A/N-And now a chapter in Tahno's point of view.

Enjoy!

I didn't give a shit about who she was, all I know is that she saved my life so I owed her.

My reputation as a nerd in this school was a huge deal. Even the Rebels spent numerous amounts of time to spread rumors about me. Negative attention wasn't so bad because I loved the attention I was getting for being an asshole. Besides, I never got this much attention at home anyway. Mako was going to rob me for my lunch money before she showed up. I snuck away while Mako watched her get pulled away by the principals. It was quite the sight if you ask me, I mean, seeing Mako react that way to her was amusing and I just had to say something. I liked her instantly, though there was one problem that wedged itself inside my head.

What was she?

I thought about the two possibilities that came up: if she was a Royal we could chat anytime we wanted and talk about things we had in common, hell, she could hang with my friends if she wanted to. Then, the cons flowed endlessly to my brain. In fact, all I could think about was the negative aspects of this girl being a Rebel. I don't know why that bothered me so much. I've met many new girls before.

Why was this one so different?

And why did I fucking care?

I felt an arm pull me into an empty classroom. The lights were still on and he sat on a desk, while tapping his foot on the floor. He wore a blue and orange cardigan, khaki pants, and tennis shoes. Oh, and to top that off he had a black scarf on. Shaozu looked up at me smiling, I assumed from that glint in his brown eyes he wanted to cause trouble. My other friend, Ming, was standing near the door and him, along with his brother, probably had the same outfit on today. These two were my best friends four years and I expected them to cause chaos.

Shaozu spoke while avoiding my gaze,"A little birdy told me that there's a new girl at school."

"Yeah," Ming said excitedly,"this person also said you met her. True or false?"

Shaozu shook his head,"Ming, you know he's not going to admit to anything."

"He will."

"No, he won't."

"Yes, I will."

"Dammit Tahno!" Shaozu seemed angry with me. Scratch that, I knew he was angry at me. I enjoyed seeing him upset.

He pinched the brink of his nose as if he was the one with all the problems. I wasn't trying to go out with girl yet he assumed I was. Ming would shrug it off and wouldn't care about the situation. Shaozu could be a jealous bastard.

I had enough when Shaozu said,"Look, you can go ahead and try to make her your girlfriend Tahno."

I turned around and shoved Ming out-of-the-way because he was blocking my exit to the room.

Ming put his hand on my shoulder saying,"Good luck."

"Thanks," I smiled a bit and said to Shaozu,"Stop spying on me. It's irritating."

I slammed the door on my way out.

After school continued as usual for me. I participated in two or three clubs each year and this made my parents talk about me quite frequently to their friends. That's all they ever did, brag about me as if they knew me well. Truth be told, I could barely tolerate them anymore; acting like the family was above perfection. My days after school were mostly spent at Asami Sato's.

You could say that we had a love-hate relationship going on which, in my opinion, was true. Asami on the other hand denies any connection she has with me. I knew her since junior high and even then she was a pain in the ass. Her father Hiroshi Sato owned Future Industries in Republic City and he's always adored my charismatic personality.

I may have exaggerated the part about my charisma but he considers me a fantastic friend to Asami non the less.

Today was one of those days where I visited Asami to have one of our chats. Frankly, I needed someone to talk to. My Satomobile was parked in front of the school though I had no intentions of driving it to Asami's. Her house was in walking distance in Republic City's private estate district so I'd use my vehicle to drive myself home later.

It was already five-thirty so I stepped farther away from the school building down the street to the Sato's mansion. Many corners and street blocks later I arrived at my destination.

To say that the mansion was beautiful was an insult. The word would have to be luxurious. What made it even better was the fact that, while the sun was setting, the place glistened in glory.

I edged closer to the front door of this mansion (security was on break I suppose) only to be met with a surprising expression on Asami's face at the top of the steps.

Her green eyes narrowed,"Don't you have anything better to do than bug me?"

I flashed her a smile,"Oh, Asami. You're so cute when you're trying to sound sassy."

I made a mental note of her outfit in my head. Her smooth raven hair was in a bun, running shoes specifically made in pink, and she wore a blue tank top with black sweatpants.

"What the hell are you wearing? It's November."

She started walking towards me,"I know what damn month it is, Tahno. Why are you here?"

"I need to speak with you. It's urgent."

Asami nodded and I followed her up the steps into the mansion.

She handed me a bottle of water from her mini fridge in the living room. The last time I was here was over at Asami's home was in September whwn school had begun. We used to hang out until she became a 'popular girl'. For the first two years of high school everything was perfect. Asami and I were both deemed as Royals, but our choices in friends divided us. My time was spent with Ming and Shaozu while Asami found friendship in a guy named Bolin. These changes, however, couldn't faze me. If I wanted her to know my business I'd divulge it to her.

She plopped down next to me on the leather couch saying something that really shocked me,"I'm sorry."

I didn't expect this out of her but went along with it anyway,"I know."

"You don't care."

I actually turned to face her. Her eyes were watering and I felt bad about what I said.

"Asami," I held her hand gently,"I care."

She wiped at her face and said,"Sorry, sorry. This isn't about me. You wanted to talk, right?"

I nodded.

She pushed some hair out of my face,"Something to do with the new girl?"

I sighed,"She just got here. What, did the Prep Paper print out an article already?"

Asami smiled dreamily,"No, Bolin told me they talked-"

I sat up straighter,"Bolin? Oh god..."

She laughed at me,"Yes, Bolin. He called me as soon as he met her in detention. Isn't that great?"

I got up off the couch,"Do you understand what this means? I can imagine the complications of his in my head." I began pacing,"Those two idiots set themselves in a trap of their own creation. I have a very good feeling about this Asami."

She scowled at me,"You shouldn't concern yourself over something that isn't any of your damn business. Leave Bolin and Mako alone with their own affairs."

"How'd you know I was discussing Bolin and Mako?"

"You're been calling those two idiots for a long time."

We were quiet for a while and I was glad Asami didn't bring up my parents. I knew it wouldn't last, however, when I heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

Hiroshi rushed to shake my hand,"Tahno! I haven't seen you since September. Asami keeps saying all these crazy things. I told her you'd visit soon. Boy was I right-"

Asami leaped up to cover her father's mouth,"That's enough Dad."

"I need to get home now. Nice seeing you ."

As soon as I left I put my ear to the front door, eavesdropping.

The voices were silent for a moment until I heard Asami's voice,"I really like him, Dad. I...just don't think he's into me."

Holy shit.
