*Ok, so if you haven't read my other story, The Unexpected: ATLA, good, read this one first and you'll have a better understanding of the one I had posted before. And I know that there will be handful of you guys who don't read this one, and insist on reading the previous one…It's cool, I get it, you're a rebel, and you don't like people telling you what to do. I like that. We would've been best friends if I knew you. But I promise you just read this one first. And yes, I know that this should've been the first story, but I wanted to make a sequel type thingy with the last one…well just read it you'll see.*

Chapter 1

Katara's POV

...

Okay, my name is Katara. Katara Marine. I'm just your ordinary 17-year-old senior in high school. I guess you can say I'm popular, but I'm a cheerleader, so. I'm a four year cheerleader and track star here at Ba Sing Se High. And no, I'm not a little whore that goes around and has sex with every guy of the basketball team just because I'm a cheerleader. If you're wondering where that girl is, you can go ask my friend, Ty Lee, and she'll tell you all the adventures she's had with her sex life. But any anyway, let's see...I have an older brother, Sokka, he's one year older than me. And at 18, so he's kind of...what's the word…stupid, no...?

"Hey beautiful," someone said behind me. I turned around. It was Zuko, *Sigh* my hotheaded, impatient, yet sexy boyfriend of three years. His shaggy black hair shook as the wind ruptured through it, and the sun reflected off of his golden eyes. I smiled at him and kissed his cheek, the side where his scar was. Yeah, he had a scar shaped like a flame on his face, given to him by his father. But that's a story I'll let him tell you.

"Hey, Zuko," I opened the door to my house and put my bag away. "Did you follow me from school?"

He nodded, following me inside of my house, closing the door behind him. "Is that all I get, just a little kiss on the cheek? Come on, Katara, you know how I am. Show me a little more love?"

I laughed, getting two bottles of water out of the refrigerator and then tossing him one. "Zuko, my dad's going to be home soon any minute now. Besides, don't you have practice today?"

"I skipped soccer practice to be with you, Katara," he said softly. He did one of his famous smirks and walked over to me, leaning me into the counter top. "We got a couple minutes before Hakoda comes home, don't you think?" He leaned in to kiss me.

"I'm going out with Toph and Suki," I said, putting a hand on his chest, stopping him. "We're going out to that party Riley Dean is having at his house tonight. Did he invite you to come?"

He shrugged, taking the cap off of his bottle and taking a sip of his water. "Yeah, he invited Azula and I. Sokka said that he and Suki were going, too. What about Aang? Did he say he was going to go?"

"I don't know," I said. "You know how his parents are. They're very strict."

He scoffed. "His parents are strict? Katara, your dad is strict. He barely lets me hang with you alone at your house, better yet, anywhere. If he walked in this moment, he would probably kill me cause' he'd think we'd be having sex on the counter."

"No, he wouldn't. My dad thinks that we're going to the mall," I laughed. "Besides, he knows that I'm not sexually active. Besides, even if he did…well, let's just hope he doesn't figure that out."

He chuckled, walking back over towards me. "It's not like you haven't done it before, Katara, with me," he said seductively into my ear. "I'm just hoping he doesn't come in on us on a bad time." He kissed my neck, and I helplessly leaned into him. He then moved up the last half inch and touched my lips with his. He picked me up and pushed me against the kitchen counter. I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck as he deepened the kiss, making it more passionate and—

"Katara, I'm home," my dad said, coming through the front door. He walked into the make out session me and Zuko were sharing. "What the hell is going on here? Who invited you here, Zuko?"

"Dad!" I exclaimed, jumping off the counter. "What are you doing here so early? I thought you said that you were going to be coming home at 5:00."

"So I'm an hour early," he said, crossing his arms over his chest. He walked over to Zuko and stood in front of me, blocking my view from Zuko. "I don't know what you're doing here, Sozin, but you need to leave, and I'm calling your coach and telling him that you skipped soccer practice, too."

"Dad, please," I yelled.

