We're humans now(tmnt)

Chapter 44

Raphs POV

Exactly one week until prom. I decided that today I'm going to ask Hannah to go with me.

Once we got to school, I started to look for her. I checked by her locker, but she wasn't there. I went into the cafeteria, but she wasn't there either! Everywhere I looked I couldn't find her! I was still looking for her when the bell rang. I couldn't be late for class, so I decided to ask her later.

First class took forever to finish. I'm not sue if it's just because I don't like math, or just because I was anxious to find Hannah.

After all the classes were done in the morning, I went to her locker. Luckily she was there.

I was going to go up to her but I was really nervous. What if she says no! Then what do I do, go to the dance alone? Ask someone else? Or what if she's already going with someone?

I didn't know how she would react, so there was only one way to find out. I went up her.

"Hey," I said trying not to make a fool out of myself.

"Hey," she said back. "I haven't seen you in a while."

She was right. The last time I really talked to her was on our date.

"Yeah that's right. Well how about we hangout maybe on prom then?"

She smiled and started blushing a bit. She caught on that I was asking her to go with me to prom. "Yeah, I'd like that."

"See you then," I said smiling a bit now.

"See you then," she confirmed.

Once we got home, I filled in everyone with the news. "She said yes," I explained.

"I told you she'd say yes," Leo said trying to make a point.

"I guess you predicted this one right," I said with a smirk.

Master Splinter came upstairs not looking happy. Before I could ask what was going on, he started talking.

"Can I have a word with you Raphael?" Splinter asked.

"Yeah sure," I said unsure of what he wanted to talk about. I don't remover doing anything bad lately.

I followed him into the basement. He went and took a seat at the desk. I sat on another chair.

"When I left for those couple nights, did anything happen?" Splinter asked.

I thought for a minute. Then I remembered that we did have a party, but we weren't telling him about it.

"Nope," I lied.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Yeah I'm sure."

He looked me in the eye. "How about you tell me the truth."

"The truth is that nothing happened," I lied trying to sound believable.

"Then you wouldn't happen to know anything about this?" Master Splinter asked pressing down on button that is on the phone downstairs. It went to the answering machine.

"Hey it's me Jake, I was wondering if you were going to have another party soon, like the one you had that one weekend at your house..."

There was more to it, but Master Splinter stopped it there.

"What was that about then?" Splinter asked.

"I...I don't know who that is," I lied.

"Raphael, first you throw a party and tell me nothing happened, now you continue to lie!" Master Splinter said raising his voice.

"You're grounded, for a month!" Splinter said. "Now you can leave while I talk to the others.

I was about to leave, but I realized something. "Sensei, prom is in a week though!"

"Then I guess you'll just have to miss it."

My heart started to pound fast. He couldn't do that! I guess we should be punished for throwing a party, but we only get one prom! I'm starting to regret throwing that party.

Master Splinters POV

Next I called Michelangelo downstairs. I was really disappointed in them for throwing a party. If they lie to me about not having a party, they're grounded for a month. If they don't lie to me, they're only grounded for two weeks, and maybe let them go to prom.

I know it's harsh not letting them go, but the one thing I asked them not to do is what they did.

Michelangelo sat down in the same chair as Raphael. He sat there nervously. I could tell he didn't want to be here.

"I have a question to ask you, did you do anything you weren't supposed to when I left that one week?" I asked.

He looked down at the ground. "I ate the entire pizza we were supposed to share and blamed it on Raph," Mikey said sounding guilty.

"I mean something else," I said.

"I did skateboard in the hallway upstairs," he confessed.

I sighed. How many things did he do that he wasn't supposed to do?

"Did you do anything with your friends?"

"Well Casey and I..." he started but I intruded him.

"What I'm trying to say is did you throw a party?" I asked getting impatient with him.

"Wait, how do you know, I mean why do you think that?" Mikey asked basically blowing his cover.

"Did you or did you not?" I asked.

"No. Yes! I mean no! Maybe?" Mikey said.

"Yes or no?" I said raising my voice.

"Yes," he said sounding ashamed of himself.

"Thank you that is all I need to know. You are grounds for two weeks," I told him.

"Okay," he sighed and left.

After that to speed things up, I decided to call the rest of them downstairs at the same time.

"On the weekend I left, did you do anything you were not allowed to do?" I asked.

"No," Karai said without hesitating.

"How about you all think for a minute before answering," I said referring to Karai.

"We didn't do anything." Donnie said.

"Leonardo?" I asked seeing if he was going to lie to me. I saw his leg shaking a bit. I knew he was nervous.

"We did nothing out of the ordinary," he said followed by a faint smiled.

I looked ashamed of him. I left him in charge, but he clearly isn't trustworthy.

"So parties aren't out of the ordinary?" I asked as I played the recording. After it finished playing they all didn't know what to say.

"You three are grounded for a month," I said.

It took them a minute to say something. "But what about prom?" Donnie asked.

"What about it?" I asked.

"You can't so this!" Karai said with anger in her voice.

"Surely I can," I told her.

"I don't care what you say, but I'm going," Karai ignored what I said and left.

I can tell that no one is happy with me, but what was I supposed to do, not punish them for something they did that they shouldn't have done?
