The rest of the day went by pretty quick. Fortunately, Bolin was able to "escort" me to my classes so didn't get lost of my first day. I met up with him outside after school was over.

"Hey, Korra! So what did you think of your first day here?" He asked me. Bolin is just one cheery guy.

"It was alright. Thanks to you I didn't get lost on my first day," I smiled.

I pulled my car keys out of my bag and then noticed someone leaning against a car next to mine.

"Hey, bro, I want you to meet somebody!" Bolin grabbed my wrist and rushed me over to the car.

"It's not another fan girl of yours is it?" the guy said and then he turned around.

"Mako?" Really? This was Bolin's brother?

"You?"

"I have a name," I huffed.

"Oh, you two already met?" Bolin kept looking back from me to Mako.

"Gym," we both said in unison without breaking our glares.

"Well, Mako this is Korra. Korra this is Mako, my brother," I guess he noticed we weren't paying attention and punched his brother in the arm," Let's go, Uncle Narook wanted us to help him move his things into the new house."

"Yea, sure, let's go," Mako go into the drivers seat and started up the car.

"Your brother is a nice ball of sunshine."

"I'm glad you caught that," he replied sarcastically," He really is, isn't he? Bye, Korra."

I watched them leave, Bolin's hand waving out the window the whole time. I nodded my head and hopped into my car. Mako is so serious.

[Dinner Time]

"So how was your first day, sweetie?" my mom asked as she served spoonfuls of rice on my plate," Did you make any new friends?"

"Yeah, I guess it was pretty ok. I met some people," my mom gave me a look after she noticed that I was eating with my mouth full," Sorry, I guess I made some friends."

"Are these friends boys?" Dad was always a little bit protective over me but I can't really complain.

"Yea, maybe."

"Oh, is that so? What are their names?"

"Bolin and," I was unsure whether to mention Mako but I did anyways," And Mako."

"They sound… nice," I could tell Dad felt a little easy about the idea of boys being my first friends.

"Yeah, they are," I ate the last bit of food of my plate and placed it in the dishwasher.

I took my shower, put on my pajamas, and laid down in my bed as I listened to some music. Soon enough just as I was falling asleep I felt my phone vibrate. I picked and saw a text from an unfamiliar number.

Hey Korra it's Bolin just wanted to ask if you wanted to stay after with me and Mako while we're at pro-bending practice. We can eat out right after.

I forgot I gave Bolin my number during lunch. He sure does love to make new friends. He just met me and he's inviting me to hang out with them. Before I forgot, I saved his number and responded back.

K: Yeah that sounds ok. Your brother doesn't mind?

B; Nah he's cool with it

I fell asleep before I could send him a message back.

I'm running away from someone but I'm not sure who. I can hear them shouting something.

"You will not get away from me, Avatar!"

Avatar? They found the Avatar?

I was suddenly pulled over to side into an alleyway.

"Come on, Korra! We have to get you out of here!" the voice sounded so familiar. It was too dark to make out the face.

"Why? Who are you? What are we running from?"

They didn't answer me and we just kept running. We finally stopped after reaching an abandoned building. I followed the unknown figure inside. They lit up a fire in their hands and turned around.

"Mako?"

"He won't be able to find us here. At least I sure hope not."

"He? Who's he? Who are you talking about?" what was going on here?

"Korra, this is not a time to joke aro-" an explosion at the door cut him off.

There I saw whom he was talking about, a man wearing a full black outfit and a white mask. He started making odd hand movements and that's when I heard Mako's grunts.

Mako's body was being controlled not by him but the man. He flung Mako off into the wall and took over my body next. He brought me close to him and looked me straight in the eyes.

"I've got you now, Avatar."

I abruptly jump out of bed, my heart pounding what felt like 100 mph, and sweating everywhere.

What was that all about? I looked over at my clock, 6:30. That's lovely I guess I can get ready now. I tried to get out of my bed but my legs didn't feel like moving. Eventually, I did and looked through my closet. I pulled out a black and white sweater, some light colored jeans, and black shoes.

