Hello fans! I apologize for the long wait on all my chapters. In my free time I have composed a new fan fiction. I hope you enjoy it and I'd like feedback. Here we go! The ages are slightly changed. Zuko 17,Sokka 17, Toph 17, Azula 16, Mai 16, Ty Lee 16, Katara 16, Aang 15. WARNING: The future chapters will contain some serious lemons. If this is not what you want in a story than I ask that you don't get hooked. If you want to read on then I encourage. I definitely want reviews!
This story changes POV (Points of View) so when you see a gap and then for example 'Katara POV' that means we are seeing the story from their perspective.
Enjoy
Chapter 1
Katara POV
Making sure my hair looked okay for my first day of high school, I walked down the steps of my new house waiting for my brother Sokka. Finally he stepped out of the house looking like a mess, then again boys don't care much about appearance. But I wanted to at least make a good impression my first day.
"Hey, you ready?" He asked, his voiced lined with sleep. I only nodded my palms becoming sweaty. My brother knew me all too well though.
"Cheer up! This is going to be way better than the South Pole! Who knows, you may find something you like!" I smiled at his words. But the nerves still bundled in my stomach like hot lead.
The school we were going to? It was the finest in the entire Earth Kingdom. Only the talented, or the rich, were allowed access. My brother and I had the talent. I was a waterbender and a master at my skill by age fourteen. Sokka was skilled at swords. His technique was a spectacle to watch, and when the scouts from the school came, neither of us held back. Our father and grandmother were reluctant to move away from home, but they thought only for what was best for us.
We began to walk to school. This city was so foreign to us, so loud and full of things we'd never seen. I knew where the school was though, so we pushed on. Twenty minutes was when we finally reached the school. In was marble pillars and sandstone colored buildings as far as the eyes could see. Decorated with Earth Kingdom flags and colors. I began to miss snow. I pointed to the building that said 'Front Office' and we followed several others in. Grabbing our schedules, we parted ways. I was on my own. Scanning through my schedule, I saw all advanced classes. I swallowed hard. Hopefully I wouldn't need a tutor. Making it into the main building ,where most classes were, I scrambled to the bathroom. My nerves were taking over at the moment and I needed to breathe. This place was full of rich royals, which I was not, and smart people, which I barely was.
There was a girl standing in the bathroom checking her face in the mirror. She had jet black hair and a thin body which was rather exposed. Her shirt was lower exposing cleavage, while her maroon skinny jeans left nothing to the imagination. I felt overdressed,with my white blouse and blue jeans. She turned her head to glare at me with golden eyes of hate. The look on her face was that of disgust.
"Where are you from?" Her voice high and defiant called. I opened my mouth to say something but two more girls came around the stall door. One was tall, pale skin black hair, while the other was my height with light brown hair. The tall one wore a black band t-shirt with black jeans. She had a look of pure depression. The other wore bright pink with a shirt showing off enough cleavage for everyone in the room.
"Who's this Azula?" The tall one called.
"Not sure Mai, I've never seen her before." Said Azula. Suddenly the pink one bounced over to me.
"Oh my gosh! Your hair is gorgeous!" She squealed.
"Ty Lee, don't talk to her, she's obviously a water tribe peasant." Said Mai
"I'm not a peasant! My name is Katara." I said it strong but they were unfazed by my defiance. I turned to run out of the bathroom, only to smash into a hard chest. Definitely a boy.
"Whoa, are you alright?" A very masculine voice asked. I looked up to look at my savior. My breath caught, he was extremely handsome. His hair was shaggy and black, though half of his face was scarred, his eyes were still beautiful.
"S-sorry, I um...I wasn't watching where I was going." That was my smoothest response. I realized he was still holding me when the girls came out of the bathroom. Mai looked as though she was trying not to kill me.
"Zuko really? A water tribe wench?" Mai spit through her teeth. Zuko clenched his jaw. He held me slightly tighter.
"She ran into me. No need for the jealousy."
The bell rang. I squirmed from his iron grip and ran toward the door to my next class. The class was about medicinal herbs. I planted myself in the seat in the way back. Zuko followed me and plopped himself down next to me.
