Hey guys! First of all I want to apologize for my late updating, I was out of town and wasn't able to use my laptop. Sorry for any grammar or spelling errors. But anyways here's another chapter! The next few chapters will be interesting, I have something great planned. ;) As always reviews, criticism, and comments are appreciated! Until next time, enjoy!

After Korroh had left chemistry, he decided to take a walk to clear his mind. Apart from soccer, Korroh loved to take walks. It gives him a chance to calm down if he's having a bad day. Soccer always calms Korroh down as well. Korroh walked in the opposite direction as the other people on campus. He did not want to be bothered with anyone. He liked the new friends that he made, it's just he wasn't much of a sociable person. He needed a break from all the girls hitting on him in every direction he walked. Opal, Bolin, Mako, and Iroh are nice. Asami and I started off rough, but she's cool now. Kuvira seems a little...mean, but I guess she's okay. I honestly can't wait until I go to the Olympics. That's all I want. Korroh walked past the football team practicing and caught a couple of glances from some girls, but he ignored them. He didn't know where he was walking to, but he just kept on walking. Korroh didn't know how he got there, but he stumbled across a small lake. It had turtles and ducks swimming, squirrels playing and climbing on trees, and birds chirping flying in the sky. Korroh found this place peaceful. It was hidden behind the trees, so there wasn't anyone there. Korroh just sat down, starring at the lake. The way the animals interacted with each other was amazing. They were always in sync. Sometimes Korroh wished that his soccer teams were always in sync. Korroh thought that he should probably start heading back to the campus, so he got up and started walking back. When Korroh got back to his dorm, it was around 6:30pm. Maybe I should shower and get something to eat. Korroh showered and made his way to the cafeteria. As soon as he walked in, he spotted Bolin, Mako, and Irroh sitting down eating. He quickly grab his food and walked towards them trying to avoid the gawking looks the girls were giving him.

"Hey guys, mind if I sit here?" Asked Korroh.

"Korroh, bro...you're our friend. You're welcome to sit with us anytime." Mako said.

"Oh yeah, right. Heh."

"And where were you earlier? After chemistry you weren't in the dorm." Irroh questioned.

"Oh, well I'm not that good at chemistry. And the project was a little overwhelming so I took a walk to clear my head." Korroh didnt feel like telling them the whole truth about him wanting to get away from the girls. He was tired of thinking about girls.

"You know you can just hang out with us anytime you want right?" Asked Iroh.

"Oh yeah I know, but it's just I'm always busy with training for soccer."

"Well this Saturday after our game, we're all going out to dinner and maybe a movie. You should come too." Suggested Irroh.

"Oh yeah! That sounds great! Amd I'm bringing Opal!" Bolin exclaimed.

"Uh I don't know guys, I'll probably be busy with soccer." Korroh didn't really want to hang out with anyone. He feared that having friends could be a bit of a distraction from soccer. But he knew that he needed to hang out with them sometimes to make it look like he didn't like them.

"Well if you change your mind, let us know." Irroh said taking a sip of his milk.

"Yeah, I'll really think about it." Korroh replied.

"So how's your first two days at RCU going?" Questioned Bolin.

"Um well, it's been...interesting."

"Interesting?" Irroh looked quizzically at Korroh.

"Yeah. I mean I met great friends." Korroh gestured to the group of boys he was sitting with. "I became captain of the soccer team. And I great chem teacher—"

"And let's not forget about the fact that you get to sit next to Asami." Mako glared at Korroh, then sighed.

"Mako, calm down. I don't even like her like that."

"It's just I've liked her for a long time now and I don't understand why she doesn't like me."

"Okay, well maybe you should just try talking to her." Korroh suggested.

Mako laughed hysterically. "Are you serious or are you kidding?" Mako was still laughing. Korroh didn't find this amusing at all. "You've never had a girlfriend before, nor have you really had any friends, so what makes you think you know Asami?" Mako was still laughing after saying this. In fact, he was whipping tears from his eyes.

"Look, I'm not saying I know Asami. I'm saying talking with her just feels like the right thing to do."

"Hmm." Mako was in deep thought. "You know...I guess you're right, I'll do that. Thanks bro."

