Avatar High:

"And that's about it, what do you think of the school?" Katara asked.

"It's great!" Replied an enthusiastic Aang. It was his first day at Republic City High School. He was 15 and sophomore, Katara was also a sophomore and as the class president she had given him the grand tour of the campus.

Aang was a nice young man Katara had noticed. Always smiling and holding open doors for anyone he saw. He wasn't that bad looking either, and she wasn't the only girl that had noticed. Almost every one of those sluts that she was forced to call classmates had given him one of their "sexy" smiles. Aang didn't let it get to him though; he was again, a nice young man.

"Thanks again for the tour", Aang said a small smile on his face.

Katara couldn't hear a thing that was coming out of his mouth; she was too busy looking at the airbending tattoos that went from somewhere underneath his orange and yellow flannel to the middle of his forehead. Katara had never seen airbending tattoos in person before. Sure she's seen pictures in Social Studies, but only 2 other airbenders went to Republic City high school. And they didn't have those tattoos.

"Uhm, are you okay?" Aang asked beginning to get worried seeing as the girl has been staring at him for the past 10 seconds.

"Hugh? OH! Y-yeah a-anytime", Katara stuttered, the blush on her face prominent even on her mocha skin. Aang's jaw suddenly dropped, Katara started to get excited, 'He's totally checking me out.' The blush on her face got brighter and brighter. And then with 3 words, all her hopes came crashing to the ground.

"Whoa… who's that?" Katara spun around already knowing who Aang was talking about.

'Oh great' Katara thought, she's here. 'Well, guess the chances of him being attracted to me are about one to one million', Katara thought bitterly. 'Now that he's noticed her' "Oh that," Katara mumbled her blush vanishing from her face, "that's Korra."

It was the first day of school and Korra was trying to find her locker. Only 15 minutes, 15! And already she had been asked out by 11 guys, which she kindly turned down and instead settled for giving them her number not that she planned to contact them at all (she had a boyfriend for God's sake!). She turned a corner and saw her little sister Katara talking to a boy she had never seen before. He was cute Korra thought to herself, He had big grey eyes and clean shaven head. Airbending tattoos were on his head and Korra couldn't help but smile. He saw her and his jaw dropped, Katara spun around a scowl on her face. Korra couldn't understand why her sister disliked her so much; she was always nice to her and spent a lot of the money that her parents rained down on them to buy things that she thought Katara would like. It puzzled her why her sister seemed to hate her so much when all she wanted to do was have a good relationship with her. She put on a friendly smile and walked over to meet her sister's new friend.

Katara scowled at her older sister and tried to give her the 'get out of here look'. But Korra being Ms. Congenial, and Ms. Popular, and Ms. Beautiful, and Ms. Senior class president- couldn't help herself, she just had to come and meet Aang. Katara knew that Korra wasn't interested in Aang; she had a boyfriend for God's sake! She just couldn't pass up the opportunity to make new friends. Katara was that way too, the only difference being that Katara didn't have the same effect on boys that Korra did. Well that wasn't exactly true, Katara got the same stares that Korra did, just if they did stare at Katara, it was because Korra wasn't around. And Katara hated that, she hated that she was second best to her sister, she hated that boys just used her as a plan B just until Korra arrived, she hated that her sister was so pretty.

"She's pretty", Aang said his jaw still half and inch lower than it should be.

"Who's your new friend sis?" Korra asked kindly. Aang's eyes grew wide as they flashed between the two girls. He could see the resemblance, both girls were absolutely gorgeous, with their mocha colored skin and blue eyes. But Korra's eyes were different; they weren't just blue they were like an electric blue. Aang's face began to grown red and he hoped that the sisters wouldn't notice.

"There you are babe, I've been looking everywhere for you." Korra's face lit up and with that her bright eyes grew even brighter.

"Excuse me", she said as she ran toward the tall fair skinned boy with spikey jet black hair and smoldering amber eyes. She wrapped her arms around his torso and buried her face in his chest. "I missed you so much", she told him. He wrapped his arms around her waist a small smile spreading across his face,

"I drove you to school today Korra." He replied.

"Ya Korra, your so clingy I don't know how Mako can stand it", Katara said.

"I think it's adorable", Mako said his smile growing wider.

Korra turned to face her sister a pout on her face but she said nothing.

Aang's smile dropped into a small frown, he was disappointed to say the least. He wouldn't lie he was attracted to Korra, She was beautiful anybody could see that, but there was something about the way she talked to people that he could tell she was beautiful on the inside as well. And to see that she was going out with this 'Mako' kind of disappointed him. Katara had been very kind too, he noticed the only person she had been sour towards was her sister, and he couldn't see why. Korra was a very kind person from what he could see.

"Mako, could you kindly escort my sister away from me?" Katara asked kindly.

"Sure thing Katara", Mako replied, "Oh and by the way, try to be at my car right after school. Korra and I have a dinner date."

"Do we?" Korra asked with a small grin on her face.

Aang's frown deepened 'Damn you Mako, damn you' Aang thought. He quickly took it back 'Sorry Mako I take it back, I take it back' he thought. He didn't even know the guy and already he's thinking such hurtful things towards him? What would the monks think? What would Korra think?

"Well, I'll see you later sis", Korra said smiling warmly at her sister.

"Can't wait", Katara said sarcastically, "now get out of here."

With a pout on her face Korra left, Mako's arm wrapped around her waist.

"Sorry about that", Katara began, "She can be so irritating sometimes."

"So that's your sister?" Aang asked.

"Sadly yes", Katara said a pout on her face.

"Why sadly?" Aang asked, "She seemed nice."

'Damn', Katara thought, 'another boy that has fallen for Korra.'

"Never mind", Katara said, "Let's just head to class, I warn you though, from what I've heard Ms. Beifong can make even the most interesting classes a snooze fest." Aang chuckled a bit which made Katara's heart melt. 'This is going to be a long year', she thought with a frown, 'Another year in the shadow of "Korra the Legendary."
