I don't own the Legend of Korra.
XXXXXXXX
Korra walked into band class, feeling well prepared. She smiled as she saw her band teacher who waved at her kindly. She waved back and gave him the brightest smile.
"Good morning, Korra; or should I say Miss. Drum major?"
Korra smiled again and sat down were she normally sat last year. First chair, flutist. "Good morning, Mr. Washington, how are you?" She asked, sitting up straight.
"I'm well, Korra, I hope you had a nice summer."
"Not really, the best part was Band Camp though…and the spider in Homura's hair!" Korra laughed as Homura, one of Tahno's followers shot her a nasty look. Korra rolled her eyes, knowing very well that Homura was here because her parents forced her.
Once the bell had run and everyone was in their seats, Mr. Washington pulled out a jar and placed it on his desk.
"Now, class, this has different themes in it, some are plays, and some are bands, like the Rolling stones or Cold play. I am going to pick a slip a paper and that is going to be our theme this year." The class nodded sleepily and pretended to be paying attention.
"And, one of these slips of paper has the school play that we are doing this year, so be prepared!" He warned. Once again the class nodded. Mr. Washington smiled and placed his hand into the jar and took out one slip of paper. He unfolded it and read it. "And our theme is…Wicked!" Mr. Washington announced.
Korra smiled. She might be in Elphaba's outfit or Glinda's…which one will he pick for her? Mr. Washington cleared his throat and ushered Korra over.
"Korra, you will be wearing the Wicked Witch of the West's costume." He told her. She smiled. Wicked, and she would be in the main girl costume! Asami would be happy and dub herself as Glinda. Korra smirked and sat back down in her seat.
Wicked are the school play, and the theme they were doing this year.
"And the songs we are doing are, Popular, Defying Gravity, Dancing through Life, and No one Mourns the Wicked." He added. "Practice starts after school today, if we want everything to be fine and dandy."
The class groaned. They all rolled their eyes, except for Korra of course. She was ready. She was waiting all summer to be back in band and be the Drum major. She smiled just as the bell rang.
"Well, class, that's the bell; don't forget to meet me here at 3:00!" He reminded them. They all nodded and exited the class, feeling bummed that they actually have band. Korra smiled though. They practiced all of the themes at band camp and she already memorized it. She already knew that Mr. Washington rented out the football field today, she knew it. Her heart soared as she walked into the lunch room. It was almost the end of the day.
She spotted Asami and waved to her. Asami caught her and waved back, ushering her to come over. Korra smiled and walked over to the table. She noticed Bolin and Iroh were sitting with them today. Korra quickly sat down next to Asami and started talking.
"Hey, guys! Hey, Bo, I see that you're not with the Jock heads!" Korra noticed. Bolin laughed and punched her in the arm playfully.
"And miss sitting with you guys? That's just crazy!" He exclaimed. She smiled and looked at her bagged lunch. Teriyaki chicken, rice, and mushrooms, last night's dinner…Yum!
Korra got everything situated and took out her chopsticks. She was about to put a mouthful of rice in her mouth, she heard the most annoying voice in the world.
"Hey, Doll face, you want to go to the movies with me tonight?" Korra whirled around and saw Tahno trying to make a move on Kirima. Korra stood up and walked over to him, her face in a tight knot of disgust.
"Get, away from her, Tahno!" She told him, crossing her arms.
"Oh, why if it isn't our Drum major," Tahno teased. "I don't even know why you band kids even try, you aren't that good, and you always fail!"
"You are wrong! We don't fail!" Korra spat. She knew the band was first place in everything since Mr. Washington arrived. His crazy ideas on everything made going to band better.
"Oh, well, I guess I'll be seeing soon, Kor-rah, you know, to cheer the football team to victory!" He slyly said. Korra gave him a death glare and was about to punch him before Asami touched her shoulder.
"Korra, stop, he isn't worth it!" Asami told her. Korra huffed and stalked away, back to the table. Once they were both back, Korra slouched in her chair, not wanting to eat after what happened.
