" Do you know why you were our top recruit, Ms. Korra Waters?" Rattigan said as he looked out the main building window overlooking the school. He had a grin on his face and turned to Korra. "Do you, Ms. Waters?"
"Uh-um no sir, I don't and it's just Korra...Mr. Moss." She said awkwardly she didn't have any idea why she was called up here, especially by Mr. Moss, the Head of the school. She rubbed her neck looking out the window waiting to figure out why she was there.
He turned to her and chuckled, " Rattigan. You can call me Rattigan." She looked at him somewhat shocked and started playing with the collar of her uniform nervously.
"I brought you up here today Ms. Wate- I mean Korra because I wanted to let you know how proud I am and the staff is with you. Your grades are far and beyond and I personally wanted to let you know that we will be using you for one of our high-level projects.
"Do you really believe I'm capable to fulfill this job ," Korra said with uncertainty
"Yes, I believe you can." He smiled, placing his hand on her shoulder. "If I had thought any different then I wouldn't have brought you up here." He turned to her," Let us walk and I will fill you in on your position." They began walking down the hall then exited the main building into the courtyard. " As a school, you know that we recruit the top coding kids in the nation." Korra shook her head in agreement. " Since then we have been able to gain a lot of credit under our belt and have been sent several jobs to fulfill." He stopped and turned to Korra. "This new job which will require you will let us hack into many data frames and bases to weed out any intruders and help strengthen the companies data and secure it even tighter than before. He paused."Think you could handle that, Korra?" he said gruffly while smiling.
Korra beamed at him. "Of course sir, you can count on me!"
"Great, you start first thing tomorrow. You will meet me back here in the morning so we can head over to where you will be working." Korra's face changed from excitement to panic.
'Wait tomorrow?"
"It is alright Korra your class schedule will not be affected nor will your free time." Korra did a visible sigh of relief and the once smile graced her face again.
"Alrighttt" she exclaimed. "Am I excused now?" Korra asked. Rattigan nodded his head and she raced back to the building
She jotted down the empty corridor. "Wait till I tell Asami about this." she thought to herself. Just saying her name made her smile harder than ever. She began walking back to her room to wait for Asami to be done with her classes so she could tell her the good news. As she entered her room she walked past her stand up mirror and she paused looking at herself. Even though she liked going to this school, she hated that she had to wear a uniform. "At least they let me wear the boy's uniform because a skirt aint for me" Korra was fairly tall for a girl, she stood about 5'10 and had a mocha like skin complexion. She was fascinated by how things worked and the aspect of coding behind the scenes. And that's what she does now, at Tri-Air boarding school. Well, everyone does, the school was based on coding and computer science.
She walked to her bed and plopped down picking up one of her favorite books from her bookshelf. She began to read and later on lost track of time. Once she came back to reality she realized that the sun was already going down. It was around 6:30 pm when she finally put her book away. She checked her phone, "Hm, Asami should have come by like an hour ago. Maybe she's in the dining hall." She got up and changed into some more casual clothes; basketball shorts and a tee-shirt. She walked down to the dining hall, as she passed through the dining doors she was greeted by her classmates.
"Aye yo Korra, we're over here." She knew that voice anywhere. It was Mako. A grin slide across her face as she hopped over there.
"Makoo, my boy. Wassup witcha?" She said, pulling up a chair. The whole friend group was there. "Wassup y'all " She said to the group. "Hey, Korra" Zen said as she walked up and sat down next to her.
Korra gave her a side hug and then asked, " Where's Bolin and Lennox?"
"Oh, they're coming. They're in Bolin's room playing the new game they just coded." Suki said.
Korra rolled her eyes. "Yeah they're not coming to eat," She said laughing with the table
"Where's Asami ?" Korra asked, furrowing her eyebrows looking around.
"I dunno, prolly in her room, she said she wasn't feeling good after she came from Mariel Wadger's office," Tya said, stuffing a big spoon of food in her mouth.
"Well is she okay though? She was supposed to come by my room earlier." Korra said.
"How should we know, she's your girlfriend," Mako said laughing.
"Touche. I'll be back." She tapped the table with her hands and got up exiting the dining hall. She climbed the stairwell back up to where the dorms were and headed to room 342, where Asami stayed. As she got closer to the door she heard hushed talking and somewhat of a shaky voice. She knocked as she got closer to the door with a concerned look on her face.
