Katara's Point of View
I peeked inside my grandmother's room. She's still sleeping—and snoring too. I love Gran-Gran, very much. But all she really does nowadays is sleep. She's sleeping before I go to school and napping when I come back. And I'm always busy with homework at night. So I don't talk to her a lot.
I threw the bag over my shoulder and glanced at the clock. 8:22, it read. "Crap," I muttered my breath. I was going to be late.
When I got to school, my teacher, Mr. Pakku was not happy at me. "Katara, you're late! Take your seat!" I walked over to my regular seat beside Sokka. However, I noticed that there was an empty seat to my left between me and a girl named Star. I didn't really like Star, to be honest. She was kind of snooty.
"Now that we're all here," Pakku said. "I have an announcement to make. We have a new student with us today. His name is Aang Pashi. Everyone, please be nice to him."
A boy walked into the room, he looked kind of shy. Well, he is pretty cute, I thought to myself. Wait, what?
"Take the seat beside the girl in blue," Pakku instructed, pointing at me.
And then I realized that the extra seat between me and Star was for him. Oh great, he's sitting next to me. And I've got this tiny little crush on him. Talk about awkward.
"Hi, I'm Aang," he whispered.
"I'm Katara." I smiled.
And that was all that was said during first period.
