Chapter 12

                                    

                                          
She was at the carnival with Bow and Glimmer, they were all having fun. It was a moment for her to let go and spend some time with her friends.
                          
They did some of the games, ate way too much sugar and probably did everything you shouldn't be doing at their age.
Time flew by and she knew Bow and Glimmer would love to go somewhere at 6:30 and it was getting closer. Adora knew the time had come, she felt a now familiar feeling in her stomach.
                          
She had the shirt on that she got form Rain, maybe it was too much?
                          
She said goodbye to Bow and Glimmer and went to wait at the ferris wheel. After five minutes of waiting, she started playing a game on her phone.
                          
After ten minutes, she started pacing around.
                          
After twenty minutes, it started raining. Because of course it did.
                          
After thirty minutes, Adora was about to leave. She felt her heart in her stomach, she was really disappointed.
Rain wasn't coming. She probably read the email and decided to not go, Adora felt her heart sink into her stomach at the thought.
                          
It was a kind of disappointment that she had only experienced a few times in her life. It wasn't the kind of disappointment that you get when you can't go to MacDonald or get ice cream.
                          
It was the kind of disappointment that hurt, it felt numb but at the same time it felt as if every single emotion is attacking her.
                          
She feels everything and nothing at the same time.
                          
She was about to go when she heard footsteps running behind her, she heard someone calling her voice.
                          
She turned around to see someone running closer to her, absolutely soaked and out of breath. She squinted her eyes trying to see who it was.
                          
It was Catra.
                          
''hey Adora'' Catra said in her casual voice, but she was so completely out of breath that it sounded different than she wanted it to sound.
                          
It was silent for a while. Catra was still catching her breath and Adora was completely confused.
                          
''I like your shirt'' Catra said awkwardly. It didn't seem like Catra, she seemed really flustered. Adora felt her heart skip a beat.
                          
''it's you'' Adora breathed.
                          
''I know I'm late'' Catra replied.
                          
Adora stood there looking at Catra. It was Catra, of course she was. Rain was amazing, Catra was amazing. Rain was cute, Catra was cute. How did she not see it?
                          
''I'm so glad your still here, I thought I'd miss you. I just got your text and I ran three miles'' Catra said.
                          
''you ran three miles!?'' Adora said, shocked that Catra had done that, in normal clothes and in the rain.
                          
''of course, anything for you. Did you really think I wouldn't have done anything to catch up to you?'' Catra said, there was this glint in her eyes, it was loving, it was warm.
                          
Adora smiled at her, she still couldn't believe Rain was Catra. It almost seemed to perfect to be true.
                          
Catra chuckled, ''so you really had no idea it was me?'' she asked. She had her head tilted to the side cutely.
                          
''not a clue'' Adora said, looking at Catra as if she was the most perfect human being. Adora quickly found herself again, ''why didn't you want to tell me your name?'' she asked, it was something she had been wondering for so long.
                          
''honestly I figured that if you really wanted to know, you would've figured it out'' Catra said.
                          
''but you never left me any clues'' Adora said.
                          
''I did, my email. It's cats and dogs but the cat part is missing, because that's in my name. Cat. Catra'' Catra said, smiling.
                          
''god I'm such an idiot'' Adora said, Catra just chuckled. ''it's okay'' she smiled, pulling her into a hug. Catra was completely soaked but Adora didn't care, she hugged her back.
                          
''it would've been unfair for me to think you'd figure it out'' Catra said.
                          
''But you did figure it out'' Adora said, still feeling kind of guilty that she didn't find out it was Catra.
                          
''I mean.. Aimee? It wasn't really rocket science'' Catra laughed, before continuing.
                          
''and I guess.. I kind of wanted it to be you. I really like you Adora, I wanted it to be you since the moments met you. I loved sitting on the roof with you. You're amazing Adora'' Catra hummed.
                          
Adora smiled at her before speaking ''I still can't believe you ran three miles in the rain for me'' she laughed, looking at Catra who was completely drenched.
                          
''I must really like you'' Catra said.
                          
Adora looked at the ground shyly before saying ''I really want to hold your hand''.
                          
''then do it'' Catra said.
                          
And Adora does.
                          
If it wasn't raining right now, they definitely would have played some games together and spend way too much money.
Catra laughed ''it's kind of funny that's it's raining right now''.
                          
Adora chucked ''yeah it is''.
                          
''Adora?"
                          
''yeah?''
                          
Catra sighed contently, looking at Adora's hand in hers. ''do you want to go out on a date later this week?'' she asked, she seemed kind of nervous.
                          
Adora laughed and suddenly felt a rush of confidence. She gave Catra's cheek a little peck and said ''of course''.
                          
Adora and Catra were both smiling and blushing like crazy.
