Narrator POV:
Timeskip 2 days
The Weekend passed without further incidents, Catra being tutored and Adora being back to her cheerful "self". While the Cat Hybrid might have learned her secret, not being able to exploit it irked her for some reason. She felt as if she had lost control and Adora just took it without even trying to do so.
Monday rolled around and Catra lay in Bed, staring at her Alarm clock "....nope" she muttered to herself and turned back around, ignoring the blinking 07:33 on the clock. Her mother had an early shift today so there was noone to force her to go to School, a rare occurrence but needed after the Weekend that turned from tense to tenser in the matter of just a single conversation
Catra touched her lips, carefully, thinking back to the moment Adora had kissed her, both Eyes wide open as if they were expecting a Trap of sorts to spring into effect just from this. The young Woman was no stranger to physical affection, having been with a few Girls so far that she would call "convenient". The type of Girl that had started to wonder about their Sexuality and saw Catra, the known Lesbian in school, as an equally "convenient" Partner to experiment with. The weird thing is that it felt....familiar...as if it had not been the first time but she failed to place any moment where she could have known Adora from before their first encounter on the roof
"Why did that feel so.....different?" she thought "The blonde is attractive for sure but no way im ever gonna get with her ...or would ever want that...but why does it feel like Déjà-vu?" Confusion, anger and defeat spread inside of her but more than anything was the question "Why?" that she always came back to. "Why did I let it happen, why did it feel different? WHY can't I remember? Why can't I get it out of my Head?"
Her Smartphone rang suddenly, making the Catgirl flinch and yet relieved when she saw Scorpias Name on the front and not her Mothers as she had feared. Scorpia was a Friend who had moved away a few years ago but still insisted on keeping in contact with Catra. She had been the reason Catra took a liking to the nickname "Catra" instead of "Kitty" as Scorpia had been calling her to the disgust of the Feline
"Hey Scorp, whatup?"
"Nothing much...you going to School today?"
"Nope. Moms got n Early so i'm enjoying the quiet...how did you know?"
"Call it my six'd Cat sense?" she said and a sudden awkward silence followed "....anyway what is going on in your Life?"
"Ohh man, you wouldn't believe the Shitshow I call Life right now. Met this really annoying blonde..." Catra delves deeper into the question and ends up telling Scorpia everything that has happened so far
"She...Kissed you? Ain't that a bit too fast?" Scorpia asked, her voice much quieter than before
"Not really...also, not like I wanted her to, Scorp...."
"...so she's faster than you?"
"HA! No? ...wait...are you saying I let this happen?"
"I can't tell you that, Kitty"
"Bullshit....she freaked me out with the whole "True Nature" shit and...that's all"
"....and yet you didn't kill her..." Scorpia answered and Catra swore she could hear the Eyeroll in her Voice
"Again..I was just a bit out of it" she said, trying to convince herself more than her old Friend
"Hmhm...if you say so"
"Enough about me, what's going on with you? Any Progress with Perfuma?"
"...sort of...but nothing concrete yet. Found a Job yet?"
