Ok, people, I'm back with the chapter #2! just so you know, this story has more of Asami in it. I know there wasn't much of her in the last chapter, so I decided to plug her in, even though this whole chapter is in Korra's POV. But whatever. Enjoy the chapter!


Korra's POV

Mako, Bolin, and I made our way into the gymnasium. It wasn't much it was just going over the basic rules I already knew since I was 5 and getting to our homeroom teacher. We all had Mr. Tenzin for Homeroom and 1st period – well, at least for A days.

We sat down at homeroom and went over the school rules – the one I really wanted to find out about were the clothing rules. I know I'm a tomboy and all, but like I said, I favor anything that's casual or athletic in my words. I surprisingly waited patiently, since patient is the last word that you can use to describe me. The limits for skirts, shorts, or dresses would be at least one inch below the fingertips and all shirts have to be covering your shoulders at least 2 fingers wide and . . . I'm pretty sure you get what I mean. Then, the bell rang for 2nd period. Mako and I sprinted out the door, since we couldn't wait to get to gym, but then we had to stop and wait for Bolin since he has a thing for forgetting where things or places are in a matter of seconds and we're the only ones out of the three of us who knows where the gym is. Once we came out in our uniforms, I gotta say, it's actually very comfortable. I played volleyball while Mako and Bolin played basketball. It was free day, so we went and split until then. 3rd period had an assembly in the cafeteria and went over some more school stuff. 4th period, we split up – Mako and Bolin went to Science while I went to Literacy Lab. Then, my top favorite part of the school day – lunch. (Shouldn't that be everybody's favorite part of the day?) Mako and Bolin were able to find me through the clutter of kids and we made our way to the cafeteria. We found an empty table and sat down.

I was starving. So once I sat down, the first thing I did after I dumped out my lunch was go for the most filling thing and ate it. About 2 minutes later, I was going on to my pudding. Mako and Bolin just stared at me with amusement; well, Bolin was more flustered than amused.

"What?" I asked as I swallowed the last spoonful in my mouth.

"How can you eat so much but stay so . . . " he gestured to my thin figure, ". . . tiny?" he finished, trying to use the right words to avoid another hit on the head.

"Um, I'm the Avatar, Bolin. I workout for 3 ½ hours every day, training only takes up one of those hours, and my lessons are every weekend. What do you expect? I've been moving non-stop since I first learned how to crawl!" I said as I finished my pudding and went on to my Special K strawberry pastries – those things are good.

"Right, sorry," he said as he continued eating his pizza. I shook my head at him. This guy can be so clueless sometimes, yet, everybody has their "duh" moments. I looked up from my last pastry to see a girl with long, wavy black hair, an all-purple outfit, a simple lavender lunch bag, and bright jade eyes that scanned the cafeteria for a place to sit. The table we sat at had no one else at it but me, Mako, and Bolin, and we had a space for one more. Besides, everyone else kept on shooing her off every time she asked politely to sit there. She's in a few of my classes. Her name is Asami, I think. I swallowed the last bit of my first pastry and called her name.

"Asami!" I yelled over the noise. I tried to hold back a laugh as Mako and Bolin flinched at the volume of my voice. She looked at the sound of her name and her eyes landed on me. I waved my hand over, telling her to come over. She looked confused and pointed to herself to make sure I was referring to her. I nodded and patted the spot in front of me. She smiled as she walked over. She set her bag down and sat down.

"Thanks, Korra. I was starting to think I was gonna get an empty table," she told me.

"You remembered my name?" I asked her, a little astonished. No one really remembered my name unless you're Mako and Bolin. She smirked and tapped her head.

"I'm known for having a good memory," she said as she started to eat her sandwich.

"Ok . . ." I replied as I continued to eat.

"Hey, I recognize you two. Henderson brothers, right?" she asked Mako and Bolin. They nodded. Her face lit up with excitement.

