I hate this school. I made nothing but enemy's all day. Even a bunch of punks chased me when school ended. I ran into this store to hide from them. When they left I decided to look around because I notice it was an antique store. I was looking for some Japanese and Irish antiques. Some lady with red hair and a guy with long black hair where moving stuff. The dude tripped and jars fell out of the box. I ran and quickly catch them before they shatter. She thanked me and yelled at the dude. I asked her about what I was looking for. She said she would be right back. I heard something from the basement and the dude went to go check it out. I waited there for a while and I was about to leave when something was kicked at my way. I hit the deck before I was thrown into the wall with the dude. I got up and looked at the dude. Some guy in a ninja out fit with this weird logo on him. Then more of them showed up. Bad day, bad day I'll say. I pulled out my pocket knife from my bag. I turn to the mass of ninja dudes. I looked at them and at my small blade. I look to see swords up on a rack. I ran and grabbed one of them. I put my small blade away and unsheathe the sword. I point it to the ninjas. My right arm began to twitch but I had to ignore it to protect myself. They attacked me but I was able to hold them off. Then I saw a mix of green and orange. All those ninjas were whipped out cold.

"Hey dudette was kicking?" Mikey asked
"Just came to get some stuff. Didn't expect ninjas to appear." I answered.
"Yeah. What's with the twitching arm?" Mikey said looking at my arm.
"Just something that happened in the past." I answered.

I put away the sword. The girl with red hair came back. See apologize for some of the ninjas. She gave me what I needed and I payed for it. I learned that her name was April and the dude was Casey. I went back home. Left alone just great. I went to my room with the stuff I just brought. I picked up the sword with my right arm. It twitched as I held it. I had to get over the fact that it was all in the past. I put the sword down and lay on my floor. I closed my eyes remembering the past at least what had happen.

'It was at class field tripped to the history museum. I was with a bunch of boys that were in my group. One of them I hated the most. Billy Hendor. We were looking at the weapons of ancient Japan. I was with Marcci. He went where Billy was which was a bad idea. I had notice that they where bullying Marcci. So I went over to see if I could help. It was Billy pushing Marcci around. I told Billy to stop but that didn't work. I protected Marcci from what Billy was about to do. He had grabbed a sword and swung it around us. I was the only one hurt. Billy cut my arm from the top of my shoulder to my armpit. I knew I was going to get stitches but when I was taking to the hospital they told me that my nerves where damage and that certain objects will make my arm twitch a lot. I was released the next day. I learn Billy got expelled from our school. Marcci was nice and helped me out a lot. He said that he owes his life to me. But I said just friends helping out friends. So my dad had asked his work to move him to New York City. This I hated the most, but I told Marcci that I'm leaving and going to NYC. So they threw me a big party and stuff. Got lots of e-mail and phone numbers. I learn to cover my scar with makeup till I thought it was ok to stop using it. It is only a couple of months old but it still looks like hell. Thanks Billy.'

I look at my clock 7:29 pm. No one was back, just great. I order some pizza for me. I hoped into the shower real quick and I was in my pj's when the pizza came. I was munching on slice when there was a knock on my window. I walk to it and I saw four guys. I open my window and went back to the TV and turned it off. I grabbed another slice.

"So what do I owe the honor of you guys being here?" I asked stuffing the pizza in my mouth.
"I thought you would be with your family." Donny said.
"Nope it has just been me and this pizza." I said.
"Nice scar. Where did you get that one?" Raph asked.
"I. Uh. I." I stuttered.

I dropped my pizza slice and covered up my scar. I forgot to put stuff on it to cover it up. The guys looked at me and I knew that I had to tell them.

"Well it was last school I got it. Thanks to Billy. He was bullying a friend and all I stepped in the way. He had a sword that was on display and he swung it around. He had hurt my arm not just stitches but he got my nerves to. So certain objects make my arm twitch." I said picking up the pizza I dropped and throwing it away.
"That would explain what was happening to your arm today." Mikey said.
"Also why you would drop a sword quickly." Leo added.
"I'm not weak it's my nerves. I was trained in 3 different martial arts." I said grabbing another slice.
"May I?" Donny asked.
"Go ahead." I said hold my arm out.

Donny was messing with my arm. Raph asked me how I could take 3 different martial arts classes plus ballet. I told him I had a lot of spare time. Not to mention that I also got all A+ on my work in school. Raph said I was mental, but I told him if you set your mind to it, anything can be done. Donny asked Leo to give me one of his swords. I held it with my right arm. It began to twitch like crazy. I got very worried and quickly switched hands. They looked at me then whisper some stuff. I went to my room and grabbed my daggers from my bed. I was fixing them. They turn to me. I told them if I was going anywhere it will be on a weekend. They said that's fine and they left. I went to get another slice of pizza but they were all gone. I ran to the window.

"MICHELANGELO! YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR EATING MY PIZZA!" I yelled out.

