A black Satomobile arrived at the Air Temple driveway. Korra made sure no one saw her enter the car, as this was her transportation to the Sato residence. The driver asked to make sure she was Korra, but that was it. Korra popped in her earphones. Her thoughts drifted onto this weeks upcoming game against the Fire Nation Raiders. She was taken from those thoughts as the driver pulled up to a gate. The gate opened and Korra was enthralled by how large the property was inside.
"Sato residence my ass..." Korra thought as she took in as much of the estate as she could. She saw a mansion on top of a hill as they approached closer. They did not pull into the driveway, but entered what Korra thought was the garage. It held at 2 rows of 6 Satomobiles each, one as exquisite as the next; all lined up next to one another. The driver parked in his spot.
"Please wait here Miss." he simply stated as he exited the car.
He walked to a phone and made a call. After he returned and opened the door for Korra. She exited and she was led to an elevator. "Miss Adams will meet you in the main lobby. She will assist you from there. I will wait here until you need to be returned to the Air Temple."
Korra's elevator ride was very brief the door opened and she walked into a lobby; complete with guards and a reception desk. Korra thought "Wow, what kind of house has a reception?"
Before she could sit down a set of double doors opened. A female in black dress entered. "Miss, follow me please."
As Korra was lead down a large hallway the woman spoke. "I am Miss Adams, for the most part you will be alone with Miss Asami. Should you need anything I will acquire it for you. Miss Asami will call for me should that need occur. This place is well secured and so no wondering around on your own. I am assured you have passed all background checks."
That caught Korra's attention. She was in shock that she needed to pass a background check just for tutoring.
Miss Adams opened another set of double doors. Korra was lead into a large library that was bigger than any library she had ever seen. It was 3 floors of books, books and more books. Tables centered in the middle, couches placed between the columns of books that encircled the room. Computer stations on each level for convenience. Korra wondered if this rivaled the Wan Shi Tong Library she had heard so much about.
"Korra...Miss Korra." Miss Adams repeated as she finally caught her attention.
"Oh! Uhh sorry." Korra grinned as she scratched he back of her head. "It's just so...Wow... I didn't expect.."
"That learning could be beautiful.." Asami stated looking into a book.
"Uhh" Korra couldn't think of anything to respond.
Asami closed her book and stood up.
"Miss Asami, This is Miss Korra." Miss Adams indicated. "I shall leave you two alone to begin your tutoring session." With that Miss Adams respectfully nodded to Asami and left.
"Soooo ..." Korra said as she stood awkwardly swinging her arms back and forth.
"Interesting..." Asami said.
"What?" Korra questioned.
"Just an observation. The most popular boastful student at Republic City High School is ...sheepish when she is out of her element." Asami stated.
"What.. did... you.. just.. call .. me?" Korra's eyes narrowed. "I am NOT a sheep."
"Sorry, I did not mean it literally. I mean you're ...awkward when you're not at the high school. Ummm, let us start over. I'm Asami, I'm your tutor." She stated as she attempted to put on a small smile.
Korra cleared her throat and regained her composure. "Yeah, let's start over. I'm Korra. And I'm not awkward. Ever."
"Well," Asami looked away. "Mr. Tenzin informs me that your struggling in Math, Geometry and Science. So, let us get started."
Korra scratched the back of her head. And jumped on the couch with her arms behind her head. "How about ... maybe you can do my homewor...". Korra stopped when she looked up and saw Asami standing over her. Her green eyes narrowed with death stare.
"Green eyes, she has green eyes..." Korra thought to herself.
"First of all, I take this task very seriously. As should you." Asami rolled her eyes. "Jocks. I wish you weren't all the same."
"Hey!" Korra jumped up in defense of herself. "We're NOT all the same!"
"Then prove it to me." Asami challenged.
