The Real World
The truth is, everyone you meet is going to hurt you, intentionally or not. You just got to find the one worth the pain.
Dear Diary,
Today is my first day at the oh so great Republic City Junior & Senior High. Pema bought me this diary so I could record my thoughts of high school. At first I wanted to laugh at her face and tell her I don't stuff girly junk like that but I didn't want to hurt the lady. Anyway I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Sure I was well educated by the White Lotus but the thought of more learning made knots inside my stomach.
Tenzin thought that I should be around people my age not children or middle aged people. But I just thought it was to get me out of the temple. I'm so scared because I read one of Jinora's books and found out in high school that you end up in this thing called a clique. And according to that book people judge you by what you wear or how much money you own. I thought it was really shallow and cold. But Tenzin said I should try to fit in.
Tenzin also informed me about keeping my identity as the Avatar a secret and if I get into any situation which would need me to use my bending is to use water. I complained to Tenzin about that stating that I would most prefer fire but he said that people would question why there was a firebender in the South Pole. I secretly missed my home, my parents, and Katara. I'm going to be strong though and show no emotion.
Here I am at 5:30 in the morning I could go on and on but I would rather get dressed now instead of Tenzin giving me a boring lecture on waking up early.
See ya,
Korra
Since when did Avatar Korra be scared of meeting people? Since when did she be scared of anything. Korra put her diary back into the floorboards and went to the dresser filled with clothes Pema provided her. All these clothes aren't me if I wear these I'll look like a dandelion, she thought to herself. I guess I don't have a choice. She looked through the various colors of pastels and finally settling on a pale rose top and white linen shorts combo that made her look like a raspberry sundae. Good enough to eat, she thought. And finished it off with black flats.
"Korra! Where are you? You're going to be late for your first day." Yelled an angry Tenzin outside the door.
"I'm coming Tenzin. Weren't you those saying an airbender needs to be patient?" Korra asked in an sarcastic manner.
"Don't sass me young lady."
"I'm just kidding Tenzin relax. I'll be out in a minute."
Korra went to the bathroom and looked at her reflection in the mirror. There stood Korra not Avatar Korra whom every boy wanted and every girl wanted to be, but just a tan, slender, beautiful Korra. I hate having my hair down, Korra thought. She pulled out one of the drawers to reveal many earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings. Korra hated all those little accessories. She looked through the hair section and found a black hair tie and a matching pale rose ribbon. Oh, how ironic, she thought.
Korra pulled out a brush and started brushing her silky brown hair back starting to form a ponytail. Satisfied she tied her hair back with the black hair tie and tied the ribbon on top to conceal the band. Korra fixed her bangs and went out the door to the eating area.
"Good morning Korra." greeted Pema holding Rohan in the kitchen
"Good morning Pema. Master Tenzin." she bowed at Tenzin and sat down and started to gulp down some cereal.
"So Korra, since today is your first day I will accompany you." said Tenzin looking over the newspaper.
"Sounds good to me. What are you waiting for Tenzin? Let's go!" Korra was by the door already when Pema stopped her.
"Korra wait here. I have something for you." Pema approached Korra revealing a medium sized black bag with purple straps on it and little zippers on the sides. It also had little designs of what looked like snowflakes on the bag. She also revealed a thin rectangular device with a sapphire case on the outside.
"Um, I would thank you but I don't know what these things are." Said Korra looking quizzically at the two objects.
The middle aged woman started laughing and then began speaking. "Korra honey this is a purse, I figured since you're a senior your old enough to use a bag instead of a backpack. And this is a cell phone you can use it to call or text people whenever you want. But not at school, you'll get into trouble."
"Oh why thanks Pema."
"Wait one more thing." Pema pulled out something from her pocket. "Here are a couple of yuans use them to buy food when it's lunch. Bye sweetie."
"Thanks. Bye Pema."
Korra hugged Pema and waited for Tenzin outside.
LoK
Korra sat on the on chair impatiently tapping her foot. She and Tenzin appeared to be in the principle's office according to the door. A man with dark skin and hair opened the door.
"Welcome Councilmen Tenzin and ahh you must be my new student. Please tell me what's your name dear?"
"My name is Kara Suzuki, sir." Korra said and bowed respectfully.
"Good morning Miss Suzuki. I'm Principle Noatak and here's your schedule. Congratulations it looks like you got a lot of AP classes too." he said handing Korra a white piece of paper.
Korra looked through the paper it saying:

Wow, Korra thought to herself.
"I hope you have a great first day miss Suzuki. Oh, before I forget since you're a senior all of your classes are on the east wing." Principle Noatak excited out of the room leaving just Tenzin and Korra.
"Ok Korra I'm leaving now. When school ends go back to the island. Got that?"
"Yes now go home Tenzin." Korra said opening the door.
When Korra opened the door it looked like a zoo. People were scattered everywhere but Korra still managed to hold on to her bag and schedule. Korra made her way to the east wing. She was about to go to room 358 when someone knocked her down.
"Oh, I'm so sorry." the voice said. Korra looked up seeing a boy with a pair of emerald green eyes and curly hair.
"It's fine I should've watched where I was going." Korra said slightly blushing.
"Hey, I'm Bolin since your heading towards the east wing I'm guessing you're a senior?"
"Yep oh, and I'm Kor- I mean Kara."
"Hey you're pretty where are you from Kara?"
"Oh, from the South Pole."
"Oh, you're the new girl I heard of. I'm a junior and since seniors and juniors have the same lunch time why don't you sit with me at lunch? I'll introduce you to my friends. They'll love you." Bolin asked giving puppy dog eyes.
Korra giggled.
"Sounds good to me. Thanks."
"No problem hey can I have your number?" said Bolin pulling out his phone.
"Sure hang on." I don't even know my own number I just got a phone today, Korra thought. She opened her bag and pulled out the sleek and shiny material. It still looked new.
"Wow. Nice phone my friend Asami has the same one."
"Cool." she replied. They switched phones and added each other as contacts.
"Thanks Bolin."
"No problem. Before I forget my brother Mako's a senior maybe you'll see him."
"Ok I'll keep an eye out for him."
Korra turned to got and couldn't help but smile because she made a new friend.
So what'd you guys think. I apologies because Korra's a little OOC. But review I'll try to upload tomorrow!
