Hearts On Fire

chapter ten: I don't like you

Mako's P.O.V

I walk into the house to wake up Bo so he can get ready for school. I shake him him, but he doesn't stir and continues to snore. Time for plan B. I stand a far enough distance for what I'm about to do.

"Breakfast!" I shout.

Bolin shoots up faster than a bullet. He bounds down the stairs and I assume into the kitchen. I laugh loudly as I hear his disappointment of walking in to the kitchen and finding nothing cooked. I lean against the wall near the door to his room waiting for him to come back in. He comes back up the stairs slowly, glaring at me. He stops in the doorway and looks over at me again.

"That... was cruel."

He walks into the room and flops back onto his bed.

"Get up Bo, get ready for school and then I'll make breakfast."

"You better." He mumbles into his pillow before rolling out of bed. He heads to the bathroom and I walk back to my room. After my morning routine, I go down stairs and make breakfast. Bo comes down after he's ready and gobbles down his food. After about 30 minutes we grab our things and head to the car.

"Did you text Korra yet?" Bolin asks me.

"I was just about to."

To: Korra

From: Mako

Come outside. I'm not coming to the door again because the last time I did, your mom was giving me 'hungry eyes'.

She takes a while to answer and I get a little nervous after what her mom did to her this morning. I relax when I get a reply.

To: Mako

From: Korra

Eww... I'll be right out.

I put my phone back into my pocket and wait in the car with Bolin. She gets in the backseat and sits quietly. In fact, the whole drive was quiet until Bolin noticed something.

"Korra...What happened to your arm?"

I saw Korra freeze in the backseat.

"I fell and broke it." she says, hoping that he believes the lie. She's not very good at that particular thing.

"When'd that happen?"

"This morning...can we not talk about it anymore, Please?"

Bolin drops the subject and the silence returns. I look back at Korra through the rear view mirror. Her gaze is down cast and her face is blank. I frown to my self and look back at the road. We pull into the school parking lot and she hopped out of the car as soon as she could, rushing into the building. Bo gives me a confused look and I just shrug my shoulders at him.

Korra's P.O.V

I walk into the school as fast as possible. I'm not in the mood for questioning. I feel bad about lying to Bolin, but I don't want to worry him. I feel bad enough that Mako has to deal with this. I walk over to my locker to grab my books. I drop one on account of the fact that I only have one good arm right now. Before I can pick up the book, someone does it for me. Then, fire meets ice when I my eyes meet Mako's familiar ones.

"Thanks." I say, taking the book from him and putting it back in my locker. I turn to walk away with my books when he grabs my hand. I look back at him.

"What?"

"We still need to talk about this morning."

"I have to go to class."

"Korra, class doesn't start for another 20 minutes."

I sigh, starting to think of another excuse not to talk, but I can't come up with one. I look down at the ground so that I don't have to see the concern plastered all over his face.

"I don't want to talk about it." I say making another attempt to walk away from him.

He catches up to me and takes my books to carry. I can feel him looking down at me, but I refuse to look at him.

I hear him sigh loudly. "We have to talk about it eventually."

I stop and turn to him. "No, we don't."

"Fine, don't talk about it. But you aren't staying at your house tonight."

"And why not?"

"Why would I let you stay there with her? So she can nearly kill you again?" I cringe at the thought. "I don't think so, so either stay with Asami, or with me and Bo."

"Fine." I say after a staring competition. I pouts and stalk down the hallway. Once we reach my class, Mako sets my books on my desk and walks to his class before he's late.

Mako's P.O.V

All of my classes are extremely boring. I barely even pay attention. Eventually it's time for lunch. I start to walk down the hallway when I feel someone pull me into a closet. Before I know it, the person that grabs me crashes their lips to mine. I'm in shock and I freeze in place, not moving. The person pushes me up against a wall and wraps a leg around me. Their hands slip under my shirt and run up my stomach. I snap out of my stupor and push the person away. I look down at the blond girl in front of me. She's wearing a purple tube top that came just above her bellybutton and a really short, black pencil skirt with black heels.

"Like what you see? I wore it just for you." She bites her bottom lip and bats her eyelashes at me.

"What do you want Dawn?"

"I just wanted to spend time with you. You went to get me a drink the other night but you disappeared. You were with that girl weren't you?"

I forgot all about the fact that I left her on the dance floor, but then again I didn't want to dance with her in the first place. I don't even like-like her!

"Dawn, sorry bout leaving you and everything, but what is this all about?" I ask her, gesturing to the closet and our current situation.

"I already told you. I wanted to spend some time with you without her around."

"So you drag me into a closet and practically try to rape me?" I raise an eyebrow at her.

"Well it's the only way I could get your attention. That girl is ruining our relationship already."

"What relationship?! We don't even know each other. As a matter of fact, I don't even like you!"

"That doesn't mean we can't date." she says leaning in to kiss me.

Alright, she's definitely crazy. I quickly push her away again and she looks at me confused, as if i didn't just reject her. I put a hand on each shoulder.

"Dawn, I'm sure you're probably a nice girl, but listen to me carefully. I. Do. NOT. Like You."

With that, I walk out of the closet to the cafeteria. I grab my lunch and sit with my friends at the table.

"So, Mako?" Korra looks up at me.

"Yeah?"

Asami has plans tonight. She has to go somewhere with her dad, so I guess I'm staying with you and Bo."

Before I can say anything, we hear a very loud, very happy 'Sleepover!' from Bolin who is sitting next to me. Korra laughs at her friends enthusiasm and I simply smile.

This chapter sucks, I know. I will update again tomorrow. I would have posted sooner, but work has been killing me. Thanks for all the reviews guys, they make me feel better. I asked for ideas on the last chapter. Some people gave me some really good ideas that I will probably work into the story. If I use your idea, I'll give you credit for it. Anyway, it's late. Until next time...

Review: good, bad, critique. I wanna hear it!

Thanks!:)
