*BEEP BEEP BEEP* Korra groaned and turned off her alarm. "Ugh, five  minutes more !" She mumbled into her pillow. Korra reluctantly got out of her bed and stepped into the shower. After her shower she picked out her clothes for her first day at her new school, Republic city  High. Her dad had gotten a job offer and they had to move. She walked downstairs and her mom, Senna, greeted her.

"Hey sweetie! Ready for your first day of school?" Senna asked while giving her a plate of pancakes.

"No, I hate school." Korra said with her mouth full of pancakes.

"Oh come on Korra! At least be a little enthusiastic about it!" Her mom said.

"No! I hate going back to school. Especially a new school!"

"Why?" Senna asked as she sighed, Korra always complained about school.

"Because it's just a bunch of new popular kids who judge everyone else because they  think that they are sooooo much better than everyone. All the jocks who think they will be successful in life by being jerks and all the little cheerleader  thinking that dating every guy will make them 'sexier.'" Korra said, packing her bag.

"Korra, you can't just assume that the people at this school are going to be that way! Get to know them before judging them!" Senna said aggravated at her daughter for not being open minded.

"Whatever, I'm ready, can you drive me?" Korra's car was still in her old town because her mom didn't want her to drive it here during the trip. It was going to be driven here by her older brother when he came here in a few weeks.

"Yeah, lets go!" Her mom said enthusiastically.

When she arrived at school she walked to the office to get her schedule.

"Korra Valencourt." Korra told the lady at the desk.

"Here you are, your locker number and combination is on the bottom of the sheet." The lady said.

"Thanks." Korra mumbled.

She walked to her locker and put her books away.
------------------------------------------------
Mako was talking with his teammates at his locker. Mako was one of the most popular kids at the school and was the quarter back for there football team. But he never really payed attention to his popularity. He looked over at the girl who had just walked up to her locker. She was wearing a tight blue top and blue and white jeans with brown boots. 'She must be new. She's cute. Hope she isn't like every other girl at this school' He thought while staring at her.

Korra sensed someone looking at her and turned around. When she turned around she saw a tall handsome boy with auburn eyes and jet black hair 
staring at her.Ugh, another 'popular'  He's got his whole posy around him.' Korra thought as she looked at him 'But he is kinda cute, I really like his scarf'
Mako decided he wanted to meet her and started walking over to her. "Hey, I'm Mako, you new here?" He stuck out his hand for her to shake. He felt an electrifying shock hit his hand when she shook his hand. He felt the heat rise to his cheeks when he realized he was still holding her hand.

"Yes, I am new." She said.

'This girl is obviously not into me... that's a first. I like that' "Here, let me see your schedule." Mako said as he took her schedule from her hand. "We have almost every class together including this one, I will walk you there." He said smiling.

'Wow, he has a really cute smile. But I still don't want him to walk with me to class.' "No thanks, I think I can find the classroom on my own. But thanks anyways."
Bolin smiled when he saw Mako talking to the new girl. His brother had many girls who liked him but he took no interest in them. He didn't like girls who were all gaga over him. Bolin could tell that his brother really liked this girl. So when Mako came back with a frown on his face Bolin was sad for his brother.

"Bro, what happened? I thought all the ladies loved you!" Bolin said clapping his brother on his back.

"This one obviously doesn't. I think that's why I'm attracted to her." Mako sighed.

"Whats her name?" Bolin asked, "Maybe she can sit with us at lunch!"

Mako face palmed. "I can't believe I forgot to ask her her name! God I am such an idiot!"

"Don't sweat it bro! Just get her name in your next class with her!"
------------------------------------------------
Korra knew she should have walked with Mako, she was completely lost! When she finally found her classroom, she looked at the clock and saw that she was 5 minutes late.

"Ah, Korra glad to see you finally decided to show up. There is only one seat left at the back of the room. Go get seated quietly and turn to page 138 in your literature textbook." Mr. Toza said.

'Great, I'm late to my first class of the day! This is why I hate school.' She walked to the only open seat and saw that it was next to Mako. 'Even better...' Korra thought sarcastically.

When Korra sat down and opened her textbook, Mako threw a note on her desk. (Bold is Mako and Italic is  Korra)

Hey, glad to see you found your way to class... I never did catch your name.

