Regrets

The Project

Leona hummed along to the song she was listening to as she opened her locker, inside there were pictures of her parents and her best friend, April O'Neil.

Suddenly someone tapped her on the shoulder. She took out her earphones before turning around to face April O'Neil.

April was the same age as her with natural red hair up in a ponytail and she had a yellow headband. She was lean with freckles, and blue eyes. She wore brown wristbands, a yellow and white shirt with a 5 on it and a black t-shirt under it, showing black sleeves, a black choker, jean-shorts with black leggings under them and black boots.

She was a reporter for the school paper.

"Hey, you have your report?" April smiled.

"Yep, all As; you?" Leo asked as they walked to home room.

"Yeah, but I got a B in history and my Mom nearly killed me." She groaned. "She's on my case all the time, my Dad's cool but she is always trying to control my life!"

"I'm sure she does it because she loves you." Leo smiled.

"Sure, I'll see you in English." April sighed and they went their separate ways...

...

After lunch Leo walked into her English class earlier then everyone else, as always. Three minutes later the rest of the class came in, followed by the teacher.

"Alright settle down class!" She called and everyone sat in their seats.

"Today you will be paired up to write a report about your families. You have two weeks to finish it." She said as people groaned. The teacher pulled out a sheet of paper with all the students' names on it. "Okay, I will be pairing you up: Casey Jones with Hamato Donatello, April O'Neil with Irma Langinstein, Raphael..."

The teacher looked at the emerald green turtle.

"To make sure that you do this project I will be pairing you up with a bright student: Saiyo Leona." She smiled.

Raphael glared and looked to the other side of the room at Leo. She just kept her head down and wrote in her book...

...

"I can't believe that she paired you up with that hothead!" April exclaimed after they left English.

"Don't worry, it's just one school report. It won't kill me or him." Leo chuckled.

"So, are you coming over tonight?" April asked as they climbed onto the bus.

But Leo shook her head sadly. "Sorry April, but my grandmother's coming over tonight. Said she wants a change of pace after her husband's death."

"How many does that make?"

"This one's the third, and he died two years ago." Leo sighed.

"Well at least your family's interesting." She groaned.

"Yeah, I guess."...
