A Story in Progress
Prologue
I walked down the hallway of Avatar College. On my left was my sister, Azula, and her boyfriend Jet. On the right was the love of my life Mai. The halls cleared a path for us, the notorious bad kids. People feared yet loved us and such feelings hadn't changed in years. Here was Jet, the school's star quarterback. He took the team to the championship ever year for the past three years, beginning in his freshman year. His name was in articles across the country saying that a new football star had emerged. Then there was Azula, no surprise that she was the head cheerleader along with Mai as co-captain and enforcer. They were the coolest girls in the school, no one would deny that. All that was left was me, a famous gang leaders son...though no one other than my friends and sister knew. That was it, nothing more. I was normal, a lucky teen who just happened to be related and friends with people who were great. Life was good, I had everything I could ever want. Money flowed like the Nile and power was plentiful like water in an ocean; but something was missing. I didn't know what it was but I knew that it wasn't there.
Chapter
The city only college's halls were filled with teenagers from all walks of life; it was obvious who came from where in Agni's Capital. Those that were poor always behaved a little to well and kept together so they wouldn't get kicked out. Then came the middle class; they acted normal, the kids had money but not enough to brag. The rich, however, were as snooty as could be, talking back to the professors and cutting class. I always guessed that they were just trying to be like the stereotypical cool person. But, we always came first...we were top of the line purebreds and there was no challenging it. We had been to described to give off a shine as we walked on the golden path of perfection. Azula's hair flips would make all the other females beg for beauty tips whilst her winks would make the guys melt. Although a hand around her waist and a glare from Jet would quickly solidify them. Mai would do the same but in all truthfulness I didn't care. She could flirt and talk to as many guys as she wanted and I would do the same with girls.
"Zuko, we're gonna go sit at the table," Jet got my sister and girlfriend, "Hurry up!"
Like usual I forgot to go grab lunch before I left the mansion and had to resort to buying something from the school. The line was pretty long but the typical fights made the wait interesting; today there were a couple of richies arguing over who stole whose boyfriend. As I continued to walk forward someone bumped into my back.
The person's books clattered on the tile floor, "Watch out you bit-" It was a nerdy girl who I had most of my classes with. Her glasses got knocked off reveling the prettiest eyes, "-itch. Um...sorry about that. Here let me help." I tried to ignore her looks, but it was increasingly difficult to do so.
I started to pick up the textbooks only to have my hand slapped away, "Why don't you watch it you asshole!" She glared at me then walked away before my reaction could form.
The treeck to my lunch table was quick but seemed like forever. It was the first time in my life that someone had ever opossed me, the first time I ever got yelled at by someone outside of the four person group. When I sat down I heard them talking to me, asking me where my lunch was but the only answer that would come was silence. I was baffled trying to think why that girl was so mean. I have more classes with her...like...like science next hour! I'll tell her off then. Their eyes grew wide as my friends heard me laugh wickedly to myself but I disregarded their glances.

Since we had just finished a test the seating was once again changed. All of the girls were whispering about who was most likely going to sit next to who. The teacher removed the screen that showed a rough outline of the classroom. Starting from the front the pairs were pretty well made; Ruki with Maki, Shang with Mulan, Mushu with Kita, Zuko with Katara, Roku with Sakura, Kagome with Inuyasha, Amu with Ikoto...I did a back track thinking that maybe I had become dyslectic but it was written in red marker write there, me and girl named Katara were partners. Her name seemed familiar but a face would not stick with it.
After the class finished moving the teacher projected her voice, "Listen up students! The people you are paired with now will be your partner for the rest of the year!" Everyone cheered, everyone but Katara and I. We just sat there staring at each other, the events of lunch playing through our minds...it was going to be one hell of a year!
"No idiot! Those don't mix!" I rubbed my temples as Katara yelled at me.
"Yea they do! That's what the lab says!"
She pushed away from the table and grabbed the beakers from my hand. Lifting one to my face she ranted, "Do you see a two here?" I told her no, "Then its the wrong chemical. Dammit don't you ever pay attention!" I'm pretty sure she mumbled something about the spirits hating her but decided it was best not to comment.
Our chemistry class progressed at a steady tempo, she would tell me off and I would say nothing. It wasn't because a retort did not exist but every time she looked at me my insides would melt and a lump would form in my throat. Katara's eyes were like a deep, silky, blue...a blue hidden behind a pane of glass. Her looks would radiate more if she wore contacts instead. For the first time I noticed how she wore everything a little too big: baggy shirts and pants that actually needed a belt. Azula would probably spend hours critiquing her up half before a word was even uttered about the bottom. Falling for this girl was impossible...but I was known to do the crazy.

Yea Zuko I'm also known to do the crazy...like actually writing this story. Anyhu this is a new one that is in an alternative universe similar to Amnesia but definitely not the same...the characters and their backgrounds are different...and they're in college... Heads up! If you like a mean Azula and a horrible father Ozai then I suggest you click out of this story now XD