"Stupid, Tahno, thinking we are his cheerleaders, well we aren't!" Korra mumbled bitterly.
"Korra, come on, eat something! Stop pouting!" Bolin told her, slurping up some noodles. Korra shot him a dirty look and sighed.
"I'm sorry, Okay? I need to check up on Kirima and how she is." She said all too quickly. Korra got up and made her way to her cousin, when she accidently bumped into something. Korra looked up and saw the questioning look in Bolin's brother's face.
"U-um, I-I s-sorry, I was looking for the bathroom? You know since I never really used the bathroom here?" She stuttered. Bolin's brother sighed and placed a hand on her shoulder which felt like electricity.
"There's no need to lie, okay?" He told her, peering down at her with those beautiful gold eyes. Korra nodded meekly.
"Y-yeah, I-I'm sorry for bumping into you!" She apologized. He chuckled and smiled at her. Korra could feel the heat upon her cheeks creep up, she just hoped he didn't notice.
"No worries, I'll see you around, Korra!" He promised. Korra jaw hit the ground. He remembered her name! No football player did that! Especially for a band kid! Korra almost cheered right then and there, but then she remembered, she was in the cafeteria. She looked around and saw everybody's peering eyes on her.
She gave them all dirty looks and clapped her hands, being the Drum major she was. They all looked at her, eyes wide with fear before they returned to their lunches. Korra smiled and walked over to her cousin, who looked shaken.
"Yo, you okay?" Korra asked. Kirima jumped a little and smiled.
"Oh, hi, Korra, yeah, it's just that guy was I don't know…creepy." Kirima confessed. Korra gave her a smile and patted her shoulder.
"Hey, do you want to watch the band practice?" Korra asked.
"If it means driving in your friend's car then okay," Kirima told her. Korra smiled and walked back to her table. She felt a little better and sat down. She then picked up her chopsticks and grabbed some teriyaki chicken.
"So, Korra; how was she?" Bolin asked, looking at the direction of Kirima.
"A little shanked but okay," Korra answered with her mouth full of food. Asami made a disgusted face and gave her friend a look.
"Classy, Korra, real classy!" She told her. Korra smiled and bowed.
"Why thank you very much!" Korra said as a group of cheerleaders walked past. Make-up plastered their faces and they wore six inch heels. Korra didn't know how they walked in them. Plus, they wore short skirts and belly button shirts. Korra could see the look on Asami's face as they walked past.
"Look at them; they are giving cheerleaders a bad name!" She complained, spooning some of her rice. Korra nodded and picked up some mushrooms. Her mother's cooking was the best, especially left overs. Her taste buds lifted to life as the mushroom came crushing onto them. She smiled in delight.
"I know! I don't know why they wear short skirts like that, and those shirts! Isn't it against school policy?" Iroh asked, sipping his tea.
"Well, I don't know, Iroh, but I thought you would know since you are school president!" Korra told him smartly. Iroh nodded.
"You're right, and it is against school policy…I'll make sure the principal hears of this." Iroh promised. They all nodded and Asami kissed him on the cheek. "Asami, no PDA, we've been through this!"
"So you can't bend the rules just a little for me?" She asked innocently. Iroh thought about for a bit and then nodded.
"Maybe just a little for you, Asami" Iroh whispered as he kissed her on the forehead. Korra and Bolin made a grossed out face.
"Can you guys please just find a room?" Korra asked.
"And while you're at it, bring a bottle of champagne!" Bolin added. Asami and Iroh laughed.
"You guys just don't know anything about being in love!" Asami told them. Korra rolled her eyes and sat back in her chair. Though she did feel the electricity that went off when Bolin's brother touched her…could that be a sign of something? No, that was absurd, completely preposterous. She shook her head. She is in the band, and he is on the football team, it just wouldn't fit.
She shook her head and finished her lunch in a hurry.
After lunch and after two classes, Korra walked to the band room. She was happy, and ecstatic. Her smile never seemed to fade as she walked to band class.
She got to the band room with two minutes to spare. Some kids were happy, while others were trudging their feet as they tried to make an effort. Korra hurried over to her instrument holder, even though she didn't have to play it.
