Hello people of earth. I have written another story. I know I didn't finish my other story yet, but this idea was stuck in my head so I had to get this out. Soooo, tell me if you like it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Legend of Korra. I wish I did, but I don't
Hearts on Fire
Not Striking Out
Mako's P.O.V
"He's gonna Strike out."
"No he won't."
"Yeah he will. She doesn't even look interested."
"What?! She's totally in to him."
"Korra, He's going to strike out."
"20 says he won't. He'll get it"
"Fine. I hope you're prepared to lose because he's not getting it. You just love being wrong don't you."
"Whatever City Boy. This time, you're wrong."
We're sitting at our usual lunch table, arguing whether not Bolin is going to get some girls number. We haven't Korra very long but every one just seemed to instantly loved her. I was a little more hesitant than I am now. She's hotheaded, impulsive, stubborn, loud,and infuriating. On the other hand she's brave, smart, selfless, and I'll admit she's really pretty. The more she hangs around, the happier I am to see her.
Maybe being around her won't be so bad.
"Hey Mako. Hey Korra."
We both turn in the direction of the person walking towards us.
"Hey 'Sami." we say in unison. We then turn our attention back to Bo.
"So, what are we doing?"
"We're watching to see if Bolin gets that girls number." Korra says gesturing in the direction we were looking in before taking a bite out of the apple she was eating.
"Korra bet me $20 that Bo would get her number, and I say that it's not gonna happen."
"Well, so far it looks like Korra's winning. She looks pretty into him."
"Ha!" I send Korra a glare and she just smirks.
We continue to watch Bolin who is now making the girl laugh uncontrollably. Korra leans on my shoulder.
"You are definitely loosing this bet." she whispers, amusement evident in her voice. I shiver a little. I must be cold.
Not only did Bolin get her number, but he's in the middle of a make out session.
"Dammit!"
"HaHa! Pay up City Boy!" she says holding out her hand. I reach into my pocket and pull a 20 out of my wallet. She reaches out and grabs it from my hand. She leans back against the table with a smug expression on her face. It would have been kinda cute if I hadn't just loss $20 to her.
Bolin made his way across the cafeteria and back over to us, a wide grin on his face.
"What are you so happy about?" he asks Korra.
" I bet Mako 20 bucks that you would get that girl's number and he lost." I 'm not looking at her but I can hear the smile.
"Aww. It's nice to see you two get along. Wait, so you doubted me?! I'm glad you lost your money to her!" He frowns and crosses his arms. before I can say anything, Asami interrupts.
"So are we all going to Iroh's party next Friday?" Bo and I respond with a quick 'yeah'.
"I wasn't invited." Korra says.
"So. You'll be with me." Asami says.
"And me!" Bolin adds.
"You're new to this school. No one really knows you yet. You're coming with me and you're gonna have fun."
"I don't have anything to wear." she protests.
"We're going shopping and we are going to get you the hottest outfit for this party."
"Is this optional?"
"No. No it is not."
"Fine. Is it still okay if I crash at your house this weekend?"
"Yeah. I already told my dad, so it's set."
The bell rings and we all go our separate ways to class. The rest of the day goes by quickly and before I know it Bolin, Korra, and I are getting into the car on our way home. Since Korra lives next door to us, we've been giving her rides to school and back home. Well, I've been giving her a ride. Bolin can't drive yet. The whole ride Bo talked about his 'hot date' with the girl from earlier. We pull into our driveway and park. Korra thanks us for the ride and walks over to her house. As soon as she opens the door, her expression falls and you can hear the door slam from about a mile away.
"What was that about?" Bolin asks.
I shrug my shoulders and go into my house. I walk upstairs into my room and drop my stuff on the floor. My window is open the way I always have it. In the next window over, I see Korra throw her bag near her bed. She turns walking toward the window. When she sees me, she turns a light pink color and waves. I feel my face heat up and I wave back. I'm still not used to looking over and seeing someone there. Especially her. Although Bolin was more than happy to know that his new best friend lived right next to us.
She opens her window and disappears from her room. I sit at my computer and start to work on a project. I start to hear yelling and I move back over to the window to hear better. It's loud, but it's still muffled because it's in another house.
"Hey Bro, which shirt should I wear on my date?" Bolin comes into my room holding up two shirts.
"Can you hear that?" I ask, making sure I'm not imagining the noise.
"Hear what?"
"I can hear yelling coming from Korra's house." I say. Bolin walks over and stands next to me at the window. Right then, Korra storms into her room.
"I don't care anymore! I don't give a fuck what you do with your life, just keep me out of it!" she screams at someone that's not in view.
She slams the door and leans against it. she drags her hands down her face before standing up straight as if she had just realized something. She looks at the window, wide eyed, and is shocked to see Bo and I standing at the window. She looked like she forgot the window was open. We heard a car horn outside which broke everyone from the shocked expressions we had. Now her's was slightly panicked. She quickly grabs her bag and rushes out of the house.
"What was that?" Bolin asks, giving me a worried look.
"I have no idea Bo."