"Ok, only if you can prove me to that you can teach me better than any teacher at Republic City High. They can't seem to make me ...understand what they are muttering in my ears all day long. I'd like to see you do better." Korra walked over to Asami staring her eyes. It was then that Korra realized that Asami towered her by a few inches. "Damn!" She thought.
"Ok," Asami put her pen to her lips thinking. Her green eyes lit up when she got an idea. "So you're a jock right?"
Korra huffed, "Hey!"
"What I mean is you like sports right?" Asami tone was apologetic.
"Yeah, so what does that have to do with math and science and stuff?"
"Everything ... So for example, You play football. How do you know where to throw the ball and then to throw it right where you need it, when you need it?"
"I just ...kinda know?" Korra uttered.
"Well its' geometry, math and science. Geometry is angles. Math is calculating distance and well the ball goes in the air. What goes up must come down. And there is your science." Asami pointed out.
Korra's blue eyes lit up in the realization of all those factors. Asami showed how all those subjects played a roll in various sports and more importantly; Korra was getting it all.
The pair did not realize it was getting late. A knock on the door interrupted the two. It was Miss Adams, "Excuse me Miss Asami, but it getting late and you have not had your dinner,"
"Oh, yeah food.." Asami smiled and looked back at Korra. "Hungry?"
"Starving." Korra smile back.
"Please, bring dinner in here." Asami indicated at the long table they sat at.
Korra laughed.
"What?" Asami questioned.
"It's just that you're so quiet and shy at school. That I never would have pictured you ordering servants around." Korra grinned.
Asami looked down. "I don't order them around. I ask them politely. Sure they get paid to do what I ask, but it doesn't mean I have to demean them either."
"Sorry, I didn't mean it that way. I guess what I'm trying to say...very poorly, Is - why don't people see this side of you at school? Maybe then you would have more friends and maybe you wouldn't be sitting alone in the corner at lunch,"
"You noticed me?" Asami murmured.
"Uhhh " Korra tried to think of a polite response, Seeing as how it was the first time Korra ever acknowledge Asami's existence.
"It doesn't matter." Asami stated. "Ummm... You and being popular and having "friends" do not matter to me. All I want to do at school is learn and what do I get for wanting to learn? I get..."
Asami stopped. Eyes nearly tearing up.
Korra realized she hit a soft spot. "You get what?"
Just then, the door opens and food is being brought in. It was like a small buffet. "Wow all this for a tutoring session? I should have signed up a long time ago!" She looks back at Asami and now food is the last thing on her mind. After the staff leave she repeats her question. "You get what?"
Asami stares into a blank space. She softly shakes her head. "Nothing. Let's eat."
Korra is curious, but she sees that Asami doesn't want to broach the subject. So she decides to let it go and begins to eat.
The ravenous Alpha is eating some of everything. It was delicious. She is grabbing things left and right. After a few minutes she stops and realizes Asami is just staring at her eating. With a mouth full of food she smiles and shrugs her shoulder. Asami giggles. Korra swallows and says, "I got a high metabolism. At Tenzin's - I have other people I have to consider. And well right now its just you, me and all this food." With that Korra lets out a burp. Her eyes get big and she immediately covers her mouth. Asami giggles and lets out a little burp of her own. Korra smiles at the gesture.
"You know Asami, You're pretty cool." Korra says as she leans back and pats her belly. Suddenly, she realizes its quiet. She looks at Asami. She is just looking at her with a non-expression... expression.
"Don't say things you don't mean Korra." Asami looks down. After what seems like forever she looks up. "Well I think our study time is over."
"Over?" Korra asks. "Oh yeah! Over. Time for me to ...um,, go and stuff." Korra scratches the back of her head. "So, I mean your a better teacher than the teachers. I think I retained the stuff we went through...So uh yeah thanks."
"You're welcome Korra. And well you explained a lot of why things are done in sports. I guess I can see the fun in it." Asami says getting up. "So? Same time tomorrow?"
"Yeah." Korra smiles, "Same time tomorrow."
