Narrator POV:
Today was the deciding Day and the Morning for Catra started perfectly. Her Mom woke her early, she slept well and her breakfast was a hot coffee, a Bagel with Ham with a Tobacco chaser. She had studied and was as prepared as she could be...Nothing could go wrong
Meanwhile Adora woke up drenched in sweat after the 3rd nightmare that night. Luckily it was already 7 when she awoke and she was glad to wake up fully in the Shower. Every dream she had was about her Parents returning from their Trip, that had been cut short and every last one of them ended the same way...until the last one in which Catras words from last night reemerged
"You're letting em do that, aren't you. Stop bitching and take control of your life..."
"She had no idea what she's saying....so why did that feel good to hear while making me pissed?" Adora thought as she stepped out of the Shower. Last night was not what she had expected. From her unsatisfactory dealing with Silva, calling his Dad to let him know where he can pick up his Son, to Catra being a lot more...catty for lack of a better term, nothing turned out the way she planned. Under any normal circumstance, a Plan failing like it did yesterday would have ruined her mood for the next day at least, yet she felt fine, almost glad it turned out the way it had "....sometimes I don't get myself"
Adora got dressed in her favorite shirt with a Unicorn on it, Normal looking Jeans and her Red Jacked, a Outfit that might seem boring but was approved by her Mother, just in case. Breakfast had been prepared by the times she stepped down the Stairs, Milena reading some magazine while preparing Lunch "Morning Adora"
"Hey, Milena" she answered emotionless
"Bad mood?"
"Bad night...also today..."
"Yeah, I know. We gonna have to pretend that we're not friends again" Milena said, hugging the blonde "i'm sorry you have to deal with them"
"I can handle it" she said and faked a rare smile meant for the Dog Hybrid "...i'm used to it"
"Just because you get used to it, doesn't make it okay"
"...I know"
Breakfast was, as always, a silent affair, since Milena was busy with making sure the place was spotless. Adora finished her Toast with smoked Salmon and grabbed her backpack "Im off, see you later, Milena"
"Have Fun Honey"
"Last bit of fun i'm gonna get for a while" she mutters as the Door closed
---
Catra was rarely nervous and when she was, she could hide it quite well...not so today however. This test might dictate how her Future Life would look like since, should she fail, Adora would win the Bet and she'd be on her own for the rest of the studies. Her Head filled with worry she took her seat as ms Weaver handed out the Papers "You have exactly 1 hour on the dot, anyone caught cheating will be thrown out with an immediate F and there will be no toilet break of any kind unless you're done" she droned on as she always did before a test until each of them had the Test in front of them "Begin"
Adora, meanwhile, was busy helping out the Student council, or rather Glimmer who had asked for her help specifically "Hey, wanna go get something to eat later?" she asked as they walked down the hall after they had brought some copies to the Teachers lounge. While the pink Haired Girl made it seem as just a casual invite, Adora knew she wanted to do something for her today
"Sure...anything to keep me from home today, i'm in"
"Yeah...that's today, isn't it" Glimmer pretended to remember just now "...wanna sleep over at mine? Delay the inevitable for a Day or two?"
