I don't own Avatar or anything. I am just writing for fun.

The First and Last Day

Katara has just moved to Ember Island with her brother Sokka from the Southern Water Tribe. They are here to attend The Ember Academy. This school was the only one of its kind. It mixes teenagers from all nations and ages together. The academy is suppose to help unify the world and bring the nations together.

It was there first day of school. Katara's alarm clock went off, she took the water from her cup and water bent down on the alarm clock to shut it off. She turned around in her bed and got up. She slow walked to the bathroom and began getting ready.

She heard a door open then close. Then a loud

"BOOM" on the door.

Sokka moaned "Hurry up I gotta get ready to you know."

" Give me a minute!" Katara yelled.

" What ever " Sokka muttered as he walked back to his room.

After about 15 minutes they were walking to school. Sokka looked at his sister and asked if she was nervous.

Katara answered " A little".

He just laughed, " What's the worst that could happen".

They looked at each other and smirked. When they reached the school a massive amount of people were walking around and chatting. Katara instantly noticed two boys talking close to each other. She thought they were pretty cute but she didn't show her interest. They kept walking towards the academy's doors while she was trying not to look at the boys. As she passed the taller of the two she took mental notes in her head.

He was tall lean with dark brown eyes and a mischievous smile. She was instantly attracted to him. She over heard them talking and someone calling him "Jet".

When she passed them it was to late to look at the other boy because her and Sokka were already at the door.

Jet smirked and told his gang " I have a new fish on the hook and she is very pretty".

The entire gang laughed and asked if he will he ever changed.

Jet thought about it for a minute and smirked " Hell No".

Back in the office Katara and Sokka got there schedules and looked at them.

They both looked at each other's schedule with a questioning face.

Sokka turned back around to the secretary and said " There must be something wrong with are schedules cause we have all the same classes except one which is because my sister is a bender.

The secretary slightly chucked and said " No, honey the classes here mix people from all age groups and teach everyone the same thing".

She noticed that Sokka still looked confused. She looked around and whispered low so know one would hear her and Sokka nodded like he understood. He turned back to Katara and pulled her out of the office. She wiggled out of his grasp and asked Sokka " What did she say? ".

Sokka looked at her and said " the secretary told me that this is the first year that they enforced this teaching method and she thinks its stupid".

Katara looked bewildered at first and let out a moan of disapproval.

She thought being in almost all of her class with her brother was going to kill her.

As they made their way through school to the first class she happen to notice Jet close by.

She immediately blushed when they made eye contact. He started walking up to her when Sokka noticed them looking at each other. He swiftly shuffled in-between the two and just glared and Jet.

Jet smirked and glanced at Katara and said, " See you around".

That made Katara's day and the day itself just began. She thought about him and blushed knowing he was taking an interest in her.

Sokka just looked at her and with a deep tone he stated "No".

She raised her eyebrow and belted out " Its my life"

She turned around and walked towards their first class. When she got in the room she noticed a short boy with his head down exposing a thin layer of black hair on his head covering what looked like a blue arrow tattoo. He had a pair of jeans on with an orange and yellow t-shirt. An airbender, no way. She walked towards him and said "hi".

When he looked up she noticed that his eyes were the most unusually color. Grey? She thought to her self. His eyes were dull with almost no life in them at first. Then when his eyes met hers they transformed to a stormy grey and life sprang into his eyes. She giggled when this happened.

Aang realized how beautiful she was and she was just wearing a pair of jeans and a light blue shirt. He told himself! Stop come on you know the rules do you want to hurt her. No I will never do that.

He finally laughed and asked "What's so funny?"

She smiled " Nothing" she quickly said.

Sokka came running up and asked "Who are you?"

The boy stood up, bowed and said " My name is Aang" politely.

Katara elbowed her brother which made him grunt in pain.

She smiled and sat down next to Aang. They talked to each other until students filled the room.

There teacher Mrs. Pai came in and asked for everyone to stand up and introduced them self. They started with Aang.

He Said " Hi my name is Aang and if you haven't noticed I am an air bender and I am from the Southern Air temple. I am thirteen"

The Next person to introduce their self was Katara. She said " My name is Katara and I am from the Southern Water tribe. I am fourteen and love water"

After her brother and Suki went she took notice to the girl standing in front. Her eyes were milk white and she had a green t-shirt with shorts on. " Hi my name is Toph, and yes I am blind but, I can see through vibrations using earthbending. I am thirteen years old and from the Earth Kingdom. I am also the best earthbender in the world."

