Connection ~ (Highschool AU - Catradora)

Chapter 4

Adora's POV:

"Hey Adora~.." 

"....Catra?..." I answered shakily

She gave a smug look, the same grin she always had as a kid.

 "Yep, that is me" She then answered then crossing her arms.

"W-What are you doing back?" I continued my shaky voice.

I saw her eyes turn into anger, she then grabbed the collar of my hoodie and pushed me against the wall.

"What am I doing back?! You LEFT me! You...YOU PROMISED YOU WOULD KEEP IN TOUCH WITH ME WHEN WE WENT TO DIFFERENT MIDDLE SCHOOLS" She huffed then breathed again "You promised that nothing bad would happen as long as we were together, well you should have left out 'together'...BECAUSE..together never happened did it?!"

I was left speechless staring at the cat girl that I once called my best friend, now screaming at me with full emotion. I couldn't reach her eyes as I stared down at the ground.

"I-I'm sorry..I promised I meant to call or make any form on contact. I really did. I never meant to leave you distraught, I thought you would just move on from me in middle school" I answered honestly.

She let go off my collar and scoffed, "Yea, but that doesn't change the fact that you BROKE the promise you made to me.  Adora, you meant everything to me. Yet you left me..for 4 years!" she screamed once again.

I was left speechless again, she rolled her eyes in annoyance. She scoffed and turned around to walk away, her tail slowly moving around. 

Something sparked within me as I quickly ran to her, yanking her arm to turn around. "Catra..listen! Please, you meant a lot to me as well and you still do! You heard me, I never had intentions of hurting you. Can we please try again? Regain the connection we once had together when we were younger?" I pleaded.

I saw her eyes flicker from my eyes to the ground, I could see and feel her contemplating the answer she was yet to give before finally answering.

She yanked her hand away, "You left me and expect me to just FORGIVE you just like that?! Stuff like that isn't that simple, you always got what you want while I had to work for it. EVERYTHING! Don't expect things to be the same between us" 

She shoved her hands into her pocket and made her way to the class that I was headed toward. I huffed in annoyance that I had to deal with her in my class. I was still standing there speechless while looking down at the hand that Catra had let go.

I felt a tear go down my cheek as it dropped down into the palm of my hand

"I'm sorry.." I whispered

~~~~~~~

The tardy bell rang as it knocked me right out of my trance, my eyes turned into a frantic worry. 

"I can't be late on my first day!" I rushed into the classroom to see and everyone's eyes darted to me, I froze in embarrassment. 

I saw Catra smirk, as I prepared myself to be screamed at by the teacher that I was yet to meet. What a way to make a good impression, Adora. I internally facepalmed.

"Adora?!" A familiar voice rang into my ears.

I instantly lifted my eyes to meet the teacher's, I instantly recognized him.

"Lance?!" I said with surprise.

I was completely taken back, I knew both of Bow's dads were historians. But I didn't think they worked at a school now.
