chapter 9
The rest of the day went by quickly, Korra and Mako worked on their project for the rest of their science class. They had to look up all the background information before they could actually preform the experiment. They didn't get much work done though. There weren't enough computers in his classroom so a few groups had to go to the library. Mako and Korra were one of the groups chosen to go.
"Are you sure you don't want me to do any of this?" She asked, looking up at him.
He looked down at her and smiled, "No, it's okay."
She sighed and almost fell asleep until the bell rang. She jumped and Mako laughed.
"Not funny." She pouted at him as he put the laptop away.
"It was funny." He helped her up, and walked her to her next class.
Time skip to soccer and football practice
Korra walked to the field and saw Mako walking up the hill to the football field. He looked back at her and smiled. She smiled back and walked to her own field. They were doing simple warm up drills and she wasn't really paying attention. She was too busy looking at Mako practicing . He looked hot in a jersey. He was a really good player too. She had no doubt in her mind he would get a scholarship for football.
Mako thought the same about her. She was obviously the best player on their team. Her coach even said that ! She was super athletic and was the fastest one there! He knew she would get a scholarship for soccer if not for her grades. He was watching her practicing and they had started a game. She was on the winning team, obviously. Her teammate got in her way and accidentally hit her in her stomach . Korra fell on the ground and yelled out in agony.
"Korra!" He started running towards her.
The pain she was feeling was unbearable. Her idiotic teammate hit her in the side of her stomach that Tahno had punched. She was still sore from him punching her and this just made the pain worse. She was on the ground clutching her side when she heard Mako screaming her name. In a few seconds he was by her side helping her up. Coach Beifong ran over to her and was kneeling by her side.
"What in the flameo happened to you?" She asked, examining Korra's stomach . When she touched it Korra yelped in pain.
"Ouch! Don't touch it!" Korra said looking at her coach.
"I know you didn't get that from Ikola hitting you." She said looking at Korra.
Mako's eyes widened. 'IKOLA!' he though angrily. "I know she didn't do it on accident either!" Mako said through gritted teeth.
Korra wasn't surprised. "I never did like that bitch. As soon as I came here she was always giving me death stares and always ran into me on purpose." She mumbled.
"Probably because she used to be the star player on the team, until you came." Coach thought out loud.
"How do you know it was on purpose?" Korra asked.
"Well, ummm." He looked from Korra to coach Beifong and back to Korra. And Korra nodded in understanding.
"Coach, do you mind letting me talk to Mako in private?" She asked.
"I don't mind, but your kinda in the middle of the soccer field and the others still need to practice..." Coach Beifong said.
"Oh yeah..." She got up slowly with a lot of help from Mako, she pushed him away and almost fell over but Mako caught her. "Owwwww." She groaned.
"It wouldn't hurt if you'd let me help you." Mako said, annoyed at her stubbornness.
Korra mumbled something but let Mako help her. He walked her off the field and sat her down on the bench.
Coach Beifong was watching them with suspicious eyes. That bruise on Korra was much worse than she had expected it to be. Even though Ikola had hit her hard, she wouldn't of left a bruise that big. She was going to need to watch Korra more closely from now on.
Mako sat Korra down and sat down next to her.
"Talk." She said to him.
Mako took a deep breath and explained what had happened to them in the bathroom.
Korra looked down as she took it all in. "Oh." She said sadly.
"What's the matter?" Mako asked her trying to look her in the eyes.
"It's bad enough he was bad to me but now my brother and you! That's just sick! The thing's this boy will do to make my life miserable..." Korra said, still not looking up at Mako.
"Hey, look at me." Mako said softly. When she didn't look up he gently lifted her chin to face him. "Listen to me. It's okay! We will figure it out. You don't need to worry about it." He gave her a hug .
"Thanks Mako. It seems you are always comforting me." She said, smiling up at him.
"Isn't that what a boyfriends for?" He said.
"MAKKKOOO!"
Mako sighed and looked at his brother who yelled at him from the football field.
"I have to go, see you when practice is over. I'm still allowed to come over right?" Mako asked, standing up.
"Yeah, why wouldn't you?" She asked.
"Just making sure, please be careful!" Mako said, walking towards his brother.
Korra rolled her eyes, "Okay." She stood up and walked to the field.
"You alright to play Korra?" Beifong asked.
"Yeah, it was just a bruise..." Korra said, running into the game. Not allowing her coach to say anything else.
"Good lord that girl." Coach Beifong mumbled to herself and watched the rest of practice.
Mako walked to Bolin. "What do you want Bo?"
"Well it's good to see you too!" Bolin said acting hurt by Mako's words.
Mako rolled his eyes.
"Coach was wondering where you were and was getting mad. So I thought I'd call you over here." Bolin said.
"Thanks bro." Mako said as he walked back into the practice.
"So why did Korra fall on the ground anyways? That girl didn't hit her that hard."
