Amnesia- a Zutara Story

by ~darkangel-103

-(Zuko POV)-

It all started in highschool. When three girls, beauties is more like it, broke our hearts. Each had a specialty one a swimmer, another an earth "warrior", and the last a very competive wrestler.

The swimmer was a medium sized girl, skinny, colored skin that seemed like an everlasting tan, brown wavy hair, and big blue eyes that seemed to have no end.

The earth "warrior"...well she was short, extremely long black hair that was like a combination of wavy, straight, and curly, always wore a variety of greens, yellows, and browns to show her support for the planet, however despite all of the time she spent outside in the beating sun, she remained pale. Little is known about what her face looks like due to her long bangs, but there were always rumors

The wrestler. She was fierce, unstoppable, and ever regining champion. her hair was a reddish brown color formerly long but now kept short so it wouldn't get in the way. her eyes...they could never be described, it was as if they always changed colors but remained lovely.

The girls were best friends, inseperable in fact. All of them were transfer students...genius transfer students, looked down upon at first but later worshipped. Suki was the oldest, 16 years old. Rumor had it that she was prodigee of an island that only trained female warriors. But if you didn't know her, you would never guess she was a wrestler on a professional level. She walked with grace and elegance, could appear to be dilcate but yet tougher than steel. Next according to age was Katara, 15 years old. Like Suki she was rumored to be from an island very far down south...as in polar south. She was also a prodigee, so skillful at swimming that she won numerous gold medals, some from the olympics. Katara was a quiet girl, which only made people like her more and she rose quickly on the popularity scale because of her mysteriousness. Last but not least was 14 year old Toph. Like I said before, little is known about her except for a few things. One, she is extremely rich, I mean like a million dollars is pocket change for her. Despite her wealth, she doesn't embrace or flaunt it because her parents don't understand her at all. So, since her family owns a lot of land, she lives in a self built hut big enough for herself and lives completely eco friendly. Though it is the law to wear clothing in a public place, Toph gets around it by not wearing shoes. She says it to show she will rebel for nature, but no one really knows if thats the truth.

- (Katara POV)-

I sat on the table with my friends, cutting class like usual. Suki and I were scanning the common area for hot guys and Toph was carving more designs into her wooden water container. She took a long drink from it and belched.

"Ugh Toph! Can't you act like, I don't know, a girl?" I was shooting her a look of disgust.

She picked her teeth with her finger nail, "Ha. Nope!"

"Uh oh. Trio alert, here they come," Suki said as she tapped my shoulder.

She quickly adjusted Toph's bangs so they would cover eyes. "Hey Suki! What the hell do you think your doing?"

"Making it so people won't see the truth, or do you want that to happen?"

"No. Thanks!" Toph punched her in the arm.

I quickly snapped at them, "Girls! Quiet down!"

The Trio was made up of, of course, three guys. One of which just happened to be my older brother. Zuko was the oldest of them, he was 17, with rippling muscles from working out all the time and fixing motorcycles. He was smart, the hottest thing to ever walk the planet (according to just about every girl who has ever laid eyes on him), compasionate, and a prince. Apparently he is from a fairly nice sized country, where he is the crown prince. However he chose to leave the country for a few years and came here, or at least that what he says. However that scar on his face tells a different story. Next was my 16 year old brother Sokka. Like Suki he was a wrestler, and good at it. So good that he and Suki often went against each other, which ended with him losing and thus renewing their "contract" of hatred towards one another. He, like me, was from a small artic village, where blue eyes, brown hair, and "tan" skin ran rapid. And then there was the little brat known as Aang, he was 14 but usually acted as if he was four. He even had the little kid dream of being a poilet, but it had become more serious in the last year or so. He took every class that had to do with the weather so he would be ready. Now then, the Trio...they were like our counterpart. Smart transfer students who excelled at something that the average teenager did not. We were apparently extremely popular, good-looking, but we were also untouchable. It was strange, all of us had someone we liked but that person never liked us...they always went after someone else. So we all made a silent vow that we wouldn't date...I know its stupid but that is what happened.

"Hey Kat!" Aang sat down next to me. God I hated this kid, he was just to...to...to klingy!

"Go. Away. Aang!"

He put his arm around me, "Ah come on babe!"

"Aang! I told you before, I don't date younger guys!" I quickly pushed his off.

"Um Kat...none of us date..." Sokka looked at me with concerned.

