From now on, Catherine Parr will exclusively be called "Cathy", and Catherine of Aragon "Catherine". Katherine Howard will be "Katherine".

"There's no way!" Catherine shook her head as she looked me up and down, trying to find something worthwhile about me, I guess. She shook her head when she failed to do so, walking away. Katherine and Anna walked up behind me, walking with me on our way to history.

When I sat down, Henry's eyes were on me. I gave him a questioning look. This is, like, the only class he has without Catherine, and now he can't keep his eyes off me. I looked over at Anna, who was laughing with Katherine, but when she saw my concerned face, she immediately stopped talking and looked at me in question.

"Henry is staring at me."

"Ew!" Anna looked over at Henry, who was staring at me intently. "Anne, are you gay?"

"Bi."

"Damn, I can't say 'she's gay, buddy'. I use that for myself all the time."

I laughed, but Henry's stare was still haunting me. Katherine looked over at me and said, "Anne, is that Henry weirdo scaring you? Do you want me to ask him to stop?"

"No, Kitty. I don't want you getting hurt."

"I can go ask him to fuck right off," Anna offered, but I shook my head again.

"I can do this for myself." And I did, I got up and confronted Henry. "Hey, dude, stop fucking staring at me."

"What are you complaining about?"

"The fact that you're staring me the fuck down!"

"Listen, girl. You're pret—"

"Fuck off, mate. You have a girlfriend. Leave me be."

In detention, Catherine sat right next to me, staring intently at me as I drew anime Morgan Adams. When I was finishing up on the hair, Catherine grabbed my shoulder and turned me to look at her.

"You're quite... attractive, aren't you?"

"Wha- What?"

"You're attractive. Anne... Boleyn, is it?" She put her hand on my hand, and I nodded. "Truth be told, I'm not fond of Henry."

"Why don't you dump him?"

"Well, he won't let me. He believes that the guy should dump the girl. Every time I try, he shuts me up. Quite frankly, I think I'm not even attracted to guys! But, he promised me popularity, and I wanted it. Now, I don't."

"Ah. I see, I see." I don't see. But, I could listen to Catherine talk for hours, so.

She looked me in the eyes, leaned in closer. I felt my face getting hotter, each breath I took was faster than the last. She was close, and so was I. Our lips were mere inches, centimetres apart.

Then, the teacher came back. "Your detention is over."

Already? And anime Morgan Adams is nowhere near done!
