Connection ~ (Highschool AU - Catradora)

Chapter 11

Adora's POV

Catra was acting weird in the morning before and during the 1st period, it definitely started when that boy asked me out. I don't know why it was just a boy asking me for my number. She shouldn't freak out or anything.

"What should I do," I asked Glimmer.

It was after the 5th period and we had lunch. 

"Well..if you ask me. You know, it's a possibility...Catra might like you a little more than you think" She responded taking a bite out of an apple.

I hid the half of my face in Catra's hoodie mostly to hide the blush, but the smell of her hitting my nose causing me to blush even more.

"W-What do you mean?" I stuttered.

She groaned and facepalmed, "Girl, I mean she literally has a crush on you. Didn't you say you both like literally kissed"

I took my hands out of Catra's hoodie and waved my hands around gesturing a no, "What, no! I meant that we ALMOST kissed, not that we did"

"Oh well, but you're still wearing her hoodie. So don't you think that is going to have an effect on her" She said pointing to the hoodie I was wearing.

"True, but she knows we're just friends" I answered firm.

"Adora, what do you want? Friends or no friends" She questioned.

"I..we're just friends. Nothing more, she would never like someone like me" I said.

"I didn't say that. I asked what do you want, Adora?" She questioned once again.

"Friends, I want to be just friends" I lied. 

I obviously want something with Catra, but If we become lovers. Then that puts us at risk of us possibly losing each other if something like breaking up happens. I don't want to lose her again, I just got her back.

"Okay, then if a situation pops up where she asks to go out with you tell her that you want to just stay friends" She clarified.

I nodded, then hearing the bell signaling for us head to our last period. I waved goodbye to glimmer and made my way over to my 6th period.

I jumped feeling a familiar furry arm around my neck and shoulder.

"Hey, gorgeous" Catra whispered into my ear.

I looked over at her and blushed, "W-What?" 

"I'm kidding! When you get all blushy, it's hilarious. God, you are easy to tease" Catra said sticking her tongue out releasing my shoulder from her arm. 

I pushed her, making the blush go away fast from embarrassment. Why did she calling me gorgeous have such a huge effect on me, she is such a tease! This is why I'm never going to date her! That is such a lie...

"Hey, don't get all butthurt over one little joke" Catra whined. 

"I'm not" I reassured giving her a smile and seeing a text message pop up on my phone. 

It was from the mystery guy, which I never got his name. 

It read:

'Hey..Adora! I know I never got your name, I'm Antonio! A and A, get it? Because we both have the same letter for our first names? Yeah, I'm not funny'

"God, he's cringy," Catra said over my shoulder causing me to jump.

"Jeez, creep. Don't scare me like that. And yeah, I agree. He's kind of cringe" I answered still staring at the text.
