catra
scorpia didnt accidentally give me your number
she gave it to me on purpose
she told me that
she was giving me the number of this girl
called marie
but she doesn’t know anyone called marie
she just wanted me to
face my fears
because
the truth is
and this is kinda why i was upset that
you didn’t know my name
the truth is
ive kinda had a (mild) crush on you since
like
the third week??? of the semester
yeah
[ 12.31am ]
catra
i know ive given you like
no time to respond
and like you have
every right to be mad
but please respond
like be mad just
please
[ 1.32am ]
catra
i dont mean to be annoying
just that
ive told you and i dont know what
you’re going to think and
i cant sleep
[ 2.44am ]
catra
lol
so about my ‘date’
yeah i kinda
lied about that too
we matched on like tinder
but then she bailed last minute
so yeah
i guess i didn’t tell you because
it helped my whole
i totally don’t have a crush on you
thing
also idk why im telling u all this i guess im just
not sure if theres anything to lose
no offense
i just can’t rly tell if you’re going to come back
idk if thats offensive
sorry idk what im saying im just
ill shut up now
goodnight
[ february 8th, 10.44am ]
adora
Oh
Wow
Sorry I’m seeing these all at once
Okay so
Usually
I wouldn’t be mad
I don’t like being mad
And honestly I’m not even particularly angry
It’s just that
You got snappy with me
And you were the one that bailed
And I understand that whatever the reason is
It’s a sore subject
But it’s just that
There’s enough people in my life
That take whatever they’re feeling out on me
Because they see me as someone
Who can take it
Or who doesn’t fight back
And I’m not saying that you’re not worth it
I just don’t want you to see me as that
And I guess
It’s also exhausting
I know you haven’t given me much reason to believe
That that’s how you would treat me
I guess I just
With my family I can’t control who says what to me
And so I tried to with you by just
Ghosting you
And I don’t really know if you deserved it or not
But I’m sorry
I guess what I’m saying I can handle being
Your punching bag I just don’t like being taken advantage of
I’d rather help you and this doesn’t
Help either of us
Heck I’m typing like you now
Soon I won’t have autocaps
And I guess
I cared more that it was you
Because I um
I’ve come to really like you too
So yeah I guess I should be mad or at least
Appalled that
You lied about Marie and your date but
Very honestly
I’m kind of glad
Wow sorry this is like at least 30 text messages
catra
clearly u dont know how to estimate
that was 48 messages
adora
Are you serious
Is that all you have to say
catra
its not i just
ok this is embarrassing but
i got ur notifs
and
i didnt really know how to respond
but then u were
done texting and i didn’t want you to
leave before i did so i just
came up with like the
worst response to
keep you here
...
since we’re being honest
adora
That’s...really fucking cute
catra
im NOT cute
now shut up
i need time to process
adora
Process what
catra
that you’re a HUGE fucking liar
what do u mean u like me
also
no WAIT stop typing
let me finish
i KNEW no girl could be this perfect
i was right
as for how i treated you
i promise you i don’t see you that way
i never have and
to be VERY honest i didn’t think
you would ever respond
i spent the last i like 2 and a half days just
wondering if i should text you that by the
time i gained the courage you
already responded
and
i did deserve it
i do deserve it i just i’m really glad
you came back
i was afraid i was gonna have to
chase you after chem to
catch your attention
or like take intro to ethics or something
but i’m glad that i don’t have to
not that it wouldn’t be worth it
not that it WOULD either
kidding
but
adora
Wow
I’m offended
catra
SHUT UP
youre not allowed to text back yet
adora
Why
catra
because
if it starts to feel like
i’m ACTUALLY talking to you
i’ll freak out
adora
…
You are actually talking to me
catra
thank u for the insight
now i’m freaking out
adora
OKAY okay I’m sorry finish
catra
right so
back to pretending
um i guess
what I’M trying to say is
i don’t have an excuse for why i didn’t show up
and instead of just accepting that
i snapped at you and even if i was
uncomfortable with like
sharing
or whatever
i could’ve just said so nicely and
not tried to make excuses for myself
so i’m sorry
i’m pretty hot headed and
i don’t mean to make you feel like
i’m taking advantage of you ever
and im sorry your family treats you that way
you don’t deserve it
you’re just too
good for that
so yeah
adora
Wow

catra

are you sure you're comfortable with it
adora
Yeah he’s fourteen
And yeah I promise I wouldn't tell you if I wasn't
catra
okay go on
adora
Anyways about a year ago
We got in a minor car accident
catra
oh
shit
adora
Yeah but we were all fine
Except that they did a brain CT because
He hit his head really hard
And they didn’t find anything wrong from the crash
But they did find a tumor
In his frontal lobe
catra
fuck
adora
Yeah and
Ever since the symptoms have gotten bad
It makes him
Well
Act out
A lot
He’s supposed to get surgery next month
And since he was diagnosed
I’ve been taking care of him
More than anyone else in my family has
I don’t really know why
It just kinda...happened
And so like every time he gets mad
Or anything
Whether it’s at them or me or just
Anything it gets kinda easy to
Take it out on the person
Responsible for taking care of him
I guess
…
catra
i dont really know what i was expecting but
i dont think it was that
i guess i dont know what to say except thats a
really fucking shitty situation
i dont mean to be insensitive
and im sorry you have to put up with that
and i really hope your brother comes out okay
adora
Yeah
It is
Me too
And you weren’t insensitive I promise
You acknowledged it for what it is
Thank you
That felt good to talk about
And not out of necessity but just out of
Wanting to talk
catra
well im glad i could help and that you
felt like you could tell me
even though i didnt really do much but i hope you know
im always here to
listen
at least
i really really am
adora
Thanks Catra
That means a lot
And you know
That goes both ways
catra
yeah
thanks
well
