"For the last time, Opal!" Korra shouted at the top of her lungs, "I'm not in love with MAKO!"

The entire library stopped what they were doing and looked at the aggravated teenager.

"SHH!" One of the librarians shushed Korra almost immediately, then went back to shelving books.

"Are you sure?" Opal asked, raising her eyebrows, "All the signs are there."

"I'm not having this conversation with you right now," Korra whispered, as she got up and walked out of the large wooden library.

"Ohh, Korra come-"

"Nope," Korra said, sealing her lips up tight, "I went in there to tutor you on Water Tribe history, not to gossip with you about my non-existent sex-life."

"Oh come on," Opal said, "We're in high school, can't you relax a little?"

Korra shot her younger friend one of her best death glares.

"Mako would probably like you if you were a little more relaxed," Opal smiled.

"Please stop trying to educate me on a topic that you know nothing about!" Korra said as they walked towards the Sokka Science Building.

"Well," Opal said, elongating the sound of the last letter, "I do have a boyfriend, and you don't."

"Who says I want a boyfriend?" Korra spat at her best friend.

"What? You're telling me that you're prepared to live alone for the rest of your life?" Opal asked.

"That's not-," The door opened as Korra and Opal approached it, "Oh, Hey Mako, how are you doing?" She noticed Asami and Bolin were there too, "You know, I just realized I have to be somewhere right now. See ya guys."

"So" Asami said, "She's still really awkward around me."

"It's been getting worse," Bolin comments, "It used to be fine, but now that you and Mako are," he made some gestures with his hands, "'going steady' she seems really distant."

"I don't know if I'd say that," Mako said, "She's been getting really chummy with Kuvira lately."

"I don't like her," Asami said, and everybody turned to face her, "What it's true. She creeps me and I think she's a bad influence on Korra."

Everybody then turned to Opal, who knew Kuvira better than anybody else.

"I've never been a huge fan of her, but I wouldn't go as far as a bad influence." Opal said.

"I don't know," Asami said, "It's just something about her that I don't like." She trailed off.

"She is a little bit mean," Bolin said, "She was never nice to me, I overheard her say to Bataar Jr. that I was 'too childish for Opal.'"

"Well don't worry, Bo," Opal kisses him on the cheek, "That's not for her to decide."

"Guys," Mako cut into the conversation, "Let's stop shitting on Kuvira, if Korra's happy hanging out with her, then I'm happy she's found a friend, and you should be too."