I went towards the fridge to see a note from my parents.

Emergency calls. Sorry, sweetie. Be home soon. Take care.

Love Mom & Dad

I threw the note away and cooked myself some food. Meaning I got a bowl of cereal for breakfast. I'm lazy in the mornings.

I watched a bit of TV and then went on my way. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be going anywhere this morning.

"Damn car!" I kicked the tires," Just had to breakdown on my second day didn't you? And now I'm talking to myself. Now what am I suppose do?"

I took out my phone and called my dad. Like I expected he didn't answer and neither did Mom. So I went for my final choice.

"Hey, Bolin? Um, it's Korra, you wouldn't happen to be able to fix a car would you? Really? Thanks, I owe you one! I'll text you my address."

I sat down on the steps and started playing with my water bending while I waited. Soon enough Mako's car pulled up.

"Car troubles, huh?" Mako shouted out and I nodded.

"Hop in, Korra! We'll give you a ride!" Bolin got out and opened the door for me. What a gentleman.

Well I can say the car ride was a bit... Awkward. Bolin kept talking about well, I'm not sure. He kept switching subjects so it was a bit difficult to keep up with him. I would occasionally give a nod, a laugh, or a "yea".

"So, Korra, why did you move here to Ol' Republic City?" Bolin asked.

"Oh, uh, Dad's job. Job transfer ya know," I replied nervously. I didn't really know what to say.

"Oh, what does your Dad do?"

"He's a cop."

"Cops have job transfers?"

"Bolin you ask too many questions. Now come on, we're here," Mako stepped out and opened the trunk to retrieve his bookbag and threw Bolin his.

"Come on, Korra, it's time to go to," he shivers," Math."

Mako walks beside me and whispers something in my ear," Make sure he doesn't fall asleep. I don't need him getting detention again."

I nodded and we went our seperate ways. Bolin did end up falling asleep during Math and I had to keep shooting water at home. I couldn't blame him though Math was terrible and I hated it. I was starting to fall asleep myself really. That was until a slip of paper was put on my desk. I looked at kid who handed it to me. I saw him mouth the words "Not from me." I opened the note.

You're a pretty girl. Pretty enough to be with me. Heres my number if you ever need a "friend" 910-975-5310

-Tahno

I rolled my eyes and put the note up before Mr. Galeski saw it.

"Bolin!," Mr. Galeski shouted.

He woke up out of his deep slumber," Sir! Ma'am! 37!" He gained a few giggles from the class.

"Very amusing Mr. Manning. Would you care to answer number 37 on the board for me?"

Bolin, Bolin, Bolin. Well I fail at watching him. I looked in my book to see what the question was. All I can say, he might as well just stay seated. Luckily, the bell rang just in the knick of time.

"Oops, sorry, teach, maybe tomorrow! See you at lunch, Korra!" He ran out of the room, didn't want to be late for class again.

I took a visit to my locker and got the stuff I needed for gym.

[Gym]

"Alright, now that's everybodies dressed out give me 50 laps around the field. If I see your aren't doing them, well, you don't want to find out. Move it, move it, move it!" the Coach blew his whistle and I think I've lost my hearing.

Considering I was still the new girl I ran the laps by myself for awhile. Started off walking and then jogging, got to pace yourself. Guess I couldn't do this run in peace. Suddenly I saw a stream of fire aiming right at me. I dodged out of the way and tried looking for who did it. There I saw him. Blaine laughing it up with his friends, pointing at me. I ignored him and kept jogging. Another stream of fire.

"Hey, Korra, can't take the heat?" Blaine laughed.

"Control yourself, he's not worth it," I kept thinking to myself and kept jogging. Soon enough I spotted the other one and instead of dodging it, I attacked back.

I gathered up some water to make my water whip and put out his flame," He wants to play, let's play." I stretched out the whip further and hit him from the back and had him fall face first.

He got up and kept attacking. I dodged his attacks and striked back. Blaine fell back after I got a hold of his ankle," Looks like you just lost to a girl."

