Mako POV
I felt like I was buying drugs. It was just an hour ago that the best time of my life had just occurred. But I wanted to know everything about her. So I went to the school gossipers. Yes, they had a name. The "Gossip Tree: Where for just $9.99 you can know everything about anything." It sounded stupid. But I heard that they had reliable information. I walked up to the "Owner" and I knocked on the door. A tired looking girl came out and motioned for me to come in. I sat down with her in the foyer.
"My name is Kiki. What is you want to know?" Kiki asked.
"Everything about Korra Melenoski." I replied. Her face lit up.
"I am a MASTER on this subject. But it's a long story. So brace yourself." She started.
"In ninth grade no one was dating yet. But everyone had crushes. Almost every girl in the school liked Nao Thomas and every boy liked Korra. So, it only made sense that the two got together eventually. And they were perfect. Seriously. They were inseperable, everyone thought they were going to be the couple that got married one day. But everything changed (when the fire nation attacked) when Nao's mom died. He started drinking and doing drugs. Howl made Korra break up with him, even though she thought she could help him, Howl knew he was too far gone. This pissed Nao off. I think somewhere deep down he really did love Korra, which is why he left for a month and came back. Everyone thought he got better, because he acted like it. He was always happy and smiling, he never once showed any signs of a hangover or being high. No one thought a thing. Except when they realized that Korra was showing up to school less, wearing long sleaved shirts and jeans a lot. She always was upset and she went to the bathroom and cried a ton. No one really asked her about it she just denied. A lot. She only told one person, her best friend."
"Asami." I said. But Kiki shook her head solemnly.
"Jennifer Chance." I must've look bewildered. "yeah you'd never have guessed, huh? Well Jennifer ended up going in front of the whole school at lunch and screamed out Korra's secret. Made fun of her. But no one laughed along with Jennifer. They were too worried about the girl sprinting out of the room."
"What was the secret?" I ask eagerly
"Nao sexually and physically abused her. He never got to rape, Howl got to him before he could. Thank the lord."
"What did Jennifer say, exactly?" I demanded.
"I quote, 'Hey everyone! Y'all know Maxie over there? Yeah well her and Nao aren't as innocent as they see. Even though she doesn't want it, she lets him fuck around with her, LITTERALLY! What a wimp! Like learn how to say 'no, dumbass'." She must've seen the anger inside of me building up. "Then Asami beat the living shit out of her at the end of the day. That's how Korra and Asami became best friends. Then Howl and half the football team beat up Nao, Nao left the school for good. Everyone thought that life would go back to normal. But the Meleonski's have another secret. No one really knows. But sometimes Korra will come to school with a black eye or bruises on her body. One time there was this giant cut going all the way from her ankle to her mid-thigh. No one knows what really happens, she comes up with lame excuses that everyone pretends to believe because she's nice and popular. Hasn't dated anyone sense Nao, except I have sources that tell me Sam Williams kissed her in homeroom and she kissed him back. But he was seen kissing Shelly Herbert only two hours later. May or may not have kissed Mako- you at Asami Sato's party, only to be seen sprinting away and crying from you and the slut of the year making out." She finished, glaring at me.
I looked to the ground with regret. "What do you have on me?" I said quietly.
"Mako: The new 'bad-boy' in school, you have a major crush on Korra Meleonski. Indefinite kiss with Korra at Asami Sato's mansion. You made Korra cry within only a week of meeting her by kissing her arch nemesis only trying to get her jealous. You carried her home the next week after her spending an hour in the hall, crying. Only to come back the next day as 'just friends' you offered to give her tutoring for history and had a lot of… fun." She smirked.
"What makes you say that?" I said, grinning.
"Well, counting on the size of that hickey" She smirked again, "it seems you two did more than study. My face got red and I rubbed the side of my neck, trying to hid the hickey.
"now leave, im tired." She shooed me out of her house. I got out my phone and started texting.
(Mako: underlined italics
Jennifer: Bold underlined)
To: Jennifer
We are so over.
To: Korra
Hey ;)
From: Jennifer
WHAT? WHY?
To: Jennifer
Cause you're a bitch to the girl I love.
