Chapter 3

Cmon bell.... Bell.. bell...

You tap your pencil in impatience as the clock got closer to ringing, the signal starting your weekend.

You still wondered when Donnie planned to take you to the park, but you decided to be patient and not pester him about it. Bell, cmon gosh darnit. April tapped your shoulder, "Has Donnie said anything about your, date?~" You scoff, "We're friends dumb-dumb." April adjust her glasses all anime-like, "Yeah, sure.. 'Friends'. Whatever you say girl." You smirk; rolling your eyes. April always did tease you because of how you acted around Donnie, but you were fine with it as long as she didn't do it in front of him. The bell suddenly rings, you jump up with April, grab your bags and run out the door.

You grip to Aprils bag as the two of you worm your way through the wave of students eager to leave. When the fresh fall air hits your face, you sigh in relief. April gives you a quick hug and whispers in your ear, "Look over there." You look around and your eyes soon fall on a figure with a signature purple hoodie. You realize who it was and sweat nervously, "Good luck y/n" You were about to protest, but April ran off, leaving you frozen.

Donnie waited, but when you didn't move- he walked to you. "Hey y/n." You awkwardly try to greet him, "uh..uh.. Hi...?" Donnie raises a brow, "You okay?" You nod quickly and cough into your fist, Donnie awkwardly broke the silence, "Sooo...to the park we go!" And with that Donnie locked arms with you and speed-walked to the park.

You were almost limp out of confusion and anxiety of being on a NOT-date with Donatello.

When the two of you arrive to the almost empty park Donnie waits for you to catch your breath. When you seem rested, Donnie pats your back, "So Amigo, where to first?" Your eyes instantly fall to the swings that were between several trees in the shade. You go to grab his hand, but stop and just silently walk to the swings. As the sun disappears from the blanket of red and orange leaves, you finally reach the two swings that rocked slowly with the wind. Grass grew along the base of the structure and the chains squeaked as they moved. "I've never seen this area before..." Donnie silently agrees to your remark and carefully takes a seat, you repeat his actions. "So... why'd ya wanna hang today?" You ask, a bit of hope in your voice as you awaited a sweet response. But, as always, Donnie had a reason that made sense and involved work, "Oh, I just finished the workload of projects I've been creating, so I thought today would be an acceptable time for 'hanging out'." You smile weakly, as a pang of disappointment fills your heart. Of course he didn't hang out because he liked you, he did it because he was bored...

"Yeah, that's understandable." You agreed in a monotone voice, Donnie didn't seem to pay it much mind though.

"So, why did you want to hang with me?" You feel your blood run a little cold. You had to make an excuse, you can't just say it was a result of you screwing up asking him out.

"Um...I don't know.. I have fun hanging with you?" Donnies eyes widen a little and you swore you saw something pink to his cheek, "Oh, um... Well of course you do, I am a master of entertainment!" You snort, your nerves were finally relaxing, "Haha, sure you are." Donnie elbows you lightly and the two of you let out a hearty laugh.  

The air was filled with a comfortable silence, until you decided to break it. 

"So, how are your brothers?" Donnie groans. "Ugh, they've been destroying the place, as usual." You laugh a little. Then Donnie asks you a question that breaks your heart,
