I DO NOT OWN AVATAR

I DO NOT OWN AVATAR. Though if I did I'd be making a book 4 :

Chapter 1

Katara's POV

"Katara we're going to be late! If we are late our timing will be off and I want to get there on time!" Sokka was trying to be 'positive'. Everything always had to be on time and on schedule with my brother.

Today is Sokka, my brother, and I's first day of traveling to our new school at a boarding school in a place called Tui-La Manor. It is said to be a mansion named in honor of Yin and Yang. It was named that to keep order and peace and balance within the school for the four nations attending, hence YIN YANG.

Tui-La Manor (TLM) is a school with 5 different parts. Waterbenders, Earthbenders, Firebenders, Airbenders and the…regulars like Sokka. It had 6 floors. Five for dorms and the first floor for classes. Well they have a basement if that counts as a floor. They didn't have school uniforms so Sokka and I just wore our regular outfits.

We lived all the way down on the Southern Water Tribe in the South Pole and the school was carved by earthbenders. We had to take a boat, an eel hound, and possibly walk. It was a one week journey and according to Sokka's 'master schedule' we have to be precise and on time for everything to make it by the first day.

"Katara! KATARA!" sokka yelled.

"Sokka quiet i'm ready." i flicked him in the head.

He rubbed his head and looked at the little red spot i just put on him.

"Why do you feel the need to do that?" he asked me.

I just shrugged. "You make it too easy to feel the need to do anything like that."

We walked out of our igloo and strolled towards our dad's boat...the beginning of our school adventure.

….

When we got there the first thing i noticed was a giant ornate building. The windows were practically rectangular holes in the wall. I saw some kids outside dueling each other to see which element was the best. But something else caught my eye. No one told me it was also near a beach. I supposed it was just so waterbenders could practice.

"You better like it sis. Because this is all we'll be seeing for 9 months." Sokka exclaimed. So much for his positive attitude.

"Sokka cheer up. This might actually be fun." i said.

"Last time you said something was going to be fun a penguin stole my underwear." Sokka's face expression turned gloomy. You could tell right now he was unhappy at the memory.

"Well i'm sorry." i said. "Just make some new friends and i'm sure a penguin won't steal your underwear." i was taunting him sarcastically.

"Yes Sokka making new friends could be promising." i smiled when my dad was playing along too. "And you too Katara." my smile disappeared. he was talking about me too. "That way everyone is happy." my dad said.

"I'm not happy." Sokka said.

"Yeah but you're never happy." i told him.

"I'll see you kids next summer." My dad said.

"Bye dad. We'll miss you." Sokka and I hugged him.

"I'll miss you too. Now hurry up."

"Bye!" I yelled on our way into the building. The guards were earthbenders, some of the Earth King's security.

"Wow…Sokka can you believe this?!" I took one glance inside.

"I know. It's amazing. I'll try to hold in the excitement." He was being sarcastic and i shot him a look.

We went to the office to get our dorm room and key.

"I am Lo." "And I am Li." They said in perfect timing. "Here are your schedules." "And here are your keys." We grabbed the things they held out for us.

I leaned closer to Sokka and started whispering. "Can we please get out of here their unison, or whatever it is, is creeping me out."

"Well we should be off now." Sokka said and we almost ran out the door.

"What room are you in?" I asked Sokka.

"My key says room 513." Sokka said. He didn't really have any interest whatsoever.

"Mine says 514. You think our dorms are near each other?" I asked.

"I really wouldn't care."

….

"I can't believe we just walked 5 flights of stairs." I put my hand to the wall and started catching my breath.

"Maybe it's to help us with our stamina practice or something." Sokka said. He didn't seem tired at all. He was obviously trying to be strong and he was flexing his muscles.

"Yeah, you keep thinking that. Let's see…510, 512, 514! And look Sokka, 513 is just across the hall from mine! You think it's because we're siblings?"

"I don't think so Katara. Later I'm off to bed."

"Sure you don't want to go down for lunch. What if they have…oh I don't know…MEAT?" Gran-gran made it my duty to make sure Sokka wouldn't be too lazy this year.

Sokka stopped opening his door. "Fine." Then he opened it and slammed it shut.

I rolled my eyes and walked into the room. It was amazing! There were like 4 steps of stairs in front of me. I looked to my left and right and they were for coats and shoes and backpacks. I walked up the stairs. To my right was a bunk-bed and right across from it was a regular bed. To my left was a bathroom and in front of the bathroom were 3 walk-in closets. There was an enormous window.The window opened into a porch. Luckily, my room got the ocean view.

I walked towards the bed to see someone had already taken the top bunk. But that's okay I always wanted the bottom.

Sokka's POV

I walked into my room after yelling at Katara. My room was big. It was in a perfect rectangle and to my right was a bathroom. The toilet had its own room in it! Right in front of the bathroom were 3 beds. I looked to my left and I saw 3 walk-in closets. There was a fourth but it was labeled for coats and shoes and such. I was the last one in. two other boys were in here.

