I woke up that evening to my alarm clock. Knowing what was instore for me today, I jumped frantically out of bed, and into the shower. After stripping I climed in, feeling the warm, welcoming, waves wash over me. Hot. I felt great and I dredded going to airbending training with Tenzin. Should I go to pratice too? I can miss school but I know how much the championship means to Mako and Bolin. Jumping out the shower I dried my hair, platting two small plats around the saides of my face and tied them at the back of my head. I brushed the other hair - that was down - then went to put my airbenders uniform or clothes. Whatever. I grabbed my tainers and put them on whilst walking to the dining room. Yep : I could multi task.

I sat down next to Tenzin who was reading the newspaper. He looked at me, sighed, then handed it over. It was infront of me; on the table. It read :

Leader of the Equalists : Amon, has gone up to enimy number one! His speach was heard by all the city and benders are terrified. What does Amon have in store for us benders? How is he going to achieve equality? He states that: ' benders are not safe at Republic City High, the first equlaist attack was not the last. We will get you and show you what your destiny is'.

People are questioning the whoabouts and whereabouts of the Avatar. Leaders say she would be around 16 -18 years old. Amon suggested he knew about the Avatars presence or did he? Is he setting the Avatar up knowing they'll come to the reascue? How does he know that the Avatar is in the city?

Reporters say the best way to deal with Amon is to have the Avatar with the police force. But where is the Avatar? Are they hiding or scared?

All I can say is...

Republic City needs its Avatar. But where are they?

After reading I sat there waiting for Tenzin to speak. Fortunately he did.

"Did you read it?" I nodded as Tenzin put his arm on my sholder. Probably trying to comfort me. If I could have anyones company id have the brothers. Bolin to make me laugh, and Mako to tell me everything will be alright. " Dont take any notice to the paper. Amon is just trying to scare us. What could he do to us to have equality? He cant get rid of us"

"You're right. But then what will he do?" I grabbed some fruit looking at it deeply. Cursing myself for being so pathetic. So scared like a coward. What could he possibly do?

Tenzin sighed, but answered. "I have no clue. But when he tells us, all we can do is be ready" I nodded not knowing what else to do. Or say. So I just ate. I wish I couldt just eat away my problems. "Why are you wearing that?" I stopped eating and looked at my airbending clothing. I gave a confused look to Tenzin. I couldnt be bothered - or wasnt in the mood - to speak. "Youve got probending pratice right? Then you cant possibly wear that" my eyes widened and my mouth was slightly opened. But wanting to be anywhere but here, with the burden of the Avatar, without protest I walked to my room getting changed for pratice this morning.

OooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooO

After changing into a simple white tank top and blue leggins, I made my way over to the arena. Once I made it to the gym, I saw Mako and Asami together. What a great start to the day! I just found Bolin and tried to ignored them - didn't work. All I could hear was Mako softly whispering into Asami's ear and her giggling. Ugggh I cant stand that sound. Angrily, I threw my duffle back onto the floor, yanked Bolins arm and pulled us over to the corner of the room to practise. We began with throwing a ball to eachother for warming up. Bolin noticed my annoyance on my face.

"Hey Korra, dont let Mako not practising get to you. I dont like it either", He mumbled. Glad he didn't spot the real problem : my jealously.

"Don't worry, im fine. Just get Asami otta' here so we can practise. And I wanna spend time with youand Mako as I won't see you until school tomorrow", I moaned.

"Ill try, and what? You not comming to school today? Again!", Bolin cried, "I don't wanna spend another day with Mako- he's always so serious!".

"Sorry Bolin but...um... my Dad's still sick. Ill be there tomorrow. Promise", I resured with a warm smile. It brightend up Bolin a bit, "NOW, get Mako over here!"

"Kay, on it"

Bolin walked over to Mako and Asami, interrupting there conversation. He coughed and began, "Sorry Asami, you gotta go. Mako needs to practise, but nice to see you!" Bolin then grabbed Makos arm, "Come on."He pulled Mako over as he tried to wave to Asami. I seriously can stand this. I might need some advice about couples and how I can get closer to Mako.

"Sorry, lets just practice", Mako said. FINALLY!

" Im glad that the 'Team Captain' finally wants to pratice with his team" I retorted. Mako can sometimes be a big jerk. He and Bolin are polar oppisites.

"Oh im sorry. I just had some catching up to do with my girlfriend besides, its none of your business. " I was hurt by his reply and the emphising of the world girlfriend. It hurt even more when he threw the ball at me with so much force I nearly fell over. Nearly. I clearly had hurt on my face and I think he was starting to see that.

"Oh im sorry. What was the crap you were talking about then? Remember when you kept scolding me at how important this is to you and Bolin? Well if its sooooooo important then, why not pratice? You know what? I dont care! Go and be all lovey dovey with your girlfriend ." I stumpped off after throwing the ball fiercely to Mako to which resulted in him falling and rolling back on the floor. I heard his calls as I walked out the gym. I ignored them. I already had enough problems.

