Hey Everybody! you might recongize this story,and i said i would repost it after i have time. My sister decided to help me with it so enjoy! i don't own this and read and review please!

Today was the first day at her new school. The last school she attended, they didn't even teach the students there anything. This year, she decided to transfer to the private school her brother has been going to for the past three years. Their grandmother decided to hold her brother back another year so they would graduate the same year. She slowly drug herself out of bed to prepare for the day. Usually she woke up really early in the morning's to go for her morning jog. She changed out of her pajamas quickly, and opted for a tank top and a pair of Nike shorts. She slowly crept down the stairs so she wouldn't wake her brother and grandmother up.

The nearly the next hose, all she heard was the pounding of the blood in her head and the crunch of the ground under feet. Suddenly she heard her phone vibrate and stopped to see who texted her this early in the morning. She unlocked her phone and glanced at the name and chuckled.

Katara, get to my house ASAP after your run –Toph

Katara smiled at the text and jogged back to her house to clean up for school. She opted for a long hot shower, which helped sooth her sore muscles. She got dressed quickly and headed downstairs to make breakfast for Sokka and her grandmother. In less than an hour she had two plates of steaming hot pancakes, eggs, and bacon sitting out for her brother and her grandmother.

"Good Morning Sokka," Sokka groaned and wrapped himself tighter in the blanket around him.

"You took longer this morning big brother," Katara raised an eyebrow as his face fell into his plate. Sokka groaned and Katara walked over to him, pulling his head out of the food.

"Next time when you come down you'll be getting slapped with a waterwhip, especially if you fall asleep in your food again," Katara scowled and glared at her older brother. As soon as she saw Sokka eating his food instead of sleeping in it, she slipped her jacket on, grabbed her things for school, and walked out the door.

"I'm going to Toph's house!" Sokka nodded his head and continued to eat his breakfast in silence.

Toph's house wasn't very far from her, so she normally went to school with her. She walked a few blocks and Toph's house appeared into her view. It was nearly six in the morning and Toph's lights where already on, none of the other's were on though. Katara tapped on her bedroom window slightly, as to let Toph know that she was there.

"Katara!" Toph exclaimed, a look of relief passing through her features.

"I thought you might not make here yet," Katara rolled her eyes and walked through the front door, and entered Toph's room.

"Why would you think that?" Toph shrugged.

"You didn't text me back til late, you normally get back to me real quickly," Katara nodded her head thoughtfully.

"So why did I have to come and rush and come over here for? Just curious," Toph huffed and crossed her arms, and started to pace around the room silently, trying to figure a way to explain the situation to her.

"Azula and Zuko Sozin. Rumor has it that are some prissy rich kids from the last school they were at. Zuko Agni on the other hand, went there as a freshman when he lived with his father and knows the place pretty well. A year later he moved in with his Uncle and he went to a private school for a year and then decided to come back here this year," Katara arched an eyebrow and waited for her friend to quit explaining the situation.

"Okay then….. What exactly does this have to do with me for?" Toph snorted and turned to Katara.

"Do you remember what happened last time you fell for someone? Jet broke your heart and cheated on you. You were so different, so cold for so long. We don't want that to happen again. We don't want Zuko to do this to you so…" Katara rolled her eyes and stared at her friend.

"Toph, we probably won't even be friends with them if your describing them like you are." Toph huffed and blew her bangs out of her face.

"Whatever. I just wanted to let you know that. I don't want you getting hurt again like last time. Excuse me for caring," Toph growled as she walked in her walk-in bathroom slamming the door shut.

"Guys! Oh my god! It's so great to see you!" Katara exclaimed as she was squished in a tight hug by her best friends, Suki and Aang.

"How was Florida?" Suki grinned and squealed.

"It was so fun! There were so many cute guys there, What! A girl can look, even though I chose your brother already." Suki shrugged sheepishly while grinning happily. Suki's grin faltered.

"But, my grandma was a tinsy bit boring. I mean I love her and all, but being with her for nearly three months is NOT fun, whatsoever." Suki shuddered at the thought of staying with her grandmother again. Katara turned to her other friend, Aang and grinned at him.

"So how was Europe?"

