Chapter 3: Monday's suck but it has it's perks
Korra sat in her anatomy class texting away on her phone, not paying attention to a word her teacher was saying. She didn't have anything to worry about because this stuff came easy to her, now if this was her calculus class that would've been another story.
Korra: I meant to ask u last night but do u usually kiss people that u just meet?
Several minutes went by before she got a response.
Asami: No not usually ; ) but I made an exception for u bc u saved my life and all
Korra: Oh really…
Asami: Plus you're cute sooo
Korra bit her lip as she typed out a reply.
Korra: Well duh I already knew I was cute ; )
Asami: Watch it your ego is showing XD

Korra asked Asami if she wanted to meet up, before she had to head to practice. Asami agreed and they met up at the campus café.
They sat in a booth, secluded from everyone else, with steaming afternoon lattes. Korra was nervous, for some odd reason, any other time she was very flirtatious and playful. But now seeing Asami in person and what she was wearing had her feeling some type of way.
Asami flipped her hair as she stared across the table at Korra. The dimmed light over their booth gave her creamy bare shoulders a tasteful glow, the graphic tee she was sporting showing, not a lot, but enough cleavage to make Korra's head spin with wonder. Asami tapped her painted black fingernails on the table as she took a sip of her vanilla latte, her maroon lips leaving a stain on the cups lid.
Korra took a sip of her beverage as well, but less sensual as Asami had did. She looked around the café to distract her from the women in front of her, to prevent being caught staring.
"So how was class?" Asami asked pulling Korra's eyes away from the crowd and to her attention.
Korra coughed nervously, "Oh uh anatomy was fine you know bones and stuff, nothing too new."
"It sounds better than my class."
"Oh I doubt it, I already know anatomy pretty well so that class is just review for me."
"Still better than mine," Asami said with a giggle, "I know all there needs to know about engineering, so my whole major is just a review for me. I just feel like the people that I do business with would respect me more with a college degree than just a rich heiress."
"You know I think it's pretty cool that you still decided to go to college, when your fathers company needed you most. Most people wouldn't know what to do in a situation like that. I respect that." Korra said smiling genuinely at her.
"Thank's Korra."
"Anytime."
"So, let's talk track." Asami said as she emptied her cup.
Korra perked up instantly in her seat, "Yes, track! Uh I never got to ask you what you do!"
Asami chuckled, "I'm a distance runner."
"Wow I never would have thought that I would be getting along with a distance runner." Korra said shaking her head.
"Why, what's that supposed to mean?" Asami questioned with an intriguing smile on her face.
"Because sprinters and distance runners are supposed to have beef with one another. Duh! You never heard of that?" Korra said laughing at her own joke.
"Hmm now that I think about it our track team is very clicky, that's probably why I haven't met you till now."
"Yeah sprinters and distance don't really interact that much." Korra agreed.
"Why do you think we have this unspoken beef between each other?" Asami asked.
Korra looked at Asami as if she was crazy, "Because you guys are crazy, like seriously just last month I was driving to class and I saw one of the distance runners running in the snow!"
Asami rolled her eyes playfully, "We got to get our miles in somehow."
"RUN INSIDE." Korra emphasized, "We have an indoor track."
"Yeah but we heat up pretty fast so it's just easier to run outside." Asami shrugged. Korra deflated in her seat shaking her head again. "I don't know why your talking though you cross fitter, sense when do sprinters take up long distance?" Asami asked.
Korra sat back up in her seat, "It was my coach's idea actually. I went to states last year, and my coach thought that it would be a great idea to take up cross country. Now I got to admit I was not for it in the beginning but seeing how far I've come as a sprinter I figured that it couldn't hurt to try."
"and…I'm sensing there is a "but" there." Asami said.
"But boy was I wrong." Korra huffed out, "Cross country is hard, and I actually respect you guys for it now. I didn't understand half of the stuff that you guys did, and I still don't now, but I have a better understanding."
"So why does your coach want you to do cross?"
"To get better hindrance." Korra answered simply.
"Makes sense." Asami said as she watched Korra finish off her latte. Her eyes traveled over Korra's strong arms and up her collarbone, her neck flexing as she gulped down her drink. Asami bit her lip.
"Ahh," Korra sighed satisfactorily as she set her cup down. She looked at her watch, it was 12 o'clock. "Ooo I have practice soon gotta head back to the dorm to get changed."