My name is Korra.

Korra, that's a pretty name
Korra rolled her eyes, but blushed at the compliment

Thanks...

So  do you like the school so far?

Eh, it's okay. It's better than my old school. I think I can get used to it here.

Did You make any friends other than me?

Oh great, he thinks we are friends.

No, I had just walked in the school when you saw me.

Do you wanna sit with me and my friends at lunch? We have next block together and I think you will really like some of my friends.

Ummm...sure

Great :)

The bell rang and Korra got up and walked out of  the class, wanting to loose Mako in the process.

"Korra, wait up!" Mako yelled running to catch up with her.

Korra kept walking, trying to got away from Mako. But he caught up with her.

"Why do I get the feeling that  you really hate me?" Mako asked when he caught up.

"I don't hate you... you said that  we are  'friends'."

"That's because I want to be your friend. I have to admit I was pretty sad when you turned down my offer for walking you to class. I really thought you didn't like me!" He sighed out of relief.

Korra was blushing. "Yeah, sorry about that... I just didn't feel like I needed anyone's help finding my class."

Mako noticed her blush and smiled. "It's okay, but you can make it up to me by letting me walk you to our next class!"

Korra looked up at him and smiled. "Sure, lead the way."
-----------------------------------------------
There next class went by quickly and it was lunch time soon. Mako walked to the cafeteria with some of his friends so Korra walked there alone. When she got there, she didn't see any open seats at Mako's table.. 'I should have known he didn't want me to sit with him at lunch! He was just trying to be friendly...'  Korra thought as she looked for a table.

"Hey Mako! Is that the girl you have a crush on over there?" Bolin asked looking over at her.

"Bolin! Keep it down! She might hear you!" Mako yelled at his brother.

"Bro, this cafeteria is one of the loudest place in this school! I highly doubt she heard me. Did you ever find out her name?"

"Yeah, Korra." Mako told him happily.

"Oooooo! Mako likes someone? That's a first! Omg Mako! I'm totally going to hook y'all up! Who is she?" Asami squealed.

"Asami! Stop making such a big deal about it! It's the new girl, Korra." Mako started to blush.

"Well call her over here! I want to meet her!" Asami said.

"There's no room." Mako said sadly.

"Just ask Howl to move! Howl could you please move? Mako already saved that seat." Asami asked sweetly.

Howl got up and Mako gave her a thankful look and called to Korra.

"Korra over here!"

Korra walked over to his table, 'Why did I agree to this? Now I'm sitting with a bunch of the 'populars!'

"Hey Mako. Thanks for letting me sit with you and your friends." Korra said sitting down.

"Any friend of Makos, is a friend of mine! I'm Bolin, Makos brother. Nice to meet you!" Bolin said, his mouth full of food. Korra laughed, 'He seems really nice! Maybe not ALL of the populars are jerks' Korra thought.

"Hi, I'm Asami!" Asami said, smiling as she looked from Mako to Korra.

'That's weird, why is she looking at us like that? Whatever, she seems nice too! Maybe the people at this school are different from the people at my old school!' Korra thought.

"Nice to meet you." Korra said smiling. Bolin wrapped his arm around Asami and she figured they were dating.

Mako looked down at her and smiled. 'This girl is really cute, I wonder if she has a boyfriend... Mako wondered. He knew he'd never have the guts to ask her out but he really wanted to. She wasn't like the other girls at this school and he really liked that about her.

"So Korra, you play any sports?" Asami asked, wanting to know how to get her and Mako together.

"Yeah, I play volleyball and soccer." She answered.

"Cool, you gonna try out for the soccer team here at school? Try-outs are after school, Mako and Bolin have football practice after school so they can drive you home! Right Mako?" Asami said enthusiastically.

Before he could answer, Korra spoke up. "No that's fine! I don't want you guys to have to take me home, I can just get my mom to pick me up."

"No, we would be happy to take you home!" Mako blurted out, wanting to spend as much time with her as possible.

"Oh, umm okay sure. That would be great." Korra said, blushing slightly.

Lunch ended and Korra didn't know where her next class was. Asami walked over to her and saw that she looked lost.

"Need help finding your next class?" Asami asked her.

"Yeah, if you don't mind. I have history with Mrs. Pema in room B-14." Korra said looking at her schedule.

