My Life Turned Red

Why? Oh that's Why

Lillie's POV:
       I was sitting in my unpacked room trying to choose what classes to take for high school. I was having a hard time focusing, it had been a week since Raph had given me a tour, we had hung about three times since then.
It was a bit difficult finding time to meet up with him and having to sneak around, or wait until I was alone at home. No we were not dating, just friends.
Those his deep emerald eyes, muscular form, and Brooklyn accent- "stop it Lillie, you can't like a turtle." I say to myself shaking my head. "Why not?" I scoff at myself.
"What do you mean why not? He's a ninja trained vigilante, I'm a small town girl. He's probably into someone a lot cooler."
I finally put down my work and sit on my bed, thinking. "Well maybe, it's not such a bad thing." I finalize.
Raph's POV:
I was in the dojo, trying to punch my thoughts out by using the bag. What is wrong with me? She's just some girl who's a friend. I think to myself, lost in the rhythm of my punches.
She probably has a boyfriend back home. That made sense she was smart and pretty and even a bit fiery. But long distance relationships hardly ever work out, at least from what I see from tv. Another voice adds.
What about April? She's human.
Yeah she's also a friend, with no love interest in us. Donnie's wasting his time with her, I'm not going to be like him.
Anger bubbles on me and I take one last punch before I lean against the cool wall. Maybe it's not too bad, we'll just see what happens.
I go take a shower. Afterwards I lock myself in my room to text Lillie.
Lillie's POV:
My heart leaped as I say Raph had texted me.
Hey, what's up

Yeah probably
Great c u about 10ish then
K
        I was excited as usual, I tried to return to my class choices but my mind kept wandering.
      As ten rolls around I silently grab my shoes from the entryway and slide open my window. "Oh wait." I say and grab a blanket I shove it under my covers to resemble my sleeping form.
        I jump down, the last few times I have perfected it. I crotch then grab the gutter and jump from there.
       After a few minutes of waiting Raph appeared he looked angry. "What's up?" I ask walking towards him, "nothing." He replied shortly.
        "Brothers gettin' to ya?" I ask, he chuckled at my accent flowing throughout my words. "Yeah, it's nothing though." He said through a sigh.
       "Okay, well you can vent to me if ya need to mk." I say, "okay." He said and we began our walk in the forest on the edge of the field that we only used for riding four-wheeler.
       "So what did you do today?" He asked, "nothin, just trying to figure out my classes for when school starts." I say, "ugh, I'm thinking of taking an AP social studies class."
       "Hmm."
"AP is an acronym for "Advanced Placement," it's a college level class." I explained knowing he didn't know what it meant, he did that, too proud to admit that he didn't know.
       "Don't you got four years to college?" He asked.
"Yeah but I'll have a better shot at gettin in if I take difficult classes."
"Oh,"
"How was your day?"
"Fine, just sparing and Lame-o-nardo being perfect. And Splinter being disappointed in me and everybody taking Leo's side."
"Well , why do they take his side?"
"Because, I'm the one with anger issues, I'm the bad guy, I'm the-" he looks at me, "I'm sorry, I don't want to throw my problems at ya."
"It's fine, besides, it's good for ya to vent to someone. Also I'm working on my sincerity."
He scoffs "why?"
"At my old school, I got into some arguments about my lack of empathy. I'm just not touchy feely, I tend to be callous, it was a joke among my friends that I had no emotions."
"Oh."
"It didn't bug me, probably feeding into the idea though."
He chuckled.
"So, you'll start high school in fall?"
"Yeah, we'll see how that goes." I was a bit nervous I was obviously different then everyone, and as I learned from my old school, different meant prey.
"You'll do fine." He replied reassuringly.
"Maybe."
Our conversation drifts from topic to topic until it's nearly 2AM.
I yawned and we started walking back, "sorry, we had to meet up so late." Raph says noticing the bags growing under my eyes.
"It's fine, it's not your fault and I enjoy walking with you." I say truthfully.
We arrive at my house and he gives me a boost up, I wave and watch him leave. I then change into my pajamas and crawl into bed.

Let me know if you want me to stick with one POV more, I think I may be switching too often.
