April's POV
It was the day after the incident with Casey. Splinter had told us all off with the exception of Mikey and Raph who were instead praised for sticking up for there friend. I guess what we said was mean but its not really wrong anyway. I was at Roosevelt high school getting my books out of my locker for trig class. Shutting my locker and walking into class I hadn't seen Casey yet which wasn't unusual I guess but he was usually here right before the bell rang, I sat down as the lesson started. About half an hour later Casey walked into class, he looked horrible and that was putting it lightly. He was wearing a long sleeved black hoodie and jeans, his bandana was gone but his face was not one I had seen before. His cheeks were flushed and his eyes were bloodshot like he had been crying all night. He sat down mumbling something to the teacher and was given the work sheet, although he didn't even look at it he just stared into space.
After school I found him at his locker "Hey Casey, you erm coming to the lair?" I frowned when he didn't respond and poked his back, the effect was immediate he flinched jumped around to face me. "Hey Red" He grinned and I sighed and went with it "Hi, you coming to the lair?" "Sure, lets go" He walked with me down the manhole cover to the lair though he was being strangely silent, his behaviour all day had been strange. "HEEEYYY GUYS!" Yelled Mikey grinning widely, "You ready for some piiiizzaaa!" He called and the others poured in and wolfed down the pizza"Hey Casey" says Raph, Casey looks up "Hey man" Both doing there weird fist bump thing, I rolled my eyes as Splinter walked in looking worried "Are you ok Casey? You left quite suddenly yesterday" He studied Casey who tried to look away, Mikey and Raph glared at the others as yesterdays events catching up to us. "I'm...ok Splinter, I just had to go home early is all..." Raph growled "Don't lie Jones, we all know what happened"
Splinters POV
He looked pale, his eyes looked haunted. He tensed at Raphael's words "Y-You do?" Something had happened, but what? "Well duh bro, we know these guys were spitting trash about you." I felt relief coming from the boy and if worried me more and further increased my suspicion of something happening once he had left the lair. "Enough, we need to go on patrol. Same teams as last time" It seems Leonardo needs to another lesson on being a good leader and being able to help all his team. I watched them leave, not before calling Raphael "Watch over your friend my son, I have a bad feeling" Luckily that was all he needed and he left watching Casey with a protective eye. It warms my heart to see, I sat down and began to meditate awaiting there return.
Raph's POV
Casey was off, he kept looking around and keeping his hand hovering over his hockey sticks, his mask and hood were up as we walked down our assigned alley way. It was quiet which is never good there's usually some foot bots or something, a purple dragon appeared and I broke into laughter. "Y-your the disturbance? Ha, your not even worth the work out, right Case?" I than realised he wasn't laughing, his grip on his weapon was tighter and he was shaking slightly. the purple dragon laughed "So this is the big strong Casey Jones." He lunged and fought catching Casey off guard and having him against the wall where Casey froze. "Hun wanted to pass on the message, he always gets what he wants" he laughed again and disappeared and I stood there confused. I helped him up, he looked worse "you have some explain to do" Damn it why did Splinter have to always be right.
So, how was it? Stay tuned for more XXX Sparky
