Alright Asami get your act together, focus. "Hello class, as the Principal said I'm Miss Sato and I'll be filling in for the next little while. Let's take a quick attendance."
She went through the list calling out everyone's name sounding off responses from the students, here, present, yep!.. She went through everyone Bolin, Shin, and then she read the last name on the list, "Korra?"
"Over here" a voice called as they raised their hand. She lifted her head to find the same tanned girl she'd noticed earlier with her hand up. So that's her name. Such a pretty, strong name. Rolls off the tongue so nicely - Stop it Asami focus, you can't be crushing on a student on your first day. She put the clip board down and began her lecture. "Can any one tell me where you were at in your readings?"
"Oh! Me! Over here! Pick me!" Bolin blurted out waving his hand in the air.
"Bolin right?" Asami wanted to confirm.
"Yes Miss Sato, that's me. Bolin, Bo, Bolin time-" Korra leaned over and gave him a swat on the arm to urge him to get on with it. "Right so um we were at the part where that angry bald wizard had just emerged from the bubbly cauldron concoction that the rat man had made in the graveyard." Korra rolled her eyes as he finally got it out.
This english class went by like any other. Korra found herself distracted and daydreaming once again, except this time she wasn't staring out the window at what was going on outside. This time she found herself totally engrossed with Miss Sato. Watching her beautiful reds lips move as she lectured about god knows what. God she's gorgeous…snap out of it Korra, she's a teacher and your a student, besides you don't get crushes, girls get crushes on you. She shook her head and reset her focus on the typical outdoor distractions.
The bell rang to let everyone go to lunch bringing Korra out of her daydream. Bolin tapped Korra on the shoulder, "Come on Korra, Mako will be waiting for us in the cafeteria." They collected their stuff and head to get lunch.
The cafeteria was always bustling with activity and noise, people yelling across the table to get someone's attention. The odd spoonful of food would go flying across the room before it landed on someone's face which always brought about more noise and outbursts. Korra thankfully never found herself a victim, being the captain of the best hockey team in the league earned her respect even among the non-jocks, everyone knew who she was. 'Hey Korra!' 'Great game last week Korra!' were some of the thing people would say to her as she walked by, always wanting to talk to her. But today she just wanted to eat lunch with her best friends. She set her tray down at the table Mako had saved for them and started to eat.
"I can't believe you guys get to have that new sub! Man I wish it took english this semester, she is drop dead gorgeous!" Mako blurted out excitedly.
"Yeah she's alright I guess" Korra said unenthusiastically.
"Alright?! She's breathtaking!" Mako shot back.
"Oh Korra knows that bro, I saw how she was basically drooling over her all class" Bolin interjected.
"What!? No way Bolin, you're crazy."
"Yeah yeah whatever you say Korra." She looked back at him with straight face in an attempt to not give away her true emotions. She had a reputation to uphold after all, even though she rarely dated she could have any girl she wanted.
The bell rang warning the students to get ready for third period, Korra hung her head in her hands "god I don't want to go this this class. Mr Tarrlok is the worst and math gives me the biggest headache ever."
"Yeah, I don't envy ya there bud, Tarrlok is the worst. You have fun though." Make said giving her a sarcastic grin as they all got up from the table to go to class.
Mr Tarrlok walked in late to class, presumably due to the fact that he had been held up in the administrative office trying to hold on to whatever power her could while pretending to be in charge while Principal Tenzin was away. However even though he was late the students were well behaved and remained in they seats. Any slight step out of line will earn you a slip to the principal's office in Tarrlok's class, he was such a power hungry stickler for rules.
"Good afternoon class, I have the results from your last test. Eska would you come up here and hand them out please?" A girl with shoulder length black hair with straight bangs across her forehead stood up and walked to the front.
"Of course sir." She replied with literally no emotion or facial expressions whatsoever.
Mr Tarrlok handed her the pile of papers to hand out except for one. "Korra would you see me in the hallway please?"
Korra let out a sigh as she reluctantly got up and joined her teacher in the hallway. "What's up teach?" she asked.
"It's Mr Tarrlok Korra" He corrected handing the test over to her. "I'm quite concerned with your results on this test. You seem to not be giving your full attention to your studies. Perhaps if you focused more on your studies and less on that archaic game of yours we could forgo these lovely little discussions."
Before Korra could throw back any sort of witty retort at him, she saw his gaze shift from her to something behind her.
Asami could hear them talking as she walked up the hallway. Its her - Her eyes immediately recognized Korra's muscular shoulders as she walked up behind them.
"Ah, Miss Sato" Mr Tarrlok greeted her as he walked past Korra. "How is your first day going?"
"Quite well thank you. I have excellent students in my class" she said glancing over at shorter brown haired girl. Korra felt a slight blush creep up behind her cheeks which she fought to make sure that it wouldn't show.
"I'd be glad to arrange a meeting with you after school if you'd like to discuss teaching methods, many of my students score well above average on the city's standardized testing. Although there are some that prove to be more difficult to teach" he said passively as he turned his head to look towards Korra.
"Not all students learn the same way, I believe in tailoring my lessons to the needs of each student" Asami stated as she gave Korra a small smile.
Mr Tarrlok shifted his gaze between Asami and Korra watching them smiling softly at each other . He sternly dismissed his student, "that'll be all Korra, you may return to your seat."
Korra gave her teacher a fake smile and turned back towards the classroom. She felt a shiver go up her spine as she thought back on Mr Tarrlok's proposition towards Miss Sato about discussing teaching methods. The thought of him trying to get with her made her feel sick to her stomach. How could a slime ball like Tarrlok think he could get with a beautiful goddess like Mis Sato? She shook her head again, why did she care who tried to get with her, she was just another teacher, a beautiful, elegant, flawless teacher…fuck.