"It was great! Gyasto so me where he used to live when he still lived there, it was so big.." Aang continued to ramble on, but Katara had other things on her mind. Toph knocked her out of her thoughts and she got her attention.

"Oh great," Toph groaned sarcasitically

"Look who decided to show up already." Toph scowled and crossed her arms as she spotted a bright red Mercedes with three girls in the car. The owner of the car carried herself around like she was the boss of everybody and the person in the passenger seat next to her was the one person they hated most, Mai Smith. The other girl they could tolerate, Ty Lee who was so bipolar, it was pathetic. Katara's brows narrowed in confusion.

"I thought you said she had an older brother?" Toph shrugged indifferently.

"She does,"

"So where is he?" Katara tried to get an answer from Toph.

English 11 honors- Ms. Wu

Katara stared down at her schedule in shock. Her dad was a teacher. He hasn't visited them in so many years. Last she had heard, he was still in the military. As the waterbender looked around her homeroom, she recognized some classmates from the past few years. There was Haru, who turned out to be gay. Then there was Teo, who was in a wheelchair from a car accident when he was younger, which killed his little brother and his mother. Katara recognized most of the students from previous years, but there was one new kid that stood out. He was taller than her, with black hair and golden eyes, but what stood out the most was large scar on the left side of his face.

"Hello class, this is Pre-Calculus, and my name is Mr. Bumi. This year we will have many things to do and I don't tolerate slackers. You may go see the other teachers to familiarize your route." Bumi said as he waved out the students with his hand. Where's dads classroom at? Katara thought.

A9025…

A9027…

A9029…

A9031…

Gotcha! A9033!

As the room came into Katara's line of vision, she saw the classroom fill with students quickly. As soon as she neared it, she noticed the boy from her first period; the one with the scar covering the left side of his face standing near the door.

"You take this class too?" The scarred teen nodded his head and stuffed his hands in his pocket.

"Yea, for sixth period." Hakoda appeared behind the scarred teen and looked at him.

"Young man, who are you talking to?" He pointed towards Katara, who was standing behind Hakoda with a look of pure guilt on her face. Hakoda turned and his eyes popped out of his head as he stared at Katara.

"Dad," Katara ran forward at Hakoda hugging him tightly, tears escaping her eyes as she sobbed quietly.

"Oh Katara," Hakoda exclaimed softly, hugging her back tightly.

"What are you doing here? Here in San Diego. Last time I remember you were stationed in the Middle East."

"They stationed me here. They said I had to stay here for a year before I could return back home. Why are you here? Where's your brother? Where's Gran?" Hakoda questioned worriedly.

"We moved here four years ago. Sokkas a senior now and he goes here. We live in a beach house along the coast with Gran-Gran." Hakoda walked into the classroom quickly and left Katara standing there rolling her eyes at his immaturity.

"So that's your dad?" Katara's head snapped up as the boy asked her that question. Katara nodded her head.

"Yea," Katara murmured softly, twirling a piece of her hair.

"I haven't seen him in six years. He was in the military, stationed in Iraq. He's done three tours I think. Thankfully this is the last one." The boy nodded his head.

"Oh… Well I was wondering if I could see your schedule?" The boy looked at her with a hopeful look on his face, features softened.

"Sure," Katara shrugged nonchalantly and handed him her schedule.

"Ok then…. It seem's as if we have the same exact schedule." The boy handed her the schedules so she could see for herself.

"We-" Katara's sentence was cut off as the intercom blared loudly

"SOKKA KURUK REPORT TO ROOM A9033 IMMEDIATELY!" Katara rolled her eyes and tapped her foot impatiently.

"That your brother?" Katara nodded her head.

"Unfortunately." Hakoda walked out of the room.

"Hun, have you seen your brother since classes started this morning?" Katara shook her head.

"No, I haven't seen him since I left, sometime around five or six, I carpool with one of my friends.

"Stupid Intercom, stupid school, stupid classroom," Sokka growled as he walked down the hallway with an irritated look on his face. Katara pushed Hakoda into the classroom as Katara walked towards Sokka.

"Hey Kit Kat, watchya doing here?" Katara rolled her eyes as his nickname.

