Sorry this chapter is a little short. It's just that I REALLY have to study for mid-term exams, so I won't be updating as often this week (as if I had been updating daily *I say sarcastically*).

Anywho, I hope you all enjoy the chapter which was an idea from one of the readers who I don't wanna name just in case they... Just don't :|
But, if you want credit for the idea of this chapter [and most of the dialogue (which has been slightly changed, but is still 'trademarked')] just let me know and I'll give you a shout-out in the next chapter ;)

Favorite, Follow, and Review. Alright... Enjoy :)

Chapter 6

It was about 6:30 when mom and I finished revising our budgets to fit our pay-checks. We were just finishing up a calm conversation about what happened earlier today.

"So do you promise me to not get detention for fighting and cursing like a sailor again?" Mom asked, almost sounding sarcastic. But that was just to lighten the mood. She was more serious than a war.

I let a giggle pass my lips as I placed the bills in a red milk crate on the kitchen table. "I promise, mom." I guaranteed with a reassuring tone.

!RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING!

"I'll get it." I offered as I stood from the frail, delicate chair and making my way to the dirty white wall phone that was fixed next to the old stove. "What?" I greeted with unintentional rudeness before realizing I did, but quickly 'fixed' it. "I mean- Hello?" (True story).

"Uh…" A deep, male voice trailed off. "Is- Is this Korra…?" The voice asked rather overexcited to be talking to someone.

I was skeptical, so I decided to ask him questions before I tell him my name. "… Who's speaking?" I asked; not gonna trust someone unless I know who they are first. (A|N: Being maimed is not fun).

"Uhhhh…" The voice said as if he was contemplating on whether or not he can trust me enough to speak his name. He's just as paranoid as I am… "This is… Mako…" He confessed then paused, waiting for a reply, as I suddenly lit up with joy.

"Oh! Hey, Mako!" I greeted enthusiastically then heard him let out a low chuckle. "What's up?" I asked, leaning against the wall behind me to get comfortable.

*PHONE CONVO BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT, MOTHER FUCKERS B|*

Key: Korra - Mako

I was just wondering if Principal Nathans called your parents yet… About skipping DT? *Mako asks in a somewhat tense manner.

Yeah, he did! Not only that, but my mom told me Eska told Principal Nathans that she was 'just trying to be my friend, but she and her friends beat us up for no good reason.' That's a load of horse-cow shit!
*I exclaim, feeling like I can be my abrasive self around him.

WHAT!? That's not fair! That was in self-defense!
*He shouts, making me pull the phone away from my ear a bit.

Completely! They attacked us first! Ergo, we have the right to fight back!
*I agree, my mother's law terminology absentmindedly coming into play.

Principal Nathans can't hear one side of the story then accuse us!
*He lets out an angry groan.

We are entitled to due process under the law!
*I say, once again, law creeping its way into my vocabulary.

Yes! Exactly what you said; Yes! You can't just tell someone's parents and/or guardians that you just beat up a kid for no reason! He's acting partial! It's completely unjust.
*He says, saying out loud what I was thinking myself.

That's why I just got away with a warning, because my mom knows I wouldn't just randomly beat someone up!
*I respond, glad I wasn't grounded.

Bolin and I got a lecture from our Uncle Toza and we have clean the entire premises of the house! We're half way through and Uncle let us have a break, and I'm getting really wiped out from all the work, so I just thought I'd call you to make a schedule for when we visit each other to work on the project which I remembered because I wrote it down, otherwise I would've forgotten and not have even mentioned it and also for the driving arrangement for when you come over tomorrow, and- OOHHH! American Horror Story is on! … What was I talking about…?
*He says in one, big run-on sentence. But I somehow catch the gist of it, knowing much too well that I myself inattentively become distracted during a conversation.

Ummm… We can meet up on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays for the project, which we still need to figure out what to do; maybe something easy regarding easy to find materials, but not something cliché like coke and mentos or something- I don't know, we'll figure it out when I get to your place. Uhhhh… Your house really isn't walking distance and neither of us own a car… Maybe Asami could pick us up 'er something… And you were talking about the punishment your Uncle gave you.
*I say, trying to get Mako back on track.

Oh, right... It just makes me so angry that someone can be this OBLIVIOUS! … I- I'm sorry… I usually don't get this carried away…I just feel… Myself, around you…
*He says, not knowing that I don't mind because I deal with the same type of shit everyday.

It's alright, Mako. It's nice to talk with someone who understands… But I'm sure we'll get the chance to explain what happened tomorrow.
*I suggest, attempting to calm him down without giving off the wrong vibe that says 'you're getting too angry.'

I hope you're right…
*He says with a sigh

And… I feel myself around you, too… It's like we're connected… N- never-mind- sorry. You probably don't wanna be bothered with my concept of humankind…
*I say, brushing off the topic before he gets bored.

Hey… You're not bothering me one bit, Korra. I'm, in fact, interested in unusual spiritual beliefs like Witches and Wiccans and stuff… Alright, Uncle! I'll be right there! … Sorry, Korra. I gotta go, but… See ya tomorrow on the bus…?
*He says, capturing my interest.

Yeah, totally. See ya tomorrow…
*I say before he hangs up; hanging up the phone as well, I leaned against the wall to breathe for a second.

*END OF PHONE CONVO*

'I feel like I can tell him anything about me and he'll relate to it…' I thought as I smiled to myself, walking back to my room to start my homework.

I have to go to sleep now...
