Love Is The Greatest Feeling Of All

Chapter 2: Friends In Need

I ran the streets towards my school. I'm going on my last year of junior high and I'll start high school next fall. I'm not sure if I'm waiting towards high school, but my brothers, especially Donny, are telling me high school will be great. But I'd still wish they could come with me.

School and ninja stuff really don't mix. Homework takes time, which I'd rather use on practising on ninjitsu, patrolling around the city and fighting Purple Dragons and The Foot. I mean, someone has to protect the innocent citizens, and my brothers could use help. Sure, they can manage by themselves, but I could still help. Besides, it's not fair that they can fight the bad guys and I have to go to school. But I don't wanna stand against them. If me going to school makes them happy, so be it.

I manage to enter the school yard before the bell rings. I hurry down to my class. I just hope that Mrs. Walker, my biology teacher, hasn't arrived yet. I really don't need any extra homework or detention as punishment.

Fortunately, I arrived in time. Teacher hasn't come yet and the class is…well, chaos. Everyone's shouting, sitting on their desks or leaning on their chairs.

"Bella!" I hear the familiar voice.

My friends are already sitting on their places. Well, Wendy's the only one sitting properly. Miyako's leaning on her chair with her legs on her desk like boys does and Jessica's sitting on her desk.

We four have been best friends ever since I started junior high.

Miyako is my best friend of all. She's originally from Japan, she moved here in New York when she was four years old. We met each other already on first grade, and we've been friends ever since. She's usually calm, but when she gets mad, it's hell on the loose. She could kick someone's butt to other side of the city if she'd want to. She's pretty much a mix of goth and punk, usually wearing black and red. She's the tallest one of us. Even though she's silent and dangerous when angered, she's really protective of us.

Jessica is the funny one of us. She's always cracking jokes and making us doing something fun, which can sometimes lead into trouble. Especially if she decides to prank on Miyako. They fight sometimes, but they're still friends. She's like the little sister to us and she sometimes she can be pretty immature. But even though her childish nature, she's very into fashion. She loves shopping and her clothes are always "in". Her blond hair is pretty much always on two pigtails. She also likes video games and comics, especially manga.

Wendy is the angel of the group. She's very shy and caring and real sweetheart. And she's also a nerd. She loves studying and school. She's a member of our school's science club. I bet she and Donny would have lot's of conversation about science. Her brown hair is very short and she uses reading classes.

"What took you so long?" Miyako asks as I sat on my seat.

"Sorry, I lost the track of time." I pulled my biology book from my bag.

"Hey, have you heard the latest rumor? Did you know that…" Jessica's always gossiping. She practically knows everything what's going on. Who's with who, and who's doing what. She couldn't finish the gossip, 'cause Mrs. Walker just came in.

"Okay class, silence! And good morning. Today we'll continue with…"

Man, so boring! I don't hate biology, but it's not my favourite subject either. I like literature the most, 'cause I love reading and books. Leo has a lot of books and we like to read them together. We have this some sort of "book club" of two members.

Miyako likes music the most, she plays guitar. Otherwise she dislikes school, even though she gets pretty good grades. Jessica likes art, she's very good at drawing. She wants to became a mangaka one day. Wendy likes math, physics and everything to do with science. She's the only one actually likes school.

After a very long class, the bell finally rings for recess. We move to the school yard for fresh air. It's spring time, some the weather is pretty warm already. We find a nice place and sat on the soft grass.

"So, is everyone coming to mall today? I really wanna go shopping today!" Jessica asks enthusiastically. Sometimes I don't get where she gets all that energy.

"I don't mind." I could go to the book store and see if there's some new ones.

"Sure." Miyako says simply. She usually just floats along with us.

"Sounds nice." Wendy adds, not looking up from her book.

"It's settled then! Let's go right after school!" Jessica shouts.

"I need to call my family first, so they don't get worried." I haven't told them about family. Well, how could I? Hey guys, guess what? My brothers are giant turtles and my father's a rat! Yeah right, that wouldn't sound insane at all.

My brothers and I made up a short story to tell if anyone asked about my family. I told my friends that I'm adopted and my brothers are studying all day long and my father's really busy. Well, it's partly true and the best we came up with. And it seemed to work. Even though girls have asked if they could meet my family. I had to lie that they're too busy. And I have lied that our house is being remodelled so no one can come to our place. Well, I couldn't actually take them to sewers anyway.

Sometimes I feel bad about lying to my friends. I feel like I'm betraying them or something. But I have to, for my family's sake. I told my brothers about this, and they said they're sorry for me but that's the only choice.

The bell rang and we head for another class. The school day is soon over and we're heading for the mall.

Even thought I'm not going to buy anything, I love hanging out with my friends. We're having fun every time we go out. Just like now. We go to all kind's of stores that everyone likes. It's 8.45 already when we're leaving.

It dark already. The streets are pretty empty. I can't help but feel uneasy as we pass the alleys. You can never know if you'll run into Purple Dragons. And unfortunately, we did.

We were surrounded by at least ten of them. I know I could take them on, but I wasn't sure about my friends. Miyako might do pretty okay, but Wendy and Jessica would be totally helpless. I could see the fright in their eyes.

"Well, aren't you girls pretty. We could give you some company." the leader said, trying to sound smooth. I recognized him, I've seen him before when I've been fighting them with my brothers. Luckily he didn't recognize me without my kunoichi suit.

"Piss off." Miyako snarled. She sure wasn't scared by them. I wasn't sure if it was good or not.

"That's pretty rude. Boys, I think we should teach them a lesson." the leader grinned.

The other Dragons grinned too, and took out their weapons. Pipes, chains, knives, anything to bring damage. This was getting bad, if I only had my sais and shurigens with me. And my brothers.

The leader shouted a battle cry as he lunged at us. But before any of us could do anything, some one jumped out of the shadows and knocked him out. Next thing I saw as four turtles standing in front of us. My brothers had come!
