My Mask (Catradora High School AU) (COMPLETE!)

Chapter 1 : Messy Start

Narrator POV:

"School fucking sucks..." That was her thought as her Fist met the Skull of Silva, the hotheaded idiot that just couldn't learn. He had been asking the young Woman out for so long and so often, that she stopped answering him and just beat his Ass up, saving herself time and ending up far less annoyed in the end.

Catarina "Catra" Ortego was a "half" in every meaning of the word. Half Cat, half Latina and, if you were to ask most Teachers, half a student. She was the definition of a "bad mood" since that had become her default disposition to most things in life since her ferocious Nature and dismissive, sometimes abusive attitude, had given her a certain reputation after she started her life in Bright Moon High and getting into fights, calling Teachers "Bitch" and threatening Students for Money have done little to change that. As short as she was for her Age, the 5,6 ft Girl had more than enough experience in a fight without relying on her Claws and with her Hair cut short and Clothes diplaying mostly hostility and agression to thoose around her, most knew to stay clear of the Hybrid

"Had enough already? Oi Oi come on, i'm not even sweating" she says, boisterous while looking at the young man on the ground, letting out a disappointed sigh when he groaned and got up slowly

"I..i'll come back...one day you will be my Girl" He brings out

Walking away with her middle Finger up, the young Woman lets the disappointment of the unsatisfactory fight wash over her "Yeah yeah, same old Bigoted bullshit. You don't wanna girl, you wanna Slave or a Dog you can Fuck and you are to dumb to know the difference" she says and walks out from under the Bleachers where their little scuffle had taken place

"Well fuck...not even 12 and im bored" she mutters and makes her way to the roof in order to nap. The warm Sun, a slight breeze and more than anything, the quiet that this Place gave her were all things she didn't hate. The Roof of Bright Moon high was a little odd in design, surrounded by a Mesh fence, several Flower beds and a makeshift Garden for Vegetables and Herbs that the home economics Club had created and used on a weekly basis. Outside of that, no one but her used the Roof, since no one but her had the Key (that she had copied a few months back)

Laying down behind one of the Flower Beds, letting the sun shine on her Body while enjoying the breeze ... this was the best feeling she could imagine "I'm starting to think that this place is literally the only reason i still come here" she thinks and remembers how shit this Day started

Flashback to this morning

Waking up to the shouts of her Mother, Sofia Ortego, was always a pain in the Ass to her but when the Head still hurt from drinking last night, it was far worse "CATRA, GET UP!"

Catra, the nickname she had been given by an old Friend in middle School, had stuck with not only her Mother but also with her as a nice reminder of a time when she still enjoyed School.

"You get your ass to school or i will beat the stupid out of you, missy"

"Urgghhh...SHUT UP" Catra shouts, regretting it the second her Door flies open

"What was that, Mija?" her Mother asks with a smile that suppressed her anger rising in her voice. Spanish was rarely used in the Ortego Household but when it happened, Catra knew she was on the thinnest of Ice

"Im sorry, im sorry, i'm coming" she says, getting out of bed in a hurry. Her Mother had little idea just how bad things had gotten at school but always made sure she would leave on time. While Catra didn't give a shit about anyone in her life, her Mother was the only exception. She had her far to young and could have easily aborted her after her Father made clear he would not be around yet she didn't, worked 3 Jobs at times and made their lifes a balancing act that was never easy
