(I can't believe I got a review already anyway THANK YOU! YOU MADE MY DAY! And to say thank you I have posted another, shorter, chapter.)
Chapter 2
We go to Bolin's favorite place. He really likes the noodles. We settle into a booth. Me across from Korra and Bolin, and Mako and Asami at the end of the table. Asami looks at me.
"Sorry you don't have a date. You'll find someone someday." she says encouragingly.
"I hope someday is soon because I've been a fifth wheel for too long," We giggle.
Asami is a really good friend to me. We hang out a lot. She even tries to set me up with guys sometimes, they never really work out though. We look at our menus. I skim over it quickly than over again. The food sounds delicious.
"Who's that over there?" Korra asks as she points behind me. I turn around to find guy with fancy black hair watching us.
"That's Tahno," says Bolin. "He's part of the WolfBats. Undefeated pro bending champions 3 years in a row."
"Until this year," adds Mako with a grin. I'm still watching Tahno. He's still watching me. This should be awkward but there is no awkwardness, only glares. He gets up and signals his group to follow. He's walking up to us.
"Oh no," says Bolin. "He's coming." He buries his face into his menu.
"Well, well, well. Look who it is. The Fire Ferrets. Pro bending's saddest excuse for a team." Tahno walks up and faces Bolin and Korra. "And their company," he faces me. I glare at him. "Why are you with these bozo's? Your mother is powerful. Come hang out with some real men," he bends down so we're face to face. "I'm not an Earthbender but... I could still give you some private lessons," we glare at each other. Korra gets up from her seat.
"Do you want to go toe to toe with me pretty boy?"
He shoots me an evil smile and turns away to face Korra. "Go for it." he stares down at her. "I'll give you the first shot."
Korra raises her hand.
"No, Korra," says Bolin. "If you hit him we're out of the tournament."
She glares at Tahno and slowly sits down. He follows her eyes all the way down. He only has two seconds to laugh before I punch him straight across the face. He staggers.
"Good thing I'm not in the tournament," I smile, sit down and read over my menu. I don't look up until I know he's gone. I look up. My friends stare at me. I feel their eyes on me. They're surprised. I'm not usually this upfront. Tahno brought out a side of me I never knew existed. I liked the rush.
They start to look at each other, confused. Then they burst out laughing. I laugh with them. It's funny to see Tahno stumble.
"DID YOU SEE HIS FACE?! THAT WAS PRICELESS!" says Bolin gasping for air.
"Oh my, WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?" asks Korra.
I shrug.
We're still laughing as we leave over an hour later.