"Sorry about Mai. She's had a crush on me since we were kids. I didn't catch your name?" He had this sincere smile on his face that made my heart flutter.
"Katara. You're Zuko right?" He nodded.
"Sadly Azula is my sister. Her and her friends have tortured me forever." He said shaking his head of memories.
More kids began to pile into the room. In front of me say a short pretty girl with a green dress and black hair, next to her a bald boy with tattoos.
"So how come you're here?" Asked Zuko breaking my concentration. I blinked.
"My bending ability." I whispered for some reason. His eyes lit up. He went to speak but the class was called to attention. Why is he so fascinated with me? I couldn't help but wonder.
"And remember kids, the homecoming dance is a month away." I swear to you the room exploded with chatter. I didn't care for dancing, plus no one would ask me anyway.
Zuko POV
Homecoming? Great, Mai will want to go. I glanced up to the beautiful girl named Katara. She had this certain ethereal light about her eyes. Maybe take her? No. She would never say yes to me. I brought shame to my family, plus the scar was a little intimidating unless girls wanted sex or money. Then they just didn't care. But I did know one thing. I really liked this girl.
Katara POV
The day was flying by, though I wasn't able to concentrate on much with Zuko being in every class I had. As did Toph and Aang. We were all becoming more comfortable with each other, but Zuko was silent mostly. I always felt his eyes on me, but I wasn't uncomfortable, strangely I felt safer. We all made our way to the lunch room. Sokka was there flirting with a pretty girl. Glad he liked this place because I still had my doubts. Especially about those girls. Ty Lee wasn't so bad, but the others frightened me.
"So sugar queen where are you from?" Toph asked. I loved her attitude. Though she was completely blind, she knew people better than those who could see.
"My brother and I" i gestured to Sokka who was stuffing his face while that girl giggled "are from the southern Water Tribe. We got here less than a week ago." I said.
"Nice, you a bender?" Aang asked.
"Yes, that's the main reason why I'm here." I ended the conversation watching Zuko stroll over, his bright eyes on me. He sat down at our long table.
"I'm a bender as well. I have the skills class after this." Skills was basically fighting other elements to hone your skills.
"So do I." Was all I managed to say. I don't get why it was so hard to talk to him. He smiled a big smile at me before something behind me made him stop. I turned only to look up at the trio of girls.
"Hello Zuzu," Azulas voice rang out over the others. "Care to join us at a more...acceptable table?" She said sneering at us as though we smelled unpleasant. The girl next to Sokka spoke up.
"Just because you're royal, doesn't mean you can treat us like dirt." She was glaring at Azula so violently, it struck fear into me.
"Suki don't bother with her." Toph piped up. Azula scowled stomping toward her brother.
"They won't be saying that when daddy owns the Earth Kingdom." And she walked, correction, she strutted away. Zuko looked to me, his eyes full of sympathy and maybe longing?
"I like you guys. My sister thinks our birthright makes us better than the rest of you. She's wrong and our birthright means nothing here." He said sincerely.
"Yeah well my birthright is pretty high too. She wants trouble, she'll get it." Toph spoke up in a growling tone. I couldn't help but smile,as did Zuko.
"I'm sure that's exactly what she wants."He said his tone low.
Azula POV
"If he has eyes for her I'll end her pathetic existence!" Mai growled staring daggers into the Water Tribe wenches head. I felt my knuckles whiten at the thought of him spoiling our name like that. Father would do even more damage than the last time. I smiled at the thought.
"I thought she was nice, and so gorgeous!" Ty Lee squealed. Mai snarled, making Ty Lee roll her eyes.
"Don't worry, I'll end her if she ruins my good name." I said, making Mai smile.
"She'll never get that far."
Zuko POV
Katara had a very infectious laugh. Every little giggle made me want to just laugh for days. Her face was beautiful, the kind that made you wonder if she was heaven sent. Her eyes lit up as she again spoke of her bending ability. She must have been so much better than she was letting on. The bell rang and I dragged behind slightly to watch her walk, not in a creepy way, but to just watch. She held herself high her shoulders back. Defiance, but not bitchiness, that was why it was fascinating.
