KORRA POV
I cant believe that im surrounded by idiots who cant even get their history right! Where do they get these facts from anyway?! Badgermoles!?
I was currently skimming through the science texts books, they had stuff like 'You use the enery in your body to redirect lightning in your fingers'. I mean its part true but we can all tell they love to include the 'detailed facts'. *sarcasm*. I shaked my head as I continued to read. I know whats right because General Iroh taught me. It runs in the family.
DING DING! Thank god its break!
I walked out of the classroom, determined to find the dinner hall. It was quite easy as I could just follow the cluster of people all hungry for a flameo noodles.
As I walked in the hall, I noticed that everyone was either wearing red, green, or blue. I guess thats how they can tell what type of bender they are. I wonder if thats why Pema got me so much blue clothes. I stopped my trail of thought when I walked into the dining hall ; I noticed Bolin sitting at a table with some other guy with a red scarf. Could that be Mako, his brother? Probably. I walked over casually and took a seat next to Bolin.
"Hey Bo" I greeted, smiling as I took out an apple from my bag. I must of packed that last night.
"Hey korra! How's your first day so far?" Bolin asked while the other guy just stared at something in the distance, probably not caring.
"Not bad, but the text is all wrong! I thought the teachers taught us- I've been teaching them!" I complained. At this, the guy with the scarf turned to look at me, studing my face, then turned back around. Hes awfully rude.
"Haha, anyway, this is my brother, Mako", he guesterd towards him and he looked at me, "Hi", I introduced.
"Bo, im gonna get my books out for class next, goodbye korra", he said, turned, and sped outside.
"Yh, been a real pleasure", I mumbled and looked back to Bolin.
"So korra, you any good at waterbending?", he asked.
"Yh, if I do say so myself, why?" I was trying not to get to involved in talking about this. Dont wanna spill on my first day. Ive already bought enough attention to myself as it is with all the, magical facts that nobody else surprisingly knew about. Oh well.
"Well, me and my brother Mako, have a team for Pro-Bending. We need a third player: a waterbender. Do you wanna try out?"
"Pro-Bending?! I read about it in the newspapers and listen to it on the radio! Sure".
"Cool, come to the gym after school", Bolin said, " We might get a place in the Championships!"
"Alright then, I'll be there, but I thought you had a waterbender?"
"Oh you mean Hasook? He ditched us last night coz Mako was 'too little flameo and too much blameo'"
We both bursted with laughter at his comment before I fetched my P.E kit out my locker and then walked to P.E. "Sooo, can you teach me some of the rules of Probending because reading it or listening to it, doesnt exactly teach you the rules." I asked. Bolin nodded and smiled before adding a "Sure" as we walked our seperate ways, to get changed for P.E.
I walked through the door to the girls changing rooms and got changed. I had a blue top with short sleeves and blue shorts, long white and blue socks - pulled up to my knee and the same blue trainers I was wearing before. My hair was already up so I walked out ready to go before being stopped by a teacher.
"Armbands. Off " wow they are strict with uniform.
"Yes mam" I walked back into the changing room, and out again, after leaving my armbands behind. I stood in the crowd of girls and watched the boys jog to the feild. We were in the sports hall, whereas the boys were doing football on the feild. At least we were doing my favourite sport.
Basketball.
P.E was over 2 periods. The first is sport and the second is bending.
Basketball was over in no time. By the end my team had 20 goals - all of which I scored and our opponents had 2. I couldn't help but laugh every time I thaught of it. The teacher excused us for a 5 minuite break before our bending period. I was just going to walk out to get my water, but the teacher shouted for me. I walked over to her and inpatiently waited.
"Korra you are amazing at Basketball. Would you like a spot on the team?" Mam asked. I was not expecting that at all. Oh My Gosh!
"You mean I dont have to try out?" The teacher nodded. " .Yes! I would love to!"
I ran out to fetch my water, way too over excited. I came back - ready for some fun, badass bending.
"Okay, evryone find a partner to spar with, spar until there is a winner, and then if you lose, go sit down on the bench. If you win, come over me, and we will keep doing this until there is 2 left. Then we will have an ultimite spar. Dont forget what I taught you. Watch closely and know your opponent before you attack."
I was partnered up with a girl named kara, she didn't look atall intimidating. "LETS DO THIS"
After swiftly directing the water to her feet, she fell and broke her stance. This is damm easy. After kicking everyone's butts, apart from one, I got ready to face the last person. She was tall, but didn't look strong - she had this big grin on her face like she was gonna win. I just wanted to wipe that stupid grin off her stupid face. The match began with a whistle and she immediately chucked water for my face. I dodged and rolled on the floor sending two wips to her legs. She tumbled back before rising a large amount and, again, chucking it for my face. She's not very swift for a waterbender ; this teacher must be bad. Then again, I am a master, so I let her know that. I fliped past her attack and rose a massive wall of water behind me. I ran forwards and lauched it in her direction. She was flug back a good few feet on the ground. Yet again, Ill probably be teaching the teacher!
"Well done Korra", the teacher began, flatterd, "Where did you learn to move like that?" Oh no.
"My dad taught me?" It was more of a question than a fact, "Yeah, he taught me". I think I got through that.
"Ok, well make sure you go to the gym after school to try out for the pro-bending team. You'll do good". With that, the bell rang for lunch.
AFTER SCHOOL
I walked to the gym, already knowing to meet Bolin there. I saw him doing some earthbending punches with the earth dics they use for Probending. I cant wait to make the team, and kick some probenders butts!
"Hey Bolin!" I shouted, from the line of waterbenders trying out for the team. He smiled at me, glad I finally made it.
"Hey Korra! Good Luck! I didn't think they'd be so many people here!" Bolin shouted back.
"Or did I" I mumbled, incoherently. I was already tired from school, now I have to face all these people as well! I hardly know the rules! I was last in the line, watching peoples pathetic excuses for fighting. After a while, FINALLY it was my turn. Watching Bolin and Mako fight these people did give me some thoughts on how to pro-bend but I was still clueless. I swiftly walked over as Mako lifted his chin up- probably wondering if im good and why I'm here. ILL SHOW HIM HOW A REAL PERSON FIGHTS!. Bolin yelled go and the match comensed. All the other tryers were watching to see their competion.
Mako through a fire punch which I easily dodged, while dodging I kicked several water whips in his direction. Mako just jumped up and kicked fire at me. I REALLY wanted to just firebend, but I couldn't. I wouldn't. I rolled and kicked his leg as he stumbled to the ground - but still standing. With that moment of hesitation i attacked. I released a powerful punch which sent him flying. Revenge for being rude earlier.
I beat him. I did it.
