Hearts On Fire

chapter four: Just Tell Me!

Korra's P.O.V

I locked my self in my room for the rest of the day. I got a few texts from Bo, but I'm avoiding them to avoid the questions. I heard people coming in and out of the house all night. Sometimes my mom leaves the house for this. I suppose she decided to be lazy. The universe is definitely against me.

This morning she decided to wake me up in one of the worst ways possible. She dumps a bucket of freezing cold water on me.

"Wake up ya pain in my ass whore." she says and walks out of my room. I can't wait until I turn 18 and I can finally get away from her.

"Yea, I'm the 'whore'." I mutter when she leaves. I roll out of bed and walk to bathroom, shivering. I peel off my wet clothes an jump in the shower. I dry my hair and brush my teeth. I walk over to my closet and pull out what I'm wearing for the day, blue jean shorts, a black belt, white tank top, black jacket and combat boots.

I put my hair in a messy bun and check over my appearance in the mirror once more. I liked what I picked out. I pick up my bag and my phone and head for the door.

"Dumb slut ruining my life..." I heard my mother mumble before I left.

I walk down the steps of the porch. Bolin and Mako are sitting in the car.

"Are you coming or what?" Bolin calls from the window.

"I'm just gonna walk today, it's not that far."

"Are you sure? It's no problem to just give you a ride. We're going to the same place."

"It's fine Bo. I'll see you guys in school." I say. Mako doesn't say anything. He just watches me intensely, like he can see right through me. We make eye contact for a second, and it's like he knows something. I turn and make my way to school.

Mako's P.O.V

Korra's avoiding us. That was obvious, but why?

I want to know what she isn't telling us. It's bothering me that she won't tell us, I don't know why. I'm walking down the hallway when I bump into someone. I look up to see a girl with blond hair and brown eyes. She's wearing a short black skirt, Purple top that showed off a bell button ring, Black jacket and purple stilettos. She looked like a hooker. She's twirling her hair around her finger and batting her eyelashes at me. She probably bumped into me on purpose.

"Oh my gosh. I should really watch where I'm going." She's not a good actor and there's a squeak in her voice.

"Yeah you should." I turn around and keep walking. I hear her shoes clicking and she catches up to me. She stands in front of me and leans her back the lockers and runs her fingers through her. She's trying to be sexy, but it really isn't working, she's trying too hard.

"I'm Dawn, by the way."

"Mako." It's obvious she won't leave me alone until I talk to her.

She stands up straight and walks closer to me. She stops and drags her finger down my chest making eye contact with me.

"So how about you and me go out sometime." She stairs up at me biting her lip.

"I don't think so." I try to walk past her but she grabs my arm.

"Well if you change you mind, which I know you will, here's my number." She pulls a pen out of her bra and writes her number in on my arm. I have never in my life seen a girl keep a pen in her bra. She puts the pen away and winks at me before walking away.

"Well she was um...cute, I guess." I jump at the voice behind me. I knew that voice though. I turn around and Korra is leaning against the locker arms crossed with a smirk on her face.

'Not as cute as you'. Wait, did I really just think that? I'm glad I didn't say it out loud she probably would have kicked my ass.

"So is your routine from now on, you skip class to meet up with your girlfriend?" she asks. It's not an actual question. I can hear the amusement in her voice.

"I thought you weren't talking to me and Bo." I say walking closer so that I'm standing in front of her.

"And what gave you that idea?"

"You haven't talked to us since Yesterday afternoon and you've been ignoring all the texts."

"Maybe I just didn't want to talk."

"...You just don't want us to ask questions."

"..."

"Korra, what is it that you're hiding from us? If it's something serious maybe we can help."

Her face takes on an angry expression and she starts to walk away from me. I grab her wrist and turn her around so that she is facing me again. She jerks her hand from me and starts to back away. She's not meeting my gaze and she's starting to get nervous.

"Korra, just tell me so we can help you."

"No." she says crossing her arms.

"Korra,"

"No! I don't want or need help." With that she runs down the hallway and around the corner.

Well here we are folks. Hoped you enjoyed:) Please review because it makes my day!
