"wait my bad are you, Asami Sato?"
The next two months past by relatively quickly for Asami, since Korra had left Asami didn't really have anything to do so she decided to start helping her dad at Future Industries, just doing simple things like drawing up blueprints or helping her dad with a prototype, it was fun but it didn't really keep her mind from wandering to a certain mocha-skinned, short-haired, muscular swimmer that plagued Asami's mind every day. She was wracking her brain, trying to figure out if Korra actually liked her, the kiss from before seemed like Korra had been wanting to do that for a while but still, Asami thought Korra was just caught up in the moment and whatnot.
Sure Korra knew Asami was bi, and Asami knew Korra was bi but since they practically grew up together, Korra might've just thought of them as sisters or something, but the voice in the back of Asami's mind said otherwise "would she really kiss you if she thought of you as like a sister?" but Asami didn't want to make and assumptions about it or read too much into it and end up getting hurt or something of the sort, so Asami let it be, she never said anything about it while on the phone with Korra and Korra didn't bring it up either. The stupid little voice came in again "she's probably embarrassed to have kissed you" but Asami just pushed it aside and shoved it deep down.
It was finally the first day of her junior year and Asami was absolutely ecstatic about it, she just wished Korra was there. Asami awoke at 7 am as she usually does, the alarm on her phone is blaring so she picks it up and shuts off the alarm but before placing her phone on the nightstand and getting up to get ready a text notification caught her attention.
*1 missed call from Korra*
*1 text message from Korra*
Asami quickly unlocked her phone and debated on if she should call Korra back or just to read the message and respond there, Asami chose the message situation.
Korra: Hey Sami, I just wanted to wish you good luck on your first day of school! I know it's going to be hard without me there so I decided I'm gonna send you text messages every morning so that you don't miss me too much. I love you and remember 4 years!
Asami: I love you too Kor and yes I know 4 years, also thank for this I really needed that extra push:)
With that Asami hit send and decided to get ready, it didn't take long for Asami to get ready she had already laid out all her clothes that she was going to be wearing. Asami chose black ripped jeans, a maroon crop top, and a Future Industries leather jacket. She quickly did her makeup and ran downstairs where her father was waiting for her in the kitchen.
"Hello sweetie, you look nice" he said while looking up from his morning paper "Don't forget to eat something before you go because breakfast is-"
Hiroshi was cut off by Asami finishing the sentence "the most important meal of the day" chuckling at her father's antics before grabbing herself a bowl from the cupboard and pouring herself some cereal that was on the counter. After eating, Asami hurriedly hugged her father goodbye, she then raced to her car and began driving to school.
The school was in chaos when Asami arrived, she had gotten to school before the morning rush started to pick up so that was a win in her book, her morning was going relatively well but then the gaggles of freshman started showing up and they started to clog the hallways and all the annoying stuff freshman do. But the thing that really got Asami's blood boiling was the fact that they were standing right in front of her class and all Asami wanted to do was get into her class.
"Hey, freshies can you guys move? some of us are trying to get to class" Asami crossed her arms and just stared them down till they rolled their eyes and moved out of her way, Asami just rolled her eyes at them and made her way into her class.
Asami's class went by and everything was already so boring, she already knew all of the stuff her teachers were talking about and the only reason she actually came to school was for the experiences, Asami could've skipped grades and everything but she didn't want to leave Korra all alone. While thinking of Korra her phone buzzed silently in the pocket of her jacket.
*1 text message from Korra*
Asami wasted no time opening her phone and reading Korra's message
Korra: Hey salami, how's school going?
Asami: oh you know the usual, freshman being annoying and already knowing everything the teachers are teaching. how's training and school stuff for you?
Korra: I had practiced earlier this morning and now I have to do school work until 3, I wish you were here to help me :(
Asami: LOL I'll help you later, I promise
With that Asami slipped her phone back into her pocket and smiled to herself.
Her day went by how it normally would just without Korra, she turned down the guys who were trying to hit on her, ate lunch with Opal, Wing, and Wei, the freshman started to learn how to not crowd the hallways. Asami's day went how she'd expected, just without her best friend cracking jokes or getting into a fight with a guy that stared at Asami too long, thinking of Korra made her sad, and not knowing if Korra even liked her back was really making her sad.
*line break*
After school had ended Asami headed to her car, hoping to avoid the traffic that was about to happen. But of course, nothing went her way because it started down pouring making the traffic even worse than before. Asami was about to make her way out of the school parking lot when out of nowhere a hooded figure went running across the street making Asami press down are her brakes, just inches from hitting them.
"Yo what the hell, you almost hit me!" the hooded figure yells at Asami before hitting the hood of her car, and nothing made Asami madder than someone touching her car. Asami's blood was now boiling and she stepped out of the car not caring that it was raining.
"Do Not TOuch my car!" her face flushed with anger before the person could argue with her they noticed who she was and put the pieces together
"wait my bad are you, Asami Sato?"
Asami huffed before answering
"Yes and what about it?"
"I'm sorry about your car, I didn't know who you were" the person then removed their hood revealing who they were
"you might not know me but I'm Mako" he held out his hand for Asami
Asami looked at his hand and ignored it
"I know who you are, you're that basketball player or whatever"
Mako smiled and put his hands back at his sides
"yep that's me" pride evident in his voice before continuing "let me make up hitting your car, let's go to the Jasmine Dragon, my treat"
Asami accepted of course, but only because the Jasmine dragon is her favorite place but also because this guy might be able to take her mind off Korra.
