Zuko's POV

"Dude I don't know why you won't go to the bar with me." Jet my colleague and friend says.

"I'm not going with you. If I remember correctly the last time I went you got kicked out for assaulting the woman bartender." I say walking to my classroom.

"That was 2 months ago. This is about Mai isn't it?" He asks.

"It isn't and I'm not having this conversation with you." I say walking into my classroom and closing the door in Jet's face.

Sighing I place my briefcase on my desk, open it up and take out my papers for my English class. After my books and papers are sorted I open the door to my classroom and prepare for the freshman to come in. Today is the first day of college for the students and me. Today is my first day teaching English. I graduated High school when I was 16 and went to this college, Ba Sing Sei University, and they hired me immediately after I graduated.

The students begin filing in to my classroom. All of them look forlorn and tired and even some of the guys look drunk but that's to be expected.I know how much the kids party on this campus before classes start.I also heard of a few parties going on last night. After all of the students are in I get up to close the door when a girl appears in the doorway. Suddenly, it felt like time had stopped and there was on one in the room but us.

She was at most 5'7" with dark brown skin like caramel. Her dark brown hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of chocolate. Her blue eyes are vibrant and there's a twinkle of kindness in them. She's wearing a dark blue jean skirt that reaches her knees and a dark blue long sleeved shirt with blue sandals on her feet. Her legs look like they go on for miles. I became so caught up in examining her appearance that I didn't hear her question.

"Excuse me is this Mr. Sozin's English class?" This beautiful mysterious woman asks.

Snapping out of my trance I answer.

"Yes it is please take a seat." I say.

"Thank you." She says walking past me brushing her elbow against my arm by accident and taking a seat.

Closing the door I regain my composure and take my seat at my desk and check attendance. It's not really to see who's here and who's not it's more to get to know the students names.

"Lina Makoru." I say.

"Here." Says a girl with short black hair.

"Kuro Tamora." I say.

"Here." Says a boy who has long brown hair reaching to his shoulders.

"Katara Makori." I say looking for person.

"Here." A person says and raises there home.

Looking closer I realize it's the same woman that had stolen my attention. Nodding my head I hide a secret smirk. Katara it fits her perfectly. Suddenly, this class doesn't seem so bad.

Authors note: Let me know if you want more. Oh, and the last names mean nothing really I just made them up except for Zuko's. I will explain things about Mai and Zuko later but I can't tell you that now because it's part of the story. Some of the other characters I'll put in next chapter. Please Review and tell me what you think!
