She sat on the stone steps that lead towards the school with a distant look in her eyes, her headphones seemingly glued to her head as she lazed against the railing with only one foot moving slightly where it hung nonchalantly across her knee.
I wondered why she seemed so lonely, keeping everyone at arm's length like she was afraid to be near another.
I never imagined that I would find the answers to my questions nor will I ever forget the day that I did.
"What is it? Do you need me to move or something?" a void yet somehow still gentle voice asked, snapping me out of my thoughts because that voice belonged to no one but Korra , the girl that I was staring at.
"No, sorry. I guess I just zoned out there for a minute." I stammered, feeling heat crawl into my face; knowing I must look like a complete idiot at that moment.
However to my surprise the dark skinned girl only snorted and leaned back against the railing, sliding her earphones completely off for a moment.
"You don't have to apologize. It's not like you were bothering Me." she stated, a smirk on her lips as she closed her eyes and then stood up before adding
"You're Asami Sato, right?"
I sighed then as I watched her extend her hand.
"Yep…the one and only." I replied, forcing myself to sound friendly because most people only wanted to befriend me for my father's money but when I shook hands with her I could tell she was sincerely just friendly.
"I heard about you from Mako…I'm Korra." She introduced.
I wanted to laugh at that because everyone knew who Korra was.
She was a troublemaker, she lived on Air Temple Island and was the Avatar…the only one who could bend all four of the elements. Plus she had dated Mako before he and I had met and though they were still friends he thought she was crazy.
"Same here, though you have a bit of a reputation." I replied, unable to keep from chuckling.
Her cheeks flushed then as she glanced away.
"Yeah I have a bit of a temper problem." She admitted, rubbing the back of her neck.
"A bit? I heard you caught the ball goal in the gym on fire during practice just because some girl beat you in a one on one match." I retorted, causing her to blush more.
"Uh yeah….Well in my defense Kuvira can be an ass."
However before either of us could say anything the bell rang to signal the end of break.
"um….So see you around I guess." She stated with a crooked grin
"Yeah, see you." I replied dumbly, earning a chuckle in reply
"we'll I'd best be off….If I get one more detention this month Tenzin is going to kill me." She stated before rushing off, using a ball of air to make herself faster.
