Chapter 19

"Hi, Sapphire." Donny said.

"Let me take your coat." Leo said.

"Did you have fun in second grade?"

"No." I answered.

"What do you mean no?" Donny asked.

"No. I don't like it. I'm not going back there ever again."

"You have to!"

"No, I don't! I told you that if I didn't like it, I'm not going back ever again! And you said ok."

"That's what you ment...well, I didn't know what you were saying..."

"Too late." I went upstairs to my room.

"Nice going, Donny." Leo went into the kitchen.

Donny followed. "Did you know what she said?"

"Yes."

"Then why didn't you tell me!"

"You agreed with her! So I thought that you knew what she said and I thought you knew what you were doing."

"I'm confused..."

"You should be. How are we supposed to bring her back there tomorrow?"

"Good question..."

"I will never understand you at all, Donny." Leo left and Donny went up to my room.

"Sapphire?" Donny asked.

"What?" I answered.

"Your going back to second grade tomorrow and you will have fun!"

"No, I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"NO!"

"Just because you yell like that always gets me, doesn't mean that it's going to work this time..."

"I-said-that-I-am-not-going-back-to-school-ever-again...Got-that?" I said through grided teeth.

"Right. Whatever you say. Bye-bye!" Donny ran out of my room and into the kitchen and Leo and Mikey and Raph were all eating.

"I need some help." Donny said.

"Nope." Leo answered.

"What do you mean no?"

"I mean that you have to figure this out all on your own."

"Why?"

"Let me put it this way...it was your idea to send her to school, and it was your idea to agree with her even you had no idea what she was saying."

"Oh...well just a little help? Please?"

"NO!"