Yeah, a girl I loved, it felt right.
From: Jennifer
Ewwww you like Korra? She's so… slutty and whore-ish and UGLY. I mean her boobs are totally fake, her eyes aren't even blue they're brown she wears fake ass contacts, AND I hear she has hair extensions. SHE IS FAKE.
To: Jennifer
Sorry, I'm confused. Why are you describing yourself?
And she didn't text back. Thank the lord. But why wasn't Korra texting back? I was scared. In all honesty I wanted to be with her, and with earlier tonight… God, I just wanted to be with her more. I found myself at the house before I could think about it any longer.
Bolin was waiting for me at the door. "Explain."
So I told him. I told him how I had taught her history. And *wink wink* respectfully *wink* shook her hand. *wink* then when I lay on my bed she had asked to smell my cologne and so she put her nose to my neck and smelled it. He burst out laughing.
"You're telling me that you two did nothing?" He grinned. Uh oh.
I nodded.
Ok good cause, when I walked in I could totally see her ass, I mean her shorts are SHORT, and dayum. Dat. Ass. I'm glad you two aren't together cause I'm thinking about asked her out. Bolin grinned.
I punched his arm
" She's Mine." I grumble.
"Believe me, she marked you as hers also." He chuckled.
My face reddened and I remembered the hickey.
"bro, don't lie to me. No use. But if you guys break up I'm breaking the bro code and asking her out." He chuckled as I walked up the stairs.
I turned on my heel and mouthed the word "Mine."

Korra POV
I feel bi-polar. Two days ago I was wearing an American flag shirt… and today I'm wearing a British one. I feel like Benedict Arnold. Booyah history term while I'm thinking to myself? I think yes. Anyway my shirt was very similar to the one I had worn with the American flag… except this one was British. It showed most of my naval. I had red jean shorts on with little rips along them. A white belt held them up. My shoes, are quite obvious. The side where my hair was longer (due to my side part) was pulled back into a braid. And sunglasses. Holy shit. I felt badass. (link for the outfit in my profile, cause I'm awesome bruh) I really think I'm bi-polar.
Just as I pulled off my helmet I saw his car. Mako's. It was a red open jeep. It matched his personality. Then I remembered what happened on Friday. I sprinted to the school before he could see me.
Operation: AMAC is officially in order.
Avoid Mako at All Costs.
If people knew about Mako and I would become a slut. And I know, that sounds terrible. I sound super shallow and that all I care about is my popularity. Well, no. We've already established that Sam and I have- used to have a thing. (remind me, I have to go confront him about that) and Mako still hasn't broken up with Jennifer…
Oh. My. God.
I helped him cheat on her. Oh wait, she did the same to me. Guilt is already gone. In all honesty I wanted the bitch to give me a reason to beat her up. I had never gotten to it. Of corse, Asami (god I love her) beat her up but I could do worse. Break her fake little nose and wipe the slutty smirk she always had on her face after she kisses Mako. The way she thinks she looks sexy when she looks at him through her eyebrows but she looks like shes trying to take a shit right there on his lap. Wait… am I jealous?
No.
Why would I be jealous of that whore? She'd have sex with a guy if he said 'hi' to her. Seriously. Shes a slut. I think too much.
Bam.
"again?" I quietly yell. I look up, praying its not who it was the first time. But no, thank god. Must be a new kid. His eyes flicker to my chest. I roll my eyes. "another pervert to add into the mix?" I groan.
He laughed. "um, no. I'm gay…" he stated.
My eyes widened. "oh… well, ok." I got up and helped him off the floor. I shook his hand, "Korra."
"Tahno." (A/N: Ok DON'T GET MAD AT ME. I am NOT calling Tahno from the show, gay. Just in this story, because it's modern and not everyone is going to be straight. Also a few days ago, a friend of mine killed himself because of people bullying him over his homosexuality. I'm just bringing to attention that it's not ok to bully people like that. So, Tahno is gay in my story. If you don't like it, peace out bro! Or just ignore it. I don't care! But it is my story and he's gay. Theres no changing it!)
"What's your first class?" I asked him.
"Science." He made a 'bleh' face. I laughed.
