And They Were Roomates: A Catradora Story

chapter 3

   Catra had Potions that day. When she realized that, she scowled. Potions class was one of the only classes she shared with Adora.

   Catra tried to avoid seeing Adora outside of their room. Seeing her forbidden crush more often than necessary made it harder for Catra to keep her feelings under wraps. However, more often than not, Catra would find herself absentmindedly following Adora around the school. It was a habit she was trying to break, and as the spell went, out of sight, out of mind. So yeah, Catra was not exactly pleased by having to see Adora.

   Catra walked into the Potions classroom and set down her things on a desk on the left side of the classroom. A minute later, she watched Adora walk in with her friend...Sparkles? or was it Glitter?

   Sparkles glanced at Catra briefly with an unimpressed look. Catra sent a snarky sneer right back at her. Adora sighed and grabbed Glitter's arm, pulling her towards two desks on the other side of the classroom.

   Twenty minutes into the Potions lesson, and the professor was still droning on and on about how the direction you mix a potion could affect the outcome. Catra could have cared less about this information, and was very busy staring out the window and daydreaming about running through the woods holding hands with a certain someone.

   Professor Shadoweaver called Catra's name three times before Catra snapped out of her deep thinking. Catra's tan face reddened slightly from embarrassment.

   "Catra, if you aren't too.... preoccupied, would you please tell me the answer to the question I just asked?"

   Catra grimaced and quickly prepared herself to be scolded for not paying attention, but it turned out she wouldn't need it. At that moment, a small dragon burst through the ceiling and landed in the middle of the room.
