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

Extra : Words unspoken

Narrator POV:

"YOU FUCKING CHEATER! " Adora shouted, her longtime partner sitting at the couch, smirking "Do you really think I will just let you walk all over me?"

"Why are you making such a big deal about it? We were long over anyway"

"Ohh no ..we had every chance until you went ahead and decided for both of us...as you always...have you ever thought how much this could hurt me? Do you even care?"

"Please, don't make a scene" they said, standing up

"A SCENE? I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU IF...If ..you..."

"CUT"

Adora's face dropped and she wiped away the sweat on her forehead. She was currently on the Stage that her theater Club was renting, playing the role of Sheela, a scorned Woman who figured out her Partner had been cheating on her for months...but for some reason, she always faltered at the last bit, failing to display any real anger and that had never happened before "Im sorry Chai"

"Nothing to worry about, Adora...you get why I stopped you"

"Because I...yeah I get it, we had this talk already" Adora said and took a bit of Water out of the water bottle she had brought with her "If you would change the cast to be Female I.."

"You're an Actress, Adora, so ACT STRAIGHT!"

"Didn't we all at some point" Adora thought but choose not to voice it "I told you, I'M TRYING" she said through clenched teeth

"Trouble again?" another voice asked behind them. Catra was looking up at them from the first row

"Hey Catra...could you talk to your better half?"

"Already have, didn't work" she said, hopping onto the Stage "Adora just can't be straight...not that i'm complaining bout it" she smirked and gave her Girl a quick kiss "Wanna try rehearsing with me again later?"

"No...one night of pretending you cheated on me was more than enough of a trauma for me, thanks"

"Ohh, don't pout, blondie...or should I remind you how that night ended?" Catra asked, her tone thick with implication that let Chai look away, pretending she wasn't there

"...I remember but still, I'd rather figure this out on my own" Adora said and grabbed her Bag "I gotta hit the library for a bit, see you at home" she kissed Catra on the Cheek but her attention was already gone elsewhere, leaving the other two young Women in an awkward silence

"Stubborn Ass" Catra remarked, massaging her Temples "...It's always been her problem...instead of asking for help, she buckles down and tries to fix it herself"

"That's one of her strong points, I guess" Chang said with a smile "If she were to just be more open, she'd have every chance of being one of the greatest actresses of our lifetime...shit, she still might be, even with that one flaw"

"Don't tell her that. Her Ego has been bloated enough lately as it is" she said and waved goodbye, leaving the Auditorium to head home.

It had been 2 years since they started college and after a lot of talking and a bit of therapy, Adora had started to pursue her acting career. Her Natural talent of becoming a different person gave her an easy time but when she had to pretend that her sexuality had changed, things went south. Catra had tried to be helpful but on this, nothing she tried had even shown the slightest success and it became frustrating to juggle Adoras moods with her own work at times

"Why do I always have to be the one to pry open that damn tin Head of yours, Adora?" she thought, walking to their shared student apartment near the campus "Maybe it's time for ...drastic measures"
