A/N: Thanks to everyone that reviewed, wasn't sure anyone would like this!
Sorry if I write them OOC, I'm working on trying to keep them in character, but it's harder that it looks! I'm not happy with this chapter, it's kind of a filler, so sorry about that too. Unless I'm being too critical J
Disclaimer: I do not own TMNT (Forgot to put this in the last chapter...oops)
"Are we gonna get timetables or something?" asked Donnie as he unzipped his suitcase. The room he and Leo had chosen was small, with the walls being a boring beige colour and the floor a dark brown carpet. There was a wooden chest of drawers, a bunk bed and an en suit which could only just fit the shower, sink and toilet inside.
"I'm not sure," replied Leo truthfully. "But I think classes start tomorrow."
"I guess that's when we'll get them," sighed Donnie, pulling out a purple shirt and shaking it to get rid of the creases.
"Hey, don't worry. We haven't been here for long and this place could be fun. Try to be a little optimistic."
Donnie snorted, "Like Mikey?"
Leo grinned but didn't answer as he went back to neatly folding his clothes.
"No, wait!" a female voice from outside could be heard and Leo and Donnie turned to the door.
"What was that?" asked Donnie.
"Maybe she needs help," said Leo, running to the door. He opened it and looked both ways down the long corridor, but there was no one there. A second later, the door opposite opened and Raph stuck his head out, closely followed by Mikey.
"You guys hear that too?" Raph asked.
"Yeah," said Leo in confusion. "She must've gone into one of the rooms."
"Yeah, you're probably right."
"So there are other people here!" said Mikey, grinning.
"Of course there are, bonehead!" said Raph. "Mr. Creepy said so, didn't he?"
"Yeah, but we haven't seen anyone,"
"Just...finish unpacking. We'll see you guys later." said Leo, closing the door.
"Hey," said Mikey as he and Raph re-entered the room. "Who opened the window?" the window was now wide open, the hatch slightly ajar.
"You probably did," said Raph absently, throwing clothes from his suitcase into one of the drawers. Their room was the mirror image of Leo and Donnie's, although somehow it was already messy with the clothes which had missed the drawer scattering the floor.
"No," replied Mikey with a huff. "I didn't. It's the middle of winter, dude, why would I do that?"
"Sheesh, calm down would you?" said Raph, throwing a now empty suitcase under the bunk bed. "It might have been the wind.
"Yeah, because everyone knows the wind can open the hatch of a window from the outside." said Mikey sarcastically.
"Can it, Mikey. You heard what Donnie said; the wind closed the door downstairs, so it must've opened the window. Stop being such a drama queen."
"But the hatch – "
"Shut it, Mikey!"
Mikey sighed and flopped on the bed, sending his half empty suitcase clattering to the floor.
"Mikey!"
"Dude," said Mikey. "Why did Mum and Dad send us here?"
Raph's eyes softened slightly and his frown deepened. "I dunno, Mike."
"Huh." Mikey, deciding the conversation was now over, jumped back off of the bed and grabbed the clothes which had fallen out of the upturned suitcase, throwing them into one of the drawers. He turned to walk back to the bed, but froze as he saw his suitcase was nowhere in sight. "Dude," said Mikey, "Where'd you put it?"
"Put what?" asked Raph, sitting on the floor with his back resting against the bed.
"My case!" Mikey pointed to the empty space in which his upturned suitcase should have been.
"I didn't move it." stated Raph, shrugging. "You saw; I've been here the whole time. Besides," he added, pointing behind Mikey. "It's over there."
"How'd it get there?" asked Mikey, staring in disbelief at the black suitcase, now balanced carefully on one wheel against the wall.
"I dunno!" said Raph, throwing his arms up in annoyance. "Maybe you moved did it."
"Dude, I'm not stupid!"
"That's debateable."
"Raph!" Mikey whined.
"Mikey, I get it. You're creeped out by this place, but you have to stop jumping at every little thing!"
"What?!"
"Look at it from a reasonable point of view; if I didn't do it, and you didn't do it, then who did?"
"I..." Mikey frowned and slid his back down the wall so he was seated on the floor next to his case. "I just have this weird feeling."
"Dude," said Mikey, looking around the huge hall. When they were on their way to assembly, the curly haired boy had been seemingly unable to stop staring at every person they passed. "There's way more people here than I thought there would be!"
"Yes, Mikey." replied Raph sarcastically. "Because in a huge mansion like this, there's bound to be less than a hundred students." Mikey pouted as he took his seat next to his brunette brother. Donnie and Leo had taken seats on the other side of the hall, so the four brothers were split up.
"Welcome, students, to Kingsland High." A middle aged woman wearing a smart, tweed suit with her brown hair tied up in a neat, tight bun addressed the students of the boarding school. They were all gathered in the hall, with the teachers of the school on stage, seated to face the students.
The woman talking was standing at a podium with a microphone, and the students were sitting in their chairs, staring silently at the intimidating woman. "I am Ms. Jefferys, the deputy head here. You were given your timetables this morning, so I trust that you will all go straight to your lessons from this assembly."
"She's scary," whispered Mikey to Raph, who nodded from his seat beside him.
"You!" Ms. Jefferys pointed a bony finger at Mikey, and the young boy gulped. "Never speak while a member of staff is talking. Do you understand?"
Mikey nodded meekly as all eyes in the hall turned to him, and tried not to sigh out loud in relief as the terrifying woman returned her attention back to the rest of the hall. How did she notice me? Wondered Mikey. He was somewhat near the back, and he had been careful to choose a time when Ms. Jefferys wasn't facing him.
Raph nudged his brother's arm and Mikey nudged it back, too terrified to chance a look at his brother, although he would bet all of his pocket money that he was smirking.
"Mikey, what did you do?" asked Leo with a laugh. They were on their way to their first lesson, although only Raph and Donnie had one together, being in the same year.
"How'd you know it was me?" asked Mikey.
"You're the only one dumb enough to talk," replied Raph, and Mikey shoved him playfully.
"Michelangelo," Ms. Jefferys appeared from behind the freckled boy. "No shoving in the corridor."
"Dude," said Leo with a laugh as the deputy head walked away. "She already knows your name!"
"I dunno how," muttered Mikey, "but when she looks at you, it feels like she's staring right into your soul!"
"Yeah, well. Good luck with that," said Donnie.
"What?" asked Mikey in confusion.
Donnie nodded to a room with a chuckle. "That's your English room, isn't it?"
"Yeah..." said Mikey, and paled as he watched Ms. Jefferys enter. "Oh, come on!"
