Catradora oneshots and short stories

Don't judge a book by its cover Part 2

You asked, I delivered! Enjoy :)

The coach blew his whistle.

"Ok everyone! Go on home! I'll see you all next week." He announced. "Good work today."

Adora sagged in relief. The team met up for their farewells and then dismissed. Adora jogged towards the bleachers. The cheer squad were busy practicing on the track, so Adora weaved through the students, high-fiving Bow on the way to the bleachers. Taking a seat, Adora got out her water bottle, taking sips of water as she watched the cheer team.

A few of the female cheerleaders tried to strike up conversation with her, complimenting her and the workout she had just finished. Overall, just fawning. Not really sure what to do, she just stood there and smiled, trying not to seem falsely interested.

Once cheer practice was dismissed, Bow and Glimmer walked over to their usual spot on the bleachers beside Adora.

"You seriously need to work on your flirting skills." Bow shook his head.

Adora raised an eyebrow.

"Why? It's not like I'm interested in any of them. Wouldn't that just be leading them on if I flirt back?"

Glimmer groaned.

"Adora! You're never interested in anyone, ever. I'm starting to think you're aroace. It's ok if you are."

Adora snorted. "I'm not, if you must know. I just....."

Adora shrugged. She looked around, surveying the girls that were all around her. Sure, they were cute, some hot, but they just didn't really catch her eye in that way. The girls in her school weren't her type. Most were either taken or just wanted to fuck all the time or weren't compatible with her. Of course, she tried dating some before, to stop the incessant begging of her two overbearing friends. There was never that click. That feeling people talked about when they've met someone they truly liked. That connection.

Don't get her wrong, Adora wasn't just sitting around waiting for her soulmate to show up, but she couldn't help but occasionally daydream about falling in love and meeting the person she'd spend the rest of her life with. Call it cheesy, but hey. Can't blame a girl for wanting that.

Adora sighed, wrinkling her nose.

"No one here really catches my eye. They're all kind of not my type."

Glimmer sighed. "Well, it's our senior year. Maybe things will change. We heading to your place or to Razz's?"

Adora's stomach growled at the idea of a good burger and fries.

"Razz's. I'm starving." She answered, jumping to her feet.

The trio gathered up their gear. They decided to take Adora's car, throwing their bags in the trunk.

They drove down to Brightmoon's most popular food joint. It was always busy, it being a very popular place for families to come to eat.
Razz, the owner of the establishment, was a sweet but feisty old woman. Adora's older sister and current legal guardian, Mara, was the current head manager. She was about fifteen years older than Adora, but had gone to Brightmoon High herself in the past. She was a legend according to most of the coaches at school, claiming Mara was good at every major sport, but excelled at baseball.

When Mara heard that Adora was the new captain of the team and the star player, she was super excited.

Adora pushed open the door walking into the diner. For a Saturday afternoon, things were pretty calm. Not many people, a couple of families and school kids.