But, by the time she got over there, it was already 3:00. Mr. Washington came out holding a poster in his hands.
"Class, instead of having one drum major this year, we are having two." He announced. Korra's heart dropped. She was supposed to be the only drum major! "The reason being is because our first drum major will be doing something spectacular during Defying Gravity!"
Korra's broken heart immediately sped up again. She was going to be doing something spectacular? Now that isn't something she heard every day.
"And out second Drum major will be Jinora!" He told them. Just then, a small girl walked up about the age of ten. A lot of the high school students protested about it, but Jinora just gave them icy looks.
"She's just ten! Why don't you give the job to someone else?" One student said.
"For your information, I am a senior because I was too smart for fifth grade and too smart for all of the other grades, so I am here, as one of your upper classmen. " She told them. She narrowed her eyes to the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen.
"But she is still ten!" Another person said.
"I am probably smarter than all of you combined, and I am just a ten year old." She told them hotly. She walked over to Korra and stood next to her.
"Hey, Korra, long time no see." She said. Korra looked down and saw Jinora. She is Master Tenzin's oldest daughter.
"Oh, hey, Jinora how is your mother?" She asked.
"Alright, she just a baby, his name is Rohan." Jinora told her. Korra nodded and smiled. She has known Jinora since shw was little. And now look at her, a senior in high school at only the age of ten. But, what about the downside of her is becoming a senior this early? Jinora never really experienced fifth grade or any other grade. She didn't even make any real friends.
"How is it possible that you skipped all of those grades?" Korra asked. Jinora looked at her and smiled.
"You don't remember? My dad is the head of the school board-or one of them-any way; he pulled some strings for me because he knew I needed something more challenging than fifth grade math." Jinora explained. Korra nodded her head just as Mr. Washington clapped his hands.
"Alright, everyone, let's go to the field!" He yelled. Some students cheered and others groaned, but they all went to the field, with Jinora and Korra leading.
When they got to the field though, they were surprised to see the football team. Korra gave Mr. Washington a questioning look and he put his index finger to his lips as he went up to the coach.
"Noatak, hello, I'm sorry to inform you, but the band rented out the field for today." Mr. Washington explained. Coach Noatak gave one look at the band and shook his head.
"Oh no, the football players rented it out today, they need to practice." Noatak said to him.
"But the band needs to practice, too!" Mr. Washington told him. One of the players went up to the coach and started asking him questions. Korra recognized him quickly, he was Bolin's brother, but Bolin was nowhere in sight.
Korra walked over to him and pointed at him. He made a face like 'who, me?' she nodded and he came over. She tapped her foot impatiently and looked at him straight in the eye.
"What are you doing? Band has the field on the first day of school! It's always been like that!" She told him.
"Listen, the football team needs a little more pra-"
"And the band needs practice, too! So, why don't you tell your coach that the band needs their turn, because you had it all last week!" She said in a hushed voice. Bolin's brother shook his head.
"That can't be done." He told her. Korra's eyes widened and she punched him right then and there. His eyes widened and he looked at her surprised.
"You-you-"
"That's right I hit you, and you gotta deal with it!" She told him.
"You-you're so-agghh!" He yelled. Korra rolled her eyes and looked at him, gold meeting blue. She sent him an icy glare.
"Next time, give us our field when it is our day!" She told him, "because, not just the football team uses it, so stop thinking about yourselves."
Korra then walked off to her waiting band. Mr. Washington walked up to her and shook his head.
"Korra, you can't just go around hurting people!" He scolded. Korra nodded and hung her head low.
"I know, I'm sorry," she told him.
"But, I must say that I am rather impressed that you got a football player on the ground like that in just one punch!" He told her. Korra smiled at him.
"Alright, students, you can go home if you want since we didn't get the field." Mr. Washington told everyone. They all nodded and began walking out.
"Korra, something tells me that you need anger management classes." Jinora told her quietly. Korra nodded.
"I know I do, but you have to admit, that was pretty funny!" Korra laughed as she made her way off of the field.
