Four fifteen-year-olds stand before the high school, gear in hand. Michelangelo cradles his backpack, projecting false confidence. Leonardo stays close to Mikey and Donatello, vigilant. Raphael stands apart, hands on hips, radiating contempt. Leo speaks up, hoping their new knowledge will help them navigate this strange human life. Mikey worries about the chaos of yesterday, specifically a locker that tried to eat his arm. Raph scoffs, blaming Mikey's own stupidity for the incident. Mikey pouts in denial. Donnie, pale and flushed from sickness, asks to leave, feeling dizzy. Suddenly, Roosevelt High’s bell rings. Students scramble. The boys realize they have no idea where their classes are.
