Chapter 2

-History class-

Korra walked into her history class. She and Mako were in the same class, but they had never noticed each other. She sat next to Kairi, as usual, and Mako took his seat in the corner of the room. Soon after they got seated, the teacher walked in, "Class, today I will be assigning partners" She announced, earning a groan from the entire class. "Oh suck it up," She grumbled, "Now, Korra and Mako, Asami and Kairi..." The teacher continued to assign everyone partners. Mako pulled his chair over to Korra's desk as everyone else went to go sit with their own partners.

"So, silent girl, you write the paper, I'll read it to the class." He said with a smug look on his face.

She gaped at him for a second before glaring at him with pure annoyance. He raised his hands as a truce. "Kidding, Kidding! Well, what do you think we should do our project on?"

She mumbled something.

"Sorry, what?"

"I siad the one hundred year war," she said timidly.

"Sorry, still can't hear you, speak up." He said, agitated.

She lost her temper. "I SAID, THE ONE HUNDRED YEAR WAR."

Mako's jaw dropped and everyone turned their attention towards her, including the teacher. Her face turned beet red from embarrassment. "Sorry..." she said softly and sat down quickly and started working on the project with Mako and they as they were working, they got to get to know each other.

"I thought you hated me, with how you were glaring at me before." she says confused.

"No, I wasn't glaring at you, it was for Bolin." Mako said, and she nodded awkwardly, not wanting him to hate her for being friends with Bolin.

-After class-

Mako walked out of class next to Korra. "So rumor has it you weren't always so quiet and that you were mean to everyone a few years ago. Why the sudden silent-girl-act?" Mako asked curiously. Kairi gave him a dirty look. "It's none of your business Mako, shut up."

Korra calmed Kairi down. "It's ok Kairi, I'll catch up with you after school." she said calmly. Kairi rolled her eyes and sighed. "Alright, see you, Kor." she said as she parted away from them.

Korra looked back at Mako. "To answer you question, I'm not proud of who I was. That why I keep to myself."

*bell rings*

"Well, see you in history tomorrow. Oh, and don't forget, bring in as much info as you can on how the war started." He nodded and with that, they walked to their separate classes.

-End of school-

"Korra!" Mako calls as he runs up to Korra. "Are you any good at math?"

She raises an eyebrow. "yes, its my best subject, why?"

He shows her his last test grade and she cringes. "Yikes..."

"You have to tutor me, you just have to! I have to pass math or I'll be in for summer school!" he begs.

She takes a second to think. "What's in it for me?" She asks cryptically he was expecting this from her and he didn't care.

"I'll do your history homework for the rest of the year." He says in a desperate voice.

"Okay… deal." she says hesitantly. They walk to his house and sit in his room.

"So, for a triangle, you have to do the Pythagorean theorem. What's the formula for it?" she notices him spacing out. "Helloooo? Pay attention." She says waving her hand.

"Kay…" he says, still out of it. Then she realizes that he is staring at her cleavage. "You sicko!" she shrieks and slaps him.

He touches his cheek and gapes at her. "Ow! What the hell was that for?!" he yells in pain.

"I saw where you were staring you perv. That's it, deal's off!" Makos eyes widen as she starts to get off. "No please! I'll be good, I promise!" he gives her the puppy dog eyes and she sighs.

"Alright, but you do anything but pay attention to me—my teaching," she says, emphasizing 'teaching', "and I'm out of here! Now what do you for the Pythagorean theorem?" He stops and thinks, "Divide everything by 2...?" He guesses out of no where, giving her a guilty smile. She slams her head in the text book. "No, it's a squared times b squared equals c squared. Got it?" He nods.

"You have pretty eyes." he says out of nowhere.

She smiles at him. "Thanks."

"You know, people think you're a freak, before even saying anything to you , but I think you're pretty amazing" and with that he leaned in, slowly, and kissed her.