"Guys I'm gonna head back to the dorm and crash. I'm tired." Irroh yawned, standing up from the table to throw his food away. He knew just by listening to Mako and Korroh's conversation that Mako still liked Asami very much. But Mako wasn't Asami's type and neither was he. But...he knew that Asami would start to like Korroh. Korroh is the type that Asami is looking for. At that moment, Irroh made a promise to himself that he would do anything and everything to get Asami and Korroh together.

"Yeah I'm gonna head back my room too." Bolin yawned and got up. "See you tomorrow at practice Korroh. Korroh waved.

"Thanks for the talk bro. You coming back to the room?" Mako asked while standing up from the table.

"Um yeah I'll be there in a minute. I'm just gonna sit here for a few more minutes." Korroh gave Mako an assuring smile.

"Alright see you in the room." Mako walked off.

After Mako left, Korroh was just sitting at the table. You know, I guess it won't be that bad for me to at least make an attempt to hang out with my new friends. They have been really nice to me. Korroh noticed Kuvira was in the cafeteria sitting alone. He was going to go over and talk to her, just to try and be friendly, when a boy that he recognized from his soccer team walked over to Kuvira and kissed her. Korroh smiled to himself. Seeing other people happy made Korroh's heart swell with joy. Everyone was starting to file out of the cafeteria. There were some people left still eating, but majority had left. Then Korroh noticed Asami rushing into the cafeteria. She looked a mess compared to what she normally looked like. Korroh found himself starring. He didn't mean to stare at all. Just when he was about to take his gaze off of Asami, their eyes met. Korroh quickly looked away and continued eating.

"Hey Korroh." Asami said.

"Oh hey Asami." Asami had startled Korroh. He didn't see her walking towards him because he was a little embarrassed that he caught himself starring, when he doesn't date anyone, let alone like anyone here.

"Do you mind if I sit here?"

"Not at all. Be my guest." Korroh gestured for Asami to sit down.

"Thanks." Asami chuckled a bit, then sat down. "How was your first dinner in the cafeteria?"

"How did you know this was my first dinner here?" Korroh quirked an eyebrow.

"Well, the first time we met, so that would be yesterday, you were getting snacks from the vending machine. And most kids are at the cafeteria at that time...just an assumption that you didn't eat in the cafeteria." Asami shrugged while taking a bite out of her sandwich.

She's quite the thinker. Korroh laughed a bit. "Well, yes you're right. This is my first meal in the cafeteria here and it's okay."

"Why didn't you go yesterday?"

"Yesterday was a little overwhelming. And I was pretty tired. Today was tiring too, especially with chemistry." Korroh groaned, letting his head fall to the table.

Asami laughed. "Chemistry isn't that hard, it just takes time. Complicated stuff takes time."

Korroh thought about what she said. "Well I don't have great patience."

Asami laughed again. "I've noticed."

Korroh just smiled at Asami. He was getting tired, but he didn't want to get up and just leave Asami alone. He decided to wait until she was done eating, to leave. They were almost the last ones in the cafeteria when Asami finished eating.

"I can take your tray for you." Korroh held out his hand.

"Oh no it's fine—"

"No here let me take it." Korroh took Asami's tray and through her trash away. Their fingers brushed, but Korroh didn't pay any mind to it. Asami on the other hand had a small blush, that was only visible if you were very close to her face. Asami smiled at Korroh's actions. No boy has ever done that for me before. Not even Irroh.

"Thanks."

"Oh it's no problem. So...I'll see you tomorrow at 8:30 to finish our project."

"Yep. Tomorrow at 8:30 in the library." Asami smiled and began to walk away. Korroh yawned and put his hood on his head and started walking back to his dorm. When he got back, everybody was knocked out. Korroh hopped in his bead and drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

The next morning, Korroh had a hard time waking up. He had went to sleep around 10pm, but he was still tired from the previous day. He got up around 7:40. He had soccer practice at 8. He grabbed his water bottle and granola bars then headed out the door. He was dressed in his practice jersey and soccer shorts, carrying his backpack. When Korroh arrived to the field, a little over half the team was there. Yesterday, Coach Tarrlok has told them today was going to be a hard practice, since their first game was on Friday, three days from now. Their practices again consisted of warming up, skill work, conditioning, and scrimmages. By the end of practice, everyone was crawling on their knees or bent over gasping for air, except Korroh. To Korroh, this was just a little bit of a workout.