When Mako didn't respond Bolin got really suspicious.
"Why did Korra fall on the ground Mako?" He repeated himself.
"It's nothing!" Mako snapped at Bolin.
Bolin looked hurt and Mako felt bad.
"Sorry Bo but it's nothing. Just stay out of it." Mako said, avoiding Bolins questioning gaze.
"Whatever." Bolin said, dropping the subject.
"Where were you Mako?" Their coach asked in a harsh voice.
"I was helping my girlfriend." Mako responded, straightening up. He was always trying to impress the coach.
"Why?" Coach asked in a little less harsh voice.
"She was hurt and I felt like I needed to help her." Mako said.
All the football players had gathered around to see why coach was so angry.
"Awwww little Mako helped his girlfriend!" Coach said in a sarcastic tone.
Mako flinched at that. "She was hurt and she's my girlfriend! What was I supposed to do? Sit and watch while she was in pain?"
"No! You were supposed to practice and watch!" Coach yelled at Mako.
Mako didn't say anymore. He walked away from everyone and started throwing the football.
"Damn kid." Coach mumbled, loud enough for the kids that watched him yell at Mako to hear.
When practice was over Mako walked to the locker room and changed. He met Korra outside the gym. She was kicking the ball against the school's brick wall waiting for Mako. He was still in a bad mood after his fight with his coach, but seeing Korra made his mood change from crappy to great.
"What took you so long?" Korra asked picking up the soccer ball and putting it under her arm.
"Sorry, but I'm here now so lets go!"
Korra laughed at his eagerness to go to her house. "Okay. Why are you so happy to go to my house?"
"It means more alone time with you." Mako whispered into her ear.
He put his arm around her waist and they walked to his car.
On the ride their Korra turned on the radio.
"I LOVE this song!" Korra yelled, turning it up.
Mako put down the windows and they were jamming out
When they got there, Mako noticed Jace wasn't there. College usually didn't have classes this late.
"Korra, where is your brother?" He asked.
She got out of the car and walked to the front porch, "He is at football practice, remember he told you he was the quarter back for the Fire Ferrets?" She opened the door and walked inside.
"Oh yeah." Mako said, recalling the conversation. Her brother was a pretty cool guy. Mako then smiled, thinking they were all alone. He closed the door and walked up to her, he leaned in close and whispered in her ear. "Does this mean we are all alone?"
Korra smiled, his breath on her ear was warm and it make her blush slightly. "I guess so, what did you have in mind that we do?" She asked, looking at him.
He kissed her as an answer
"Awwww, how sweet! Korra never told me she had a boyfriend!" Senna, Korra's mother, squealed while pulling out her camera on her phone.
They pulled away quickly and both their faces were bright red.
"H-Hi Mrs. Valencourt." Mako said walking up to her. He put out his hand for her to shake, "I'm Mako, Korra's boyfriend. But I guess you already figured that out..." Mako said, nervously smiling.
"It's sooooo nice to meet you! Please just call me Senna! Mrs. Valencourt makes me sound so... old!" She said, pulling Mako in for a hug.
Mako was surprised and stood stiff as a board for a few seconds and then patted her back awkwardly. "It's nice to meet you too Senna."
"Mom! Let go of Mako! You're scaring him!" Korra said, walking over to her boyfriend and helping him.
Senna pulled away quickly, "Oops, sorry!"
Korra started pulling Mako towards the living room, "We will be in here watching a movie." Korra said as they disappeared around the corner.
"Okay! You two have fun!" Senna said as they walked away. "But not too much fun!" She added quickly.
Mako laughed when he sat down. "Your mom is nice."
Korra rolled her eyes, "She is embarrassing!"
"How?"
"Um, she hugged you and walked in on us kissing. AND TOOK PICTURES!" Korra said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"It wasn't that bad. She does have a tight grip though..." Mako said.
Korra giggled, "Yeah, so what movie you want to see? We have The Waterboy, Perks Of Being A Wall Flower, Epic, Scary Movi and 5, Hunger Games..."
"What ever you want, I really don't care. As long as I get some alone time with you." Mako said.
Korra blushed and picked the Hunger Games, it was her favorite. She walked over to the couch and sat down next to Mako. He laid down and Korra laid on top of him. He wrapped his arms around her and she snuggled into his chest.
Mako wasn't really paying attention to the movie, he was too busy looking at Korra. God she is beautiful! And she was his, and he was hers. She snuggled closer to him when the scene were Rue died came on. Mako felt her shiver at this scene. He thought he could see a few tears in her eyes.
"You know it's just a movie, right?" Mako asked hugging her tightly.
She looked up at him, "yeah, but it's still sad."
"Yeah, I know. Korra?"
"Yes?"
"I really like you, you know." He said, kissing her on her cheeks .
"I know." She said "I really like you
