"Look who's here." Said a tall boy leaning against his locker. "What was up with the no show yesterday?"
Cristen rolled her eyes and opened her locker.
"Wouldn't you like to know."
He held his hands up in defense and laughed.
"No need to be feisty this early in the morning Lopez."
She sighed and closed her locker.
"You're right. Sorry I'm just a little on edge."
"Were some dragons give you some grief? You know I'll bust them up right?"
"Yeah I know, and no they weren't but thanks." She said swinging her backpack over her shoulder. "Well unlike you I acually like to get to class on TIME soo..."
"Yeah I get it little miss honors student. Later Lopez." He said leaning back on his locker.
"Later Jones." She said ruffling his hair. Filing into the crowd she walked into AP biology to see April scribbling furiously.
"Wassup sista." Cristen said sliding into her seat.
April jumped up and her eyes widened when she saw her friend.
"What are you doing here?" She looked around and leaned in closer. "What about shredder?"
"My education is very important to me April." She said opening her textbook. After flipping to the page the teacher wrote on the board she turned to April to see her eyebrows raised. She pursed her lips and turned forward.
"Ok fine. I just can't miss that much school or they won't let me go to prom."
"That sounds more like it. But how are you going? You're a sophomore remember?"
"I'll just get Casey to take me."
"You mean the one with the missing tooth and tattoos?"
"Oh please. Like you don't stare when he stands in the parking lot with his shirt off."
Aprils blushed. "I don't know what you're talking about, but what is Raph going to say about this."
"Nothing. It's not like me and Casey are a thing. That would be like dating Leo. You know, if Leo was a high school dropout waiting to happen. I'm like his kid sister."
"Ok then, I guess I'll just be the third wheel. There's no one here that I would go with. I swear every guy at this school is a complete idiot."
"Yeah you seem to lean towards the more intelligent type."
"What do you mean?"
"Oh you know. Nick, Chase, Donnie, Andrew..."
"Wait what was that?"
"Chase? You know the foreign exchange student with the bright green eyes-"
"No I mean after that."
"Oh yeah, Donnie."
"What- what do you mean Donnie? Who said I had a thing for Donnie."
"Well looking at the blush on your face I don't think anyone had to."
That shut April up real quick. Of course her and Donnie were great friends but did she consider him more than that. April looked over at Cristen to see a smirk gracing her lips.
"Well I...but there...you know what, I'm not having this conversation with you."
"Mrs. O'neal is there a problem?" The teacher asked stopping the lesson. Cristen suddenly became very interested in the classification of bacteria and buried her face in her textbook.
"Um..no Mrs. Larson. It's all good back here." She said laughing nervously. Mrs. Larson pushed her glasses further up her nose and turned back to the board.
Cristen peeked over her book and April glared at her.
'I hate you' she mouthed. Cristen blew her a kiss and started to take notes.
"Im so bored." Said Raph. He had read all his comic books played all of thier games and hung out with spike. Plopping down onto the couch he decided he would have to suffer through daytime television to avoid death by boredom.
"Don't worry Raph school will be over soon and your sweet angel will return." Leo joked.
"At least my girlfriend doesn't try to kill me when we hang out." Raph said.
"For the last time Karai is not my girlfriend. She's just...an aquantince."
"Whatever you say chief."
Just then Raphs phone buzzed and he picked it up reading the text. After texting back he stood up and walked towards the exit.
"That was Cristen. She wants me to walk her home from school."
"Fine but come back as fast as you can. The longer you're out there the more chance the foot or the Kraang have to snatch her up."
Raph hurried up to the surface and quickly made his way a rooftop across from the school. He scanned the crowed and quickly found Aprils bright red hair ad next to it Cristen. He texted her to let her know he was there and saw her check her phone and leave April to cross the street. Smiling, Raph jumped down into the alley way and waited for her.
"Hey Raph." She said grinning at him. Raph wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her into a kiss.
"How was your day?" He asked.
"Good." She replied. "Acually I have to tell you-." A finger pressed to her lips stopped her from finishing her sentence. Raph looked behind her and then swiftly made him self scarce.
"Raph what are you-"
"Hey Lopez!" Called out a familiar voice. Turning abruptly Cristen plastered on a fake smile.
"Oh heeeeyyy Casey."
"What are you doing out here all by yourself." He asked.
"Oh nothing." She sang in a high pitched voice. "I was just about to you know, leave. So let me just-
"Ill walk you home." He said stuffing his hands in his pockets. "I've never had the privilege to see little miss rich girls crib."
Cristen felt Raphs eyes boring into her back and franticly searched for a reason to get away.
"Oh wow that would be fantastic but you see, Im staying with this friend of the family and they work for the government."
"You don't say?" He said crossing his arms.
"Yeah I know. Crazy right. But here's the thing. Noone can know where they live. It's top secret."
Casey's eyebrows rose and he shrugged. "I get it. That makes perfect sense."
Cristen let off a breath of relief.
"Yeah. I mean its totally clear now that you completly suck at acting."
Her eyes widened and she was at a loss for words. "Uhhh."
"No worries though. If you want to walk alone that bad I'll let ya."
"No Casey I didn't mean."
"Aye no worries. Get home safe alright." He said walking back to the school. After he was gone Raph came out of the shadows.
"Ok who was that guy?" He asked.
Cristen smirked and patted Raph's cheek.
"Aww are you jealous?"
Raph pouted and crossed his arms.
"No I just-" he was silenced by a kiss that left his mind blank and it took him a moment to realise that he was being led back to the lair.
