Happy Birthday, Princess. // 12

*tw// Events that happened to Adora containing: abuse, self-harm, and anorexia. This chapter also contains them drinking alcohol though they are all legal to drink.*

Catra's POV.

"Catra!" Suddenly I see a blondie running up to me, a huge grin plastered on her face.

"Hey, Adora." I giggle at the Girl as she hugs me. 

Such a dork.

my dork. 

We do our usual routine and went separate ways as we go to our own class. I was now sitting down in front of the class, my mind wandering to my Adora world. Today marks our 5 months together. I know it isn't that long but... still. I can't help but smile at the best 5 months of my life. 

"pssssttttt." Suddenly someone was tapping on my shoulders. I look behind me to see sparkles.

"What?" I whisper at her. We're literally in the middle of class discussion. She passes me a piece of paper. I raise my brow at her and took it. I read the note.

'Meet me and bow at the court after school, make sure Adora doesn't see you!' 

what do they need? and why does Adora need to not see me? it's suspicious, but... I trust Sparkles. I knew her long enough to know she wouldn't do anything to hurt Adora.

I nod at her and she smiles widely, clapping her hands in the process.

*timeskip brought to you by my lesbian self cause I FINALLY CAME OUT TO MY MOM!* 

I cautiously walked through the halls as I go to the court, making sure I'm hidden from Adora.  I quickly see Adora from the window on the door, writing notes. 

cute.

I quickly duck my head down so she wouldn't notice my cat ears.

ugh, whatever this is. I hope it's worth hiding from her. 

I open the door to the court and see Bow and Glimmer waiting for me. I walk up to them.

"So what's this about?" I break the silence and they both looked up at me. Their eyes wide as they looked at me suspiciously.

"You seriously don't know?" Arrow boy crossed his arms and I shook my head no.

"It's Adora's Birthday! 19th birthday!" Glimmer whisper-shouted.

WHAT. 

A capricorn huh, that explains a lot.

"Pfft, yeah I knew that..." I scoffed at them as I crossed my arms back at them, hoping they would believe me. 

"You don't."

"Yeah yeah, I don't! she never mentioned it..." I admit back. I suddenly feel guilty for not knowing. I never told her mine but she came prepared on my birthday anyway... with a new customized magicat helmet, and a bouquet. I smile at the sweet memory.

How was I supposed to compete with that??

"Yeah, well Adora forgets her own birthday most times anyway." Bow admitted.

"And if she does, she won't mention it. That is why it's perfect to plan her a birthday surprise!" She's right... Adora didn't mention anything earlier. We start thinking about what food to serve and where to plan the party. We decide to throw a house party, and buy some decorations.

"Okay so- sparkles will cook pasta, I will buy decor and crop top will bring the drinks and Adora." I confirm to them.

"Drinks? As in alcohol?" Bow raised a brow at me.