I closed the window and went to bed.

This week couldn't go by any faster. It felt like it was on slow mode all week. But today is Friday and I did show those punks not to pick on me. I walked home. It was getting more chiller so I needed to pull out some thicker jackets. I got home and again home alone. I went to my room and flopped on my bed. I was listening to the rain slowly drop from the sky. I heard the rain plop on something else than the roof. I got up from my bed and pulled out my pocket knife from my bag. I listen to the silent footsteps in the rain. I went to my window and I saw nothing. I went to the living room window. I thought I saw something but it wasn't there. The power went out so I grabbed a flashlight and went to the other windows. Nothing but I still feel like someone is watching me and I didn't like it. I sat down with the flashlight and my small blade near me as I meditate. I heard the rain falling on someone but I couldn't make it out. I kept still then they were gone but my window was open. I could smell the rain and feel the cold air. I still stayed where I was but I turn off my flashlight. I listen to the sounds of their feet and the ground. Barefooted, 4 pair of feet I guessed. I got up and silently walked up behind them.

"BOOO!" I screamed.
"AHHH!" Mikey went.
I laughed at the fact I scared them. I turn my flashlight on.
"What's up?" I asked.
"The sky." Raph said sacristy.
"Oh I know that. I also heard you guys on my roof." I said with a smile.
"But how?" Leo asked.
"Listen to nature. If you were to listen to the drops of the rain then you can hear someone coming because the rain is falling on something else." I explained.
"Oh." 3 of the 4 said.
"Can you teach me to do that?" Mikey asked.
"No. Even I had to learn this on my own and so will you." I said.
"Well we have come to kidnap you to our home." Donny said.
"Give me a sec." I said.

I wrote my dad a note telling him I will be out. I left with the turtles. I had to be blindfolded so some odd reason. So I held Leo's hand till we got there. I still had my pocket knife on me. Then my blindfold was removed. Leo took me to master splinter to talk. I told Master Splinter that I was raised to honor ones secret and I keep it honorable. I left with Leo knowing that Splinter trusted me. I saw Raph with coins and cards I went over to them. It was that one dude from the store, Casey I do believe.

"Can I play?" I asked.
"Sure we are playing Black Jack." Raph said.
"My favorite card game." I said following him.

We played till it was 8:45 pm. And it was all or nothing round. I was beating them. I won the last round with my cards adding up to 21. The looks on their faces was priceless. For some reason everyone came to watch us. Raph looked pissed and Casey looked…I really didn't understand what his eyes said. I only smiled then Raph tackled me. If it weren't for my brothers rough housing and sometimes getting me involved I would have been under Raph's grip but I was on top with one foot on his shell.

"Sorry, but I don't do pile ons." I said with a smirk.
"Grrrrr." Raph said getting up.
"Grrrr back at you." I said smiling.
"Hey Cynthia!" Mikey called.
"Hay for horses save your money." I called back.
"Wanna play DDR?" He asked.
"You bet. I love DDR." I said with a huge grin.

So I played DDR with Mikey and all the time I won. It was amazing that a turtle dude who plays the same amount of vid games as me and with him being not being pulled away by others and I still bet him. I was on a role today. I not showed up Raph but Mikey too. It was so funny. Next was Don. He was fixing some of the bikes and other wheels that they use. Some reason he couldn't fix a bicycle. I fixed it and the skates and skateboards and a scooter. I had gress all over my hands but I didn't care. I love fixing stuff or at least making stuff. Don asked me to fix their car. I popped open the hood and gave a look. I took off my twilight hoodie and I pulled up my hair in a messy ponytail. I hopped up to get a clear view. I walked over to the tools and pulled them over to the car. Nothing was wrong on the top side but the bottom was a mess. I pulled out the tools I needed and I went under the car. I fixed it up and came out with gress all over me. I saw looks of shock.

"What?" I asked.
"You are like..."Mikey said.
"Like what?" I asked again.
"Us combined." Donny said.
"But can she bet or keep up with Leo." Raph said.

So we decided to spar. I was given a wooden sword and Leo had two. We went at it. It was fun and all. But I thought I show them what I am made of. I flipped over Leo and attacked him. It was a thrilling sparing match. But I ended it by putting Leo on his shell with the wooden sword at his throat. They all were amazed at this. I cleaned up and we all and some more fun. But it was time to leave so they all dropped me at my house. I thanked them for the great time. Leo was last to leave. He said something about another time. I said sure and gave him a kiss on the check and said goodnight. I lay in my bed thinking that my heart just skipped a beat when I just kissed him. Many thoughts came to play but I just fell asleep thinking of the possibilities.

