This is my first time ever writing, so here goes nothing!
Odette Jones is 16 years old, lives in California and wants nothing more than to get away from her "mother," so she decides to go live with her father and older brother Casey in New York.
Sh...
Monday... It has been a few days since I went to school and moved into the lair. I'm on my way to school with Raph's supervision. I was more excited to take this mirrored route so I could start training already, I mean come on, have you seen these noodle arms?
I wore black ripped jeans, converse, a black top and my red leather jacket to school. Most of my school outfits revolved around this style.
I used to be ashamed of my scar... its meaning. I used to cover it with makeup and my hair, for the first couple of years I had a patch. I touch the scar for a little bit. Almost at school. I'm surprised none of the turtles or April have asked how I got it yet. I wouldn't mind telling them at all, I mean I totally trust them, but I might just shed some tears...
Raph was kneeling on the rooftop when I got to the school crosswalk. Looking up I smiled and waved goodbye. He nodded with a smirk and left when he saw me cross the street. "That dude is to much for me to handle sometimes." I bit my lip and tried not to squeal. WHYYYY MUST I BE LIKE THIIIIIIS!?!?!?
Ughhh... English it's too early to English. I already speak it why do I have to have a class on this? I walked into my classroom and sat in the back corner, two less people to deal with, you know? All we ever do is write about our feelings in a stupid journal! I put my head down on top of the desk "I could write song lyrics... AND THIS DUDE WOULDN'T EVEN NOTICE."
The bell rang and little by little more students entered the classroom. In the middle of the cluster came my teacher: Walter FRIKKEN Ogstein. And we begin writing in our journal. All of my journals are free topics I could care less about his "quote of the day and what does it mean to you?" NOTHING! IT MEANS NOOOTHIIIING!
After this BS I have Advanced algebra ( I float through that like a breeze), chemistry(...easy, but I usually have Don check my work), history (pfffft) , and finally, lunch. ——— skip! ——— I look towards our usual meet up spot for lunch and see Casey and April sitting down at the table. More confident in where I'm going I head to the table a little faster and sit by April. "Hey guys!" I say with my elbows on the table and my interlocking fingers supporting my chin. "Sup sista'?" "How are your classes going Odette?" I open up my chocolate pudding and milk " Eh, can't complain. Everything is a little easy, but I have you and Don if I ever fall behind." I ate a few spoonfuls of pudding. "Well I guess she inherited the looks and the brains." I blushed and Casey frowned trying to figure out a way to defend himself to no avail. April and I giggled. " Don't worry Jones, you still have your charm." Pudding almost came up my nose.
We all finished our food and moved on to talk about training. "Yeah, everyday after school. I'm excited. I want to go out with you guys on your adventures and stuff!" They both laughed and we all got up and went to our different classrooms waving goodbye. ... music appreciation and then art. I'm so close.

My new training clothes fit just a tad big but that was ok. I grabbed the bandages and went to knock on Raph's door. He answered with a confused expression and I showed him my dilemma. "You said you would help me..." I gave him puppy eyes. "Yeah yeah, come in." He opened his door all the way and I sat on his bed. He started coming my way and grabbed a chair, setting it down in front of me. I handed him the wraps and he suddenly grabbed my foot along with one of the two longer bandages. I stared as he slowly wrapped my foot, ankle, all the way up to my calf. He did this in silence, and held my leg in his hand a bit before looking up and smiling, saying, "Your feet are really small, you know?" "Really? They're only attached to my body, so I haven't noticed yet." He looked shocked for a bit and let go of my leg. "Feisty one, ain't ya?" He smiled. I crossed my arms and legs. "There's a lot you don't know about me, Raphael Hamato." "Yeah, yeah, whatever! Now try and do your other leg." I took the other longer bandage and mirrored what he did with the wraps. I couldn't get it as tight or get the ending of it right. Raph noticed and readjusted it for me. "So, who exactly is Raphael Hamato?" I extended my hand so he was able to wrap it and show me how to do the same with my other arm. He turned my hand palm up and began to wrap up my hand to my forearm. "Well, I'm the second oldest. I draw, occasionally, and I like to kick butt. I'm also pretty good at it too." "Oh, really?" "Yeah, really." He finished my arm and I started the other one. "That's it? No daring backstory? Or any, 'wanna know how I got these scars' talk?" I finished wrapping my arm. You could say it was more of a success than my leg, and needed no adjustment. "Nah. I might be a Mutant turtle, but my life is pretty boring."

I got up from the bed, now in my full training attire. I moved over to the small mirror in the corner to start posing and flexing.

Raph was chuckling to himself and I froze in a flexing pose when he asked me something I was bound to be questioned about sooner or later. "So... how'd you get that scar?" I could feel myself shrink down and I turned my head towards him. "It's a... long story." *—————————————————————* I JUST WANNA SAY THANKS TO Kri_Tmnt FOR LETTING ODETTE BE IN HER STORY, YOU GUYS SHOULD CHECK IT OUT SHES REALLY GOOD.
