Flaws in Our Strengths 25
For a family day, my mom decided it wouldn't be fun enough with just our family. Nope Tenzin's family was included in this family day! Fun!
"Tenzin can you pass the potatoes?" I asked stuffing my face with Pema's pot roast.
"Korra if you keep eating like that the kids might start eating like you," Pema said.
"They will not look at their faces!" I responded. The kids looked like they just saw huge crocodile eat a horse.
"How is it even possible for a human to eat like that?" Ikki said about throw up.
"You see Ikki I am no human, I am actually a god."
"If you don't let go of that ego of yours honey…" My mother said.
"My ego isn't even that big." I pouted. Everyone in the room laughed. "What it's not?!"
"Honey your ego is bigger than your appetite which is almost impossible." My mother continued.
"Whatever I'm going outside." I took my plate and headed towards the garden to finish my meal.
"Hey Korra!" I saw Jinora following me from the side door of the huge dojo.
"Yeah?"
"I heard your dating Asami now?"
"Who told you that?" I mumbled raising an eyebrow with potatoes in my mouth.
"Kai, he's new to the basketball team. He was at Asami's party and he said you and Asami were basically inseparable."
"Yeah were dating, what's the big deal about it?"
"You do realize that you both have fan clubs at our school, right?"
"And?"
"You two are basically our school's celebrities. It's going to be a big deal when word spreads."
"And my mom wonders why my ego is so big," I said laughing.
"Kor this is serious, when people hear you two are dating. There will be riots."
"Jin your probably just exaggerating. It won't be that!"
"Alright we'll see at school tomorrow, and don't say I told you so!"
"I won't because your wrong." I said as she walked away.
There is no way me and Asami are popular enough to cause riots. That's ridiculous! I ended up going to school the same as usual Monday except super excited to see Asami in my first period. For once she was actually away from that group of alphas and sat beside Mako saving me the seat in front of her. She looked beautiful today as always and was even dressed in my hoodie.
"Hey guys!"
"Hey Korra," Mako said. "We may have a slight issue."
"What are you talking about Mako?"
"Asami you explain." He said sighing and shaking his head.
"Well you see the group that I sit with isn't really happy were dating now. They kind of want to kill you, to win my heart so to speak." Asami said whilst grabbing my hand.
"I'm sure it will be fine! What's the worst they can do to me?" I said laughing off this dumb situation.
"kor look just be careful, who knows what those guys will do to you." Mako said with a look of concern.
"I'll be fine mama mako."
"You promised me you wouldn't call me that anymore!" he yelled glaring at me.
"When you act like a mother it's hard not to." Mr. Varrick came in and started his lecture after Mako yelled at me. Today wasn't any different than any other. I told Jin she was worrying about nothing.
It was the end of the day and I was looking forward to spending it with Asami. I just got out of practice and was changing so I could head home when my locker stuck again.
"Damn Locker!" I yelled beating the shit out of the lock. "Work!" I didn't notice the group of alpha's I've never seen in the locker room come in. "Umm can I help you all?"
"I can't believe Asami is dating someone who can't even open they're locker."
"Ohhh you must mean Iroh," I said hoping they weren't looking for a fight. "Let me just go get him for you." But they stopped me before I could exit the door.
"She was wearing your hoodie." One of the said. There had to be at least 5 of them.
"Well you see that hoodie, was uhhh… given to her! By umm her father in the south! That's why it says southern!"
"It has your basketball numbers on it," Another added.
"T-those numbers are to remind her of the age she got the hoodie." I said still trying to weasel my way around the guy blocking the door. Why does everything happen in this fucking locker room!
"Korra your number is 24, your telling me she's 24 and still in high school." The guy blocking the door said.
"Well I never said she was the brightest!" I yelled in my defense. Knowing what was about to happen I tackled the guy who was blocking the door and began to run towards the exit of the gym with them following me closely from behind. I just barely made it to the exit and closed the door swiftly behind me. HOLY SHIT! THAT WAS CLOSE! Why couldn't I date some nerd with glasses and pimples. Life would be so much easier.
Once I was home I decided to clean my room. I wasn't going to have a girl over and have a messy room! That would just appear awful. Oh, I never told my parents she was coming over. I made my way to Tonraq's study to tell him about Asami coming over.
"Hey Tonraq!" I yelled knocking on the door.
"Come in! And it's dad to you!"
I opened the door to his study and noticed he was busy typing another one of his speeches.
"Hey, I'll have a friend coming over late to hang out is that okay?"
"Is this friend an omega?" my father asked raising on eye brow.
"Yeah?" I asked doing the same.
"Is this omega someone your considering mating?" Oh, here we go.
"Tonraq nothing is going to happen tonight…"
"Are you sure, I'm supposed to be mad at you anyway for spending all of Saturday and Sunday morning out somewhere."
"Tonraq you know I can handle myself."
"Fine tell me who it is, and ask me properly if they can come over."
"Ugh. Dad can Asami come over?" I said shaking my head and looking at the floor.
"Asami?" my dad looked at me wide eyed. "Are you dating her?"
"Yes sir."
"Honey." Tonraq said getting up to pat me on the shoulder. "If you break her heart you could break our family's relations to the Sato household, and if you did that, you could possibly end my campaign right then and there."
"Tonraq I'm not going to break her heart."
"You say that now but you also said that with a lot of girls in the past, and I trust you but I'm only trying to be careful. So, for your old man, don't break this one's heart."
"I would never break her heart!"
"Good! Then neither of us have anything to worry about. But if you did, Kor we will definitely have a big issue. So, you just might have to marry into their family." My father joked.
At the mention of marriage, I began to cringe up. I never liked the idea of spending my life with just one person so it always freaks me out when anyone mentions it.
"Don't cringe up honey it's just a joke now go get ready for your girlfriend to come over." My father began laughing some more as he headed back to his chair.
