Chapter 1: The Room-mate
Catra didn't need anyone, that was for certain. She never had anyone to start with so why should she start caring now? After all, where had that ever got her? A broken heart and too many nights crying herself to sleep. Yet here she was, listening to the guidance counselor go on and on about how 'being alone wasn't good for anyone.' and that 'she needed to make some friends'.
And their idea to help her do just that was to assign her a new room-mate—after her and her last one ended up in the infirmary due to getting into a literal fist fight—and she was anything but thrilled by that idea.
"Look, I appreciate what you're trying to do but I don't need friends or whatever." Catra retorted, earning a sigh from the woman behind the desk who tossed a file across the table to her, earning a confused look as the teen's ears pinned back.
"What the heck is this?" she asked, earning a sigh.
"Your record. The past two semesters have been chaos. First, you almost broke Lonnie's arm then you've practically been failing your classes...Or at least your history class. Whatever this is that has you preoccupied you need to let it go or else you're going to end up failing out of this school."
Catra just glared, tossing the file back across the desk.
"Fine, you know what. Whatever, just don't expect me to actually get along with whoever the hell it is!"
With that Catra stormed out, slamming the door behind her before she headed back toward the dorms, only to nearly crash into the last person that she ever wanted to run into.
Adora.
"Whoa! Catra, are you okay? You seem a bit...Out of it?" Adora asked as she offered the cat-girl a hand up, earning a glare in return as Catra got up on her own.
"Nothing that your tiny monkey brain could comprehend."
Catra didn't even wait for a response as before she stalked off.
She didn't stop until she had reached her dorm, only to find the door standing wide open and loud, upbeat, annoying pop music coming from inside.
Oh great, Hope didn't only assign me a new roommate but she made sure it was going to be one of the most annoying people on the planet! She thought, tail lashing around behind her as she braced herself to enter.
"Oh hey Kitty, it's you! I had no idea who they were sticking me with but I am sure glad that it's you!"
Catra didn't know rather be relieved or annoyed by the sound of a familiar voice.
"Scorpia, I told you a million times stop calling me that."