"Gimme your schedule, I wanna see something right quick," Katara snatched the paper out of his hands and held it up next to her's.

"You do know we both have French together right? Look who the teacher is," Katara pointed at their father's name and stared at her older brother.

"So, what's that matter for.. Oh…. Do your really think that's him Sis, last I heard he was still stationed in Iraq." Hakoda stood behind Sokka with his arms crossed a smile on his face, and spoke out when Katara nodded her head slightly.

"You sure 'bout that son?" Sokka's eyes widened as big as saucers as he whipped around crushing his father into a bear hug.

"Dad! What are you doing here? Here in Cali, I thought you were in Iraq!"

"They told me I had to be a teacher for a year before I could move back home. Gran never told me that you moved here about four years ago." Hakoda began to explain to his children. Sokka turned to Zuko.

"Oh," Sokka said quietly.

"So, who are you?"

"Zuko," the boy huffed as he held out his hand for a handshake.

"Zuko Sozin." He said quietly, he pointed a finger at Sokka before he started to speak again.

"And that doesn't mean I'm anything like my sister; we haven't seen each other in two years. I hate her"

"I'm Katara. Katara Kuruk. You a bender?" Katara asked as she shook his hand, smiling slightly.

"Yea," Zuko allowed a grin to appear on his features.

"A fire bender," Katara nodded her head quickly.

"Oh," Katara said trying to mask the shock from showing on her face.

"That's cool. I'm a Master Water Bender." Hakoda looked at Katara in disbelief before speaking out.

"You're a Master already?" Katara smiled widely and turned to look at her father

"Yea Grand Pakku taught me."

"PLEASE RETURN TO YOUR 3RD PERIOD CLASSES NOW!" The intercoms yelled. Katara sighed and turned to look at Zuko, and looking at her schedule in disdain.

"Do you know where the gym is?" He nodded his head and motioned for her to follow him.

"Yea, come on," Zuko directed her through a few halls and Katara decided to finally ask the single question that was haunting her mind since he told her who he was.

"Why don't you want to be associated with your sister?" Zuko scowled before speaking slightly, not looking at her.

"She's ruined my life," Zuko said quietly.

"So please, for my sanity, don't talk about her with me." Katara nodded her head weakly.

"Oh, well uhm, sorry, didn't mean to pry, just curious." Katara glanced down at her feet not daring to look at him. He mumbled something but Katara didn't pick it up.

"We're here," Zuko said gruffly, grabbing her attention.

"Thanks for showing me the way," Katara smiled slightly and thanked him.

"Ah, look. My top students come in at last. Where have you been?" Grand Pakku asked as he motioned them to come forward, towards the rest of the class.

"Today we are going to have a test to see what level you're bending is at. Katara and Zuko will help me. Any questions?" Pakku asked as five students raised their hands.

"Yes, Jessica?" Pakku sighed, hoping to get this over with quickly.

"What are they here for?" Jessica said, motioning to Katara and Zuko, irritation evident in her voice.

"Well, since both of them are masters, they are going to help me decide what level your bending is at." Pakku said, trying not to get frustrated.

"Yes, Song?"

"Who trained them? How did they become masters at a younger age than me?" Song asked enviously, sparing a glance at Katara and Zuko.

"Katara's a master because I trained her, and declared her a master at the age of ten; she's my granddaughter. Zuko was mostly trained by his uncle, but I helped with a few sessions when he was a young bender. He became a master at the age of twelve," Pakku explained. Everyone's eyes widened in shock.

"Way to go Grand-Pakku," Katara said while scowling as she reached her seat.

"Jessica, your turn. Say what kind of bender you are and show me the best of what you can do," Pakku said. Jessica said that she was an Earthbender and attempted to create an earthquake. Her form was decent, but she failed miserably. Katara was instantly suspicious, and quickly realized the problem.

"Toph!" Katara exclaimed as she hopped up from her seat and over to behind the bleachers, and appeared to pull an irritated earth bender from behind her.

"Way to ruin the fun Sugar Queen" Toph said scowling.

"Hey Sparks! Hey Gramps!" Toph said as she took her seat beside Katara, grinning at Katara's visible irritation.
