When she revealed herself, she found a girl on the roof.

"You're a..."
"Turtle, yep. Name's laila."
"Amanda." Laila stepped closer, until she was a few feet away.
"What were you doing?"
"Well, I'm on a roof above a busy intersection.."
"Why?"
"Because I was going to-"
"I'm talking about why you'd do that?"
"I deserve this."
"No you don't."
"How do you know?"
"If you really deserve this, then I deserve ten times worse."
"No you don't."
"Neither do you."
"Laila-"
"It's the truth. They just can't see how awesome you are...what grade are you in?"
"10th...what would you be?"
"If I was human? Senior."
"...wanna text sometime?"
"Sure. Here's my number." Laila handed her a piece of paper and turned to leave.
"Laila?"
"Hmm?"
"Thanks."
"Anytime." She left for the sewers as the girl got off the roof and headed home, ready for the lectures that she was gonna get.
