What should I know (catradora)

~Chapter 4~

TW: self-harm, abuse, mention of self-harm
it is mostly spread throughout the chapter but when it gets bad I will put a ✪

also, the stuff that has this writing is Catras voice in her head

(Adora's pov)

Do I like Catra? That is the question I have been asking myself since the principal's office. I get butterflies every time I look at her, she is so pretty. her personality is unimaginable to it's so unique she is so kind to the people she trusts, but she hates she is tough to the people.

so yes I have an answer to that question, I have a crush on catra and a big one too. we are driving to the dinner we will be there soon.

~time skip brought to you by being in class~

we're at the diner now "you ready to go in" I ask catra "yeah.... but are you sure they won't hate me" she asks nervously "they won't" I said reassuring her "promise?" "I promise"

we walk into the diner and I see bow and glimmer and I wave at them they wave back. "hey guys" glimmer says catra just awkwardly waves

"So Adora mom told me you stood up to a bully" glimmer said "well actually catra did I just helped" "wow on the first day too" glimmer said back

"can we get some food I'm starving," I said "yeah what do you guys want I'll get it," bow said "um I'll have fries and a chocolate milkshake" glimmer said "I'll have the same but a strawberry milkshake" I replied, "catra?" bow asked "oh I don't want anything, thank you though"  "alrighty I'll be back"

Bow left and I asked "Catra you sure you don't want anything? I haven't seen you eat all day." "yeah I'm just not hungry" catra replied. yeah, right she is definitely hiding something I need to find out what it is before something bad happens.

Bow gets back with our food and we all just talk and laugh. Catra's laugh is so adorable oh and don't get me started on her smile. Then I just hear "catra why are you wearing a hoodie in this heat? glimmer asks.  Oh fuck I shake my head to glimmer no "Oh it's because I get cold easily" 'in this heat?" glimmer says back Jesus Christ I'm going to kill her "yeah I do" catra says kinda irritated. okay, she is definitely hiding something.

(Catra's POV)

they all continue talking while I was thinking what the hell kind of answer was that I guess it was a better answer than saying oh it's because I cut myself because I believe I am totally worthless and just a burden. I look at my phone oh shit it's 4:25 "Um I am so sorry but I have to go thank you for this fun time" I say as I'm standing up

"Wait catra do you want me to give you a ride home," Adora says "no I can walk have fun with your friends" I practically run out of the diner when I said walk I meant sprint. I'm getting closer to my house the diner was only like 5 minutes away and I see my mom's car in the driveway "Oh Fuck" I was supposed to be home at 4:00 I lost track of time. shit, I'm dead, I slowly open the door.

"there you are," she said in such an emotionless voice it honestly scared me "yes, ma'am I lost trike of time-" "no excuses. I see you haven't done the chores," she said in the same voice at this point I was honestly getting angry because she makes me clean the entire house.

"you're very ungrateful you know that? I feed you gave you housing and raised you for free and I ask for one simple thing and you don't do it. Am I a bad mother to you?" she said so emotionless