MAKO POV

Ugghh, shes so irratating! But I was an idiot for saying that. She was right, this does mean alot to me and now that chance of winning might have just walked out of the door. I sighed in annoyance and picked myself up to walk over to Bolin, grab my bag and be off to School. Until, Bolin stopped me.

"Mako, go apologise", he stated and pointed at the door. I should, afterall, she was just trying to help. I nodded with confidence and ran out the arena after her - bag in hand. I could just hear Bolin yell, "Ill see you at school bro!".

When I was out of the arena, I frantically looked around the street for Korra. I barely spotted her just head around the corner up the street. I ran in her direction : not yelling orcalling after her. I dont want to chase her further off. When she was in sight, she then headed to the docks. Does she live on the coast line? Anyway, I chose to follow her until she jumped into the sea and swam off to the distance. There was no where to go but Air Temple Island. Why is she going there? I feel like I've been lied to ; ill have to find out at School tommorow. I haven't got time to chase after her - I made my way to school.

KORRA POV

Once I sensed someone following me, Mako, I bolted for the docks and dived in as fast as I could. I just prayed to the spirits he didn't see me. If not, Tenzin would blow up like a bomb. Suspicions are growing. As soon as I arrived, I water bent the droplets off of me and ran to the pavillion. I needed to calm down ; stupid Mako and his stupid ignorance. I maintained the mediating position and tried to empty my mind, until Tenzin spoke, "Korra, good to see you meditating. How was practise?".

"Soory, but I dont want to talk about it", I stated. If I were gonna talk about it to someone, it would be Pema - she seems to know alot about boy problems and shes calm and understanding, unlike Tenzin sometimes."Just call me when you want to go through the spinning gates".

"What about now, Ikki told me you managed to do it after your pro-bending match", Tenzin asked. I cant meditate anyway, why not?

"Ok then", I stood without meeting eye contact and walked over towards the hystorical contraction. I think Tenzins sensed my attitude, but chose to let me sort it out. I think I just need to take some time alone.

I spun through the gates gracefully - 'like a leaf' - and passed. Tenzin applauded and congragulated me. Then, for a hour or two, he took me through some different airbending forms ; still no air though. I hope this 'block', as Tenzin calls it, doesnt last to long. Especially with Amon at my heals. He's bound to attck soon -im just afraid my cover will blow : he already knows who I am and where im hiding. He'll use that to his advantage.

All this stress was consuming me, so I decided to blow off some steam with firebending. It really got me thinking about my airbendimg and how terrible im doing - bad is an understatement. "Ugghhh...AIRBEND! AIRBEND!", I did the arm movements and forms Tenzin showed me earlier, "IM THE WORST AVATAR EVER!". I wouldn't be suprised if someone just discovered my secret. This clearly wasn't working, so I went to go help Meelo, Ikki and Jinora feed the lemurs.

It was currently snowing so I decided to help. I walked up past the pavillion and up to a tree witha feeding basket on it.

I decided to ask first. "Want some help?" The three airbenders nodded and one blew up in my face. Litterally.

"Ooh yes please! Did you got to training today? Do you like probending? Is it hard? Are you amazing? Are you on the fire ferrets? Are they two boys? Are you close to them? Do they know you're the Avatar? Do you like one? Even love... did you-" ive had enough now.

After listening to her questions while climbing the ladder and puting some food in the cage I shouted : "enough Ikki!"

" What are your team mates names?" Politely asked Jinora.

"They're called : Bolin and Mako. Bolins an earthbender and Makos a fire bender. They go to the school I go to too."

"Is Mako hot. Like ya know. Hes a firebender"

"Ikki!" We all shouted in unison.

"Well..." Jinora asked. I raised my eye brows. Jinora lauged. I dont get it. "Answer Ikkis question Korra" oh right.

My cheeks went red at the thought of Mako. Then I got angry. He was such a jerk earlier! What is with him! Hes soo selfish!

All the girls laughed at my reaction from blushing to ranting in my head. "Sooo..."asked meelo. I sighed but decided to tell them about my situation. Maybe they could help me.

"Okay... I like Mako but... he has... a - a g-girlfriend. And we... we keep getting into ...er arguments and I think he... er hates me." Their faces went to excited at my beginning but sad at the end. I sighed. Maybe they couldnt help me. That was until I heard a laugh. Pema.

"Oh...hi Pema. How long have you been standing there?", I asked embarrassed.

"Long enough ; don't worry, I was In the same situation. With Tenzin", Pema exsplained everything that happended between her and her husband, and gave me her advice, "Don't hide your feelings, just tell him".

I thought about it...maybe it wouldnt be too bad. I got no other ideas! And me, and Bolin, cant stand Mako with Asami. Ill just get it over with when I return to school tomorrow.
