"So are you three going to the dance next weekend?" Bow asked at Soccer practice that day, earning a look from Catra that clearly said are you kidding me?
"I don't know...I mean I don't do very well with dancing or anything like that in general." Scorpia answered honestly, earning a groan from Catra who lightly nudge her.
"You would love the chance to dress up and show off...So why don't you? I mean honestly who cares what a bunch of egotistical idiots say? Why don't you and Entrapta go together?" Catra said pointedly, earning a ghost of a smile that didn't quite reach the taller girl's eyes.
"Entrapta doesn't exactly like those kinds of things and I'm not going by myself." Scorpia said.
"Why don't you get one of your friends to go with you? I mean it doesn't have to be a date. Friends go to things like that together all the time just because they feel weird about going alone." Bow suggested as they waited on other players to get onto the field.
"What about you Adora? You going to the dance?" he added toward the blonde who just shook her head.
"Not my thing. To be honest I'd only consider going if someone I like asks me." Adora answered before adding "besides, there is no way I can pull off a fancy dress."
Catra couldn't keep from rolling her eyes when she heard those words coming from Adora.
"Oh please, you could pull off anything." She said before walking off toward the field, leaving the others sitting there dumbfounded.
"Did she just...?" Bow began, earning a chuckle from Scorpia
"I think so."
"Catra!"
Catra yelped, jolting in surprise at the sudden voice and hitting her head on her locker in the process.
"Ow! What now Entrapta? Why are you out here anyway, don't you have that computer club thing?" She asked, rubbing at the back of her head as she turned toward the other girl who shrugged.
"I got a rather intresting text from Scorpia but I couldn't believe everything that she said so I came to ask you." she stated, earning a look from Catra who obviously wanted to do nothing more than get in the shower and getting out of her sweaty practice clothes.
"Okay, hurry up." Catra said with a sigh, leaning back against the lockers and crossing her arms across her chest.
What on earth did Scorpia say now? Can everyone just stop playing guessing games against my personal life? She wondered as she waited on Entrapta to figure out how she wanted to ask whatever this was that she had asked.
"Well..." Entrapta began slowly, unsure as how Catra would react to this most resent rumor and not wanting to say something that would set the brunette off "Scorpia thinks that you may be...attracted to Adora."
She watched as Catra's eyes widened then quickly narrowed before she closed the distance between them, lightly pushing Entrapta toward the door.
"Okay, I am not having this conversation with you, Scorpia or anyone else! Out! And you can tell Scorpia I'm going to kill her when I get my hands on her!" Catra stated as she pushed the other girl out before shutting the door and leaning against it.
"great...that is the last thing I need circulating around the school. Jeez...Is everyone I know this damn nosy?" she muttered, rubbing a hand across her face before headed toward the showers, deciding that she could deal with that particular thing later.
Even if I did happen to like her like that, there is no way in hell that she would like someone like me. I mean, yeah, we work as friends but we're from two different worlds. There is no way that Adora would want to be with someone who has nothing to offer.
By the time that Catra was done with her shower Adora, Bow and Glimmer had cleared out—leaving only Entrapta and Scorpia sitting there.
"Before you think that we scared Adora off, Angela came and got her and Glimmer and from the look on Angela's face, something's wrong." Scorpia said holding up both hands as if to defend herself if Catra decided to throw something at her.
Catra didn't however but it didn't go unnoticed by either of her friends how her face clouded over with worry before she quickly schooled her features once again.
"Let's just go. I'll call Adora or something later to see if everything's alright."
