 'And, he kissed her!' He doodles on a spare sheet of paper and goes back to his homework a few times before his class comes back in to change out of their gym clothes.

Leo doesn't talk to Raph at lunch. He doesn't even look at him. Raph knows that when Leo is mad, it is hard for him to let go. Kind of like him. But it doesn't happen as often as Raph, so it's more tense when it happens with Leo. And he doesn't blow up about it. He holds it in, much unlike Raph who mouths off to anybody when he's steamed. Even Yoshi at times.

Raph knows he has to break Leo out of this, before he hurts himself. "Leo?" Leo doesn't respond. "Leo, I'm telling her tonight okay? Then I'll only talk to her as me," he promises. Leo averts his eyes to his tray, but then peaks at Raph's hand without shifting his head. That's as far as he can manage.

"..Good." Leo picks his fork up again and continues eating.

I think we can all guess what is coming up.

I don't have much to say at this point.. Hmm, I need a question..

I don't know.. what do you think each of the teacher's look like? I'm trying to include more. So far there is Mrs. Yadall (English 9), Mr. Samper (phy ed), and.. I think there is another one in a previous chapter, Geometry perhaps? I don't know. Someone surf back through the chapters and find it please!

Oh! And who is your favorite teacher in here? (Like, if you were in there class.. which teacher would you prefer?) And should I have a mean teacher in here?

That's all the questions. I have school coming up, so this is all teacher related.
