Chapter 2

                                    

                                          
She woke up, late. Way too late.
She normally would wake up at 7:00 and go to school at 7:30. It was 7:43 now. She was fucked.
Adora jumped out of her bed and immediately put on some clothes. She ran downstairs as she was brushing her teeth and quickly grabbed some fruit and put it in her bag.
She sprinted out of the backdoor and jumped on her bicycle. Never in her live had she cycled so fast. Even with all of that, she was still too late for school.
Luckily for her she had English and her English teacher was the best person you could possibly imagine. When she got into the classroom, her English teacher chuckled.
"Had a rough morning?" she chuckled. Adora only nodded and took her seat in class. She sat in class for a few minutes before she realized something.
Rain. She might have answered. Adora couldn't check this morning and now she was stuck in this stupid class. The only thing she could think about was Rain, maybe she had replied, what would she have said?
Adora decided right in that moment that she could only do one thing. Obviously, that was saying that she was going to the bathroom and quickly going to the library to check on one of the computers if Rain replied.
Was this plan probably going to fail? Yes. definitely. Was she still going to do it because she just simply has to know if Rain replied? Definitely.
Adora put her hand up and waited for the teacher to notice her. When the teacher did, she asked if she could go to the bathroom.
"Sure, kid. But don't take too long, otherwise I'll miss you." the teacher replied. Her teacher was a bit of a weird woman, but Adora and the rest of the class loved her to death.
Adora went out of the classroom and hurried to the library. She had to get there really quickly, since the library wasn't as close to the classroom as the bathroom was.
She had to make sure that she wasn't away for too long, or people would suspect things, weird things. She was so close to the library when a hand stopped her.
"What do you think you're doing, basically running in the hallways?" A stern voice that she knew all too well said. Adora looked up and saw none other than her gymnastics teacher.
Her gymnastics teacher was a nice man, but he was known for walking in the hallways to catch kids skipping class. He handed out detentions like no one else. Adora was screwed.
"Are you going to answer me or are you just going to stand there?" he said with an amused grin on his face. Adora thought of anything that she could say, but she realized that detention was inevitable.
"Uhm, I-I went to the bathroom" Adora tried, but there was no confidence found in her voice.
"Where's your class, Adora?" the teacher said, clearly unimpressed with Adora's attempt at lying. Adora looked down, knowing that it was officially over. She wouldn't be able to make it to the library.
"Room 108" Adora said softly, looking at the ground. "Yup, that's detention right there" the teacher chuckled. "I expect you to be there after school, go back to your classroom now" he said as he walked away.
Adora signed, and walked back to her classroom. She would have a chance of checking her email in her phone during lunch.
Class went by slowly, unbearable slowly. She stared at the wall for the most time thinking about Rain. She wanted to talk to her so badly, she wanted to listen to her stories and tell hers to her.
She would look at the clock every time she thought about ten minutes had passed, only to find out that it was only a few minutes. She didn't even pay attention to what she had to do.
Finally, after what seemed like forever, class ended. She raced to grab her phone only to find out that it wasn't there.
You're joking.
In her hurry, she had left her phone at home. Just her luck. She signed in despair as she walked over to Bow and Glimmer, her best friends.
"You look as depressing as ever, you okay?" Bow asked, a bit of worry in his voice. Glimmer saw her now too and looked at her with a questioning look.
"I'm fine, just tired. Woke up really late today and caught detention" Adora replied, clearly not having her best day.
"I'm so sorry Adora. Hey, do you want to come with us to the theater after detention? The theater kids are really nice and it might help cheering you up" Bow asked, a hopeful look on his face.
Adora signed, she honestly just wanted to go home as fast as possible. She was about to turn him down when she realized something.
"Only if I get to borrow your phone for a few minutes, I really need to check my email for something but I forgot mine in the hurry" Adora asked, playing her best puppy eyes.
Bow handed his phone over with a smile. "You don't even have to ask, I'm so excited for you to meet all the other theater kids! You're going to love them".
Adora smiled at her friend's excitement. Glimmer also looked excited and they started talking about how the theater kids would react to Adora while she was busy logging onto her email.
Finally, she could check her phone and see if Rain had replied. Her heart skipped a beat, she had replied.

SUBJECT: RE answers to your questions
A tv character? That's actually really cute. Let me guess, Lexa from the 100? She was amazing. Of you don't know her, look her up. Thank me later ;)
If you like gay relationships you should really check out "Call me by your name", it's really gay.
The part about thinking you're bisexual is relatable, I had that too for a while. Maybe it's because then you still feel a little bit 'normal'. It's hard to explain, I fully understand what you mean though.
Are you still friends with that guy? What did you say to him when you guys broke up?
I'll tell you my story in a bit, first I of course want to hear more about yours :)
- Rain
Adora smiled as she read the email. She decided that she would reply to her once she gets back home. For now, she logged off and made sure there was no way Bow or anyone else could see the email.
She first had to survive school, after that she could have fun with her friends and meet the theater kids. After that, she could talk to Rain again.
