Raph.

"Gross!" Mikey yells from a few stalls over. "It's alive!" I roll my eyes and keep scrubbing the floor. At least I didn't get stuck with the toilets. I happen to have good luck when it comes to pulling straws. Mikey gags and I chuckle.

"So Donnie, how do you expect to beat me up if you never practice what we are learning from Master Yoshi?" I ask looking over at Donnie who is cleaning out the sinks. He looks up.

"Oh, I do practice." he says.

"Really? Because during free time you were talking to the fence." I smirk as he fumbles with his scrub brush.

"I wasn't talking to the fence." he says defensively as he glared at me.

"Then who were you talking to?" I ask "the stick you were waving around?"

"No I was talking to a person." he says as he turns back to his work. I roll my eyes.

"And what person is that? You were sitting alone." I sit on my knees

"Someone on the other side of the fence." he says as he turns on the water. I blink from surprise.

"Who?" Leo asks from a different stall.

"Um, no one special, they just needed some help with their homework so I helped her."

"Her?" Leo asks "so it's a girl."

"I didn't say her, and it doesn't matter anyway. The only time we leave is at night time and she'll be asleep."

"You said she again." I say as I pick up my brush.

"What? No, no I didn't!" he says crossing his arms and glaring at me. "Look why do you even care?" he waves his hand in the air.

"We are brothers." Mikey pokes his head out of the stall he's cleaning "That's why. We love you Don!"

"Or maybe, Raph is jealous." Leo says

"And why would I be jealous of Donnie for getting to talk to a girl through the fence that he can't even see, about math and science." I roll my eyes. "Maybe you're the one that's jealous, Leo." it's silent for a moment and I smile. "Ah, I see, Leo is having trouble with the ladies."

"Oh shut up, were only twelve, or thirteen, what does it matter. Plus we need to focus on ninjitsu."

"Sure." I roll my eyes and shake my head.

"Whatcha doin' Raphie?" Mikey asks from right above me. His head is upside down as he dangles from his bad that is held to the roof by chains. It's the bed I wanted.

"Nothing, now go away." I say shoving his head a little to hard and he falls of his bed and onto the floor with a thud.

"Ouch." he mumbles from the floor. I bring my knees to my chest and nibble on the eraser on my pencil.

"Sorry," I roll my eyes as I put the led of my pencil to the white of the paper. "What to draw, what to draw." I say to myself.

"A-HA! You are doing something! I knew it!" Mikey proclaims as he stands up. "You my friend are drawing! What are you drawing?"

"Nothing," I glare at him. "It's just a silly drawing. Leave me alone."

"But pall it's almost time to go." he says.

"Wait what? What time is it?" Leo shoots to his feet.

"Well right now it's twenty minutes till we're supposed to be there." Mikey taps his chin as he looks at the pocket watch that hangs on the wall.

"Crap lets go." Leo says shoving his feet into his shoes. I flip my book closed and cram my feet into my shoes as well. I then climb into the vent after Mikey.

Once we're out I quickly slip my mask over my face as the others do the same. We run down the street and up to Master Yoshi's door. Leo taps lightly on his door three times.

The door opens and there stands the tall Asian man. "Hello my son's, come in." he waves us into his dojo. He kneels down back facing the small tree in the center of the dojo and we kneel around him. "For today's lesson, we will learn how to channel anger."

Leo elbows me and I roll my eyes. "Raph gets angry all the time." he says and I scowl at him.

"Then this lesson will help him the most." Sensei says "now what makes you angry." he asks looking at Mikey. Mikey looks at the floor and frowns.

"Um, when my brothers fight, that's what makes me angry." he says softly. "They fight all the time, and I try to be ok with it but, it still makes me angry." Sensei nods then looks at Donnie.

Donnie furrows his brow as he tries to think. "Well, it makes me mad when people tease me about being smart, or for talking to girls." he looks at me.

"What?" I shrug and he rolls his eyes.

"I see," Sensei says "Leonardo?" he nods to Leo

"I get angry when people don't listen to me. When they take my advice for granted because they think I'm wrong. Even if I might be, it makes me angry when they ignore me." I don't think that was aimed specifically to me, but, ouch.

"Raphael?" I look up to see Sensei looking right at me.
