Chapter 3 : New Friend, Old Enemy
_

"Come April, Star, you don't want to be late for school." I hear my aunt yell from the kitchen.

I really don't want to go to school today. Not after what happened. Getting out of bed a let out a groan and say to April who hasn't gotten up, "Come on April we've got school."

She sits up and I head to the bathroom to do my normal routine, like brushing my teeth, washing my face, etc. I head back into my room and get dressed. I put on the dress I made and put on a pair of leggings. I slip on my high-top converse and put a yellow head band in my hair, leaving it down.

I grab my book bag and head into the kitchen setting it on the open chair at the island. I sit down at the table and eat the plate of food she sets in front of me. When I finish eating I wait for April to get done before we grab our bags. We go to head out the front door but Aunt Dina stops us saying, "I work the late shift tonight so please be careful."

"We will, don't worry." April replies opening the door and pulling me out it and shutting it.

We head down the stairs and she says, "I was thinking after school we could go see the turtles."

"I was just about to say that." I reply with a small giggle.

We head out onto the side walk and then down town to the Roosevelt High School. When we walk in I head to my locker which is right next to Jackson's'. I hate him so much, he likes to hit on me all the time and he doesn't like to take no for an answer.

I put in my locker combination and open it. I grab my AP Math book and notebook and shut the door. "Hey sweetheart. You wanna grab a coffee after school?"

Speaking of the devil. "No I don't, so bug off."

I go to head down the hall to class but Jackson grabs my arm pulling me closer to him. I pull my arm away from him and he asks, "I know you don't hang out with anyone so why are you saying no?"

"I'm saying no because I don't like you, you're rude to everyone who isn't popular. So if you don't mind I'm going to get to class, before I'm late. " I reply walking off to class.

I take my seat next to Irma open my note book. Mr. Matthews walks in and says, "Alright class lets start where we left off."

*Time Skip To Lunch*

After P.E. I take a shower, put my school clothes back on, and head to the lunch line. After getting a hamburger and fries I head over to where April and Irma are sitting. I sit across from April and she asks, "So how was P.E.?"

"It was okay, only a couple of us got hurt. I have a couple of bruises but they aren't that bad. How was Science?" I ask, dipping a french fry in ranch then plopping it into my mouth.

"It was horrible, I didn't get anything on the homework." She says frustratingly.

"I'm sure it's not that hard, I'll help you if you want." I pick up my hamburger and take a bite out of it before noticing it's not completely done. I set it down and continue to eat my fries.

April and Irma get up and April says, "I have to get to Math. See you in Art."

"See you in Art." I reply as she walks away.

Jackson sits next to me and I quickly get up and scrape my tray into the trash can. I head back to my locker. I grab my AP Science book and head to the science room. I set my book down on the back table and get my notebook out of my bag. Kids come pouring in and the bell rings.

"Alright class, today we are going to be dissecting frogs. You'll be paired up and you have to answer the questions on this sheet. I'll be picking you're partners."

He walks over to his jar of names and starts to draw out names. I drown out the teachers voice until I hear her say, "Star you're with Jackson."

I didn't even know he was in this class. Ugh, I don't want him to be my partner. I don't want to dissect a frog.

Jackson walks over to me and says, "You get the paper, I'll get the frog and stuff."

I nod and grab the paper off the island in the middle of the room and head back to the back table where Jackson and the dead frog are waiting. I set the paper down and write mine and Jackson's name on it.

"Begin." After the teacher says this Jackson picks up the knife and cuts the frogs stomach open.

I look at the frogs open stomach and I don't know why but it made me think of the turtles. I look over at everyone else frog to see Mikey, Raph, and Leo staring at me. No light in their eyes. I look back at my frog and I see Donnie.

"I can't do this.." I mumble to myself.

I watch Jackson put the knife down and I look up to his eyes to see concern fill them. "Star? Are you okay?" His voice sounded far away.

My head started to feel fuzzy as black and white dots filled my vision. The room started to feel like it was being tipped and shook. Darkness soon took over.

I open my eye and sit up, blinking away the blurriness. "How are you feeling?"

I turn and look around to find where the voice is coming from and find it coming from the schools nurse. "I'm okay, I just have a head ache."

"This will help with the pain." She says handing me some Advil and a glass of water.

I take the pills from her and put them in my mouth swallowing them with a sip of water. She takes the water back and hands me note saying, "You better be getting back to class."

I look at my watch and see that I'm in Art right now. April is probably flipping out right now. I grab my bag and quickly head to Art.

Opening the door to the art room causes everyone to stop what they're doing and look at me. I walk over to the teacher and hand her the note. She nods and I go and take a seat across from April and she asks in a hushed whisper, "Where were you? What happened?"

"I'm okay, I just fainted when we were dissecting frogs in science." I reply in a whisper.

"Okay, I thought maybe you were kidnapped again."

"Nope." I say getting out my art project.

*Time Skip To After School*

We head out of school building and we head for the alley way next to our aunt's apartment building. I help April lift the manhole cover and we climb down the ladder leading into the sewers. We head in the direction of the turtles lair.

Once we get there we see Raph hitting the punching doll, Donnie on his laptop, and Mikey is on the floor reading a magazine. I smile and sit down next to Donnie. April sits close to me and Mikey gets off the floor and says, "Look! It's Bradford. I wish he could be my friend. It would be so cool to have him as my human friend."

"Mikey you already have human friends, me and Star." April tells him.

"You have to like us. We saved your lives." He replies.

I giggle at the two of them and Raph says trying to frustrate his brother, "It's too bad that there isn't a place where freaks can't meet other freaks and see how hideous they are."

April gets up and asks Donnie, "Can I use your computer?"

I watch Donnie do something on his computer quickly before he hands it to her saying, "Sure."

She sits back down and I watch as she types in . This is going to end badly.

She shows him the website and says, "Now you can make friends and they can't see who you are."

Mikey quickly pulls up Bradford and adds him as a friend. We wait a couple of minutes to see Mikey jumping for joy, Bradford accepted his friend request. "I'm gonna go meet my new friend."

Donnie was just about to tell him that Bradford would probably freak out on him but Raph stops him saying, "The guy's gotta learn somehow, one way or another."

We stay until the guys go out on patrol which wasn't much later after Mikey left.
