A/N: HELLO AGAIN :D YES, I'm taking a break from my other story for a short moment, to make this one. I really hope you like it, and please excuse my amateur writing skills ;_; I just started, but anyways, enjoy~~

Korra's POV

"GOOD MORNING REPUBLIC CITY! Welcome to the morning show with your hos—" the alarm clock yelled obnoxiously before I ended up earthbending it into the ceiling, silencing it permanently. I dread the mornings I have to get up early, like this one.

"Korra! That's the third one this week!" Pema scolded, pulling the covers off of me. "Pema!" I groaned, so wishing it was still summer.

In case you're wondering, I'm Korra, the avatar. Yeah, big woop and all that. I recently came to Republic City to learn my airbending with Tenzin. But I had not anticipated the possibility of going to a public high school; waking up early, going to classes every day. I guess this is my punishment for sneaking off to Republic City on my own.

"Korra, today's your first day and you're still being impossible. Come on now, Asami will be here any minute waiting for you," Pema notified, picking up the pieces of what used to be my alarm clock.

"I'll get it," I assured her, finally getting out of bed. That was the least I could do, seeing that Tenzin welcomed me into his home, they fed me and all. Plus Pema's six months pregnant, which must be hard on her.

Pema got up and rubbed her bulging belly, looking at it longingly. "Alright then, make sure you get ready soon," Pema said, then went out the room so I could get ready. I sighed, and put on my usual outfit; a plain light blue halter top, skin-tight dark blue jeans and brown high tops. Looking in the mirror, I thought I looked pretty damn good. Although, Asami kept pestering me on and on about trying some strange, black stuff called mascara. She kept saying "It'll bring out your eyes." Ha. I'd love to see the day I'd ever wear makeup. I don't know how girls stand the stuff.

I just finished putting my hair up when I heard the familiar ringtone go off in my pocket. I pulled my phone out to see a text message from Asami.

Asami: "Hurry up and get your ass in the car, I've been waiting out here for five minutes!"

I grinned at her message and quickly grabbed my bag, running out of my room.

I saw Ikki and Meelo running around in circles around their mother on those strange balls of air. I wonder if that'd get me to school fast enough.

"Here's your lunch," Pema said, handing me a bag. "Thanks, Pema," I yelled back, running out the door, feeling the heat beating down mercilessly as soon as I got out. I saw Asami's sleek black mustang with pink stripes running all around the sides of it; Asami was thumping her finger on the wheel of her car impatiently, smiling at me though. I grinned back and jumped in.

"It's about time, you were going slower than a lion-turtle," Asami teased, pulling the car into reverse and then making her ways towards the school. I rolled my eyes at her comment; "Yeah yeah, whatever," I mumbled. Asami smiled; "So how's it feel, going to a public school for the first time?" she inquired.

To be honest, I was nervous as hell, and the butterflies in my stomach just felt like they were giving birth to more every second. I've been tutored by the White Lotus men my whole life, and they thought it wouldn't be safe if I was to go to a public school. "You'll get captured," they said. Psh, I'd love to see anyone try. I don't show the mental nervous wreck I'm going through though.

"I'm pretty excited really! But looks who's talking Ms. Sato, this'll be your second year, am I right?" I replied. Asami looked down a little flushed.

"Yeah, my dad was pretty worried about me, being the daughter of the future machines creator, he thought someone would capture me for ransom," she explained.

"I can protect myself though," she said and she wasn't lying either. She could take on ten people at a time and still win if she wanted; she was the type of girl you wouldn't want to fuck with. But besides that, Asami's really sweet and kind; one of the nicest people I've ever met too. We get along pretty well, even if I do drag her in a couple of crazy situations at times.

"Well, we're here," Asami announced. I looked up and was awestruck by all the big buildings that was just a school. I saw all the random teenagers in groups, laughing and talking freely, others just sitting under trees and reading, and I saw the huge letters on the front of the school. "Republic City High School: Where Everyone is Equal"

Interesting saying. "You coming or what?" Asami asked, already out of the car. "Yeah, just looking. This place is huge!" I observed. Asami laughed at my obvious comment. "Of course it is, it's a school, what did you expect?"

I didn't really think about it to be honest. "I don't know, I just didn't expect this," I replied, still looking around.

We then walked inside and I saw banners and posters slapped on the walls, people opening and shutting their lockers, everyone scattered about across the halls. Maybe high school would be fun after all. I ended up walking astray from Asami, who was basically my guide to everything in the school.

"Come on, we need to get our schedules," she said, pulling me over to a small, cluttered room called the Office. An old woman around the age of 40 frantically looks through papers and writing down numbers for other working in the building. Asami coughs, trying to get her attention. The woman looks up, seeing us.

"Oh! Ms. Sato, hello. How are you?" the woman says, smiling brightly. Asami just replies a little sheepishly

"I'm fine; please don't call me that though. Just Asami is fine. Oh, could we get our schedules for this year..?" she asks. The woman then understands, and opens up a tab on her computer.

"Okay…Asami Sato," she says to herself, typing in her name and then printing out her schedule. "Here you go, sweetie," she says, smiling brightly towards her. "Thank you," Asami responds, then elbows me and gives me a look that says I should ask for mine as well.

"Um, could I get mine too, please?" I awkwardly ask. The woman looks up at me again, and turns toward the computer. "Name please," she asks simply. "Korra Mitsuko," I answer her. She looks up through her glasses at me astonished.

"The avatar Korra?" she asks, doubtfully. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, a little sick of people asking me the same damn thing. "Yes ma'am, that would be me," I replied in the nicest voice I could bring up. She raises an eyebrow at me, very skeptical. Oh, so she didn't believe me?

I saw a cup of water beside her on the desk. On impulse, I waterbended it right out of the cup and into my hand, looking at her to make sure she was paying close attention. Then I made the smallest ball of fire in the hand I was holding the water with, and looked at her as her eyes slowly went wide, watching the water evaporate into thin air in a matter of seconds. I grinned when she looked at me incredulously.

"Oh wow, I'm sorry; I heard the avatar was in town, I just didn't know she'd come to a public school!" she apologized. "Trust me lady, I wasn't anticipating it either," I thought, planning to get Tenzin back. The lady then handed me a slip of paper that had my classes on it.

"Hope you enjoy yourself this year," the woman said, smiling at me. "Thanks," I replied, turned and was just out the door before someone ran straight into me, knocking me to the ground. Luckily, I didn't drop my slip of paper. "Yep, this day just keeps getting better," I thought bitterly, rubbing my shoulder discontentedly.

"Oh my goodness, I am so…" a male voice starts but then suddenly stops. I look up to see a tall guy with broad shoulders, a child-like face and bright green eyes filled with apologies, staring at me. I could tell my cheeks burned a little, embarrassed by his preoccupied expression. He then snapped out of it and held a hand out towards me.

"I'm sorry," he apologized, grinning sheepishly. I smiled back, and took his hand. He pulled me off the ground and introduced himself to me. "I'm Bolin." I then realized I needed to do the same. I really need something for ADD.

"Oh, I'm Korra, nice to meet you," I replied, shaking his hand. "Oh well, at least I'm meeting people now," I thought optimistically.

A/N: I know, the chapter ended pretty abruptly, sorry, I just didn't want to put too much in one chapter, you know? I'm planning on writing a long story this time… XD Oh well, please review, tell me what you think. Thanks for reading! :) ~~~
