Mako's POV

*BEEP BEEP BEEP BE- the alarm clocks screeches before I slammed my hand down on it, frantically looking for the off button. I finally hit it and looked over to see that Bolin was still snoring as loud as he was before; I exhaled, relieved. I picked up the alarm and saw it was 5:03. I sighed and got up, looking for more "assignments" on my phone.

If you're wondering, I'm Mako, Bolin's older brother. I'm also, very ashamed to say, a part of the Triple Threat Triad. I'm not exactly a big role play in it, but I do take part, guarding, jumping another gang every once in a while. And it's not, in any way, fun either. But they helped me and my brother out when we were on the streets after our parent's death. I had to pay them back somehow.

They recruited me a couple years back, but I forbid them from getting Bolin into anything. They fought me for a while about it, but they soon agreed to keep him out of it; if I did extra work for them. He still doesn't know I'm a part of a gang, and it's hard, hiding this from him. But sometimes, you got to do what you got to do.

I turned my phone on and saw 2 new messages from Shady Shin.

Shady Shin: "Hey, there's been rumors about the Agni Kai's spreading around lately. Be careful, and if you end up getting in a fight with them, try contacting us somehow."

Oh, so they actually care about my well-being now? I rolled my eyes and went to the next message.

Shady Shin: "By the way, be over at the TTT hide out TONIGHT at 12. Boss says we'll be unpacking goods but we need cover. No exceptions either, you have to be there. See you soon."

I massaged my temples, frustrated. Not only have they sent me off on every mission they could this summer, but their doing it on SCHOOL nights too. Fantastic. I went on and got ready for school; I can't sleep anyway. Even if school does start at 8.

I took a quick shower and got something to wear; a plain red t-shirt, dark blue jeans and black converse. I just put on my shirt on when I turned to see Bolin sitting up on the bed, stretching and yawning. I smiled; "I see sleeping beauty finally woke up," I joked. He threw a pillow in my direction but I dodged it.

"Hey! Everyone needs their beauty sleep!" he retorted, grinning. I rolled my eyes; "Whatever you say bro. You really need to get ready though," I advised. He looked at me like I said something crazy. "But it's only 5:30!" he groaned, pulling the covers over him again. I was starting to become agitated. "C'mon bro, we'll go get breakfast if you do," I said, knowing he'd change his mind.

Bolin sat up abruptly; "On second thought, it is the first day of school. I should get ready now," he agreed. I grinned; he went up, took a shower and got ready. We soon got out and were walking towards a near restaurant before he noticed that Bolin was dressing a bit better than normal.

"Someone dressing to impress?" I asked, snickering. Bolin smiled, straightening his shirt a little. "Hey, you never know," he responds, winking. We soon made it in the restaurant, and we ate, but we were almost late for school, due to Bolin flirting with the woman at the cash register.

"You just HAD to flirt with the lady, didn't you?" I huffed at him, as we now ran to school. Bolin looked over at me, trying to give me that "innocent look"; "Sorry Mako," Bolin apologized, grinning abashed. We soon made it to school though, everyone talking to each other, telling each other what they did in the summer, others just meeting their friends. We soon made it inside before Bolin was off to get our schedules. Well, he was supposed to.

All he was doing was gawking at someone in the window next to the office. I shook my head at my brother. "Bro, what the hell are you doing?" Bolin jumps, taken off guard; then he turns to me, pointing in the window. I looked and saw two girls, getting their schedules. But then I saw the dark-skinned girl waterbend the water in the air, and then evaporate it with a small ball of fire underneath it. So she's the avatar everyone's been spreading rumors about. I've got to admit, she's pretty damn good looking too, with her very curvy figure and chocolate-like skin…

"WOAH. Hold the phone Mako, what are you thinking?" I asked myself incredulously. Bolin caught me staring at the girl, and grinned at me diabolically. Oh spirits.

"Soooo, which one is it?" he asks, pointing towards the window indiscreetly. I could feel my cheeks flame as he asked. "Neither, I was just shocked to see the avatar is all," I snapped, turning away, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"C'mon bro, just tell me! You need a girlfriend anyways. Who knows, maybe I can hook you up," he says, messing my hair up. "Hey!" I shouted at him. He laughed and started running away before he ran right into the girl. I was about to help before I froze right in my place after seeing this girl. By the spirits above, this girl was beyond gorgeous. She had bright blue eyes that anyone could get lost in, and her figure was just curvaceous.

"Oh my goodness, I am so…" Bolin starts to apologize before he looked at her up close. I didn't have to look at him to tell he was looking her up and down. I rolled my eyes, went up and pushed his back with my foot a little, trying to break him out of his gaze. He soon snapped out of his gaze and held his hand out for his, about to pull her up.

"Sorry," he said, grinning sheepishly. I shook my head at him and went inside the office to get our schedules. I soon got them and went to give Bolin his before glancing at this girl quickly. "Oh! Korra, this is my older brother Mako. He can be an ass most of the time, but he's a cool guy," Bolin taunted, smiling at his brother.

I smacked his shoulder at that comment. "Hey!" I yelled. Korra giggled at us. I grinned, and turned to her.

"So what classes do you have?" I asked curiously. Korra handed her paper over to me, her face bright with a blush. Bolin and I looked at the paper, Korra's eyes looking at us amused.

"Alright! We have three classes together," Bolin said cheerfully. "You, bro?" Bolin questions me. I looked at the paper again and I was surprised. I looked up grinning; "Four classes," I replied. Bolin smiled at me knowingly. Korra just looked down, a little embarrassed by it all.

"That's cool! How about we escort her to her first class, seeing that we all have the same one," he says, looking at Korra questioningly. Korra nodded. "Sure!" And we made our way towards the class~