"Um, hi I'm Sokka." I said nervously. I raised my hand up and it was kept up there for a long time. I looked at it and quickly put it down.

"Hi I'm Aang. Nice to meet you!" said a bald kid with blue arrow tattoos. He seemed like such a cheerful kid. Compared to the other one. The other one had a red scar on his left eye and he seemed gloomy. He was asleep too.

"Who's that?" I asked.

"That's Zuko. He's the principal's son." Aang said looking at him.

I started poking him with one of my tribes warrior weapons. "Hello? Hello?" i asked him. when he didn't respond i turned to Aang. "Is he..you know dead or something?" i knew he wasn't dead but it was all i could think of.

"Dead? why would Zuko be dead?" Aang said. i just kept on poking him to wake him up. Aang grabbed it and stopped me. "You should probably stop doing that unless you want to become a burned moose lion." i looked at Aang. Burned moose lion? Obviously the kid didn't seem too bright.

I looked at the candle. It flickered once. One hour past midday (one o' candle). "Oh it's already that late? I have to go down to the cafeteria to meet my sister. Want to come with?"

"Sure."

Katara's POV

I was about to leave to go down to the cafeteria to meet up with my brother until someone came into the room. She seemed kind and was the first one to speak.

"Hey. Looks like we're roommates." She was holding tea in her hands.

"Yeah looks like it. Where'd you get the tea?"

"Cafeteria. Did you know all the food is free this year?" she told me.

"Sounds neat." i smiled.

"Sorry but i have to go back down there. i totally forgot to get some food."

"Well actually I was on my way to the cafeteria right now to meet up with my brother. Want to come with?"

Her face brightened up. "Sure I'd love to!"

Sokka's POV

"So when is your sister getting here?" Aang asked me.

"I think soon. She's already a bit late."

"Is that her right there?" I looked at Aang and he was pointing towards the entrance and sure enough…there was my little sister running towards us…with a new friend?

"Hey Sokka sorry we're late." katara said almost out of breath.

"Yeah you should be sorry! We've been standing here for minutes!" i said.

"Oh no what a nightmare!" she joked.

"Yeah it was!" i screamed at her.

"This is my new roommate. Sokka this is Suki. Suki this is Sokka my brother." Suki and I shook hands.

"It's nice to meet you." Suki said.

"So Sokka who's this?" Katara asked.

"Oh this is-" I began.

"Hi I'm Aang." Aang smiled widely just like he did when I first met him.

"Um, hi. I'm Katara." Aang and Katara shook hands.

"Let's get some lunch. I'm starting to get a little hungry." I said.

Suki's POV

We all sat down on a rock table thing and we started talking about our schedules.

"I'm a waterbender so I have Master Pakku first period." Katara spoke.

"I can't bend so I have P.E. with Master Piendou." I said.

"You can't bend?" Aang asked me.

"No. wish I could though." I laughed.

"Well Sokka isn't a bender either! Maybe you guys will have the same classes together." Katara said.

"Yeah maybe." I smiled at him.

"So Aang what about you?" Sokka asked Aang.

"Well…the thing is-" he was cut short.

A tall man in a red robe came up behind him as if on cue or something. I've heard of him. His name was Roku. "Avatar Aang, we'd like a word with you." Roku said.

"Um…okay." Aang seemed nervous but got up and followed Roku.

"Aang…" Katara said.

"...The avatar?" I said.

"No way." Sokka exclaimed.

Sokka's POV

Aang was gone for a while so we decided to split and go back to our dorms.

"So uh…Suki. Looks like we have Master Piendou together." I rubbed the back of my head.

"Yeah. Looks like it." Suki said.

"Hey Suki. Did you take the top bunk?" Katara asked her changing the subject.

"Yeah. I'm sorry did you want it?" she asked.

"Oh no I'm okay with it. I just wanted to know. Any idea who our third roommate is?"

"I heard it was supposed to be a blind girl." Suki said.

"Is she a bender?" I asked.

Suki turned to me. "Yeah I heard she was an earthbender. She's a Bei Fong. The richest people of the Earth Kingdom…so I hear."

"Richest people? Wouldn't she be homeschooled then?"katara asked.

"Supposedly. Don't know why she's here though."

Katara and Suki had practically ignored me so i had only one option left to do.

"Well I'm off to bed." I said.

"Sokka it's only 5pm." Katara said.

"Look I'm tired and people tend to sleep when they are tired." I closed my eyes when I spoke and put my finger up in a matter-of-fact way. When I opened my eyes they were gone and I was talking to myself. Although I could've sworn I heard them giggling on the other side of the door.

"Hey Sokka. What are you pointing at?" I noticed my finger was still pointed up.

I looked to find Aang also looking up.

"Aang where were you? We waited forever." I said.

"Sorry. I'll explain later." and we both walked into the room. Zuko was still sleeping and I think he burned his pillow or something because there were feathers in his mouth.

Aang and I sat on our beds and talked.

"Why didn't you tell us you were the avatar?" I asked.

OOH CLIFFHANGER!! Haha just kidding. R&R please. Hope you liked it.
