Bright Moon High: A Catradora love story

Chapter 4

Adora's POV

It's Wednesday. The first few days of school were easy. No homework assignments but I know that's getting ready to change. "Hey aunties! Thanks for making breakfast and coffee"

"Of course Adora. How's school going?" Aunt Netossa says as she hands me a plate of eggs and toast.

"Eh. It's going. Nothing new to report really. You going to be at my game this Friday?"

"Oh sweetie we wouldn't miss it for the world. I wish your parents could see you play. They'd be so proud of you."

"Thanks Netossa. That means a lot." I smile after the memory of being told my police that my parents died in a plane crash coming home for Christmas when I was 5. That was 11 years ago. I don't remember them much, but that's okay. I have a few boxes of their stuff to remember them by. "Anyways, I should get going to school."

I grab my helmet and letterman jacket and got on Swifty. Swifty roared to life and off we went. The ride to school was relaxing on the Triumph. Nothing like some throttle therapy to get the day started. I pulled into a spot near the door and spot my friends. "Hey guys!" I wave and pull my helmet off and attempt to fix my hair.

"Hey adora." Must be Catra. Only she calls my name like that. I look over and there she is getting out of her beat up pick up truck. "I didn't know you rode a motorcycle. That's hot."

Great another blush across my cheeks and feelings of butterflies came as well. "Hey Catra." I flash my smile at her trying my best to ignore her comment. "Yeah I ride. It's honestly a lot of fun. Maybe one day I can you for a spin." Ah crap. Did I just ask her out?

"Adora! Hey over here!" It was Perfuma.

"Hey come meet the gang. You'll love them." I start hearing Catra try to talk her way out but it's too late. I grabbed her hand and pulled her over to the group. "This the group! You know Glimmer and Bow already. The rest is Mermista, Seahawk, Scorpia, Entrapta, Perfuma, and Frosta. Guys this is Catra."

"Hey." They all say at the same time. The bell sounds. "We will see you for lunch Adora. Bye Catra."

Catra and I walk side by side to our lockers to drop off our bags and grab our supplies for class. "Hey, I'll see you in Latin?" I close my locker and walk away.

Catra POV
The bell for writing class ends and before I know it I'm the first one out the door heading to Latin. I arrive and see Adora is already there, but she doesn't notice me. She's talking to Perfuma and Scorpia. This will be perfect. I can sneak up on her and surprise her. I carefully walk up behind her and whisper in her hear "Hey Adora."

"Hey Catra." She turns and flashes me a huge smile.

"Hey Catra!" It's Scorpia. "I didn't know you were in this class. Man I really should pay better attention."

"Greetings class. Everyone please sit. It's time to go over your first assignment." Micah starts writing on the board. I take my seat next to Adora who has a pen in her hand ready to take notes. Pft, such a nerd. That sight still made me smile just a little bit.

"For your first assignment you and a partner are going to be working together. I expect you and your partner to hold a simple conversation like introducing yourself. The assignment is due by next Friday and you'll present in front of the class. Now for today's lesson."

As I'm doodling in my notebook a note appears on my desk. Seriously? A paper note? Who uses these anymore. I open the note and it's from Adora. It reads "wanna be my partner ;) circle yes or no." She can't be serious. Oh well, she seems smart and can help me pass. I circled yes and wrote "you're a nerd, here's my number and text me like a normal person Blondie." I handed it to Adora.

I watched her open the note and get this shine in her eyes that says she's happy along with a smile. I notice she then pulls her phone out and the next thing I know my phone buzzes. It's her. "Hey there Catra. Am I normal now? Haha. How about we go to your place after practice to get started?" Shit my place. No. Not yet at least. She knows I live in the Frightzone. I'm not ready for her to see where I live. I reply "how about we go get some coffee and work there after practice?"

"Sure sounds great. I love coffee." She even put a coffee emote. Of course.

"Ladies! Phones away. Don't make me say it again." Micah caught us. Oh well, I don't care.

Next thing I know schools over and I'm in the locker room getting ready for practice and I see Adora already half naked getting ready to put her pads on. Man she has a killer body. "Nice muscles there Blondie."

"Uh wha- oh hey Catra," she blushes, maybe from embarrassment. "Thanks. You uh, have a nice body, too." Her cheeks get more red. I notice her eyes scan me up and down. Hopefully she doesn't see some of the scars I have. I'll see you after practice! Still up for coffee right?"

"Yeah yeah. Still up for coffee."
