School Ties

Ch 8

Korra struggled in her first class. Everything the teacher was blabbing about seemed extremely complicated. Korra looked down at her book and everything just became jumbled. Finally, the bell rang and the Alpha eagerly made her way to History.

Korra saw Asami when she walked in. She smiled at her. Nothing. Asami just kept looking forward at the black board. She didn't acknowledge the Alpha.

Korra sat at her desk. She couldn't shake the feeling that there is something terribly wrong. Was Asami mad at her? No, She couldn't be, not after last night.

Korra can't figure out why she's being ignored by the Omega. It felt like someone reached into her gut and began twisting. Nothing else existed, but Asami.

Once again, the teacher was speaking gibberish that Korra could not focus on. Words on the blackboard seemed to be popping out and spinning towards her.

The bell indicating that class was over rang. Korra immediately gathered her things and headed towards the Omega.

"Asami, hi." She said with a smile.

Asami just kept gathering her books. Her shoulder facing the Alpha.

Korra placed her hand on the Omega's shoulder,"Asami, are you ok? Did... did I do something wrong?"

Asami shrugged Korra's hand off.

Korra moved in front of the Omega, "Talk to me."

Asami's green eyes made contact, "Korra, This..this isn't going to work out."

"But, but why?" Korra held her ground.

"You're too ashamed of me." Asami pushed her glasses up from the bottom of her nose.
"We will never be in the same cliques, and frankly I'm.. I'm too smart for this... for you."

Asami grabbed her things and began walking out the door.

Korra grabbed her hand. Asami turned and looked at her.

"No, I want this." Her blue eyes pleading the Omega to surrender to the Alpha.

"Ok, fine... whatever." Was all the Omega said.

Korra led the Omega into the hallway, hand in hand.

When they entered the hallway; all the other students stood there. All their eyes were on the couple.

All of a sudden they all burst into laughter. Pointing their fingers, their dark eyes burning into Korra.

Korra, She's a freak of nature!!!

She doesn't belong!!

We'll Never accept her!!!

She'll always be an outsider!!! You can join her!!

If you're with her, then we don't like you too, loser.

The geek and the freak!!

Asami immediately let go of the Alpha's hand. "You made this worst than it already is on me. I don't need this. And I Don't need you!" She walked away into the dark crowd.

Everyone laughs harder. Still pointing at the Alpha.

Opal walks up to Korra. "Wow, blown off by a dork. Yeah, we can't be friends anymore." She walks away, followed by Mako and Bolin. Both brothers shaking their head.

Kuvira pushes the Alpha down. "I'm the Team Captain now. Nobody will follow you anymore."

Korra can't seem to drown out the laughter in the hallway. Faces of other students she doesn't know guffawing and teasing her. She shuts her eyes and covers her ears. But the noise won't drown out.
