Korra looked at the clock impatiently for what she figured was the hundredth time. She had kept track at first, but after about twenty times, and only ten minutes, she gave up counting. Focusing on anything else was too hard, though. No matter how much she willed it, time would not move any faster for her. She tapped her feet under her desk, squirming so much that some of the other students in class were eyeing her with odd glances.

She looked at the clock again. Finally, just two more minutes until the final bell rang. Her math teacher was going over their homework assignment on the white board. Korra quickly jotted down the page and problem numbers in her planer and groaned looking down at all the work she had to do. She hated that none of her teachers seemed to understand that all the students had other things to do besides homework. In her case it was sports, namely football, and today was finally the first real practice of the season. The first couple months of practice the team had been doing strength and agility training, but now they were going to get to put on their pads and actually play. Korra's heart pounded with anticipation.

The bell rang and Korra threw her books and planner unceremoniously into her bag. She bolted for the door while still trying to zip up her bag. She saw her math teacher give her an evil eye. Her quick escape was not going to win her any points with Mrs. Clark, especially since she was only pulling a C in the class. Korra pulled her thoughts away from her grades. She would deal with that situation later. Right now, the only thing that matter to her was getting out to the field as fast as she could and start passing the ball around with Mako. She ran straight to the girls locker rooms without stopping. Though, no one really tried to stop her, anyone who knew her at all knew that stopping her today would have been impossible. Even though she was running at full speed through the hall, she knew she wouldn't be the first one out on the field since the math classrooms were at the completely opposite end of the school from the sports facilities.

When she reached the locker room she threw open the door, not bothering to close it behind her in her excitement. A few girls from the cheerleading squad yelled at her angrily and covered themselves as they were in full view of anyone who happened to pass by the door. Korra spun around and back tracked, "sorry," she said sheepishly as she closed the door and jogged the rest of the way to her locker. She kicked off her shoes without even untying them and pulled off her socks. She nearly tore off her shorts and shirt and left everything lying in a messy pile at her feet. She turned to her locker in just her bra and underwear and began fiddling with the lock. She groaned in frustration. She was always very bad at opening combination locks, but the school wouldn't allow anything but their rented locks on the lockers, just in case they need to get into them for something. Korra thought locker checks were a ridiculous violation of her rights. They were students, but they were still people who deserved some privacy. "Arg!" She yelled in exasperation after she failed at opening the lock on her third attempt.

"Maybe you should have opened your locker before you took all your cloths off." Korra didn't recognize the voice and turned her head to see a tall dark haired Asian girl standing behind her.

"All of my cloths aren't off," she corrected the girl and returned her focus to the combination lock blushing. The girl behind her was also only in her bra and underwear. Normally something like seeing another girl half naked wouldn't bother her, she had been playing sports all her life and was use to seeing others in varying states of undress. But there was something about this girl, and Korra couldn't put her finger on it. She was beautiful, but Korra thought most girls had beautiful bodies. That was no reason for her to get into a tizzy.

"Do you need some help?" The girl asked sweetly, "I looks like you are having some trouble there." She leaned in closer and pointed at the lock.

"Uhhh," Korra found herself at a loss for words. The girl took matters into her own hands and gently removed Korra's hand from the lock. "Sure," she finally said after it was too late to give her permission.

"What's your combination?" She asked. Korra looked at her skeptically as she knew nothing about this girl, "I can't exactly help you unless you tell me." Korra felt her cheeks redden again. Of course she would need the combination.

"7-25-18."

"Thanks," said the girl. She turned the combination dial back and forth a few times and the lock popped opened. "There you go," she said turning around and putting her hands on her hips. She extended her hand, "I'm Asami, by the way."

"Korra," she said grasping Asami's hand and shaking it tentatively. Korra's heart skipped at beat at the contact with the other girl.

"I know who you are," she said, "you are 'The Miracle of North Republic City High.' You lead the freshman team here to an undefeated season last year. That was really impressive." Now Korra felt really bad. This girl knew exactly who she was, granted she was kind of like a local celebrity, but she still felt bad for having no idea about who Asami was. Still, Korra was filled with pride that her reputation as "The Miracle" proceeded her.

"Oh," she said trying to not be too boastful, "yeah, that's me." She smiled a big goofy smile making the other girl laugh. "Are you new here? There aren't too many people who come around the locker room that I don't know."

"I'm not so new," said Asami, "I transfered into this school at the beginning of the year. I went to East Republic High for my freshman and sophomore year, but the math and engineering class are much better here." Korra was shocked that she hadn't noticed Asami in the two months that she had been attending North Republic High. Although, she was always singularly focused on football, so noticing one new girl in such a large school would have been pretty impressive.

"Wow! Smart and beautiful," Korra said the first thing that came to her mind, but instantly regretted it. She never said things like that. She didn't know what had come over her.

"Are you flirting with me?" Asami asked. She smiled playfully.

"No, no!" Korra yelled louder than she had intended. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend. It's just I'm not myself today and I'm a little side tracked and-"

"It's okay," Asami laughed and cut her off, "I'm flattered Korra. You're very sweet."

"Asami?" A voice rang through the locker room before Korra could respond. Both girls turned to the sound of the voice as another girl with short brown hair wearing very short black shorts and a tight t-shirt with the blue, white, and grey logo of the North Republic City High Cheerleading Squad on the front came around the corner.

"Opal!" Asami greeted the girl with a hug.

"Opal?" Korra said questioningly.

"Hi Asami, oh, hi Korra, shouldn't you already be out on the field?"

"Yeah," said Korra scratching her head, "I was having trouble with my lock..."

"Again?" said Opal. "Korra, it's not that hard."

"It's okay," said Asami, "I helped her out." Both of the other girls had a good laugh at Korra's expense.

"Whatever," Korra said as she turned her back to them and unhooked her bra. She grabbed her sports bra and slipped it on. She started to pulled her padded pants and shoulder pads out of her locker, as well as her red quarter back jersey, "I'll see you on the field, Opal."

"See you Korra," Opal said heading for the door, "hurry up and finish changing, Asami." Korra glanced back at Asami.

"You're on the cheerleading squad?"

"Yup," Asami said going back around the corner to her own locker. She yelled over, "see you on the field, Miracle."
