The Mutagen (TMNT Mikey fan fiction)

Mom's spaghetti

Dropping my fork into the plate of spaghetti, I listen as Marisa and her mom talk about the newest rumors that they've heard going around.

"So, there's this new kid in our class, they say he's going to enter street league" Marisa says excitedly.

"Oh? What's their name?" Her mom asks.

Marisa gives me a quick glance, "His name is Jay."

I choke my spaghetti, "Wh-What??"

Marisa smiles and nods, "it's the same Jay you were ogling over."

"I wasn't ogling him!" I take a sip of soda.

"Oh, he sounds like a nice boy. Does he stay out of trouble? Is he cute? He might be a perfect match for you, (y/n)!"

I nearly spit the soda out, "don't play matchmaker, Mrs. Johnson."

"You never know, (y/n), keep an open mind. You two already have one thing in common, skateboarding" she smiles.

Marisa giggles while I shake my head and continue to eat. Once we've finished dinner and help clean the dishes, me and Marisa head to her room.

"Your mom's spaghetti is amazing. I'm stuffed" I say as I drop onto her bed.

"Mhm, sure is. So, about this Jay. What's going on?" She sits on her desk chair.

"I don't know what you're talking about" I stare at the ceiling.

"Oh, come on, I saw how you two were staring at each other! Do you know him?" She persists.

I sigh, "no Marisa, I didn't know any Jay before him. But, I'll admit I can't shake the feeling that somehow, I do know him."

She hums, "you should talk to him tomorrow."

"Yeah? Tch, I wouldn't even know what to say" I look at her.

"Well, talk about the street league thing. They'll be coming to town soon" she suggests.

I shake my head, "Why? What's the point?"

She rolls her eyes, "so you won't be a single pringle anymore!" She laughs.

I sit up, "hey, being single is great! I'm free to do what I want, when I want."

"But, everything gets better when you do things together with the person you like"

"Isn't that what best friends are for?"

"You know what I mean," she deadpans.

"Oh yeah, because spit swapping is the greatest thing in the world"

"Ew, no, when you put it that way kissing does sound gross. But, (y/n), you don't know what you're missing out on. The cuddling, the extra warmth when you're cold, those butterflies in your stomach when he compliments you and gives you a kiss on your forehead-"

"OK, OK. Shut up, please before you get all sappy" I rub my eyes, getting tired.

"Haha alright. Hey one more thing, what happened that Friday night in the summer? I hadn't heard from you after it" she asks.

"Oh..uh, well I did some tricks. That guy on the fun box noticed and helped me out when I could get one done. I went home to find out we were going on vacation" I explain, well lied obviously, let's just hope it isn't that obvious to her.

"Really? What was his name?"

"He didn't say" I bite my lip.

She gasps, "Maybe it was Jay!"

I rolls my eyes, "couldn't be." There's no way. I laugh to myself, Mikey is a mutant turtle and Jay is a human.

"You never know, so where did you go for vacation?"

"We went to Chicago, visited some family there"

"Ahh, right, right. Your uncle Zack"

I nod.

As Marisa was about to say something else, her mom shouts, "(Y/n), your phone is ringing!"

"Coming!" I walk back to the living room where I left my backpack with my phone in.

I look at my phone and there was no new calls. Weird. That is until I heard the ringing. It's the turtle cell.

I answer, "hello?"

"(Y/n)! You have to come to the lair, now" Leo says worryingly.

"Why, what's wrong?"

"It's Mikey, look just hurry" he hangs up.

"Marisa, I have to go!" I pull my backpack on and make my way to the door.

"What where-"

"Bye!" I shut the door and run towards their lair.

Please, please let Mikey be ok.
