I had dropped off Korra home and she seemed a bit better after the "incident". I was glad to know that. Locking the door to my mansion, I saw the lights turn on. "So, what took you so long this time?" My father, Amon asked me. I looked at him angrily. "Why do you even care? If I come home late or not is my decision so don't pretend you accept me as your son." I said coldly. "I will never accept you as my son, but it is my responsibility to make sure-" I heard him say that and got mad. "Responsibility?! What bullshit are you talking? Your
responsibility was to take care of mom and love our family and manage the whole business, but you failed to do that. You couldn't even keep yourself happy. You were greedy! You just wanted money. That's why you married mom. For money." I responded. My dad looked at me surprised. "Look, the only way to keep others happy is by keeping yourself happy, I wasn't happy so I just did some things resulting on your mother's suicide." I laughed. "Happy? When were you ever happy? You know what, I am sick of you so don't talk to me. I am going to my room." I walked up the stairs and sat on my bed thinking about Korra.

She mentioned something about falling in love but, what did she mean? Unless she fell in love with somebody before...And she also said how she recognized the voice of the man that was attacking us. What was that all about? I had too many things on my mind, but for now, I had to go to sleep. Stress wasn't really my thing so yeah. I took my blanket that was black and started sleeping.

The next day, I was hanging out with Asami and we were cracking up jokes. But then a group of girls came running up to me. "Mako! Is it true?!" They all screamed. Confused like Asami, I told them to clam down. "I really don't know what you guys are talking about." I said smiling. A short girl with a pink ponytail rolled her eyes. "It's you and that freaky blood bender, what's her name? Korra! You guys are going out?!" She yelled at me loudly. I wasn't sure of what they were talking about until I remembered what happened last night. And then I saw Korra walking in the hallway. "Y-Yeah! It's true." I said lying to myself and the girls. "Are you serious?! She is so ugly and all about hitting the books, why do you even like her?! Don't you like carefree girls?!" They asked me. Korra walked past me and I grabbed her hands. "Well, she is kind of carefree once you get to know her. She acts all shy but really, she's a great person to know, right Korra?" I asked hugging her. She had no clue of what I was talking about. "What are you talking about?" She said. I laughed weakly as Asami looked at me knowing something was fishy. "She's really shy right now. It takes a while for her to open up." Korra was blushing. I then told the girls and Asami I had to leave with Korra and pushed her near a pillar.

"What were they saying?!" She asked me. "It's a really long thing to explain, actually." I said scratching my head. "It's such that somebody saw us you know, kiss last night and because of that, they think we are going out. So, I am deciding to make you my girlfriend." I told Korra happily. "You can't just make somebody your girlfriend, Mako! You have to like that person with your heart." Korra's eyes were teary now. "Hey! Stop crying! And why are you, anyways?" I asked her. She wiped her eyes. "Nothing you need to know." Korra walked away but this time, I wasn't playing. I had to know everything about Korra's past life because it was affecting her now. "What happened to you? This damage to your eyes, you act as if you know how it feels to be loved by somebody yet you never say anything past that. Did you like a guy before?" I asked Korra while kids past us. "I don't want to talk about it." Korra said coldly. "Well that's too bad because now you'll need to. Talk to me Korra. If you want your problems to vanish, then you'll have to talk to somebody about them. And that's me so speak up." I explained to Korra. She pushed me away and walked. "Korra, this all won't work out with your cooperation. Somebody is after us and that person is somebody you know, I think. You won't tell me anything though. So spit it out." I said. Korra's hands turned it's fists and she grabbed her pants. "TonightI can talk about it. Just tell me where I can meet you." She said. I sighed and rubbed my head. "How about here at school? Nobody is here at night so we can talk about it here." I asked Korra. She agreed with me and walked away. Asami was behind me and tapped my shoulder. "Tell me what's going on. You both are really just friends, right?" Asami asked. I smiled. "You were right. Wow, you know a lot about me." I said surprised. "I have known you since we were in preschool, Mako, so I would know a lot about you." I laughed with Asami but was worried about Korra...

At night, I was with Korra and I brought some coke along the way for her since she didn't eat anything during lunch. "You wanna begin on
the story or what?" I asked Korra. She found her way to sit on the benches and I sat next to her. "I don't want to talk about it though. I want to forget it." Korra told me. I looked at her glasses and sighed. "Is it really that bad? Trust me, it couldn't have been that bad that you can't talk about it." I said drinking some of the coke. "It is worse than anything you could think about, Mako! You don't understand! What I went through is horrible for anybody to go through!" Korra yelled throwing the coke. It fizzed and exploded on the floor. "So, I'm guessing the guy did something super bad. At least give me a hint." I pleaded Korra. "It would be something a girl would never want from a guy. Never." Korra was getting sad and started crying more. She was a pretty soft and delicate girl. Unless the guy had touched her or raped her or something. "Did he-he forced himself on you?" I asked Korra. She was sweating and was worried. "I'm not saying anything else. You know it, so don't talk about this to other people." She asked me to do. "I-I'm sorry that happened." I said feeling bad for Korra. "Didn't you ever complain?" I asked her. "Of course. But nobody believed me so, that's when in anger I bloodbended the principal of my middle school. And now you know why people call me a freak." She said.

I didn't know what to say. Korra had went through so much and nobody trusted her. "But that's over now, right? So, keep it a secret between you and me, will you?" She asked me smiling as if nothing had happened. "Korra, can I ask you a favor?" I said smirking. "That way, I won't go past the border between our friendship." Korra asked me what I wanted. "You never open your hair or take off your blind glasses thingy. How about you do it now?" I said. Korra's face seemed surprised. "I don't like doing it." She said walking away. "I don't
really think you will look bad. Just do it." I said. Korra sighed and took off her black glasses and unbraided her hair.

She was beautiful. I mean, she wasn't ugly before but she seemed like an ordinary person's face. But now that I looked at her, Korra's eyes were light blue and her long dark brown hair made me want to really be her boyfriend now. "Korra, you know, you look really pretty right now, right?" I asked her. "I don't know that. I'm blind, remember that." She said blushing. "In fact, your'e so pretty every boy in the school would probably want you to be their girlfriend, including me." Korra's eyes grew wide in embarrassment and she put back on her glasses and started braiding her hair. "What are you doing?! Leave it like that." I said taking her glasses off. And then, I fell on the floor on top ofher.

"Um...This is awkward..." I said. Korra felt the hard pavement and pushed me away. "That's why I don't like my hair open. I don't want people to see who I really look like." She wiped her hands.
"Otherwise, the same thing will happen to me as it did before." Her eyes began to shine in the light and I got up. "You don't trust anybody anymore. That's why you keep your distance from others because when you needed your friends, they backstabbed you, right?" I asked Korra. She finished braiding her hair and played with her shirt. I
smiled and hugged her from behind. "You have to learn to trust others. If you can't make yourself happy, how can you make others happy? Including me." I closed my eyes and rested my head on her shoulders. "What are you doing?!" Korra yelled. "What am I doing? Hugging you, of course." I said. Korra got angry. "You promised you wouldn't pass the line." I sighed. "Passing the line is kissing you and calling you hot. I'm not doing that though. I'm hugging you 'cause you need one." I said. Korra rolled her eyes. "And plus even if I was passing the line, you are the one who's blushing and heart's beating fast right now. You like me doing this, don't you?" I asked Korra. She pushed me away. "As if! I want to go home so let me go home now." She said cracking her knuckles. "Fine." I walked Korra home for the third time already and we talked along the way. She acted as if her past wasn't a big dealbut to me, it was...
