I was more than late to classes today. I was so late that I only made it for the last 15 minutes of my science class. When I had walked into the classroom, I had to give this explanation on why I was late and just now turning up. So what do I do? I tell the teacher that I ended up getting jumped by a bunch of thugs and only just got out of the police station. The teacher looked at me suspiciously and just told me to take a seat.
Right when the bell rang, I was out the door so fast I could have won a metal. Not even bothering to check my locker for any of the books I needed, I just walk straight outside and started to walk home. After about a good ten minutes of walking, I saw a group of Foot ninjas at the end of the street I was on. Running, I dodged into the alleyway to avoid being seen. I stayed put for a moment when I head one of the members say, "We need to find her, and fast. Master Shredder said that he wants Kris as soon as possible. You got that?"
"Crystal clear," said another, "But what does Master Shredder want? We haven't seen Kris in almost three months?"
"No one knows," said the first, "All we know is to bring her to the Shredder and that's it."
"Man," said a third, "Your sister is in deep shit, you realize this, right?"
"I realize this," a fourth said while pulling off his mask. By doing so, I realize that it is my brother, Tony. "I just hope she realizes this before it's too late. If I were her, I'd run like hell every time she saw a Foot member since Master Shredder has everybody watching out for her. And as much as I hate to say this, I don't want her to get hurt."
It was as if he knew I was there, listening to the conversation that was going on. The thing the confused me though was how could he know? I made sure none of them saw me head into the alley. Unless he sensed that somebody was close and he assumed that it was me. Without as much as a thought, I started climbing the fire exits and made my way for Caseys' place. Man, was I grateful for Casey. If it wasn't for him, I would be in the streets, or worse. I could be with the Shredder, him doing unimaginable things. I shuddered at the thought.
Before I knew it, I was approaching the apartment complex in which Casey lived. And if on cue, I saw Casey stick his head out the window and yell, "It's about time you got home Kris. I've been worried about you!"
"Gasp," I said while walking down the steps, "Casey worried about someone other than himself? Are you feeling okay? And you are getting really good at timing, you realize that right?"
"Its a gift. And of course I'm worried about you. I mean, come on, who else in this town has the whole Foot Clan after them other than the turtles?"
"Yea, yea, yea," I said while climbing thru the window, "You would never guess who I ran into on the way here? Tony! It was like, my god."
"Uh-huh. So what was all that about?"
"Well, on my way home from school today, I saw a group of like five or six Foot members. Being myself, I headed into the nearest alleyway so I could get up the fire-escapes so I could get here via rooftop. But before I could do that, I kind of heard them talking about me. Apparently the Shredder is after me, like I didn't know, don't have to keep hearing it. Ended us seeing Tony there now that I'm thinking about it again."
Casey's eyebrows went up and said, "You went to school today? Like I asked you to?"
"Sorta," I said sheepishly, "I made the last 15 minutes of my science class today, that was about it. And before you go into your spiel of I should be going to school, not becoming a younger version of you, blah blah blah, I know I should be going to school. Its just that this morning, right when I was at the bust stop, I saw Foot Ninjas and I knew that there was no good to follow. Long story short, I fought a little, got knocked out, woke up in Raphael's arms, and talked to Splinter. But on the plus side, I got to meet his turtles."
"Uh-huh. So you didn't make it to school until it was basically over?"
"Yea. But look on the bright side, at least I made it to school. And by the way, Splinter gave me his look today that told me that I need to go to him tomorrow and have a training day with him. Don't know why, but I do. So I need you to call in an excuse me from school."
"Sure," he said, "But why does he need you on a school day? Why couldn't it be the weekend, you've missed enough school already! And its only three weeks into the semester!"
"I know, I know, but I know better than to cross Splinter. Maybe you don't, but I do. Just do it, will ya?"
Looking very disgruntled, Casey nodded his head before walking into the bathroom. Climbing off of the counter, I went over to the refrigerator and noticed that there wasn't much in it. I did the same thing to the freezer to see the exact same results.
Groaning, I slammed my head against the fridge and yelled, "Casey, whats for dinner?"
"I don't know," he yelled back, "You're the one that usually has the ideas for those kind of things!"
"Well I don't know what I want, so you choose tonight?"
"How about a large pizza," Casey said while walking into the kitchen.
"Sounds good enough for me. And be ready for some guests in about five seconds.
As if on cue, I saw two of the four turtles appear at our window. I walked over and said, "Can I help either of you?"
"Well," said Donatello, "Master Splinter told me and Mikey to follow you to make sure you got home safe. And while we're here, could we have pizza?"
"Sure, I guess you guys could."
They scrambled into the apartment and went straight for the couch. Shaking my head, I thought, 'I need to start hanging out with females again. All the testosterone I've been around is starting to make me go a little crazy.'
