Disclaimer: Hello everyone! Thanks for sticking with me for yet another chapter. I promise it will get better. I'll try and update regularly and as always I don't own legend of Korra...sadly. Enjoy!

Third person

Asami Sato hummed as she cooked herself dinner in her new apartment her father bought her.

Even after hours and hours of pleading her father wouldn't let her buy the apartment herself.

After the chicken was done she set it off to the side turning off the stove.

Her phone started buzzing on the counter behind her.

So she picked it up smiling at the caller ID.

"Hey 'Sami!" She heard on the other end making her giggle.

"Hey Kate, what's up?" she asked going to sit on the couch with her dog Ace.

"Nothing much just seeing how my best girl is doing." Kate said.

Asami could hear the grin in her voice.

"Oh I'm doing great, I'm loving the apartment but I'm still mad at my dad." She said petting Ace's head.

"Ahh. Why exactly did your dad pay for the apartment again?" Kate asked

"He wanted to because he still thinks I'm 16 where as I'm 23 and capable of buying my own things."

Asami said rubbing her eyes.

"Ok. Let's get off the topic of apartments and let's talk about teaching. So are you excited?" Her friend asked.

Asami groaned she really didn't want to talk much about teaching as she already had butterfly's in her stomach.

"I really don't know Kim. I'm afraid my students won't like me" Asami said shifting in her seat making Ace whine.

"Asami, it's gonna be fine I promise. You just have to show those kids who is the boss. Make them remember you." Asami rolled her eyes.

"Yeah like being a replacement teacher is sure gonna make them remember me." She said kicking her feet up on her coffee table.

"Hey that's a start right? I mean it's better then being a teacher nobody knows."

"Kate. Really." Asami said sighing.

"Hey when I first started teaching I started with younger kids. But you wanted to take the higher level, so missy don't come complaining to me."

Kate said sassiness evident in her tone.

"I'm going to beat you." Asami said pouting.

"I'm going to beat you" Kate said making her voice high pitched to copy Asami's.

"Kate don't start" Asami groaned

"Kate don't start" Kate copied back

The oven beeped indicating that the pasta dish was done.

"I gotta go Kate. It's getting late and I need to eat dinner." Asami said getting up from the couch.

"Well fine grumpy boots. Text me tomorrow about how you day goes. Bye!" Kate said

"Bye!" With that Asami hung up the phone taking about the small pan of pasta.

Asmai pulled out a bowl putting the chicken and the pasta bake in. She also grabbed a small drink going to the living room.

She sat next to Ace again who watched her excitedly waiting for food, "sorry buddy, no human food for you." she said giving him a small pat making him whine.

She ate slowly not wanting the next day to come, 'what if I accidently trip in class and make a fool of myself' she thought putting her now empty bowl on the table in front of her.

"what do you think Ace, should I be so worried?" she asked scratching behind his ear making his tail wag.

She smiled a little watching as he rolled over showing his belly.

Ace was her mothers dog, she had gotten Ace when he was a puppy and her mother absolutely adored the dog. But as time progressed her mother had become ill with cancer.

That was only when Asmai was eight, and her mother had passed without warning. It had torn her and her father to pieces. Her father resulted in work to forget with wife's passing, and usually left her with babysitters that she never really enjoyed.

They were always those stuck up high school chicks who just sat on their phones and never really talked.

Asami sighed as she gave Ace one last pet before going into the kitchen to clean up her dinner.

'At some point you have to realize that some people can stay in your heart, but not in your life' Asami thought. That was something her mother always used to say to her.

AN: sorry it was such a short chapter! But as I said the next chapter is going to be great. I won't spoil it. Heh heh. But I hope you enjoyed this one. Give a review on what you think and if you want to give some ideas don't be afraid to tell me. Hope you all have a great Tuesday!
