I'm back!!! I'm really excited about this story. At the moment I have no idea how long I'll make it. The idea for Katara to be a Goth girl came from the novel Vampire Kisses. Even though that's where the idea came from the two stories are different in a number of ways. It does take place in modern time. I also changed the ages a bit.
Ages:
Aang-17
Katara-16
Sokka-18
Suki-18
Toph-15
Zuko-18
Azula-17
Mai-17
Ty lee-16

Katara sat in the principle's office staring at her black tights. Her father sat next to her with a worried smile on his face. His blue shirt matched the blue in his eyes. Just then her principle walked in stood behind his desk. Principle Long Feng had his signature frown on his face.
"Hello Mr. Rivers", he said reaching over the desk to shake Hakoda's hand. "Now as we both know, Katara used to be an outstanding student. But now it's as if she's not even trying", Long Feng explained, sitting in his chair behind the desk.
"Katara's mother died a few months ago and they were really close", Hakoda told the principle.
Katara just sat back in her chair, not caring. Her ipod blasted in her ear as her father and principle discussed her problem. She knew exactly what they were talking about. She had multiple detentions for mouthing off to teachers and she had an F and D report card.
Katara is a very smart girl, but she doesn't care anymore. If they were all going to die like her mother then why bother with the problems of today. What's the use of living if you don't know when your life will end? The only reason she'd never kill herself was because she knew it would kill her father, her brother, and her friends.
"Mr. Rivers, I don't know if Katara will graduate next year if she keeps these grades", Long Feng said.
"I know. Is there some type of counselor here at the school she can see", her father asked.
"Yes, I'll arrange for her to meet with her Monday", Long Feng assured him. He gave Katara a disapproving look as she turned her volume up even higher. "Here, this is the form explaining Katara's latest detention", Long Feng said handing Hakoda a sheet of paper.
"I guess that's all", he told them. Hakoda stood up out of is chair and tapped Katara's shoulder. She rose out of her chair and followed her dad out of the office. As soon as she took her ipod out of her ears and turned it off Hakoda started to talk to her.
"Katara, could you please at least try". They were approaching the parking lot of her high school, Ba Sing Se High.
"What's the point? Maybe I'm just stupid", she replied. Her father unlocked the doors to their blue ford.
"Don't ever say that, honey. You're not stupid and you know it", he told her. He opened the car door to the driver's side and got in. Katara went around to the other side and got in the passenger's seat.
"If you just try then-".
"Dad, could we please just drop it", Katara interrupted her father. The rest of the ride home was silent. Hakoda didn't want to argue with his daughter. He was already afraid that she was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
When they pulled up in front of their house she was the first to jump out of the car. Hakoda trailed slowly behind her. Walking into the house Katara found her brother Sokka sitting on the couch with his girlfriend and her best friend, Suki.
"How'd it go", Suki asked.
"The same as it always goes", Katara replied. She plopped down on the couch in between Sokka and Suki.
"I know what'll cheer you up", Suki proclaimed. "The fair is back in town".
"I don't know, Suki", Katara said.
"Come on, Katara. It'll be fun", Sokka assured her.
"Okay", Katara answered.
"We can invite Ty lee and Mai, too", Suki said excitedly.
Hakoda walked into the living room.
"Are you staying for dinner, Suki", Hakoda asked.
"No, dad. We're going out tonight", Sokka told him.
"Come on let's go pick out something for you to wear", Suki said to Katara as she grabbed her hand and raced up the stairs to Katara's room.
