Aang was tossed about in the crowd. Fighting his way to his newly assigned locker proved harder then it should have. He slammed into a locker and winced at the pain stabbing his shoulder. Before he could recover someone hit his head, hard. He stumbled forward and slipped. Whacking his head against another locker and hit the ground with a thump. He could see the stars falling. Well this is just brilliant, he thought before his vision was obscured by darkness.
Aang felt his head being prodded. "Stop it." He heard a female voice say. Then he realised someone's arms were around him protecting him from the poking. With great effort he pulled his eyelids open. He gasped inwardly. The girl had the most beautiful blue eyes. They danced like shimmering waters as her tan face broke into a friendly smile. His eyes were half open, and he blinked to check if he was dreaming.
"I need to ask you something." He whispered, blinking slowly between breaths.
"What?" She inquired leaning forward.
"Please come closer."
"What is it?" She whispered softly.
"Will you go tray skating with me?" Aang said with a huge goofy smile.
"Um…Ok." She said a little taken aback. Aang sat up and looked around. He found he was on a bed in the infirmary.
"What's going on here?" He asked running a hand through his brown hair.
"You tell us." A boy said from across the room. "We found you unconscious in the hall." Aang mentally slapped himself. It hadn't even been his first lesson and he was already in the infirmary. Then his phone rang. He grabbed it off the side desk.
"Woof!" A bark sounded from the phone.
"Appa?" Aang questioned, and sighed. "How'd you get the phone, again?"
"Woof, woof!" There was a rustling and some interference. Before someone spoke again. "Sorry Aang." Gyatso's voice said
"No worries." Aang shrugged.
"How are you? I phoned the school they said you'd been taken to the infirmary."
"I'm Ok just got knocked out I think."
"Ok, is there anyone I can speak to?"
"Err…" Aang looked at the boy and the girl. The girl picked up on it and motioned for the phone. Aang handed it to her.
"Um…Hello?"
"Hello, I'm Gyatso, Aang's Guardian."
"Oh, Ok. I'm Katara. My brother and I found Aang in the hall and took him to the infirmary."
"Thank you. He is such a clutz."
Katara laughed, "Don't mention it."
"Appa, sit! Sorry. Thank you again I have to take Appa for a walk."
"Ok, Bye."
"Bye." Katara hung up and handed the phone back to Aang who stuffed it in his pocket.
"Thanks, what time is it?"
"Break Time" The girl said
"WHAT!" Aang physically slapped himself this time. "I can't believe I got knocked out on my first day and slept through two lessons!"
Katara patted his back "Don't worry about it. I'm Katara and this is my brother Sokka." Sokka walked up to Aang.
"You better not lay one hand on my sister or-"
"No worries! Hands secured firmly in pockets." Aang said showing him.
"Sokka, do you always have to say that?" Sokka nodded. Katara rolled her eyes. "Forget it. Come on Aang you'll need to meet everyone." She dragged him up and out of the door.
Pretty short but it'll get there. What do you think so far? Reviews will be coveted and worshipped! Thank you!
