Chapter 4 : Why do you always run away

WARNING: this chapter contains drugs

Adora walked into the library, looking for Jake. She saw him. He was already starting the homework. She walked over to him.

"Hi Jake." Adora said as she sat down next to Jake.

"Hi Adora, is everything okay, you look sad?"

"No, no, never mind. It's nothing important, let's just do the assignment."

And so they did. Adora had finally had a really good time with Jake. After finishing the long homework, Adora put her stuff away and was about to leave when Jake took her hand.

"Wait! I have something to ask you Adora."

Adora set her bag down on the floor and sat down next to her friend.

"What is it Jake?"

"I met a girl today and I realize that I like her but like, really like her." said Jake a little shyly.

"Do I know her?" asked Adora.

"I think so. Imagine you're the girl I like, what would you like me to do to get you to go out on a date with me." asked Jake.

"Well... I'm not sure... it depends on the girl too, but I think if you got her flowers it would make her happy." replied Adora scratching her head.

"Great, thanks Adora and... wait, what's that?" Jake walked over to Adora.

He took her arm and rolled up the sleeve of Adora's sweater.

"Adora what happened? Who scratched you?" asked Jake.

"Oh this? It's nothing, it's... a..." Adora can't lie but she had to come up with an excuse as quickly as possible.

"A cat! On my way to the library, a cat scratched me."

"A... cat?"

"Yep..." replied Adora stressing a little.

"Alright... Anyway, I'm gonna go, see you tomorrow Adora."

"See you tomorrow."

Jake stood up, grabbed his stuff and walked out of the library. Adora decided to go back to the dorms as she was a little tired of this day.

Meanwhile, Catra, Scorpia, and Perfuma had gone to a café not far from the campus.

Scorpia could see that Catra wasn't okay.

"Wildcat, is everything okay?" asked Scorpia.

Catra had explained to her what had happened with Adora earlier that evening.

Scorpia was an old friend of Catra's, not as old as Adora though. Scorpia was one of the only people who could see through the feline.

"Wait a minute, you scratched her?!" asked Scorpia a little shocked.

"Maybe, but I didn't mean to!" Deep down, Catra regretted doing that to Adora.

"Catra, what you should do is go to Adora and talk about your feelings towards her." said Perfuma as she watered her plant.

"You're crazy, I would never do that! Besides I don't have any feelings for Adora." said the feline while drinking her drink.

Scorpia and Perfuma both looked at her with a big smirk.

"What?! It's true! I don't like her." said the cat girl.

Then Scorpia whispered something into Perfuma's ear. The flower girl got up from her chair, and headed for the bathroom.