"Evans! Quit your bending or I'm taking you off the team!" Coach threatened and he stopped," Martinez! Get over here!"

Great, in trouble already. I made my way across the field with some people patting me on the back for a good show," Yes, Coach?"

"That was some good water bending there. You ever thought about joining a Pro-Bending?" So I wasn't in trouble?

"Um, no, sir, I haven't."

"You should. I've been wanting to form a girl Pro-Bending team but have only had two willing to take the positions. You could fill in our missing water-bender spot," he could tell I was a bit hesitant," Well, if you ever make up your mind just come by my office. Now finish those laps."

He walked away and left me to think.

Being on a Pro-Bending did sound pretty interesting. A good oppurtunity really. I walked back to the field, still in my thoughts, when I was stopped by somebody.

"Oh, hey," it was Mako.

"Hey there, Sunshine," he knew I was referring to yesterday.

He glared and his face softened," I guess we got off on the wrong foot yesterday."

"I would say so."

"Look, maybe we can start over again. Mako."

"Korra."

"So what did Coach want to talk about?"

"Just offering me a spot on the girl Pro-bending team."

"Manning, Martinez, laps!" Coach blew his whitsle.

I hadn't even noticed we stopped doing our laps. Before he could blow again we got back on the field.

"So, did you take it?"

"Oh, I'm not really sure if I should."

"You should it's not hard. A good adrenanline rush."

"You on the boy team?" he nodded," What position?"

"I'm the fire bender."

"Oh, so, who are the other two benders?"

"Bolin's the Earth bender and Xavier is our Water bender."

"But-"

"Our Dad was a Fire bender, Mom was an Earth Bender. We get that question a lot. So you staying after with us? If not I can give you a ride home and just come back to practice."

"Yeah, I'm staying after. Check out Pro-bending practice, make my decision."

"Sounds good. You do Mrs. Howard's English assignment?"

Assignment? Oh, yeah, the .Me poems," Yeah, just came up with something during class. I hope we don't need to present them or anything."

"knowing her she just might pick out random ones."

"Alright, class is over, get your butts out of here!"

"See you at lunch," Mako waved goodbye.

I guess he isn't so bad after all.

[Free Period]

Well, the teacher was sleeping so we were pretty much free to do what we wanted. Boys were rough housing and flirting while the girls were just gossiping. Me? Well, I was taking a nice nap. Well it was nice until someone woke me up.

"Hey, there, you're Korra, right?" a girl asked me. I looked to see who had awoke me from my nap.

She had light colored skin, light greens colored eyes, and brown braided hair. She must be quite a fashionista. She had on a plain long sleeve black shirt with a black and white scarf. Her red jeans and black flats made the outfit pop a little more. The one thing that caught my attention more was a red pendant necklace she had on.

"Yea, and you are?"

"My names Emma," she smiled," I heard Coach wanted you to join the Pro-bending team. I saw you out there with Blaine today. You're really good. You should consider joining."

"I haven't made up my mind yet but we'll see what happens. So, I'm guessing you're the Fire bender?"

"Yeah, I guess my necklace gave it away, huh? Well, I'll see you around, Korra, hope you join."

The bell rung and it was now time for lunch and thank goodness. My stomach was caving in from how hungry I was. Wonder what's for lunch today?

[Lunch]

"Fries or mashed potatoes?" The lunch lady asked and I pointed at the fries," Here ya go have a nice day. Fries or mashed potatoes?"

Pizza and fries, too good. Now where are Bolin and Mako?

"Hey there, beautiful. You get my note today in math?" I'm guessing he was Tahno.

Dark hair with a load of gel, brown eyes, and pale skin. His clothes spoke for him. A tight black v-neck, faded black jeans, and white shoes. He tipped his hat and gave me a wink.

"Yeah, the trash can has it now," I tried to walk towards the table but he kept blocking my way.

"You should come eat with me today, gorgeous," he slung his arm over my shoulder," Why hang with those losers when you can hang with me?"

"Don't talk about yourself that way, Tahno," Bolin? Where did he come from?

"Stay out of this,Manning," Tahno growled.

