Catra's pov and this is in middle school

Okay so now we are going to get into the mystery and Catra's past part of the story. Finally

Beep beep. I groaned and rolled over to silence my alarm clock. "Catra wake up". "Uh five more minutes." "Do I need to get ms.Weaver?" I shot up and looked around to see Lonnie. "No that won't be necessary" I said quickly as I hopped out of bed. I ran to my dresser drawer and grabbed my black t-shirt and black pants. I ran down stairs. "Catra are you ready?" Ms.Weaver asked with venom in her voice. "I haven't eaten anything yet." I said to her. "That doesn't matter to me you filthy animal. Now get in the back of the truck." We all walked outside and hopped into the back of her truck. She got in the front and started driving over the speed limit. She parked infront of Horde middle school. "You have 5 seconds to get out you vermin or you can have a nice time jumping out of a moving vehicle. Hopefully you die." Why did she volunteer to work at a foster home if she only wants us dead? We all hopped out of the truck as fast as we could. I was on the back about to jump off when she started driving. My hand slipped off the back of the truck and I fell on my face skidding backwards. "Catra oh my god are you okay?" Lonnie asked as she ran up beside me. Rogelio came on the other side and they helped me up. "Yeah I've been through worse and you guys know it." "That's true like that guy you saved me from punched you in the face and almost strangled you to death." Lonnie said looking at me. Is she still worried about me? "Lonnie, that was a week ago" I said. "I know but you can still see the black eye" She said motioning to my face. She has been a lot nicer to me since that happened. "Like I said i'm fine." I said as I pulled out of Rogelio and Lonnie's grip. "Hey Catra maybe you should go to the nurses office." Kyle said from in front of me. "SHUT UP KYLE" I yelled. He shrunk down onto the ground. I walked away from them and walked inside. All the kids looked at me and stepped aside and let me through because they were afraid of me, and with good reason to. And that's when I met her. The girl that I thought I would spend the rest of my life with. "Oh my god King Catra are you okay?" I looked up and saw a black haired girl with the tips dyed purple. She is beautiful. "Yeah I'm fine" I told her with a smirk on my face. "Oh that's good" She said as she smiled at me. I felt happy when I was near her. Sure I felt happy near Lonnie, Rogelio, and even Kyle when we are playing shows or just hanging out, but that's because we grew up together. I have never met her before so why am I so happy to be around her? "Well I better be going" I said. "Oh okay" She said, kinda upset. I don't want her to be sad. "Hey what if you hung out with me and my friends after school today?" I asked her. I could hear people gasp, her included. "Sure!" She said excitedly. "Cool meet us at the McDonald's on She-Ra boulevard and Proficy street" I told her. "Okay I'll be there" She said. I nodded my head and walked off.

Time skip because school is starting and we don't need to hear about it before it starts.

I walked out to the front of the building. "Hey Catra" I turned around and saw Rachel. "Hey Rachel how was your day?" I asked her. "Each same as every other day." She said. "Yeah but you're a sophomore so something had to happen." I said. "No nothing new" She said. "Alright whatever. Also I invited someone to meet with us at Mcd's today" I told her. "Who?" She asked. "A girl I didn't get her name but I met her today and when I told her that I had to go she seemed sad so I invited her so she wouldn't be sad." I told her. "Oh okay." She said with a smile on her face. "What?" I asked her. "You try so hard to act all high and mighty but on the inside you're just a big softie" She said getting closer to me with every word. "I AM NOT" I yelled at her. "Yes you are" She said back. "AM NOT" I yelled. "Y-" Just then Lonnie, Rogelio and Kyle came out. "Hey Catra what's up?" Lonnie asked. "Not much just Rachel saying I am a softie. Which I am NOT by the way." I said looking at Rachel who just laughed. "Why would she call you a softie?" Lonnie asked. "Because she invited a random girl to hang with us just so she wouldn't be sad." "Oh maybe she is going soft" Lonnie said teasingly. I got really angry and gave them both the death glare. When they noticed my glare they shut up. "Okay let's go guys" I said with a smug grin on my face because as usual I was victorious in the fight.

Time skip to McDonald's because why not

We sat down as Rachel ordered us our food. We had done this so many times that we had all memorized each other's orders. Lonnie's was a big mac with fries. Kyle's was a chicken sandwich with a Mcfrappe Yes I do this sometimes don't hate. Rogelio's was two cheeseburgers and a large fry. Rachel's was a Mcdouble and a sprite. Mine was a double quarter pounder with bacon, a small fry and a medium drink. Rachel came back with our food a few minutes later. We were sitting and talking about school and life in general. When a familiar face walked in. She looked around and when she saw me she waved. I waved back and then went back to eating. About 5 minutes later she came and sat down with us. "Hey guys my name is Alexandra". She said "Hey" we all said. "So what did you order?" Lonnie asked. "Why do you need to know?" She asked back. "Because in this group we memorize each others orders" Rachel said. "Oh well I got a double quarter pounder with bacon, a small fry and a medium coke." She said. "Wow, that's the same as Catra's," Kyle said. "Really?" She asked. "Yeah" I said. "Wow this might just be the start of a great friendship" She said. "It might just be" I said back.

Don't worry Alexandra is not another crush or old girlfriend but is still a major part of Catra's past and the next chapter will be short sorry