I had no idea that I was thinking of them again. My brothers were getting annoying very fast. But at least Halloween was coming up. I love dressing up and getting free candy. I love Halloween. My brothers were going to a party with my dad. How normal of them. But at least I don't have to go. I needed to put together a costume that would blow other ideas out of the water. Then the idea popped into my head. I began to draw out my costume. So as the weeks count down to the day of Halloween I was getting myself ready. I had the face paint and body paint. I had the costume all ready because I sewed it by myself. It felt like days before Halloween came. Halloween was on a Saturday and I had school on Friday. But I wasn't going to wear my special costume to school. I did a neko samurai warier combo. All I had to do was get over school and the Halloween fun was to begin. I waited for the school bell to ring. Once it did, I ran like hell. I got home there was another note. At least I didn't have to worry about my brothers and dad. I pulled out all my stuff for the costume. Next thing I knew I heard 4 voices in my living room. I walked out not noticing that I had part of my costume in my hand. I saw 4 turtle dudes. I sighed.

"What's up guys?" I asked with a needle in my mouth.
"We were wondering about tomorrow." Mikey started.
"Yeah what about it?" I asked finishing the stitch.
"Would you like to go trick-or-treating with us?" Mikey asked with a smile.
"Sure. I love to. Halloween is my fav holiday right next to Christmas." I said with a smile.

So they would meet up at my house. Then we shall go trick-or-treating. I couldn't wait for tomorrow. I woke up really and took a quick shower and I put my hair up. I was putting on my face paint when they came in. They were each wearing a costume. I had on a tank top and shorts because I had to put green paint on.

"So what are you?" Mikey asked.
"Not telling." I said putting paint on my arms.
"What is with all the green paint?" Raph asked.
"You'll see." I said walking back to my room. "Don't enter."

I quickly put my costume on. I became a ninja turtle. I had foamed weapons with my crazy costume. I put on my sandals and stepped out of my room. The mask was going on last. When I came out all jaws dropped.

"Wow." All 4 said.
"You like?" I asked.
"Like? You look freaking amazing!" Mikey shouted.
"Yeah you guys gave me the idea for my costume." I said trying to put my mask on.
"Would you like some help?" Leo asked.
"Yes please." I answered.

Leo helped me put my mask on. I went to get me a pillow case but then my brothers came in with my dad. I was shocked. I quickly ran to the guys.

"You guys are in costumes. Ok cause my fam is here." I said quickly.
"K." All 4 said.

My fam walked in.

"So Cynthia are these your friends?" Edward asked.
"Yeah. And your problem is?" I said being sarcastic.
"It is that…Dark." Marked said popping up.
"They are all guys." Dark finished.
"You 3 are very rude to your sister." Dad said walking in.
"Dad I thought you were going to a party." I said giving him a hug.
"We are but we forgot the invites to get in." Dad said hugging back.
"So what are your guy's names?" Edward said leaning against the wall.
"Edward that's Leo, Raph, Donny, and Mikey. Cool your jets." I said to help out the guys.
"Hmm I don't like them." Edward said staring at them.
"Well I think you're just a worry-wart. I can see that through your eyes, Edward." I said getting ticked.
"Edward." My dad said firmly.
"But." Edward started.
"No buts. Cynthia you are going to miss the free candy." Dad said.
"Right, bye. Come on guys." I called.

We began with our collection of free candy. It was getting to be a competition with me and Mikey. But I won with my bag being the heaviest. We took our sweet time going back to my house. We talked about my family.

"Your brother Edward is over protective." Mikey said.
"Tell me about it. If I ever made any guy friends he thinks I'm going to end up in bed with them." I said shaking my head.
"Sounds you hate that part of him." Donny said.
"Ever since my mom died that's all he has ever done." I said sighing.
"Sorry about your mom." Don said.
"It's ok. I kindda remember her, but never what happen to her." I said.
"So your brother is always a jerk?" Raph asked.
"Yes!" I said sighing to.
"What would happen if your dad would meet ours?" Mikey asked.
"Freak out, pass out, or think it's a dream." I said.

We walked up to my house. I put my candy in my room. Something crashed and I ran out to see what happen. These weird ninjas were battling the guys. One of them though I was a ninja turtle. I ran back to my room and pulled out my new sword and grabbed my daggers. I got them out of my room but they were tearing up the place. I told the guys to get them out. I took the stairs up to the roof were they were. I watched as they battle them. I kept back trying not to get in that fight but Leo wasn't paying attention and the other ninja was up behind him. I called to him but it was a sec too late. I ran over to Leo. He was ok, just the wind was knocked out of him. I helped him up, just to push him out of the way. I used my sword to block the attack and knocked him out. Then they just vanished. We cleaned up and I took a fast shower to get the paint off my body. I came out in my pj's finishing putting on my cover up on my scar. I looked at them batter and bruised. They told me that those ninjas were called the foot. They left but Leo. He came to me.

Kiss my check. "Thanks for the save." Then he left.

I put my hand where he kissed me. I began to blush. There is no way I could be on cloud 9. No not yet but I know it would be rename cloud turtle if I do go. I hit the sack for it was going to be another long day tomorrow.
