Any introductions you want to make?

As you probably know, Korra was a prick. Now she's trying not to be. Enjoy!

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Well... technicaly I am you...

STOP! You're gonna make my brain explode!

Catmandu22 wishes me to tell you she owns NOTHING!

Korra POV

I was up all night… erasing the old me. School sucked yesterday. After lunch, someone had spread a rumor that I was begging Amanda to be my friend again and that I was practically throwing myself at everyone who would be nice to me, that I was desperate for a friend. (Three guesses to who 'someone' is and the first two don't count.)

So I found this stuff that washed out all the hair dye I had put in my hair so that Amanda and I could match. My hair (instead of blonde) was now chestnut brown and it looked better, 'like way better' (note the mocking.)

I tossed out anything that was pink or girly in my closet and realized that was all of my clothes. So I raided my sisters' closet and found some cool clothes. I wore a big COD T-Shirt tightened around my waist, dark jeans with rips in them, and black boots.

My hair was curled and cascading down my shoulders.

I gave my Vera Bradley back-pack to my little cousin and bought a new black one with the words PEACE, Love, and Freedom written in cursive all over it.

I grabbed an apple and paused. Then I picked up a banana to add to my meal. I decided to walk to school (I only lived a few minutes away) and ate my apple while I walked. A convertible pulled up alongside me and followed me. A girl laughed, "Hey look! A new emo dork!" The crew laughed.

I smiled and wiped apple residue off my mouth and threw the apple core at the car. The girl shrieked and shouted, "Eww!"

I looked at her and sneered, it was Amanda. Amanda's eyes widened, "Korra?!"

I raised an eyebrow, "Go. To. Hell."

Amanda gasped and I turned down the path way to the front door.

Mako POV

I was… conflicted. I hated Korra Mathews, the pretty prep of popularity (wow that was a lot of 'P's). But I didn't hate Korra Mathews, the girl that flung food at me the day before. I wasn't sure I was happy about that.

At lunch Bolin sat down across from me and searched his back pack for his head phones. Bolin groaned, "Aw crap! Korra took my head phones! And my I-Pod!"

I snorted, "Nice, Bo. Good luck getting those back, she isn't gonna sit here anyt…"

I was interrupted by a girl slamming her lunch tray down, plopping in a chair, and handing Bolin his headphones. Bolin accepted them with a grin and I did a double take, "Korra?"

The girl wearing the black COD T-shirt, ripped jeans, and brown hair looked at me with a raised eyebrow, "Yeah, that's me."

I sneered, "Ya know, just cuz you're pissed at your friends, don't mean you can sit here again today."

Korra laughed. She actually laughed. At me. Then she said, "Save the tough guy act for another time, pretty boy."

Korra's smile widened as Torra walked over and sat down beside Bo. Torra eyed me and looked at Korra, "Why are you wearing my stuff?"

I planted my chin on my fist, "Will someone please tell me why she's sitting here?!"

Korra scoffed and looked at Torra, "I'm sitting here cuz Amanda's a loser, Iroh's a jerk, and I want to. I'm wearing your stuff because my old clothes suck."

Torra leaned back in her chair. She was the only girl that Bolin and I allowed at our table, when she wanted to sit with us, and she was Korra's twin sister. They were exact opposites in everything but their looks. Korra was preppy & Torra was scary, Korra made fun of people & Torra helped people, Korra was liked by the popular kids & Torra was feared by them, Korra couldn't hold her own in a fight & no one would even try to fight Torra. You see where I'm leading this?

Torra was wearing a purple T-shirt that said, "I cry because I'm surrounded by dumb people, and that makes me sad" in big bold letters, a blue punk rocker shirt (ya know, the ones with like 4 layers of poof) that ended above her knees, and purple Converse All-Stars that reached her knees.

She nodded and Bolin asked, "Are any more people gonna sit with us, cuz, if they are, I need to find new friends."

Torra raised an eyebrow, "And what friends are those?"

Bolin smacked her head lightly and Torra stuck her tongue out at him.

"So this is who you're sitting with now?"

We all turned our heads to the end of the table where Amanda stood with her hands on the table, her weight supported by her arms. Korra tightened her mouth into a line and ignored her.

Amanda scoffed and 'whispered' to the person standing next to her, "She's just trying to get into Iroh's pants by making him jealous but she just looks like a whore. She's so pitiful it's sad, I mean, sitting with the emo guys and wearing… that… it is soo obvious she wants to sleep with them so she started dressing like them to do so. It's just sad."

Korra stood and scowled, "Back. Off. Before I make you."

Amanda pouted sarcastically, "Or what, you'll sic your friends on me? Oh that's right, you don't have any."

Torra stood but Korra clenched her fists, "Or I'll beat the living shit out of you."

Amanda faltered for a second before regaining her composure. She flipped her hair and sauntered away.

I sighed and said, "You can stay, she's a bitch. I mean, even more of one than I thought."

Bo slipped on his head phones and started bobbing his head to the music. Torra was on his I-Pod scrolling through his list. Korra was shrinking in her seat and I raised my eyebrow. I followed her line of sight to see Amanda locking lips with Iroh. She looked like she was about to kill someone and I was actually surprised when she grabbed my hand and relaxed a little. Torra snickered and I yanked, or tried to, my hand away from Korra's hand but she was surprisingly strong and just squeezed my hand really hard.

"Let. Me. Go. Now." I whispered.

"No. I need to hold something, deal with it."

I deciding on letting her hold my hand. For her sake! Not mine! I… uh… Er… Shut it.

I was getting home from shopping with Torra. Here's what I got:

6 different pairs of jean shorts that ended well above my knee.

12 pairs of ripped jeans (4 regular colored, 3 black, 1 red, 1 white, and 2 paint splattered)

3 P!nk T-shirts

15 CDs ( 6 P!nk, 2 Linkin Park, 4 Taylor Swift, 2 Adele, and 1 Avril Lavigne.)

16+ T-shirts that are a lot like the one my sister wore to school.

6 dresses (kinda rocker style.)

3 Alice in wonderland T-Shirts (Alice, Cheshire, and the Mad Hatter)

5 gamer t-shirts (2 Black ops, 1 COD, 2 guitar hero.)

A few Adv. Time T-shirts

15+ Cartoon T-Shirts

20+ leggings

A LOT of converse (approx. 10+ low rise, 15+ regular cut, and 13 knee high. They. Are. Awesome.)

And about twenty skirts like the one my sister wore, but more… me.

Yeah, I'm broke now!

Torra helped me get my outfit for tomorrow ready and I couldn't help but think this was the first time we were having fun together. So, in a way, I kinda owe Amanda… Nah.