"She's with us, Tahno, lay off," Mako? Really, where did they come from?

Tahno glared at them and winked at me before walking off," Well, grease head looks mad."

"It's best to stay away from him. He's just trouble," Bolin warned.

We sat our table from yesterday, well, what was our table.

"Yeah, this our table now but I'm sure you can find another one," Jennifer, of course, stole our table," What are you still doing here?"

"Since when did we start taking orders from a-" Mako covered up my mouth.

"Come on, Korra," he whispered and took me to another table.

"Was that necessary?" I growled.

"To keep you out of trouble," Bolin added in.

[After School]

"Let's go, Mako, stay focused!" Coach shouted as Bolin and Xavier threw attacks at him.

I had been watching them practice from the bleachers for awhile and this Pro-bending stuff seemed pretty cool.

"Bolin, your turn," Bolin stopped his attacks and switched places.

"They're pretty good, huh?"

"Hey, Emma, what are you doing here?" she pointed to the other side of the field," Cheerleading tryouts? You're trying out?"

"No, watching. My little sister is trying out unfortuntely," she rolled her eyes," Jennifer is in charge of the squad. Typical cliche'."

"Ok, try outees! Line up!" After lining up she starting picking her victims," Too short, too big, too weird, too pale, you're ok, too tall, you're good, you'll do, too much acne, and you lets go. Ok, try outs are over the rest of can go home."

"Shallow enough? At least my sister got in. I should get going see you around."

Wow, Jennifer really is your typical mean girl.

"Alright, that's enough for today! We'll practice again Tuesday afternoon!"

I nees to catch Coach before he leaves," Hey, Coach, sir!"

"Yea, what do you want, Martinez? Finally made up your mind?"

"I've decided I want to join the team," I could tell he was trying to hide a smile.

"Good. Practice Tuesday after school. Don't be late."

"He-Hey, joining the Pro-bending team. Nice," Bolin congratulated me," Well, we're going to change out and go eat."

"Great, I'm starving!"

[Local Pizza Buffet Joint]

Bolin has a bottomless pit for a stomach! He already ate a whole pizza by himself!

"Bolin, quit eating so much or you'll get sick like last time," Mako warned him but he kept eating.

"It's a buffet, you take advantage of an all you can buffet!" He exclaimed happily.

I ate my last slice of pizza and took a sip of my soda," Geez, Bolin, how do you have room for all that food?"

"You learn to make room," he smiled before retreating to the buffet.

"Yeah, I'll keep a trash can near his bed tonight. I have a feeling he's going to need it."

"So, Mako, tell me about yourselves," I propped my arms on the table waiting for an answer.

"Well, what do you want to know?"

"Anything you're willing to tell me."

"Well, I'm 17 and Bolin's 16. I'm the Fire-bender and he's the Earth-bender. He eats and sleeps all day. I'm, I'm me," he grinned.

"Oh, gee, I feel like I've known you forever," I rolled my eyes.

"Well, why do you talk about yourself? You are the new one here."

"Picking on the new girl, huh? Well, I'm 16, Water-bender, moved here from the Southern Water Tribe, I've always wanted a polar bear dog, and I love the rain. Told you more than you did."

"He also forgot to mention that he is a dancer," Bolin shouldn't talk with his mouth full. I like sea food but not that kind.

"Dancer, huh? What do you dance twinkle toes?" Yup he is going to gey irritated with me.

"I don't dance," Mako's face started to turn different shades of red.

"He's lying. He breakdances."

"Shut up, Bolin," Mako snapped.

"So you dance hip hop, your a b-boy?"

"Yup, that's my bro."

"Maybe, we should get going, it's getting late," Mako fumbled with his car keys put a tip on the table.

What's his deal? It was an awkward ride. Bolin fell asleep and Mako and I were quiet the whole ride. After getting to my house I noticed my mom was home. I hope she didn't mind.

I got my things and got out of the car," Hey, um, thanks for the ride."

"Yea, sure, well goodnight," and he drove off.

Yup, that wasn't awkward at all.
