Chapter 3

Finally lunch time came around and Mako got to escape from the pain. He saw her schedule and they had every class together on that day. He ran outside to Iroh's motorcycle. Tahno was there with a cigarette between his lips.

"Where is Iroh?" Mako asked.

"He was trying to get Bolin outta his lunch." No sooner than Tahno spoke, the side door to the school opened and Iroh had Bolin under one arm. Mako grabbed Bolin by the front of his shirt.

"Hey bro, remember how you have a girlfriend? You know you have been dating her for two years?" Mako said still clutching his baby brother. "What's her name again?" Mako asked the other boys though he knew who it was.

"Asami." Iroh and Tahno said together. Iroh had a cigarette of his own now.

"So. What's this I hear about Jen?" Mako said with clenched teeth. He had been friends with Asami for a while, so he felt like a brother to her. Bolin had tears in his eyes.

"I-I was trying to get Asami's attention. All the boys look at her so I-I just wanted her to see what would happen if she left me." He finished shamefully.

"But bro, you do realize you just kinda fucked it up for yourself right?" Mako said serious now. He set his brother down. Bolin may be bigger but there was no way he was stronger. Bolin wiped his tears and walked back inside.

"You think he will fix it?" Tahno asked.

"He is too soft. Of course he will." Iroh said. Mako nodded. They leaned against Mako's truck and talked about the day so far. Mako said nothing except about the teachers he had. There was no way he was telling them about Korra. They would start World War 3 if he told them his feelings. He was starting to panic about Algebra. Korra was in that class. Then he almost collapsed to the ground. He had health with her. Mako was not comfortable about things like sex and certain body parts. Not that he had any shortcomings. Far from it, but he still hated the thought about having to sit through a semester of sex ed with Korra. Yes the coolest, hottest guy in school was afraid of sex. Sort of, he just hated the bell rang and they raced back inside. He walked into Algebra and once again there was one seat left. He sat next to Korra and sighed. The year was going to kill him more than he really wanted.

Mako couldn't decide what was worse. Being with or without her. And to make it worse he had no clue how she felt about this whole thing. If there was one thing Mako Jameson hated more than himself, it was math. If he couldn't have a calculator than he was in trouble. He glanced at the wall and sure enough there was a poster with a calculator crossed out. Suicide seemed decent at the moment.

"Don't hurt yourself." Korra said, pointing at the poster. Mako smiled, she had always helped him with math.

"What do you read minds now?" Mako said. They both laughed quietly. They were doing an assignment which was supposed to evaluate if they needed tutors. Mako was first to pass his in. He knew he needed a tutor anyway so he just guessed on the thing. Korra passed hers in next. The class finally ended and Mako was kept after.

"Mr. Jameson you definitely need a tutor. But I assume you knew that by your answers. I am recommending you and miss Korra Meredith."

" You have got to be joking. There is like twenty people in this class and you paired me with her?" Mako was on his breaking point.

"Well I saw you too talking and laughing over in the corner so I assume you will get along just fine. It's her or you will stay back."

"Okay." Mako left the room. He ran to health class. He wasn't late, but he was the last one there. So guess who he had to sit with? The teacher started talking about sex. Mako started to fidget uncomfortably. Korra knew the way he felt about sex but she didn't know that she was causing the other half of his problem. Then Korra did something that was supposed to help. She reached out and grabbed his wrist. She used to do that when they were kids when Mako was feeling sad.

But that set Mako further on the edge. He had no idea whether to laugh, cry, or get angry. But he looked at her, and he felt as though he was completely fine. He smiled at her, and she smiled back. That smile made the sadness overwhelming. It reminded him of the night when he-

"Korra, Mako, what are you doing?" The teacher said. Every head turned to see there hands basically intertwined. Mako's first instinct was to say "dying" but he figured that that wouldn't fly.

"Checking my pulse." Mako said as serious as he could. The class roared with laughter. Korra let go of his hand because she was laughing hysterically. The teacher shook her head and went back to writing on the board.
