Dangerous

Chapter 3

I think I can manage both this story and Jealous at once. After all, chapter two wasn't even supposed to be up yet! But we'll see down the line. Until then, here's chapter three!

Oh, and fair warning, the story might change ratings later on.

I liked gym class. I was a pretty good athlete that could put most of those guys to shame. At least, I was. Korra put everyone to shame that was in the gym. She replaced her hood with a hat that she wore backwards. At first, I felt bad for her because she started school on a day we had to do the pacer test. That faded rapidly. The minute the track said start, she was already at the other end of the gym. I didn't even see her move. She just found more ways to surprise me. I still wasn't fully recovered from what happened in the stairwell.

I had to quit around thirty. I was lightheaded and my breathing was too shallow for me to handle. I sat against the wall with my knees pulled up to my chest. Korra was barely breaking a sweat. Her brow was creased in concentration and I could tell her breathing was in even intervals. When they finally cut off the CD at sixty-two, Korra was the only one standing. She stretched her arms up, heading my way. I guess I must've looked pretty funny, because she laughed when she reached me.

"What?" she said, dropping her arms. "What did I do?"

"How the hell did you do that?" I asked, standing.

"Do what?" Korra said.

"Run that many laps." I said.

"You mean no one else has ever done that?" Korra was so cute when she was confused. She shrugged. "I don't know, I guess my waterbending training all those years has paid off."

"That must've been some intense training." I said.

"Yeah." she said, though something told me there was more than she was telling.

"Alright, class, we're taking this to the field!" the teacher said as she walked past us with a box in her hands.

"What are we playing out there, teach?" someone asked.

"Dodgeball." the teacher replied, grinning wickedly.

There was a large mix of cheers and groans, one of the groans being mine. I hated dodgeball because a lot of the benders in our class would cheat and use their element to help their team win. I had a burned T-shirt to prove it.

"I don't want to hear your whining!" the teacher said as we flowed through the door outside. "We're playing at that's it. I'll be picking captains and teams." Her gaze swept the cluster of us, settling on Akira and Katsumi. She pointed at them. "You two, up here."

They laughed as they pushed past everyone to get to the front. They were best friends, but oh, so competitive.

"Okay, Akira, you pick first." the teacher said.

"I call dibs on the new girl." Akira said, pointing at Korra.

Korra picked her head up and everyone turned to look at her. She didn't waver under the weight of it though. She walked past everyone to stand behind Akira, who seemed proud of herself. I just prayed that I ended up on the same team.
