The boy walks into the building, amazed at how many people occupied this huge place. It was definitely much bigger and more spacious than the temple he grew up in. He walks down the hallway taking in all of the amazing sights that befell him. The lockers, bathrooms as the people there; it's quite the culture shock to see people of different races in one area. But, the shock is to be expected when someone was never to leave the area they were born in. The boy continues to walk until he runs into something that feels like a brick wall.

"Oh, s-sorry about that! I wasn't paying attention." The boy bows his head to apologize.

The person he ran into turns around revealing his light toned skin with a huge red burn scar covering a good portion of his left eye and some of his face. He seemed bald but he had a ponytail falling short of reaching his neck. The guy with the scar grabs the boy who bumped into him and pulls him in close.

"Watch where you're going next time, stupid nomad." He then throws the kid to the ground before he turns around and walks away.

Everyone in the hallway fell silent, making sure to move out of the guy with a scar's way as he walked away. The boy doesn't know what he did wrong. He apologized for his mistake like he was taught to do so. His first impression on outsiders: terrifying. He hoped that he'd never meet that guy again.

"Pfft, what a blockhead." A light but gruff voice said.

A girl, with medium black hair and slight hazy green eyes stands in front of him with her hand extended to him. Not being a person to turn down help he takes her hand and stands up. Now that he's on his two feet he notices that he is significantly taller than her by at least five inches.

"Thank you, uh.."

"Toph. Toph Beifong. Nice to meetcha!"

She extended her arm once again but he was already standing. He gives her a puzzled look for he didn't know what she wanted him to do. She sighs and grabs his right arm and connects his hand with her hand to shake it up and down. The boy blushes from having contact with her a second time. He's never felt the skin of a woman, it's very soft and a lot more smooth than any of the monks at the temple.

"Aang. My name is Aang."

"Aang? Just Aang? No last name?"

"The monks at the temple didn't give me one."

"I see. Not the first time I've seen someone wit- Wait. You came from a temple?"

Aang nodded at the confused girl.

"Oh, this is rich!" She began, "You're not one of those people who never ventured away from the temple, are you?"

Once again, Aang nodded this time a bit more shamefully. Toph threw her arm around Aang and chuckled a bit.

"Well, don't you worry about a thing! Here at Avatar High everyone is treated like family! At least until your team is chosen, you find out you're truly enemies then you're stuck with whoever you're stuck with. But, hey! Other than that, we're one big happy family!"

Aang looked at the girl with a confused look. He had no idea what she was talking about. But, he also didn't know that while they were talking she was walking him to the principal's office. Aang hasn't gotten his schedule yet so he definitely didn't know where he was going. Toph let go of his shoulder as they reach the office and she turned around and waved telling him 'good luck'.

"Wait, how did you know I was new?" Aang asked loud enough for her to hear.

Toph turned around and kept walking, "You're out of uniform!" she said with a smile on her face before turning back around and walking away.

Now that she mentions it he has noticed that her shirt was a leaf green color along with some sort of symbol stitched into the shirt. He didn't pay too much attention to the shirt to know exactly what it was.

Aang sighs. He wonders if he made the right decision leaving his home to join the rest of the world. Things weren't bad for him at the temple but after a while they just got stale. Aang was tired of not knowing what else the world had in store for him. He asked monk Gyatso if he could leave the temple and Gyatso figured Aang was at that age where he could make decisions for himself. Monk Gyatso granted Aang's wish but on one condition. Aang was to attend and complete high school. At the time it seemed simple enough but Aang had no idea what he was getting himself into.

Aang had approached the door that had 'Roku' engraved into the door. He nervously gulps and knocks on the door slightly. It definitely wasn't loud enough for anyone to hear. He knocked again but this time door opens as he knocks.

"Hello, young man."