"Really? Me too! Come on, lets walk together!"

They walked to class and sat next to each other. Asami started passing Korra notes, (Bold-Asami,italics-Korra)

Hey Korra! I was wondering if you wanted to hang out after your soccer tryouts at my house! Bolin and Mako are coming over anyways and you could come with them if you want!

Sure, I'd love to! But Why are Bolin and Mako going to be there?

Bolin is my boyfriend and comes over everyday, Mako just tags along because he's a loner and doesn't make any attempt to invite someone over to his house so that me and Bolin can have our privacy. But it doesn't really annoy me anymore, he usually leaves us alone and watche TV. So if you wanna come to keep his lonely ass company, your welcome to come!

'So he doesn't have a girlfriend?' Korra thought happily. 'Wait! I'm not supposed to be happy about that! We are only friends! Ugh.'

Yeah, but I have a lot of homework so far so I can't stay too late and are you sure Mako would want me to hang out with him?

Isn't Mako in like half of your classes? I'm sure he wouldn't mind helping you with your homework! In fact, I think he would love to! ;)

'Why would she say 'Love to' and put a winky face? Does he like me? Wait, I'm not supposed to like him! God, why can't I stop thinking about him?' Korra thought frantically.

Ok, cool!

The bell rang and science was over. "Okay class! Don't forget to get your homework on the way out!" Ms. Pema said.

'Great, more homework...' Korra thought sarcastically.

"Hey Korra, I'm really happy that we are friends now!" Asami said as they packed up.

"Me too!" Korra smiled up at Asami.
-----------------------------------------------
Finding her next class was easy. And Korra saw that Mako was in this class with her too. He had saved her a seat next to him and was motioning for her to come over and sit down. Korra smiled and started walking over to him.

"Hey, have any trouble finding this class?" Mako asked as he got out his agenda.

"No, this class is right down the hall from history so it wasn't to hard to find." Korra said as she  got out her agenda and wrote down her homework.

"Well, that's good. So I heard you were coming to Asami's  house after school?" Mako finished writing down his homework and looked up at Korra. He was really happy she was coming. Not only because now he wouldn't be a loner, but also because that meant he got to spend more time with her.

"Yeah! She invited me last class. How did you know?" Korra asked.

Mako shrugged "News travels fast. So, are you good at soccer?"

Korra looked up at him and saw him blushing slightly, 'Omg! Is he blushing because of me?' "Well, yeah I guess. I was  number 1 player at my last school but our team wasn't that good."

"Okay students, look to the person next to you! Good, that person will be your partner for your science experiment! Make sure you choose a good experiment, your project proposal sheets that I'm passing around now are due next class! But the actual project isn't due for another 2 weeks. You have the rest of class to work on it." Mr. Tenzin, their science teacher, said.

'Yes! Korra is my partner and is in almost all of my classes! Could this day get much better?' "Okay, so what do you think we should do?" Mako asked Korra.

"Um, I don't know. How about the effect of different types of coke on how much it exploded when a mentos was dropped in it?" Korra suggested. 'Yes! Mako is my partner! Wait, why am I happy? I can't like him! Damn it! But he's so cute and had the greatest smile! Ugh, why do I have to like him?'

"Wow, okay. You came up with that quickly. I like the idea, lets do it."

They spent the rest of the class filling out the worksheet so that it would't be homework . When there was about 5 minutes left in class Mako looked over at Korra.

"Whats your number?"

Korra looked up at Mako with a surprised look on her face. 'Omg! He wants my number? Yay!' Korra thought. Mako was suddenly very nervous, "You know... so I can text you about the project." Mako said, he could feel the heat rising to his cheeks.

Korra giggled at his blush, "Here, give me your phone." Mako obeyed and gave her his phone. She put in her number and gave it back.

"Thanks, now give me yours." Korra gave him her phone and he put in his number. When he returned it she saw that he put his name in as "Mako ;)" She looked at it and blushed at the winky face. 'Omg! I think he likes me and I'm pretty sure I like him too! No Korra, you don't like him! Stop acting so happy! But I do like him! Shit!'

The bell rang and Korra walked to her next class. The rest of the day went by quickly.  Neither  Mako nor Asami were in her  last class so she walked to the soccer field alone.
