Catra's POV

The car stopped in front of the house. I looked over to Catrica but turned my head away quickly. She didn't deserve any respect from me, nor my attention. She scratched my eye and didn't even say sorry about it!

"Get out of the car now!" Mom yelled, "Both of you!" I opened the car door and walked at a normal past to the front door as Mom opened it. I didn't know where Catrica was, but I was assuming she was behind me, not wanting to look behind me to check if she was. If I did look behind me, then we both would've made eye contact with each other. 

As we reached to the front door, Mom opened the door then slammed it behind her. I didn't do anything, and just opened the door and walked it, but I didn't close it since Catrica was behind me. 

I saw Mom marching up the stairs "OH, YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT THESE KIDS DID ON THEIR FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!" Mom yelled to Dad, "THEY DIDN'T EVEN WAIT A DAY!"

"What happened?" Dad said back, looking at Mom. 

I was just downstairs watching them talk to each other, although my eye did hurt. The vision for it was sort of blurry too, thank God for giving me two eyes. 

"THEY BOTH GOT INTO A FIGHT AT SCHOOL!" Mom yelled, like how she always does, "THEY HAVE NO FUTURE IF THEY KEEP ON DOING THIS, DO THEY WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE OR WHAT?!"

Dad looked at us with a terrible look, "Why didn't I expect this? You guys are-" Dad said as he stopped, "Catra, what happened to your eye?"

I turned my attention to Catrica. At that point, we both finally made eye contact with each other. "Ask her." I said back as I looked away from her. 

"Oh, my gosh..." Dad said as he began walking downstairs, "CATRICA, HOW COULD YOU?!" Dad yelled, "DID CATRA MAKE YOU THAT UPSET?!"

And as always, they always find a way to blame me to Catrica's actions. Anger rose in me as Dad said that. I tolerated his actions before, but this made me more upset.

"Okay," I said to him, "So I'm getting in trouble for Catra getting ME hurt?!" I said back to him in anger.

"Catrica would never try to hurt you!" Dad yelled, "You of course started it!"

"WELL-" I said, but I realized that I threw the first hit, "BUT CATRICA WAS TRYING TO SAY THAT I'M TOO SCARED TO THROW THE FIRST HIT, SO I WAS PROVING HER WRONG!" 

"DO NOT RAISE YOUR VOICE AT ME! IT'S ALWAYS YOU CAUSING PROBLEMS, IT'S AS IF ALL OF OUR HARD WORK OF GROWING YOU UP IS GOING TO WASTE!"

"OH, REALLY?!" I said back as I raised my voice even more, "AT LEAST I'M NOT A SPOILED BRAT GETTING 10% ON EVERY TEST I DO! AT LEAST WORK HARD FOR MY GRADES AND NOT BE LAZY LIKE CATRICA! YOU GUYS ARE NEVER GRATEFUL FOR ALL MY HARD WORK, AND I DON'T THINK YOU GUYS WOULD EVER BE GRATEFUL." 

"Who do you think you're talking to?"

"You."

"DO NOT SPEAK TO YOUR FATHER LIKE THAT!" Mom yelled at me from the stairs.

"I'LL NOT SPEAK TO HIM LIKE THAT WHEN HE REALIZES THAT CATRICA IS THE PROBLEM! YOU KNOW WHAT, MOM?! YOU WERE RIGHT. I WISH SHE WAS NEVER MY TWIN SISTER!" I said as tears came down from my eyes as I marched upstairs, passed Mom. 

No one said a word to me, they just watched me walk upstairs. No matter what, I'm always the problem! I could seriously sit down and stare at a wall for the whole day and yet still get accused of one of Catrica's actions. 

I slammed my room door as I laid in my bed and started crying. After, I heard screaming from downstairs. It was Dad and Mom screaming at Catrica.  

I never knew they would do that! They normally go on Catrica's side, and not mine due to Catrica being their favorite. I slowly walked out of my room and looked downstairs as I saw them yelling at her. 

"SO, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO EXPLAIN WHY YOU SCRATCHED HER EYE?!" Dad yelled in total anger, "THAT'S IT. YOU'RE GROUNDED FOR A MONTH!"

"WHAT?!" Catrica yelled back in fear, "YOU CAN'T DO THAT!"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY I CAN'T DO THAT?! DO YOU WANT ME TO ADD AN EXTRA MONTH OF YOU BEING GROUNDED!" Catrica didn't say a word after that, "THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT, GO TO YOUR ROOM NOW!"

I quickly ran back to my room after he said that, hoping for them not to see me. We had school tomorrow anyways, so I guess I should just start getting ready for bed. 

So much for the FIRST day of school!

Adora's POV

*RING, RING, RING! *

I slapped the alarm clock right off the desk. I HAVE ART THERAPY TODAY! There was no escape from it either, Hordak had already signed me up for it yesterday. I started getting ready for my day slowly so I could probably miss the bus or something. I don't want to be early for this. 

I looked outside to see the bus pass by my house as it stopped at my neighbor's house. I silently cheered as the bus went away from the house. 

"Guess who's not being early to art class," I thought out loud with a laugh, "ME!" I got my backpack and began to walk to school, but at a slow past. I didn't even bother transforming into She-Ra, I can take all the time that I need. 

***

About 30 minutes passed, and I arrived at the front of the school. I was 15 minutes late for art therapy. Dangit! I should've been later for this class. I walked into the building slowly as I made it to the stairs. Art therapy was downstairs, so I went downstairs for the class. As I was walking, I felt someone touch my shoulder. I looked behind me and rolled my eyes at who I saw, but with a smile too. 

"Hey, Adora." Catra said. 

"What do you want?" I said back. Maybe if I start a conversation with her, I could probably be late to class! 

"Oh, nothing. Where are you going?"

"MR. HORDAK SIGNED ME UP FOR ART THERAPY SINCE I WAS SUCH A GOOD BASKETBALL PLAYER!" 

Catra laughed, "Oh, that sucks! See you soon, I guess."

"Oh, wait." I said, trying to start another conversation, "What happened at the principal's office yesterday?"

"Oh, uhm haha! He just called my parents, that's all!"

"Are you okay? You're acting strange, plus I'm surprised you didn't start having attitude on me yet."

"Oh, yeah. Yet." 

I just looked at her when she said that. I know she gives threats most of the time, but this seemed more like a threat than usual.

"Okay, weirdo. I'm going now." I said as I began walking down the stairs.

"Take care, Adora!" Catra said back, happily than usual. 

I started walking down the stairs as I heard Catra approaching me. "Do you need anything else?" I said to her.

"Not really." She said back, "I just need to do this one thing." She said as she began coming closer and closer to me. I saw her look down the stairs and smirk. 

After, she pulled me into a hug. "Thank you, for everything!" She said.

"You're welcome... I guess." I said as I returned the hug.

That was the last thing I did.

"She's awake!" A lady with a mask said.