" Asami ?" she called out softly. "It's me, Korra." She heard shuffling coming from behind the door as if someone was getting up, then, small footsteps approached the door. Asami opened the door to let Korra in. Korra stepped in and gave Asami a hug and kissed her cheek. Asami let a sorrow smile across her face as she pulled back from Korra.
"Hey Korra," she said as she sat back on her bed. Korra sat down next to her, rubbing her hair. "Tya said you were feeling sick after you came from Mariel Wadger's office."
"Y-yeah." Asami said looking down at her hands placed in her lap. Korra looked even more concerned and scooted closer to her. "Baby, what's wrong?"
Asami shook her head looking down at her lap. A tear rolled from her eye and down her face. She started, "I-" The door swung open and Bolin and Lennox came into Asami 's room. He had long curly black hair that was pulled back into a ponytail. He walked more into the room followed by Bolin, who was still wearing hisr school uniform.
"Ohhh did we interrupt the wittle couple?" Lennox said in a mocking tone. Bolin laughed and sat in the chair at Asami 's desk.
"You kinda did bro." Korra said, rolling her eyes. Asami discreetly tried to wipe the tear that was still rolling down her face. She used the end of her sleeve to wipe it quickly.
" Asami you crying?" Bolin asked which caught the attention of everyone in the room? Korra 's face was full of concern as she turned toward Asami .
"You're crying?" Korra said. Asami rolled her eyes at them and laughed.
"No yall, my eye was itching." She said rubbing it again to make her story more believable. She got echos of 'Oh Okay.'
"Oh wait yall I forgot! I got some really good news." Korra said jumping up.
"Well, what is it?" Lenoxx said as he was rummaging through Asami's fridge?
"Damn man, you hungry?" Korra said, pointing at all the snacks in Lennox's arms.
"Just so fat,"Bolin said laughing while shaking his head.
Okay, well never mind that. But! I talked to Mr. Moss earlier today and he said that he wanted me to work on a high-level project that the school will be undertaking." Korra said beaming. Asami looked up in shock. She whipped her head around to look at Korra .
"Shit, shit, shit. This is not good." Asami thought. She put her hand over her mouth.
"Oh, sweet man. Congrats Korra ." Bolin said, giving Korra a hug.
"Um, could you guys give me and Korra a few minutes to talk. I'm sure y'all are hungry." Asami said standing up.
"Oh nnooo, I'm straight," Lennox said holding up a chip bag. Bolin hit him on his head and pulled him out the door with him.
"Listen Korra….just be careful okay?" Asami said pacing back and forth in front of Korra. Korra sat there with a small smile on her face.
"Babe, what's there to be 'careful' about? It's not like I'm going to be fighting or something." Korra said getting up and rubbing Asami 's shoulders up and down. She looked down at Asami "It's okay. I promise."
Asami pulled from her "It's not okay Korra, this school is a sham, there is more to it than we know. There is something shady going on."
"What do you mean shady, Asami " Korra said, taking a step back.
"Look...I can't say much there is a reason I came back 'sick' from Wadger's office. I found some things' out I shouldn't have and I'm on their radar…
LOK
Korra couldn't sleep that night after the talk with Asami . "Why would she say something like that." Parts of their conversation replayed in her head. "The school is a sham."Korra flipped over to her side and called out, "What do you mean a sham? What going on that I don't know." After a while, she fell asleep. She jumped up to the sound of her alarm blaring. She hit the button and got up to get dressed.
The conversation stayed on repeat in her mind as she climbed the stairway to the main building to meet Rattigan. She saw him staring out the main window again as she approached him. He turned to her with the same smile and greeted her "Ahh, Korra nice to see you this morning, I hope everything is well this morning.
"Uh..yes sir it is."
"That's great, I want to start off by welcoming you to the team and let you know that we are glad to have you on board. The first thing we will be having you do is-" He was cut off by another man running up to him. He whispered in Rattigan's ear and Rattigan's face changed. "Please wait right here. Ms. Waters." He walked away swiftly exiting the Main building.
"It's just Korra si-" She was cut off by an explosion that hit the building across from the main school building. It was such a hard impact that it shattered the glass and threw her into the back wall.
Korra opened her eyes to the sound of crumbling buildings, as she looked around her vision was blurred. "W-whats happening." She looked around to see a gash blown through the windows of the main building. She laid there for a second, before realizing what what going on. "Asami!" She thought. She tried to get up but she fell. She got up slowly this time and began walking toward the dorms holding onto the wall. The whole school was in chaos
A/N
This was a dream I actually had for me and my girlfriend. I woke up right after the explosion.
See you guys.
