Raph POV
After three more boring classes, Raph walked to his last one, History, which was before lunch. As he walked into the classroom, he caught sight of a familiar ponytail. She was leaning over her desk, absorbed in a book. Raph was surprised when he felt happiness at seeing her again. He grinned and snuck around the room, and into the desk behind Isabelle. He leaned forward slowly until he was right next to her head, his chin right above her shoulder.
"Whatcha' reading?" he asked suddenly, and Isabelle squeaked in surprise, dropping her book. Turning around with a furious expression on her face, it softened when she saw who it was. Her face grew slightly annoyed, however.
"Gosh, Raph! Don't do that!" she said, hitting his arms with surprising force. Raph just grinned, and laughed. Isabelle picked her book up, annoyed.
"If you must know, I'm reading the Hunger Games." she said, showing him the cover, which had some type of gold bird perched on circle. Before Raph could ask what it was about, the teacher walked in. Isabelle smiled excitedly, and turned back around.
"Good morning class. I am Mr. Brunner, and today we will be talking about Ancient Greece. Who can tell me what the twelve major gods and goddesses are?" the teacher asked, and Isabelle's hand flew up enthusiastically. Raph heard snickers from the corner of the room, and turned to see a small group of girls, all wearing heavy makeup, whispering, and pointing at Isabelle, who ignored them all. "Yes, Miss Gold?" Isabelle straightened up.
"The twelve major gods and goddesses are Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Hermes, Athena, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Artemis, Apollo, Demeter, and Dionysus. They are the main council of Olympus, and made all major decisions for the gods." she said, smiling slightly. Mr. Brunner nodded proudly. The rest of the class went like that. Brunner would ask a question, and Isabelle's hand would shoot up. At the end of the class, Raph tapped Isabelle's shoulder.
"How do you know all that?" he asked as they stood up with their books.
"My favorite types of books are Greek Mythology. I am obsessed with it!" Isabelle said happily. Together, they both got their lunches from their lockers, and walked to the quad. Isabelle led Raph over to a small table, away from everyone. They both sat down, and began to talk.
"So I never asked you. Do you have any siblings?" Raph asked, and Isabelle shook her head.
"Nope. I'm an only child. Like I told you, my mom died when I was ten, and my dad doesn't care about me. He's a famous business man, so I have to act and look perfect, get perfect grades, be popular, and have a jock boyfriend. Those were his exact words. I guess I only fulfilled one of those requirements. He told me that once I graduate, he's not giving me any money for college, so I'm on my own there. Great dad, right?" Isabelle said, attempting a weak smile. Raph sighed.
"Right. I'm sorry that he's such a jerk." he said, and Isabelle chuckled dryly.
"He wasn't always a jerk. He was the best dad in the world before Mom died. He came to all of my tournaments, and he was so proud when my sensei told him I was the strongest in the class. Then, after Mom's death, he didn't care anymore. He told my sensei to push me even harder and he just, stopped caring." she said, and she looked down at her hands. Raph saw tears in her eyes, and thought of a way to cheer her up.
"You said you're the strongest of your class?" he asked her, and she nodded,"Well, how about a little competition?" Isabelle raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?" she asked, looking at him with slight suspicion.
"Arm wrestle." Raph said, grinning. Isabelle stared at him, then grinned back.
"Fine. What's the wager?" she asked, and Raph thought for a moment, then an idea struck him.
"I win, you give me your number." he said, and Isabelle blushed a bit.
"Alright then. If you win, I give you my number. If I win, I get yours." she responded, and Raph shrugged, and pulled his sleeves up. Isabelle put her hand on the table, and Raph gripped it, and was shocked at how small it felt.
"Alright. Ready? Set. GO!" Isabelle said, and they both began to push, laughing slightly. Raph was surprised at the strength that Isabelle possessed, and actually found himself trying hard to beat her.
Leo POV
Leo walked out onto the quad with his lunch, and met with Donnie, Mikey, and April.
"Where's Raph?" Mikey asked, looking around fearfully, like his older brother would jump out at him. They all looked around and April tapped their arms.
"There he is!" she said, pointing to a small table away from everyone. Sure enough, sitting there was their hotshot brother, with...
"A girl?" Donnie said, disbelievingly. The three brothers watched as Raph grinned at the girl, and said something, which made her blush. Then, they both pulled their sleeves up and gripped the other's hand, and began to arm wrestle, both laughing.
"Raph is arm wrestling with a girl?" Mikey said, his jaw dropping. Leo watched, shocked, as the girl pushed Raph's arm down onto the table, and thrown her arms up in victory. Raph grinned in defeat, pulled his sleeve back down, and pulled out a piece of paper, and a pen and wrote something down on the paper, then give it to the girl, who smiled at him and put the paper into her bag. Donnie looked at his brothers.
"Did Raph just get beat in arm-wrestling?" he asked, and Leo nodded.
"I think so." he said, and April rolled her eyes and led the boys over to a table to eat lunch.
So sorry for the wait! I was in Ocean City for a week.
Thanks for your reviews!
