Chapter Two: Punches in the Face

"Alright class, here is last weeks test," Mrs. Zhu Li told her physics class. All the students murmured excitement among themselves, since this test was one of the biggest of the year. As Zhu Li was passing them back, Korra turned around and faced Mako.

"I totally aced that thing. Better be prepared to eat my A." Korra gloated. Mako just smirked. "Why don't we wait for the test. Then we'll see who is best."

Zhu Li got to Mako and handed him the test, that consisted of several pages of grueling math and science problems. Grabbing the paper before Korra could snatch it, Mako held it up to himself.

"Ha, an A-. Top that." Korra just looked at him and laughed, confident in herself. She kept thinking of all the nights she…..had meant to study. Her smile suddenly faded. She had just remembered she had never studied for the test. Korra just had acted confident that day. And that confidence must have never left.

Until now.

Getting the test back, Korra looked down at the paper. And the red F written on it. Korra's face flushed with embarrassment, and as Mako looked over her shoulder, she scooped up her test and stuffed it into her book bag. Coughing, she looked back at Mako.

"Oh, it was B. It seems you win." Korra smiled, trying to throw the other boy off. Mako just stared at her. Shrugging, he just looked back to the front of the class. "Looks like Asami got another A+."

Korra couldn't keep the shock off her face. "Who?"

"Umm…...Asami. Only the smartest girl in our grade." But Korra just gave him a blank look. "Since when?"

"Since ever Korra," Mako had confusion written all over his face. "Where have you been?"

"Oh, hey look. Mrs. Zhu Li is about to start. Better pay attention now."

Mako nearly slapped his face. Korra smirked. Grabbing her notes, she happened to glance over at the girl named Asami. She basically looked the same as yesterday. Same makeup, same glasses. The girl had a dark, long-sleeve t-shirt and leather pants on. They suited her.

Wait, why did I think that? Meh, doesn't matter. Just focus back to your notes. Korra began writing down what her teacher began to write on the board.

Korra and Bolin were in gym class, sparring with each other. Bolin launched some earth discs at Korra's face. The water tribe girl quickly dodged the three projectiles and flung her own discs at Bolin. The earthbender dodged the first two, but failed to miss the third one, getting hit right in the gut. Sent flying, Bolin landed with a thud.

Korra laughed and walked over to him. "Ope, you just got earthbent, bitch."

"Please, oh mighty and powerful Avatar, do not annihilate me. All I ask is for your mercy." Bolin pleaded. The locked eyes, then both laughed, enjoying the fun they were having. Korra reached out a hand and picked Bolin up off the ground. The boy brushed off some dirt on his shirt. "You're getting better."

Korra brushed back her hair. "Thanks. I've been doing a lot training. Gotta be ready for the big meet this weekend."

"Well, after what Mako told me, you might need more than bending training."

"What are you talking about?"

Bolin shrugged. "He told me you failed that physics test."

Korra could feel the heat rushing through her face. "How did he-"

"Know? Well, he just assumed, since, you know, hid it from him and tried to change the subject."

"Ugh, this is bad. I'm already doing horrible in that class. Now Tenzin is going to kill me. Or worse."

"Don't worry Korra. You'll at least be able to come to this meet," rubbing at his shoulder, he added. "But probably none after that."

"I'm so fucked." Korra was so busy fretting, she didn't even notice the earth disc heading right for her. Making contact, Korra went flying. Lin Beifong walked over. "Stop talking and get back to sparring."

Korra walked into the air temple. Only to be greeted by Tenzin.

"Korra, why have I received a letter saying you are failing physics?" Tenzin asked. Korra rubbed the back of her head. "Well, maybe because…..I am."

"You know this is unacceptable. We made a deal that grades came before the bending team."

"Well, maybe if you weren't making me train 24/7, I could be passing all my classes."

Tenzin looked at her and sighed. "I suppose you're right. And I'm just as much to blame."

Korra blinked in surprise, not thinking her teacher would say that. "Really? Well, than what do you want me to do?"

"Korra, I'd like you to meet your new tutor. Ms. Sato," he pointed towards one of the doors, where the girl walked out. "I believe you two are classmates."