"Oh my Spirits, I love you're covers for your songs! I've been listening to your covers all the time on YouTube since last year! You guys are really good," she said. Now it's my turn to be confused.

"Hold up," I said, holding my hands up, "You lost me at 'covers'." Mako looked at me with an "oops" face.

"Yeah, I think I forgot to mention that I have a YouTube channel," he said. He's leaving something out. I look at him.

"And?" I ask him, telling him to go on.

"And that I play bass guitar while Bolin drums," he said, biting his lip with anxiety. I was the one to have my face light up.

"Oh, now I remember, you guys made the cover for, um," I started snapping my fingers as I tried to remember the name of the song, "for, um, what's it called, what's it called, what's it called? Uh, 'Everybody Talks' by Neon Trees! That's it! Yes, that one is my favorite," I say, folding my arms as I concluded to what I was gonna say.

"Yes, that one is like, the best cover ever!" Asami said, agreeing with me, "But – wait a minute. Korra, what's your full name?" she asked me.

"Korra Arabia Scarlet Raisman, why?" I answered her, cocking my head to the side. She went ballistic.

"Oh my Spirits, your covers for guitar solos and songs are a-maz-ing!" she said, making sure to cut down "amazing" one syllable at a time. Mako and Bolin were confused now.

"You got a YouTube channel, too?" the brothers asked me in unison. I nodded my head.

"Guitar&SingingLegend73102," I told them my pen name and they started to lighten up, too.

"Oh, yeah, you make covers for songs like 'According to You' by Orianthi and 'Replay' by Zendaya," Mako said. It was clear that he followed me with music.

"And in my opinion, 'Replay' is definitely the best cover you've ever done," Bolin complimented. I smiled.

"Yes, definitely the best," Asami agreed. While we talked, I learned a lot more about them. Mako was awesome with the bass guitar, Bolin beats the life out of drums, and Asami can scale it on piano and keyboard.

For the rest of the lunch period, all we talked about were bands, music artists, and music until we came up to one particular subject that brought us closer than we thought.

"You really are, obsessed with music, Korra," Mako said. I just shrugged as I picked at my granola bar.

"Yeah, are you planning on going to a Performing Arts college once we graduate?" Asami asked me. I stopped chewing. I was a little surprised that someone would ask me that because no one ever bothered to – and I mean ever. I swallowed before I answered.

"Uh, wow, no one really bothers to ask me that, uh, well, actually, I am planning to go to a Performing Arts college; and it's already obvious that all of us want to, so you won't need to say the same thing," I said, reassuring them before they said what I said. They nodded as they let me talk. "I guess it's really just to become an incredible and famous guitarist and singer, basically to become a very successful musician overall." Then, something really awkward happened.

"Yeah, it's been my dream since I first learned how to play my instrument and just thinking about going to a Performing Arts college would be so awesome," we said together. Good grief, we just met and we're already saying the same things? Awkward. But we ended up laughing anyway.

"You know, I have a really good feeling we're all gonna get along swiftly," I said with a bright smile.

"As swift as reading notes on a piece of sheet music," Mako said, smiling back. Little did I know that what we said was being heard from someone that I would end up hating for the rest of my life.


So, there's the second chapter! For me, it was kinda short, but who cares. As for the songs, I couldn't get "Replay' out of my head, "According to You" sounds awesome since the lead guitar is played by Orianthi, (Besides my dad, she's the best guitarist I've heard) and "Everybody Talks" . . . it just came to me. You should also check out my other story, "Sahara: A Prodigy Daughter". Through my eyes, I'm not sure if it might interest you, but whatever, I'll deal with it. In the next chapter, the team will . . . FINALLY pull a band together, but that's all I'm telling you! Full and honest reviews, please!

DISCLAIMER:

I DO NOT own "The Legend of Korra", "Everybody Talks", "According to You", or "Replay". Belongs to either Mike and Bryan, Neon Trees, Orianthi, or Zendaya.