After practice ended, he practiced for an extra two hours, since he didn't have chemistry today. He stopped around 12pm. He headed to the cafeteria to grab a bite for lunch, before taking a walk. He walked back to the lake. He made that his peaceful place where he could come if he was frustrated, feeling down, or just wasn't himself. When Korroh reached campus again, it was 2:30pm. Korroh had training at 3pm. He walked to his training facility where he normally trains at. He's trained by one of the best Olympic soccer trainers there is. Her name is Toph Beifong. Training was hard and intense. But there wasn't any move that Korroh couldn't do.

By time he got back to his dorm room, it was 7:30. He had to admit, he was a little sore from training with Toph, so he decided to take an extra long shower before meeting with Asami. Korroh settled on wearing a hooded sweatshirt, Nike shorts and Nike shoes. He walked over to the library around 8pm, just to get a look around. Korroh sat down in a secluded area to give them a better place to focus. Five minutes past 8:30, Asami came rushing in. Her hair was messed up, her clothes were wrinkled, and she looked very distressed. Damn. She looks a mess. Maybe I should ask her if everything is okay. Or maybe not...she might think I'm mosey since we've only talked a few times. I'll just ask her after we finish.

"Hey Korroh, sorry I'm late." Asami said as she hastily sat down, taking out her chemistry book.

"Asami, it's only 8:35, you're okay." Korroh laughed a bit. That seemed to lighten the mood because Asami let out a small chuckle and her shoulders relaxed a little. "Shall we get started?"

"Yeah sure, let's start." They talked about their reaction types and compounds. Korroh got up a few times to grab books from the shelves. By the time they finished working, it was almost 10pm. They were both tired and exhausted. They on,y had a little bit more to finish for their project before they were completely done.

"Hey Asami, can I ask you something?" Korroh asked a bit timidly.

"Yeah sure, go ahead." Asami was packing up her stuff.

"You don't have to answer if you don't want to." Asami raised an eyebrow. Nodding for him to continue. "Are you doing okay?"

"What do you mean?" Asami asked.

"Well, lately you've just seemed...out of it. I mean I know I've only known you for like a few days, but still. You look distressed. Like yesterday in class you didn't look so good." Asami again raised an eyebrow. Korroh began to panick. "Oh not saying that you never look good, because you always seem to look good!" Asami kept her eyebrows raised. "Oh wait! Shit! Sorry that came out wrong!" Korroh took a deep breath. "Okay. What I'm trying to say, but failing miserably is that you looked a little distressed lately and I was just wondering if you're okay." He let out a breath and by now his cheeks were flush red.

Asami chuckled at Korroh's rambling before replying. "It's kind of you to notice that. And well I don't know."

"You can trust me. You know I'm a pretty good listener." Korroh gave a lopsided grin.

Asami smiled. "Remember how I told you that I have a really busy schedule?" Korroh nodded. "Well, it's just so hard to manage working and being at the top of all my classes at the same time."

Korroh nodded in understanding. "Well can't you like take some time off work, I'm sure they'll understand."

Asami shook her head. "I wish it was that easy. But when you're the CEO of one of the worlds largest companies, it's hard."

At the moment it clicked in Korroh's head that she is Asami Sato. "You're a Sato?"

"Yes. Yes I am." Asami said in a matter of fact tone.

"I'm such an idiot. I don't really pay attention to things. Sorry about that." Korroh said giving his trademark lopsided grin.

Asami smirked. "But I thought you said you were a good listener."

"I am. I only pay attention to the good things." Asami blushed slightly at his comment, but not enough for him to see.

"It's just a lot to manage."

Korroh nodded. "I completely understand. Do you need me to finish the project, because I don't mind at all?"

Asami was a little taken back by Korroh's generosity. "Oh no! Of course not! I like doing this project with you. I think it's a good way to end my day."

"Okay. Well just know if you ever need to talk or anything, my ears are always open."

"Thanks Korroh, it really means a lot." Asami smiled.

"Yeah no problem. What are friends for?" Friends. Korroh smiled to himself. I have good friends.

They walked out of the library. Korroh walked Asami to her dorm because he told her that it was too late for her to walk back by herself. She just smiled at the action. They said their goodbyes and Korroh walked back to his room and plopped down on his bed, drifting off into a deep sleep.
