Adora woke up to an 11 year old staring at her.
"Frosta," Adora started hesitantly, "what are you doing?"
"Spinnerella told me to wake you up." Frosta was positioned on top of Adora's legs. She was already dressed in her school uniform which only happened a couple minutes before she would leave to get dropped off at school. Noticing this, Adora's eyes got wide as she looked at the cold face of her foster sister.
"What time is it?" Adora asked, not moving from her bed.
"Almost 7." Adora pushed Frosta off of her and frantically started getting ready for school.
"Are you serious?" Adora was starting to raise her voice at the child and was quickly running back and forth from her bathroom to look presentable but also getting all her stuff together.
"How long were you staring at me?"
"Just a couple of minutes." Frosta blankly stared as Adora hectically put on her clothes. She ran down the stairs and Frosta followed slowly behind. Adora ran past her foster mothers to grab an apple and some lunch money.
"Can I take the car? I'm late." Adora turned to Spinnerella and used her puppy dog eyes that always seemed to work.
"Um." Spinnerella turned to Netossa and they whispered back and forth. Adora could barely make out what the ladies were saying, but she didn't care, she just needed to get to school. "Do you think Netossa could drop you off real quick?" Spinnerella asked softly.
Adora thought for a bit, but then remembered it didn't matter because she just needed to get to school and she was already late. "That's fine we just need to go now." Netossa nodded and quickly grabbed all she needed. She kissed her wife and hugged Frosta before following an agitated and tired Adora out the door. Adora and Netossa got in the car and drove away immediately.
"Did you find out if you made the team yet?" Netossa asked, breaking the silence. Netossa was never good at starting conversations.
"Oh yeah," Adora completely forgot about telling anyone. "I found out last night." Silence filled the car again and Netossa awkwardly looked at Adora waiting for an answer. Adora just looked back at Netossa for a moment before noticing she hadn't actually said if she made the team or not. "Oh yeah wait," Adora stuttered making Netossa giggle a bit as they got closer to the school. "I made it. I'm pitcher."
"Well that's great, I'm proud of you." Netossa smiled and kept driving. Adora felt a warmness in her heart and was glad that she could finally feel this way.
After getting to the school, Adora grabbed her stuff and said goodbye to Netossa. She quickly ran to the building and cursed under her breath as she noticed that she had no idea where her classroom was. She wandered around trying to find the room number that she was supposed to be in. After walking around for a couple minutes, she looked into one of the windows and noticed Catra. Adora tried to open the door quietly, but failed in doing so. As she opened the door, everyone turned and stared at her. Ms. Perfuma stopped her lesson and crossed her arms while staring at Adora angrily.
"Nice of you to finally join Adora." Ms. Perfuma looked at Adora disappointingly and waited for a reply.
"Uh, sorry?" Adora didn't know what to do so she just shrugged and nervously smiled.
"Please take a seat." Ms. Perfuma didn't even wait for Adora to do anything and went back to teaching. Adora walked over to the only seat that was left available. The one next to Catra. Catra chuckled and looked over at Adora.
"Glad you could make it Blondie." Catra smirked leaving Adora flustered for reasons she didn't understand. Adora could feel her cheeks warm up and quickly looked down at her desk.
"R - really?" Adora stuttered, embarrassing herself even more and gaining even more heat to her cheeks.
"Yeah, I hate being around these nerds." Catra laid her chin on her hand and rolled her eyes, not caring if anyone around them heard.
"And what makes you think I'm not a nerd?" Adora asked, regaining her confidence and smiling back at the girl. Catra's eyes widened and she looked at the smiling girl with a slight red tint added to her face. She quickly regained her composure and laughed. Adora felt the heat coming back to her cheeks and couldn't stop looking at Catra with bright eyes.
"Adora, Catra, please stop talking while I'm talking." Ms. Perfuma seemed annoyed, but didn't stop her lesson.
"Look, I've seen your legs," Catra whispered, trying not to annoy the teacher any more. "You've got muscles, and you don't seem to be interested in all that nerdy stuff."
"Uh thanks, i guess." Adora was a bit confused. She didn't know if that was just a plain compliment or if there was something else behind it. Was Catra flirting with her? Adora ignored that thought and tried her hardest to listen to Ms. Perfuma, but she couldn't help but look over at the girl next to her who had fallen asleep and was almost purring. Adora kept that image in her head all day and kept thinking back on it. As lunch rolled around, Adora had almost forgot about her first class. She met up with Bow and Glimmer and sat down at the same spot they sat yesterday.
"Hey guys." Adora said with a bright smile on her face. She talked to her two friends about making the team, waking up late because of how late she went to sleep, and walking into class late. "Ms. Perfuma is a little scary."
"Oh yeah, she can get like that when someone aggravates her." Bow said this as the three teens got in line for lunch.
Glimmer could see the worried look on Adora's face and tried to reassure her. "I'm sure Perfuma will get used to you."
"Gee thanks." Adora felt a little upset that she might aggravate her teacher.
"So softball," Bow added while sitting back down at their table and taking a bite out of his hamburger. "So glad you made it." Bow smiled with half a mouthful of food.
Adora blushed and looked down at her tray. "Thanks." The rest of lunch consisted of Adora, Bow, and Glimmer talking about Minecraft and Vines. Maybe Adora was a nerd. Adora got through her classes without any trouble, but she had loads of homework that she would have to do. She went to the softball field to get ready for practice and looked at everyone who made the team. She noticed some people. but didn't remember seeing some of the other girls. The first practice basically consisted of everyone getting to know each other. Adora learned more things about Mermista and Lonnie and some of her other teammates. They finished practice off with a friendly game which Adora's team won. After practice Adora changed back into her old clothes and walked back out into the parking lot. She cursed under breath as she remembered she didn't have a car or a ride. She stood in the middle of the parking lot with her head in her hands.
"Hey Blondie." Adora heard a familiar voice and turned around to see Catra smirking and putting on her leather jacket.
"Uh, my name's Adora." Adora replied nervously, feeling the new familiar heat reaching her cheeks.
"Hey Adora." Catra replied still smirking. "Need a ride?"
"Uh yeah actually."Adora walked closer to the other girl as a small smile grew on her face. "Lemme give you my address."
"I'll also take your number." Catra winked, leaving Adora flustered.
"Uh sure here." Adora took Catra's phone and entered in all her information.
"Would you also like to get something to eat?" Catra asked nervously.
"Yeah that sounds nice." Adora smiled.
"Here take my helmet." Catra gave Adora her helmet and they got on Catra's motorcycle. They started driving off and Adora immediately tightened her grip on Catra out of fear. Catra smiled and drove away from the school. Maybe Catra wasn't so bad.
