Wow, that's quite a sexy story you got there Aimee.
I can't help but feel kind of jealous of that girl though. I would've loved the sight of you doing that, even though it would be very awkward.
I actually have a question that I've been wanting to ask you, but I feel like it's to personal. Remember that a few weeks ago you said that oreos are better than sex? I thought it was just one of your little dork things. But I'm still wondering, are you a virgin?
Oh god, I can't believe I'm actually asking you this.
Oh god, I can't believe I'm hitting send.

God, I know. My awkwardness is the most sexy thing on this earth if you must know. To answer your question, I'm still a virgin (obviously lol).
I don't really have any experience on that front if I'm completely honest. I almost had sex with a boyfriend, but it just felt so wrong that I had to stop it.
I still just know that oreos are better than sex. I've tasted oreos, they're heaven on earth. Sure, sex might be nice nd stuff, but against oreos? Oreos win, no doubt.

Good to know, I don't know why, but I feel kind of relieved that you didn't end up doing it with that guy. I'm glad that you were able to stop it, it means that you're able to stand up for yourself. I'm really proud of you for that. You're a really good person Aimee.
Love, Rain

Thank you :) I'd say you're a really good person too. You're funny, you're sweet. You even accept my love for cavetown. It's rare to find someone like that. I'm glad that I met you.
Love, Aimee

Adora couldn't help but notice that Rain finished her email with 'Love'. Maybe Rain liked her, Adora hoped so at least.
She still had no idea who Rain was. She definitely wants to know though. Rain was funny, she was smart, she was sweet and she never judged Adora for anything.

Rain was everything anyone could ever want in life. Adora wanted to know who she was, she wanted to hug her and watch movies with her.

She wanted to know who Rain was so so badly, but she knew that Rain probably doesn't want to reveal herself yet, she's a pretty private person.

Adora went to school that day wondering if she would see Rain without knowing it.

When she got to school everything seemed so normal but the only thing she could do is look at all the girls her age and wonder if one of them is Rain.

During break she found Bow and Glimmer and went to sit with them as usual. She second they saw her she was immediately engulfed in a hug.

"Oh my god we're so sorry that we left you alone" Bow said while he and Glimmer were squeezing Adora.
"It's all okay guys. I know what happened wasn't ideal but things happen" Adora said, trying to calm the two down.

Glimmer and Bow didn't calm down though, they still continued to hug her and squeeze her. Adora almost thought that they were worse than Mara when she's worried.

The entire break was just Adora being treated like a toddler who had fallen and injured herself. Bow and Glimmer kept saying that they would never do it again, how sorry they were and how worried they were.

Adora appreciated it, she truly did. But she had already had this with Mara the day before. Mara spend basically the entire day at Adora's side and she felt guilty for making people so worried about her.

She didn't want people to be worried about her, it felt awkward, it felt weird. Adora had always been the one taking care of herself before she got adopted. After she got adopted, her entire life was flipped upside down.

She had always learned to stay out of sight when sick, to take care of herself and hide anything that would make her weak. She was thought to build up her walls, to make sure no one would be able to hurt her. It's easier build up your walls and not let anyone in than to let people in and allow them to hurt you.

Adora had always been like that, always taking care of herself.

That was until she got adopted by a weird woman with a teenage girl. She was completely mute when she got there. She wouldn't say anything, she would only nod and shake her head while she sat in the corner.

She always used to be a little bit afraid of Razz and Mara. Not because they were scary or intimidating, but because she always assumed people would hurt her.

Eventually she said ''yeah'' and ''no''. That eventually turned into actually speaking and being able to give real answers.
She loved Mara and Razz, they were great. She loved Bow and Glimmer, they were also great. But all of this was just a lot, way too much right now.

Adora felt something coming up that she hadn't felt in a while. Her heart was beating faster, her breathing became uneven.

She wanted to run from everyone, she wished she would just disappear into the ground. Everything was just so overwhelming, it was too much, way too much.

She managed to get out of their grip and she could see their mouths move but she wasn't listening. Everything sounded muffled, all the sounds and all the people. She knew there were sounds, but she couldn't register them.

Before she knew it, she was running. She ran across the halls and into a few people, she heard them yelling something but it was all a blur to her.

The bell rang, people were going to their classes and Adora finally stopped running. When it got somewhat quiet she was able to calm down.

She sat down on a bench and put her head in her hands in defeat. She should be in class right now, she will definitely get in trouble right now. But she doesn't care, she really doesn't.

She keeps sitting there for a few minutes, wallowing in her own guilt. She noticed that a shadow came closer to where she was sitting.

She looked down the hall and saw none other than the school's bully. She internally panicked, Hordak was always known to be a rough kid. He was mean, hurt people and never showed mercy to anyone.

Adora knew that today might be one of her worst days, and that's saying something. Hordak came closer and she stood up from where she was sitting and walked away.

Or at least try to.

"you better stop right now if you know what's good for you'' Adora cringed at Hordak's voice. She stopped dead in her tracks and took a deep breath.

She had to be brave and she had to make sure she didn't seem scared. ''What do you want Hordak?'' she said in her brave voice, but every idiot could her the shakiness of it.

Hordak came closer to the point where he stood uncomfortably close, towering over her with ease. Adora had to stop herself from flincing.

''Let's see what's in your bag, huh?'' he said as he grabbed her bag. He grabbed a few things and threw them on the floor until he found her phone.

He quickly checked before saying the worst thing he could have said.

''So who's Rain? You're lesbian lover?'' he grinned. Adora wanted to disappear for the second time that day.

''She's no one important'' Adora responded lying through her teeth. Rain was important, she was so important, she was the only reason Adora checked her phone.

''So she is someone important! You're a little dyke aren't you? Dreaming about you're little girlfriend?'' Hordak teases, smiling.

Adora really was having the worst day of her life. ''This is how it's going to work, kid. You're going to do all my homework and make sure I only get straight A's. If I get anything less than that, I'm going to tell the entire school you're gay.'' Hordak said.

Adora was almost raped a few days ago and now she's being blackmailed. Her life just can't get any better can it?"
Hordak pushed her into the wall and walked away. Adora slid down the wall and sat there for a while before getting all her stuff.

Her life was officially over now. She just ruined everything.