She was perfect. I shook the thought from my head. Really Zuko? She'd never pick you. I sighed and entered a locker room to change, we were supposed to wear colors from our country, so a black tank top and dark red sweat pants suited I guess. I glanced at myself in a dusty graffiti covered mirror.
Wow I look pale. I need some sun. I shrugged and walked out into the arena. There were dark blue mats on the floors and walls. Corners were filled with rock disks and buckets of water. I couldn't wait to bend. It'd been all day and I had the urge to throw fire. I glanced around. There stood Katara, a dark blue sports bra and dark blue sweatpants. The sight made my mind go fuzzy. She was gorgeous. Curved in every place, it'd make anyone drool. Which is exactly what some boys behind her were doing.
I growled at the vile glances they were giving her. Now I really want to throw some fire. She took no notice what-so-ever. She was talking to Toph and Suki. They both wore Kataras outfit, only in dark green. I walked over, trying to swallow. Never once had a girl made me nervous, but I suddenly felt difficulty breathing. I made my way to them, their conversation ceased.
"Nervous?" I managed to say in her direction. She smiled.
"No, bending calms me down." She said smiling. I swallowed. That smile will be the death of me.
"Want to be my partner? I've never fought an opposite element." My voice sounded higher, nervous. I hope she didn't catch on. She furrowed her brow and then brought a half smile to her lips.
"Bring it on." And she walked over to one of the rings. I stood, jaw agape, while the other girls laughed. You've got to be kidding. She's perfect.
Katara POV
I walked my back to Zuko, trying not to giggle at the wide eyed look he'd given me before I turned around. I liked him. He was nice and quiet. Hopefully he hadn't heard the fact that Suki and I were talking about how handsome he was. I cringed at the thought. I breathed in and focused. I took my stance. Zuko was right across the arena, grinning at me. It broke my concentration, I missed the whistle blow. Fire came flying toward me, in a panic, I threw up a wall of water. The collision of the two elements made steam. I couldn't see in front of my face, or anywhere for that matter. I threw water toward the noises of feet. I heard it collide and the deep groan that followed. I smiled, he got hit. Suddenly both our elements were flying making the fog thick. Finally I saw him. His hands were down. It was as though we were in a bubble of steam.
"I wanted the chance to talk to you." He whispered. My heart began to race in my chest. I swallowed, the humidity making it harder to breathe, and smiled.
"Can we hang out sometime?" He whispered.
"When?" I croaked.
"I was kind of hoping after school. Like today. Getting to know you is my biggest priority." His grin got better as my eyes got wide.
"S-sure." I stammered.
"Fantastic. Maybe you could show me some defensive moves." With that he waved his hand and the steam was gone, our bubble burst, and I stood there. It was toward the end of the day and the girl were changing. I ran into the locker room. Toph and Suki were waiting for the details.
"From the sound both your hearts were making, I'd say you had fun." Toph said with a smirk. Suki hid her giggle behind her hand.
"He's coming over today. He wants to hang out with me." Reality set in.
The prince of the fire nation was coming to my house. He was so sincere and innocent despite what his life must have been like. Tormented by that evil sister, and yet he was so kind to me. I suddenly became very self conscious of him staring at me. The way he was starring made heat rise in my cheeks. The way his eyes sparked a fire in my stomach made a lump in my throat.
"If your heart keeps beating that fast it might fly out of your chest." Toph said smirking. I flushed and darted my eyes away. This day was going to be difficult.
Azula POV
My eyes scanned the parking lot for my brother.
"Where in the hell is my brother?" The question was rhetorical, but Mai and Ty Lee shrugged. Mai was glaring at the floor, which was normal for her, but I knew why. Her feeling toward my brother had always been there, existing in quiet. I tried my hardest to get them together, but as always, Zuko made my life more difficult than it actually needed to be. Suddenly a growl came from the backseat of my Jeep.
"That slut! I told you he liked her!" Mai's voice was sharp as glass. I looked in the direction her eyes were burning toward. The water tribe bitch. I felt the anger boil. There they were walking toward the East side of town. I put the Jeep in drive. He would not get away with this.
So thoughts? I will update all unfinished fics ASAP. The more reviews the faster this goes. Until next time fans!
