Getting by

Catra walks out of school to her moped, then checks her phone. She finds a text from her partner.
"Hey Catra, my address is 24, brightmoon Avenue. Come over as soon as you can."

" Brightmoon huh? That's the gated rich part of town." She scoffs. She hops on her bike and Adora's house. She begins to pass through castles of wealth each one bigger than the last and everyone of them beautifully built. Catra walks to the door and rings the bell, she waits for about 30 seconds until she is greeted by a young woman with strawberry blonde hair.
"Hello, I'm Angella, Adora and Glimmer's mom. You must be Catherine!" The woman tells me.
"Catra actually." I reply
"Oh I apologize! Catra I'll remember that, anyway Adora and Glimmer aren't home yet."
"Oh..."
"They will be home soon do you want anything to eat?"
I nod.
She walks into the kitchen and rummages through the pantry. She frowns and turns around to look at her guest.

"What do you feel like Cathr- Catra?"
"Anything is fine with me."
"I'll take out the cheese platter!"
Catra's mouth watered as her stomach growled.
Angella leaves the room and Catra stuffs as much as possible in a plastic bag she brought. Angella returned to see a good portion of the of the platter gone.
"Wow, You must be hungry! I'll take out the cookies too."
Hopefully this is enough for five people. Catra thinks to herself. Suddenly a she hears the front door open and close. Both Glimmer and Adora walk in the room.

"Hey mom!" Glimmer says while leaping into a hug.

"Hey momma Angie." Adora follows. Both girls sit down and grab a cookie. Angella gives the three girls a glass of water and they all take a sip.

"So Catra what neighborhood do you live in?"Angella inquires.
Catra chokes on her water and starts hacking profusely. Everyone stares at her in shock while she has her coughing fit.

"You good?" Adora asks.
Catra starts to nod repeatedly as she takes another sip.

"I live in the apartment complex on the edge of town." Catra answers.

"The dirty one?" Glimmer pries. While being elbowed on her side. She whips her head over at her sister and snarls. Adora mouths "don't be an asshole" and Glimmer turns around.

"Heh yes, the dirty one, it's not too bad. The only downside is you can't walk out past sunset." Catra replies. "But anyway Adora let's work on our project."
Adora nods as they walk out and walk upstairs to her room. Catra looks all round at the decor which is mostly bright colors. "Must really like pink huh? Wouldn't expect less from a spoiled princess."

"You are so immature, and to think, I actually was having seconds thoughts about your personality." Adora sniveled.

"Oh so I'm immature now, huh? Last time I checked I wasn't the spoiled princess who thinks everyone should act like her!"

"I never said you have to act like me. I just thought you'd put the good of both of us over this petty hatred you have."

"Petty hatred? This was fun, but guess what Princess."

"What?"

"...Nothing, let's just finish this dumb project so we can get a good grade." Catra sits down and opens up her laptop, Adora sits down and opens up hers as well. They begin to to read the prompt.

You will have to create a presentation on the rebels and how they defeated the horde's dictatorship. You will present this to the class. This project is 40% of your quarter grade.

Both girls look at each other with dismay. They both start to research the topic online, but neither of them could find information.

"There's literally nothing to find on this topic...oh wait I found a Wikipedia article!" Catra yells.

"Wiki isn't a credible source for research papers, didn't you pay attention in English?"

"Of course I did!...I just can't find anything else because that's our only option."

"Well there's a book I found, it's at the library."

"Well we can't get it, I don't have a library card" Catra answers.
Adora goes to her desk and picks out a wallet full of cards.
"Wow princess you really are privileged!" Catra sneers.

"You know what? Get out." Adora murmurs.

"What?"

"I said get the fuck out of my house. I've been nothing but generous to you, and you still are being an ass."

"Fine! Go on and live your happy life! With your cushy house without having to deal with a single problem!" Catra screams Before she  slams the door.

Adora sighs, while laying down on her bed. She lays down for a while and then rises. Adora opens her dresser and takes out a picture. It's a picture of a young girl and boy about her age, and a man and woman. She Stares at the picture when a tear falls down her cheek.

"I will never stop looking for you, we'll be together again, I promise." Adora whispers. She hears a knock and jolts.

"Are you okay Adora?" Angella asks.

"Yeah you can come in." She Answers. 
Angella walks in the room and sits down.

"What's in your hand Adora?"

"Oh it's nothing, Adora sits on the picture."

"This is about your parents again?"  Adora nods while looking down. Angella take her hand and lifts Adora's head to look at her.

"I think it's time I tell you about Your family."