Asami has practice too but she wasn't going to let Korra get away from her just yet. "Ok we can walk together, I just have to use the restroom first." Asami got up to do just that, looking behind her when Korra didn't follow, "You comin'?"
Korra perked up, "Oh yeah! Sorry forgot girls do stuff like this." Korra said following Asami to the ladies' room.
When they got there Asami dragged Korra into the biggest stall and locked the door behind her. Korra looked at Asami in shock as she was pushed against the wall. "Woah if you wanted to kiss me so bad you could've just said so." Korra said jokingly as Asami wrapped her arms around her neck.
Asami bit her lip, "Oh but what's the fun in that." She said as she swiftly connected their lips together.
Korra grabbed hold of Asami's waist bringing her closer. The kiss was slow and patient at first but became heated as time went on. Asami bit Korra's bottom lip urging her to part her lips. Korra took the hint and let her tongue dance with it's counterpart. Korra became antsy her knees starting to wobble as Asami kissed her so heavenly, her hands roaming further down south to grasp Asami's butt. Asami moaned slightly in Korra's mouth making it harder for her to stand up straight.
*Buz* Buz*
The sound of Korra's phone going off broke up their make out session. They sighed as they broke away from each other, laying their foreheads together. Korra pulled her phone out of her pocket, cringing when she saw the caller ID.
"Are you gonna answer it?" Asami asked rubbing her hands through Korra's short brown locks.
Korra sighed defeatedly, "Yeah…"
So Korra answered it. "Hello?"
"Where are you?!" Kuvira on the other line yelled.
Korra had to move the phone away from her ear, "Bitch why are you worried about me?! But if you must know I'm at the café. And yell at me again or imma have to beat dat ass!" Korra yelled back.
"Bih please no balls! But I'm coming to get you so don't move." Kuvira retorted back.
Asami silently giggled at the two bickering.
"I'm a grown ass woman I can handle myself thank you very much."
"Well clearly you can't because you're about to be late for practice hoe!"
Korra checked the time on her phone and cursed herself. "Fuck it's almost 12:30!"
"See can't do shit right, I'm bringing you a change of clothes, I'm almost there bye hoe!" Kuvira said as she hanged up the phone.
"Who was that?" Asami asked with a humorous smile on her face.
"That was my dormmate Kuvira, she runs track too and is a total pain in my ass." Korra pouted.
"So, you have to go?" Asami asked.
"Yeah but at the same time I can't go anywhere." Korra shrugged
"Well I have to go anyway I have XC practice around one and I have to go get ready, I'll see you later Korra." Asami said as she kissed Korra on the cheek and stepped out of the stall.

Kuvira and Korra walked to the field house after Korra changed in the café. "We're gonna be doing extra warmup laps because we're gonna be late."
"Ok no one asked you to come and get me you could've already been there!" Korra yelled as Kuvira started to speed walk.
"You know I can't do that, its this stupid team bonding thing!"
"You'll be alright!" Korra said nonchalantly.
"No bitch I won't because this workout is already about to fuck me in the ass and on top of that we're doing extra laps uggghhh Lord Jesus take the wheel!" Kuvira prayed.
Korra knew what they were in for it was Monday after all, and Monday is the hardest day out of the week. "Oh, dear god I hope it's not repeat 200's or I might just have to beat dat ass!" Korra said referring to the head sprint coach.
"Oh yes anything but repeat 200's. remember last weeks workout with the repeat 200's with 10 seconds rest in-between?" Kuvira asked.
"Oh how can I possibly forget I literally left my soul on the track that day, and I think I cried in the shower that night." Korra said as she shivered at the memory.
"I know it was just so much lactic acid." Kuvira said as she opened up the door to the field house.
"We can only hope for the best today." Korra said shaking her head as she followed Kuvira through the doors.
XXXX
That hope was short lived because as soon as the sprinters were done with the warm ups the coach told them the workout. "So, this is what we got!" Coach Bei-Fong said amongst the melancholy faces of sprinters.
Korra covered her eyes and said a silent prayer.
"300-250-200, 4 sets at 95% pace!"
'SHIT!"
Kuvira looked over at Korra as the sprinters started to take their places on the track. "Well it was nice knowing you."
