Chapter 2
Mako held back tears the rest of that class. He hated the way Korra glared at him when she caught him staring. The class began with the teacher droning on about what they were going to be learning that year. No one was paying attention. But everyone's head turned when Mr. Williams said three words: Romeo and Juliet. Korra and Mako both stopped their anger contest and grinned at each other. They had read the book to each other all the time. It was usually on those days where the sun was shining and the breeze was playing with their hair.
"Once again this will be a partner assignment. You may choose whomever but remember, you can only choose once." The whole class buzzed except the two in the back. Mako glanced at Korra. But she was already starring. He took a deep breath.
"Do you -"
"Yes." Korra cut him off. He smiled, they always knew what the other was going to say.
Flashback
Mako and Korra were sitting under a tree at the age of twelve. They weren't really doing anything in particular. They were just watching clouds. It was late July, the summer before eighth grade, and finally Korra spoke up.
"Do you think we will have classes together?" Her voice was full of doubt and worry. Mako was always her rock, he always had to reassure her that everything was okay.
" I bet you we have every single one together." He said with confidence.
"How are you so sure?" Her head was under his arm and she tried to crane her neck to see his face. He gave her a half smile.
"Because they can't keep us apart. Ever." He leaned his head on hers. Suddenly there was a crash in the woods next to them. Korra instantly grabbed onto Mako's shirt. Bolin and Iroh came crashing out shouting "OOHHH Mako loves Korra! Awww someone's face is red!" It was true both their faces were red. Mako pushed Iroh and Bolin into the little stream behind the tree. He and Korra laughed until they started getting up. Korra grabbed Mako's hand and they ran through Republic City Park. Finally they stopped under a footbridge. They were still laughing. It was around sunset now and the stars were peeking through the little clouds. Korra grabbed his hand again making Mako's head spin, and they laid on their backs watching the stars.
Korra jumped up suddenly. " Mako I was supposed to be home! We gotta go!" They ran all the way home. Mako walked Korra to the door. Senna came out.
"Where have you been!" Then at the same time they both said.
" The probending arena." Senna looked at them and they looked at each other.
" Thank you for escorting her home Mako that was very gentlemanly of you." Senna said looking at Korra with a sly smile. Mako blushed and ran his fingers through his hair.
" Anytime. Bye Korra." Mako said. He started to cross the street of their little cul de sac when he heard her yell. " Check your windows, it might rain!" He knew exactly what she meant.
Bolin was inside watching the T.V. Mako snuck upstairs and opened his bedroom window that faced towards Korra's bedroom window. They wrote on whiteboards back and forth. Until Senna came up to say goodnight. Mako dived down on his bed and shut his window all in one slide. He was used to it by now.
The class ended after Mr. William's wrote down all the partner's. Next was science with Mr. Kix. Mako walked down the stairs to the second floor. Iroh was in the hallway with Tahno. They were flirting with some girls. Iroh called him over and they were talking about their classes.
" Do you know Jen Tracey?" Iroh swung his arm around Mako's shoulder and asked him that. "Isn't she in our grade?" Mako asked.
"Yeah. Well word from those girls is that Bolin is going out with her."
" No shit? We should cut lunch for a smoke and go find him in the other cafeteria."
" You read my mind buddy boy. Alright I gotta go or i'm screwed." Iroh left and headed into the classroom to the right. Mako didn't smoke but the other's they hung out with did. He went to the left for science and Korra was in there. Again he felt his chest hurt from seeing her. He sat next to her again and they just smiled at each other. Maybe he could fix this. But he knew she would never forgive him for what he did.
