Korra POV

I walked into the school praying that I wouldn't get lost. This would be my first year in middle school. I'm not gonna lie, I was nervous. This was my first year without being in the same class as my best friend, Mako. Him and I were really close, we had been best friends for as long as I can remember. And that would be since kindergarten.

Mako POV

First day in middle school. Other people may be nervous, but not me. It was just another school, nothing major. Hell is the same no matter where you go. But anyways, I was disappointed. This would be my first year without my best friend, Korra, in my class. I've known her since I moved here in kindergarten.

I moved here from Crystal Lake, Illinois. My dad had a nice job offer here so we moved. I was really little so it wasn't like I was leaving any friends behind. The one friend I left was Evane, and we had only known each other for 2 years. We really weren't even that close. After all, we were only 3 when we met.

When I moved here, I was to young to really feel anything. I had no clue I'd meet someone as spectacular as Korra. We were in the same class in kindergarten, I wasn't shy. But I just never really talked. I was a quiet kid, but Korra, she was the exact opposite.

She was loud, like, very loud. She was bossy and crazy. I remember walking into class and seeing her and thinking 'This girl is crazy.' But she really grew on me, we were friends. She wasn't my first friend though, no Iroh was. But soon she came up to me and started to talk to me, and because it was kindergarten, I thought she had cooties. But alas, she grew on me and we became good friends. We talked in class a lot but she was just a friend. No 'best friend.'

That is until I saw her one day when I was outside playing in my yard.

Korra POV

I was walking with my mom, we had gone to the cul-de-sac next to ours and that's when I saw him. The quiet, boring kid from school who just happened to be one of my friends. I wasn't entirely sure it was him so I walked closer and yelled his name.

"Mako!" I yelled in my high pitched voice.

He turned around and looked at me with a confused expression, and then realization hit him.

"Korra? What are you doing here?" He asked, walking up to me.

"I didn't know you lived here! I live right behind you!" I said, completely ignoring his question.

He smiled, "That's so cool! Wanna play?"

I looked over at my mom and she looked bewildered. I motioned her over and she came.

"Mom, this is Mako! He is in my kindergarten class!" I introduced him.

"Hi Mako, I'm Ms. Senna. Korra's mom." She said waving at him.

"H-hi," He said, he was nervous when he talked to adults. That was something I noticed.

"Can I play with him? Please?" I begged.

She smiled, "Sure, I will be back in an hour."

And from then on we were best friends. He was in all of my classes throughout elementary school. Well, except for 3rd grade. That was my worst year…

We were always hanging out. Everyday after school I would go to his house and we would play outside. Really, we couldn't be closer.

Mako POV

I remember after she came over, we were best friends. I still thought she was bossy and crazy, though. One day we found a path connecting our houses and it made hanging out so much easier. It led to my backyard and she would just go through there to get to my front door.

6th grade was tough without my best friend. Like I said before, we had been together all throughout elementary school!

We were really close, she knew all my secrets and I knew all of hers. Whenever I had a problem, I would go to her and she would listen. Hell, we even had sleepovers all the time. Although those stopped once we got to 4th grade…

I remember one of our sleepovers. We were in 2nd grade.

We had been hanging out all day and neither of us wanted her to go home. We looked at each other and nodded.

We were going to have a sleepover.

I ran inside and she came in behind me, we looked around for my mom and saw her in the kitchen.

"Mom, can Korra spend the night?" I asked.

She sighed and looked at us, she was about to reject but I poked Korra and she did her famous pout. My mother couldn't refuse.

"Well alright, Korra go ask your mother." She said.

"Yes!" We both said fist pumping the air.

We ran to her house and her mom said sure. She ran inside and got her Buzz Lightyear sleeping bag. When we went back to my house, it was almost dark so we ran upstairs and got ready. We decided to sleep in the guest bedroom, there were two twin beds so it worked out perfectly.

Or so we thought.

My sister and brother just had to come in and ruin our sleepover. My brother, Bolin, and I were twins. But we looked nothing alike, we were fraternal twins. My little sister, Honnoh, was really annoying. My brother and I didn't really like her, she was the annoying little sister than no older brother liked. Although, she was super annoying. I don't think anyone really liked her...

It got crazy when Bolin and Honnoh got there. Bolin was crazy and spit all over Korra's sleeping bag and Honnoh was just being annoying. She eventually fell asleep and then Bolin followed, taking up one of the twin beds. Since her sleeping bag had Bolin's spit on it and only one twin bed was open, we just slept on the same bed.

We were only in 2nd grade and parents saw it as 'adorable'. Thinking back on it, it really was. I remember waking up with her head on my shoulder, a little bit of drool dripping from her mouth.

I laughed, my best friend was crazy.

I sighed and walked to my first class, without her.

Without her in any of my classes, we never really hung out. We couldn't, we couldn't make plans in school. That's what we used to do all the time. And she couldn't come over because of all my homework.

We kinda grew apart.

Okay, so this is a new story! It's based on a true story with me and my best friend. Please read and review and a new chapter will be up soon!