"No, Katara," he rose up his hand to stop me. "I walk into my own home, and I see you about to have sex on the counter with this boy!" Zuko looked over at me and gave me a look that said, 'I told you so'.

"We weren't about to have sex, dad," I said sheepishly. "We were just kissing."

"Just kissing can lead to a lot, Katara," my father said, still staring at Zuko, "and I don't want this guy taking your virginity away from you and getting you pregnant. You are about to graduate, Katara; I don't want you getting pregnant going into college."

I felt my cheeks get hot. I turned away from him, taking a sip of my water. "Okay, dad I get it." I felt Zuko stare on me, but I didn't look up. I knew he was telling me to not say anything. "Bye, Zuko."

Zuko nodded, leaning over to give me a kiss on the cheek. "Bye, Katara. I guess I'll see you at the Y.T.R.A.P backwards, ok?" I nodded, giving him a knowing smile. He walked backwards, continuing to look at me until he hit the door, hard. "Ow. Sorry, Hakoda. I just couldn't keep my eyes off your sexy daughter."

"You better get out of my house, Sozin, before I go cop on you," My dad started, running at Zuko, but Zuko was already out the door. I smirked.

"That jerk," my father mumbled.

"Dad, he's really okay," I said reassuring him. "Zuko is not a bad guy at all. You just have to get to know him, that's all."

My father scoffed. "I do not need to get to know that boy. His father is already somebody I don't like. Ozai Sozin. Do you know what he did?" I shook my head. "Since he's a lawyer, he thinks that he can run anybody's court. He set free one of the worst thief's in the city. I think Ozai was friends with that guy because they were high fiving each other when the court was over."

"Do you remember the guy's name that Ozai set free?" I asked, happy that my father had gotten off the subject of me and Zuko.

"I think it was like Zhao something," he said, rubbing his chin. "I can't quite remember the last name, though."

I nodded. "Oh ok." I started to head upstairs, but he put a hand on my shoulder, making me turn around to look at him.

"Katara, I didn't mean to fuss at you," he said softly. "I just want the best for you, alright. I love you, Katara."

"I love you too, dad," I gave him a hug and quickly ran upstairs into my room. I closed my door and flopped on my bed. I turned to look over at my dresser as my phone rang. I answered it.

"Hello?"

"Sugar Queen! Where are you?" It was Toph.

"Calm down, calm down I'll be there," I said. "My dad was talking to me and Zuko was here, so you know how that went."

I heard her laugh. "Look, just get here. Suki and Sokka are waiting for you at my house. Hurry up!"

"Is Zuko with you?"

"He said that he'll meet up with us at the party. He had to pick up Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee."

"What about Aang? Did you hear anything about him?"

She was silent. "Aang and I aren't on good terms right now, Katara. And I don't want to talk about so don't ask any stupid questions about it. Besides, I'm going with Teo."

"Teo Johnson, really, Toph?" I snorted. "Are you that desperate?"

She grunted. "Don't talk about being desperate, Katara. I could call Zuko up right now and tell him not to go. Then, you'll be desperate for a date, and you'd have to be with Jet Kareem."

"That's not going to happen."

"You want me to make it happen, Sweetness?" she went on.

I sighed. "You know what; I'll meet you at your house, Toph, ok?"

"Ok, bye."

"Bye." I hung up and started running downstairs.

"Where are you going?" my father asked, not taking his eyes off the television. "This is a school night; you have some work to do."

I rolled my eyes. "It's Friday, dad, and I'm going over to Toph's house. The whole gang is meeting up over there this afternoon."

"Who is 'the whole gang'?" He asked.

"Well, Sokka is over there and so is Suki," I said. I know that I wasn't telling the whole truth, but it was still the truth, right? "I'll be back a little later."

"You want me to drive you over there?" he asked.

"I'll walk," I said hesitantly. "Toph only lives a couple houses down. It's not that far for a walk."

He nodded. "Don't be back past 10:00 or I'm going to come out looking for you. Tell Sokka the same thing."

I nodded at went out the door before he could say anything else.
