Hey! Thanks for deciding to read my story.

So this is a Modern!AU of Zutara, from Avatar : The Last Airbender.

It will include other ships, but they will be minor to the story.

It is the first time I write any Fanfiction, so if you have any advice, don't hesitate to tell me!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

KATARA's POV

The alarm went off that morning and Katara couldn't remember why she had to be up that early in the morning. When she picked up her phone, she saw the date and remembered. It was the first day of school.

She got out of bed and picked up the clothes she was going to wear that day. Then, she took her mother's necklace and put it on. When she was ready, she got out of her room. She passed by her brother's room, which had the door open, and saw him still in bed and asleep. She entered the room and opened the curtains, the sun hitted him in the face and he was starting to wake up.

"Come on, Sokka!" she started to say "We're going to be late!"

"Shoo! Go away! More. Sleep. Please." Sokka answered, in a tired voice.

"No. No more sleep." She took the sheets and threw them to the floor. "Get up now."

"Ugh… Okay. Don't kill me." He emitted when he was starting to get up.

Katara left the room laughing, her brother always made her laugh. She went down the stairs, went to the kitchen and started to make coffee for both of them. Then, Sokka entered the kitchen and smiled at her.

"Good morning, grumpy cat." she greeted him with a smile on her face.

"Good morning, Miss let's-interrumpt-my-brother's-beauty-sleep." he answered jokingly.

She laughed at that and started to serve the coffee when she saw it was ready.

"Hey, so, where's dad? Did he leave early to work again?" Sokka asked, with a hand on the back of his head.

"He's a cop, Sokka. It's either that or he never came home last night because he had a night shift." She replied, giving him his cup of coffee.

He took a sip of it and then nodded. The awkard silence always happened whenever they talk about their parents. Luckily, they changed the subject.

"So, are you going to try out for football today?" Katara asked.

"Well, no. Tryouts are next week, but I am going to train." he explained happily. "What about you? What are you going to do today?"

"Well, I'm meeting Suki at my locker when I arrive. She wants me to try out for cheerleading so that she can have a cheerleader friend that can be with her whenever she has any soccer game." just when she finished the sentence, she realised that she shouldn't have brought Suki up in the conversation. Sokka had a thing for Suki, and Suki had a thing for Sokka.

They probably would be dating if it wasn't for Yue, Sokka's other thing. It was kind of a love triangle, and kind of anoying for Katara, since Sokka could not choose.

"Suki, huh?" Katara looked at him with a raised eyebrow after he said that, and he quickly started talking to try to avoid that look. "No, it's not like- I didn't mean- Anyway… Why would you try out for cheerleading? You're not the cheerleader type."

"That's what I told her, but she didn't listen." she took her phone and looked at the time. "We should get going if we want to arrive on time. "

Both finished their coffees and picked up their school bags. Sokka took the car keys and gave Katara her house keys. They got out of the house and went to the car. Sokka usually drives, so he got in the driver's seat.

"So, are you going to tell Suki that you are not trying out for it or not?" Sokka asked

"I'm going to tell her now, I hope she doesn't get angry." Katara answered

"Oh, please, it's Suki. She's not going to get angry for that." Sokka said, trying to defend her choice. "One question, tho… Why did Suki want you to try out? The Kyoshi Warriors are not in the school's Soccer League."

Katara looked at him, surprised he didn't know.

"She didn't tell you? She's trying to have the team on the League. I think the school accepted the request, those girls are amazing at soccer." she explained to him.

"Yes, they are. Especially Suki." Katara thought that he probably didn't even realise he said that out loud.

They arrived on time at school. When Sokka found a parking spot, they got out of the car and entered the building.

"See you later, little sister. I have to meet with the coach to talk about the tryouts" he stated before he left.

Katara started walking towards her locker where Suki was waiting for her.

"Hey, Suki" Katara said smiling

"Where were you? I've been here for almost 15 minutes!" she asked her

"Sorry, Sokka overslept. I hope you didn't get wrinckles on those 15 minutes…" Katara replied jokingly with sarcasm.

"Oh, alright. I forgive you" Suki laughed and then got back to the point of the meeting "I've got great news. The Kyoshi Warriors have been accepted on the school's Soccer League!" she was very excited.

"Oh my God! That is awesome Suki!" Katara hugged her, and then she remembered about the tryouts. "About that…"

Katara started opening her locker, she didn't know why she felt bad about that, she would understand.

"I'm not trying out for the cheerleading team." Those words came bursting out of her mouth.

"Why not? Don't you wanna cheer for me on the games?" Suki asked

"It's not that. I'll still go to your games, I'll probably go with Toph, but right now I don't want to focus on a cheerleading team. You know… I have to focus on dancing right now, and if I got in, it'll probably distract me." she explained, hoping she'll understand. Luckily for her, Suki did not really care much for the cheer team.

"It's alright." Suki agreed with a smile on her face "By the way, did you hear the rumor?"

"No, I didn't get my weekly e-mail." Katara answered sarcastically.

"Ha, ha. Okay, do you remember Zuko?"

"Spoiled-rich-bitch Azula's brother?"

Katara started to think of him, what happened to him? The last time she heard of him was one or two years ago, when his father sent him to a boarding school without further notice.

"That one."

"Yes, I remember. Why do you ask?"

"Well, apparently he's back from that boarding school. Someone saw him last week." Suki started to say

"He's back?" she remarked surprised

"Aha, but that's not all of the story" Suki continued "The person who saw him says that he has a scar."

"A scar?"

"A burn scar. On his face. They say that someone burned his face"

"Oh my God. That sounds terrible." Katara stuttered, worried.

"People say that maybe Azula did it, or maybe his father." Suki told her.

"Oh, come on Suki. That family is known to be mean, and even evil. But burn his own son's face, that's too much."

Katara did not know Zuko that well, she did know his sister Azula. She was your tipical High School mean girl, and Zuko was known to be trouble, but he never seemed that bad to Katara. He was kind of misterious, the last time she saw him. She wondered if now he would be the same.

"Speak of the Devil…" Suki added, while nodding towards the door.

Azula and both of her minions, Mai and Ty Lee, entered the building followed by Zuko. When Zuko was walking he was looking to the floor, the people started whispering. Katara saw why when he passed by her, he had a scar on the left side of his face. Suddenly, he looked up, and Katara stared at him. He turned his head and looked at Katara, straight to her eyes. She looked at him, and she could feel the way he felt, somehow. She saw pain on his eyes, and people whispering everywhere he goes didn't make it easier. He kept walking, and she looked at Suki again.

"Were you just gazing into Zuko's eyes?" Suki teased, while raising her eyebrows

"No, I wasn't" Katara denied quickly

"Yeah, you were."

"No, I wasn't. "

"Okay, whatever you say." Suki changed the subject. "So, after practise I'm meeting with Toph to have a milkshake. Do you want to come?"

"Um… I've got dance practise after school today, but I can meet with you guys after that." Katara told her, as the school bell rang.

"Perfect! Then I'll see you later." Suki confirmed "I've gotta run, I've got Bio at first period"

"See you later, Suki"

Katara started walking towards her first class of the school year, which was History. As she was walking, she could only think of one thing. She wondered what happened to Zuko, and why, of all the people in that hallway, Zuko looked at her.