"I know that!"

"Are you ok? You seem kinda of bitchy today?"

Toph snorted, "You mean more than usual?"

"Shut up Toph! And yeah Zuzu I'm fine. Its probably just the stress from finals coming up..."

-(Zuko POV)-

Katara was in a fowl mood, it was obvious but she still wasn't saying why. First Sokka tried to comfort her, but I mean he is her brother. It's not like she would say anything to him, I would know its the same with me and my little sister Azula. Then Aang tried but failed. It was obvious that he cared for her but the feelings were one sided. Toph and Suki also attempted but the result was Katara storming off screaming that all of us should just go to hell. Now how on Earth I ended up running after her...well I don't really know. But I had to, she was best friend.

"Katara?" I cornered her by the lockers (you know like out of a scene from a movie).

"Zuko, leave me alone!" She tried to dodge away from me but contiunlessly failed, "Why won't you just leave...why won't you just leave..." She covered her eyes and started cry.

"I can't just leave my best frie-" I felt something hit the side of my face with the scar.

Katara lowered her hand and started to run again, she paused and turned around staring at me with cold eyes. "Can't you see? Friend...that word is the problem!"

"Kat?" I felt tears run down my cheeks, but it wasn't from the wound on my face.

Sokka walked up to me and grabbed my shoulders, "Where is she? Where is my baby sister?" It was obvious that the situation was stressing him out.

"I don't know, I tried to talk to her but only ended up getting slapped," i gestured to my bright red cheek, "Seriously I have no idea what's wrong with Kat, she's never like this..."

Someone coughed. It was Toph, "Well since no one can figure it out, I suggest we just go home. School is no fun without her."

"Agreed. Bye boys, see you tomorrow!" Suki waved at us and walked away with Toph holding onto her shirt.

"Yeah, I guess I better go. See you guys later," Aang ran off in the opposite direction as the girls.

That left just Sokka and me. He looked up at me with hopeful eyes, "Zuko? Did Katara say anything else to you?"

I quickly thought back. What Katara said...it seemed kinda of personal. "No sorry. She didn't want to talk to me at all." The hope in his eyes crashed.

He sighed, "Thanks anyway dude...See you." Sokka slowly sulked off.

-(Katara POV)-

I sat there in the pool supply closet rocking back and forth. Who was I kidding I wasn't stressed because of finals, those would be easy. No this was from the invisible love hexagon that the six of us shared. Of course I was the only one who put it together, so I didn't bother with saying anything. It started with Zuko, since he was the oldest; Zuko loves Suki, who loves Sokka, who loves Toph, who loves Aang, who loves me, and I love Zuko. It was never ending and hadn't changed in over a year. I found myself laughing hysterically. I was going mad, that hexagon is why we don't date. That stupid six pointed figure is the cause of all our problems.

"Ugh curse that shape. Curse it and all of the problems it brings!"I started to cry again. Damn the memory that I've associated with the hexagon. It was from the day when the silent pact was made. The Trio had taken the chance and asked us out. Problem was, the right guy asked out the wrong girl.

"Suki? Um I was wondering...if you wou-"

"Zuko. You know I don't like you like that. I'm sorry!"

"It's...it's fine!"

At the same time, in another part of the school...

"Um Toph? Would you go on a date with me?"

"Sorry Sokka. No offense put I just wouldn't feel right dating my friend's brother who's two years older than me

"Oh...okay..."

And alas once more in a different part of the school at the same time...

"Hey Katara! I was thinking, you, me, and a movie tonight?"

"Where did you get that line from? A movie? Anyway the answer is no, I'm sorry but you're like a little brother to me."

"..."

I'll admit it, I was a little harsh but so were the other girls...those guys just don't understand.

-(Zuko POV)-

I could hear Katara crying inside of the closet. Something had told me to come to the pool, she always said that water was a like a second home to her. I knocked on the door and there was, of course, no answer. Only dead silence, but not the type that a cricket would chirp in.

"Kat I know you probably don't want to see any of us right now, but tonight is that time of the month so you have to come. You know it would be bad if you didn't!" There was still no answer. "Please Katara! I begging you to come...or else...or else all of us will be screwed okay. All of us!" My voice began to get louder with each word, till the point of me practically yelling. I quickly stormed off before she could retaliate. She had better come tonight, or else there was going to be a lot of trouble...
