(In Kai's driveway-Kai)

Kai sighed as they rolled up into his driveway, he looked up at the small two-story house, it was small, but it was his new home, growing up in the orphanage, he never really had a place to call home.

Kai, Mako, and Bolin stepped out of the car, Mako and Bolin said goodbye and walked inside. Kai stayed and stood there for a moment, "Well, bye Jinora, see you tomorrow." Kai said awkwardly, then turned around and started walking towards the front steps.

"Kai, wait!" Jinora said quickly as she airbended herself to him, as she put her arms around him, he froze then slowly returned the hug. "Bye," Jinora whispered as she broke off and put her hands on his shoulders, "See you tomorrow." She smiled then jumped into the air.

"BYE!" Kai yelled after her as she drove off, holy crap, what just happened, I like, like Jinora, does she have a crush on me too? Kai smiled to himself as he walked through the front steps.

"JESUS CHRIST! YOU DO LIKE HER!!!" Bolin ambushed him with a tackle, "I think she likes you back, did you see her blush around you, woo-hoo!" Bolin hollered.

Kai punched him, "Shut up." He said slowly.

"But how can I, you must like each other!" Bolin said wide-eyed, Kai was silent for a moment.

"Do you," Kai paused, "Do you really think she likes me?" Kai stared up at Bolin with hopeful eyes.

"I think so Lil' bro." Said Bolin smiling, Kai smiled back.

"I actually have a lot of homework, so I gotta go, thanks for the support."

"Your welcome little brother!" Bolin called as Kai ran upstairs. Once Kai was upstairs, he heard his phone chime he clicked on it was Jinora, he stopped at the end of her name, there was a small yellow heart, he smiled and read the text, Can I meet you before school tomorrow at the bus stop? Why? it didn't matter, he wanted to see her as soon as possible, he tested back, Sure, I'll see you then 😛, cya😜. Kai clicked his phone off and plugged it in by his bed. When he was done with most of his work, he got ready for bed, he stared at himself in the mirror. Maybe, just maybe, Jinora liked him back, He smiled.

(Next Morning-Bus Stop-Jinora)

Where was he? Jinora worried, maybe I'm just too early, that's probably it. As if right on cue, she saw Kai jogging towards her, his backpack bouncing up and down, she smiled.

"There you are." Jinora said as he sat down next to her, "I was starting to think you weren't coming!"

"Oh please, the bus won't be here for another..." Kai took his phone out of his pocket and looked at the time, "10 minutes, besides, Bolin held me back for a 'Brother talk'" Kai made quotations in the air with his fingers. Jinora nodded, "Btw, why'd you want me to come early?"

"I just wanted to talk, and to get out of the house early, yah know." Kai nodded, "So how you thinking about the festival, it should have food and games and stuff."

Kai smiled, "Yeah, it should be really fun, btw, how cold is it there?" Jinora laughed, Kai quirked his eyebrow, aww, that's so cute, "What is it? What's so funny?"

"It's freezing there! Sorry for laughing so much, it's just really ironic." Jinora said once she stopped laughing.

"Yeah, I guess so." Agreed Kai, "Oh look, there's the bus." Said Kai pointing to the big yellow vehicle on the end of the street.

"Oh yeah, there that is, you wanna sit together again?" Jinora said smoothly.

Kai smiled, "Yeah, that'd be great, awesome." Jinora grinned back.

(2 weeks later-Jinora) Big time jump, I know, whatever

"Yah know Jinora, you should just tell Kai that you like him, I know you may think it's too early, but I think he likes you too," Korra counseled Jinora.

"But what if he doesn't like me too, I mean like, like me back?" Said Jinora, "I mean, I've only known him for about two weeks, and we're leaving for the festival tomorrow! What if he says he doesn't like me, that will totally ruin the trip!"

"Jinora chill, first off; you're making me nervous, and second; I'm pretty sure he likes, you're super nice and smart, anyone could like you." Jinora smiled as Korra continued, "And besides, just wait for the right moment, tell him sometime when you two are alone, and it feels right, alright?"

Jinora nodded, "Yeah ok, that's sounds good," Jinora said nodding, "You're a great friend Korra," Jinora hugged the older girl, "And Korra?"

"Yeah?"

Jinora looked down, "Do you really think he likes me?"

Voila! Shortish chapter, btw sorry the first one was so long.