"Me too, you're a junior, right?" He nodded. "Come on, let's go!" I grab his hand. But i can feel the deep prickling in my neck. I wanted to turn around, but I was avoiding him, therefore eye contact was not to be made.
By lunch Howl and Asami were staring at me, and Tahno looked confused.
"soooo Korrrraaa. How was you and Mako's first date?" Howl asked me after staring at me.
"It was NOT a date, if you see him, tell me. I'll need to go hide." I said.
Asami gasped. "YOU TWO MADE OUT."
Howl laughed, "You macked with mako!"
"No! I did not! He tutored me and I respectfully left!"
Howl and Asami were biting their bottom lips. But they couldn't hold it in any longer. They burst of laughing. They were laughing so loud, everyone stared at our table.
"Then why are you avoiding him? And more importantly, if you didn't give him that huge hickey than who did?"
"Ummm Jennifer! Yeah! His girlfriend. Wait how do you know he has a hickey? Do you see him?" I ask, scanning the area.
"You're telling me all about this after school." Asami said, in a demanding tone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~my head iches really bad. No joke oh and I guess it would be helpful to know that if you take a right on Lexington, you aint gunna get to the ghetto in death. P.S. time skip to after school!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have no idea why I liked Tahno so much. He was cool. Asami liked him too. Which is why we're all going to my house right now. Asami and Tahno following me home. Everytime I was at a stoplight I would turn and make sure they were following me. I think they were racing though, cause everytime I turned someone different would be in front. Asami would wink at me, Tahno would burst out laughing. I grinned from under my helmet. Until I saw a glimpse of a red jeep. I tried to duck my head but im on a motorcycle. There's no cover. The light had just turned green when I heard a voice yell behind me "Korra!"
Bolin? I asked myself as I turned the corner, pretending not to hear. I heard several honks and then the jeep was next to me. I turned my head, since we were on a straightaway and saw Bolin's head peeking out the window, Mako driving.
"shit." I mutter. I flick the eye shield up to get a better look. I wave then I speed up, hoping he gets a clue. He doesn't. I look back to see Tahno in the lead, and I smile. I pull into my driveway and ran into the house. Luckily, Mako's car never pulled up in my driveway. Tahno did come over and we talked about things that Asami and I usually talked about. Our favorite T.V. shows (Glee, Grey's Anatomy, and Avatar the Last Airbender.), our favorite couples in them (Rachel and Finn, Derrick and Meredith, and Zuko and Katara c: (you know it)), and boys. We also decided on going to the mall on Friday and having a sleepover at my place. And honestly, I was excited.
~~~Im on a suger high, its firkin 12:48 am WHY YOU NO LET ME SLEEEEEEEEP~~~
She had done it. She had finally pushed me over the edge.
Flashy flashy flash back
"Hey, Kor Kor" I heard an annoying tone ring out behind me. I turned from my conversation with Tahno.
"I hear you're whoring around with my boyfriend, huh? Well back the fuck up, bitch."
I stared at her. "Honey, I would stop while your face is still in tact."
"And trying to seduce the school fag? Wow. That's a new low for even you, Kor Kor."
"Strike. Three."
I've never punched anyone harder in my whole life. She was unconscious in one punch. Her little minons screamed and ran to get the principal. Tahno and I burst out laughing."
Flashy flashy backy backy
So here I was, sitting on the school steps, waiting for Howl to come and shake his head as I tell him I'm suspended until next Monday. I snapped out of my dream-like state to see Mako out of the corner of my eye, sitting in the office. Wonder what he did. But when he saw me, I bolted. I stood from the step and jogged down the rest of the stairs. I walked across the road and hopped on my bike.
"Korr-"
The rumbles of my bike cut him off. Before he even made it to the stairs I was on my way home.
Ok. Boring chappie I know. But the next one will get quite interesting. I hope. Suggestions… please…. *dies on the sidewalk because of lack of no ideas.* seriously. This story is going to get pretty boring unless I get some new, HIP IDEAS. YEAH I SAID HIP. AS IN HIP HIP HURRAYYY FOR NEW IDEASSSSS. No hate on gay tahno! That is all!