Katara couldn't believe the statement. Either could her brother. He was laughing to himself.

Toph turned her head in the direction of Sokka.

"Sokka was it? I wouldn't laugh."

She slammed her foot on the ground and tilted her head towards the window.

Everyone turned there head and looked at a massive boulder just hovering in the air. Toph clenched her fist making the boulder become small.

She looked at Sokka "If I ever suspect you disrespecting me again you will pay"

Sokka had a look of horror on his face and just nodded.

Mrs. Pai quickly yelled at Toph " No threats in my class Miss Bei Fong.

Katara and Aang both snickered at Sokka's sudden change in beliefs.

The next people went in order from their class. It went Jet, Haru, Zuko, Azula, Ty lee and Mai.

Both Jet and Haru are from the earth kingdom. They both looked directly at Katara when introducing themselves. Sokka also noticed and just glared at them.

After the introductions were done Mrs. Pai looked at all the students and said " You should all get to know everyone in this class because everyone here has every class together." All the classmates started to look around the classroom just to signify they understood the teacher.

That is when Katara really noticed the second boy she saw this morning. He was shorter than Jet but he was way more muscular. He also had dark brown eyes and a strong face but his hair was way longer than Jets.. She noticed he was talking to the Zuko kid with the scar on his face. She was wondering how that happened. Her thoughts were interrupted when the teacher said " Now lets go over the Lesson plan for the rest of the year".

Everyone started to listen until the bell rang for next period.

The next few classes flew by but Katara and Aang seemed to be getting along just fine. They were always laughing and Talking to each other. Everyone took notice especially Jet and Haru. They both thought Katara was hot and wanted her to them selves.

The bell rang and it was lunchtime. After everybody got their lunch they sat at a table. It was Sokka, Suki, Toph, Haru, Aang and Katara.

The group was talking about their upcoming classes and everyone's specific talent. Sokka talked about his boomerang, Suki talked about her being a warrior, Toph and Haru talked about earthbending. Katara and Aang both just said their bending abilities at the same and then continued with their own private conservation.

Katara and Aang were talking about the past year and how they got here. It was cut short when Jet came up to Katara.

He leaned close to her hear and whispered " Would you like to go on a date with me after school?"

Katara blushed and replied " N…. No I don't think my dad would like that."

Jet then asked, " Would your mom care? "

She looked shocked, She didn't say anything at all. She slowly grazed her necklace and looked down.

Jet instantly back off and apologized multiple times.

Katara exhaled and softly excused her self.

Sokka started yelling at Jet , while Aang went to find Katara. When he got out of the cafeteria he could hear her breathing. He walked over and sat down next to her. He didn't say anything at first because he was scared to make her feel worse. He final spoke up and asked " Do you want to talk about something?" and quickly stated "But if you don't want to talk about it I understand."

She looked at him and saw concern in his eyes. She took another deep breath and said "Jet asked about my mom"…

Aang just patiently waited for the rest.

"And"…

She saw Aang was looking directly into her eyes. He was about to say something but cut him of by saying

'My mother was killed when I was younger!"

Katara grabbed her blue necklace this time.

Aang instinctively knew it belonged to her mother and just held place his hand on her shoulder. She then placed her forehead on his shoulder and held back most the tears only letting a few escape.

She didn't even notice where she was until he whispered to her.

"I never knew my parents, they left me at the temple and never came back to see me".

Katara looked up slowly and saw confusion in his eyes; it went away as soon as they made eye contact. She didn't ask about it because she was to comsumed in her own thoughts.

He closed his eyes and said " You will always have memories. Cherish them and your mom will always be with you"

Katara looked at him with tears in her eyes still and asked "How?"

He softly smiled and stated " In your heart!"

She smiled and closed her eyes.

After she about a minute Aang stood up " Come on lets get back before lunch ends".

Katara nodded in agreement and they walked back to the lunchroom.

Jet slowly walked up to Katara and apologized again.

She said "Its ok you did nothing wrong it just made me think of the past."

She looked down and smiled a little remembering her mom. She looked towards Aang and that gave her the encouragement she needed.

They continued with their conservation throughout the day. When they were about to go Katara thanked Aang and said we are going to be great friends. Aang looked down and " Yeah we are"!

Katara didn't notice the guilty tone that it had. She heard Sokka yelling at her from the road. She had to go so she gave Aang a big hug and left.
