My Life Turned Red

Meet the Humans

Raph's POV:
Casey and April were in the lair eating pizza with us.
"Sooo Raph, when do we get to meet Lillie?" The red head asks.
I shrug, "don't know," honestly I was nervous about my girlfriend meeting Casey, I didn't knew it was ridiculous since she has lots of human boys at school. (Lillie is in the grade below April and Casey).
            "Why don't you invite her over dude?" Casey asks. "She must be dying to meet me." He says snuggly, I throw a fork at him, I choke down a growl.
           Twenty minutes later I was walking Lillie to the lair. "Um, you may recognize them from school." I say, filling her a bit in about April and Casey.
"Yep." She says squeezing her eyes shut, she still didn't like the sewers.
     We arrive at the lair and Lillie breaths a sigh of relief. "Hi, I'm April!" April exclaims appearing in front of us.
"Lillie,"
"Oh, way to nail um Raph, she's hot." Casey says coming up. Lillie raises an eyebrow, then punches him in the face.
"Call me hot again and you'll be missing more teeth, toothless." She says in his face.
            I see Casey gulp and pride runs through me. Suddenly April grabs Lillie beaming, "come on we've got some catching up to do." And she tugs Lillie towards the exit.
Lillie's POV:
          As we head for the exit my breath quickens, I take my hand back placing them on my knees. "Deep breath Lil." I mutter to myself.
          "You okay?" April asks, concern on her face.
"Yeah." I wheeze, "not a fan of small spaces."
         I feel Raph come up behind me, "come on, I'll talk you two out." He says placing a comforting arm around my shoulders.
            We walk to the surface in silence, reaching the manhole I scamper up and breath in dirty city air. Giving Raph a hug I look back at April, "um sorry about that."
"It's fine, I've never seen Raph act so sweet. Your from Minnesota right, got detention for that fight last week?"
"Yeah, that's me."
"Now I see why Raph likes up."
         We make small talk as we walk down the streets, I learn about April and tell her about myself. We get back to the manhole cover and exchange numbers.
           "It'll be fun to have another girl to talk about the boys with." She says,
"For sure." Glancing at the sewer entrance, "I think I'm going to head home."
"Okay I'll let Raph know."
"Thanks," I reply then make my way away from the cramped city.
         Getting home I tell my parents about April, she'll work well as an alibi for when I visit the lair, and maybe as a friend.
