Hello all, this is my first ATLA fic, I am takeing a break from my other fic cause I am having a sevear case of writers block. Incase your wondering, this is a modern AU about Aang, Katara, and whoever els I put in the story, I am kinda making this up as I go, so bear with me is it seems.. idk, rushed? But the good part about that is you can give me ideas in review if you want to see something in the story, btw please review, it makes me want to update more.

Disclaimer: I do not own ATLA, if I did; I would make a much better movie than M night did.

LOVE LOST

CH.1

*buzz… buzz* Katara woke to the sound of her phone vibrating; she looked at her clock, and then started to glare at the sealing. Who the hell is calling me at 3:00 in the morning? Thought Katara. She picked up her phone and looked at it; it showed a picture of Aang, so she answered it as quick as she could.

"Aang?" She asked in a slightly concerned voice.

"Hey baby." Answered Aang. He sounded sad, it worried her more.

"What's wrong honey?" She knew he loved it when she called him that, she hoped it would cheer him up.

"Baby… I'm leaving."

"What?"

"I- I'm leaving, I have to go."

"Go? Go where? Aang talk to me, tell me what's happening."

"I- I can't… I love you Katara" She had been dieing to hear him say those words. After all their years of years of friendship, and almost 3 months of dating; she was surprised they didn't come sooner. She was also surprised that she wasn't near as happy as she thought she would be when they came.

"I love you" He said again, and her heart fluttered, "I needed you to know that before I left."

"Aang, I love you too, please tell me what's going on" She could feel tears welling up in her eyes, and she could hear his breathing start to get shaky.

"I'm so sorry, I wish I could tell you, but I can't… ple- please don't look for me, I won't be there… I love you… goodbye"

"NO, wait, please…" the line went dead and she was left crying in her bed.

The next day she waited under the tree were they first kissed, but he didn't show. She looked for him in class, but he wasn't there- the teacher didn't even call his name in role- Days when by, then weeks, and then a month; but there was still no sign of him.

One day after class, Katara was doing her homework.

"Hey Katara" she looked up, it was Jet.

"Hey…"

2 Years Earlier, beginning of 7th grade

The car pulled up to the school, the sign out front said 'Welcome to AIR middle school, home of the blue arrows' funny part was the school was not just for air benders. The school system as set up with 3 elementary schools, water to the south, earth to the east, and fire to the west. Then it had air middle school to the north, and then Avatar high in the center of town, along with the central office building, and the police station.

"Ok, here we are, have a good day son." Said Gyatso, he turned to his son Aang and gave him a hug goodbye.

"Thanks dad, I will see you after school, hopefully I don't die on the first day" said Aang, Gyatso gave a chuckle as Aang got out of the car; not knowing that it wasn't a joke. Aang had lived in the town his whole life, he knew everybody, and everybody knew him, he was the one face that everyone recognized; even if they didn't know his name. The downside to this is, all of the bullies also recognized him, and unfortunately, most of them know his name. They knew him because he was a strait A student, and a bit of a nerd. What they didn't know is that he was a master air bender; but this was actually a good thing. This is good because on the pyramid of popularity: fire benders were on top, then water, earth, and last air… CORRECTION: Fire, water, earth, NORMAL PEOPLE, and then air benders.

Aang sighed as his dad pulled away in the car, he sung his backpack over his backpack over his shoulder, turned around, and walked straight into school. He had his schedule, and he knew his way around; he knew this because he studied the map to see the fastest way to get to class, and avoid trouble. He was almost to his locker when he saw a girl standing there trying to open it. Not just any girl, she was probably one of the most beautiful girls he had ever seen. She had bronze skin, Krystal blue eyes, long brown hair, and amazing curves.

It took a lot of nerve for Aang not to just turn around and walk to class. He could have done that, but then he would have had to carry all his stuff around with him. So he took a big gulp of air, and walked up to her.

"Um… Can I help you?" asked Aang.

"Not unless you can get this damn locker open" said the girl

"Here, let me try." He nudged her shoulder to get her to move. She did, and folded her arms over her chest in a aggravated fashion.

"I don't think you're going to get in without my combo, it's…" *Click* Aang pulled the lock off and opened the door.

"How did you know my combo?" she asked.

"Well actually, it was my combo… Cause it was my locker." He gave her a big smile, and swung the lock around his finger. She looked confused, and she pulled out a slip of paper and read it. She gave a disgruntled huff, and moved to the left of Aang, and opened the locker right next to his.

"Well your obviously new here, so may I ask what you name is." Said Aang, as he put his stuff in his locker.

"It's Katara, and how did you know I was new?" Katara replied

"I've lived here my whole life, it's not too often I see a new face, especially one like yours."

"What's wrong with my face?"

"What? Nothing, your face is perfect."

"Aww, thank you… Um, I'm sorry, I didn't get your name."

"My name's Aang"

"Well Aang, you wouldn't happen to know how to get to room 361 would you?" asked Katara.

"Actually, that's my first class, follow me, I will show you."

"Ok" said Katara, with a cheery voice, they closed their lockers, and started down the hall.
