Hey everyone, it's izzy!
I have a new story for you guys that are loyal readers of mine
Hehe

So before your read it you should know a few minor details.
1: Katara, Sokka, and Aang are all in highschool.
2: Ages; Katara 16, Sokka 17 and Aang 16. I tweaked it, so what.
3: This is a modern story, but they can all bend. Except Sokka. Poor him. ;D

Anywho, this takes place right after Katara's Junior year of highscool, and this story will progress to tell her summer after this huge event happens in her life that permanetly changes her until she meets Aang. She is instantly drawn to him and cannot help but feel safe and warm when he is around.

I suck a the summary shit, excuse my language. Rated M for later chapters, but I don't think it will be too graphic.

Dedicated to Avatar209, who sparked this absouletly wonderful idea, and is going to be a part of this story until the end. I hope she enjoys the story as much as I enjoyed writing it in honor of her inspiration.

Disclaimer: Oh, I must. I do not own these characters, but I do own the plot and the lake.

Katara's life had always been hard, starting with her mother being killed by a crazy man when she was 5. She was one of the most popular girls in her high school, and she was also one of the most talked about. And after what had happened with her boyfriend Jet, she was also one of the most hated. Everyone thought she had helped kill him, but the truth was he was drunk and crashed himself.

But no one believed her. So now she was hated.

School had just ended and she and Sokka's dad had left to rebuild, leaving them with their GranGran. Sokka had asked if he and Katara could go to their lake house for the summer, and she had said sure. They had packed up their stuff and left the next day of their vacation. Sokka drove and Katara sat in the front seat, listening to her iPod and watching the scenery go by. She was searching through her songs when she found the one that she wanted to listen to.

Sha, Sha, Sha, Sha
I probably shouldn't say this
But at times I get so scared
When I think about the previous
Relationship we shared
It was awesome,
But we lost it
It's impossible for me
Not to care
And now we're standing in the rain
But nothings ever going to change
Until you hear, my tears

Katara sighed as the chorus descried Jet and she shut her eyes. She needed to forget about him, but she knew that after what he had done it was going to be impossible. She felt Sokka take her and she looked at him.

"Remember, it's summer. We're going to the lake. No one we know is going to be there. It's going to be alright." Sokka said, smiling at his sister. She smiled back and rested her head against the window, slowly falling asleep.

O.o

Sokka pulled into the driveway, trying to do it as gently as possible to not wake Katara. He parked the car and got out, walking over to Katara's door. Sokka gently shook her, hoping she would wake up and walk to her room herself. But she just waved him off. Sokka sighed. He wasn't strong enough to carry Katara up the stairs to her room. He walked to the trunk of the car and opened it. He pulled out his suitcase and then tried to pull Katara's out. Her trunk must have weighed a ton, because he couldn't pick it up.

"Do you need help with that?" a voice said from behind Sokka. He jumped slightly and turned around. A boy a little younger than Sokka was standing right next to the mail box. He was wearing dark blue jeans, a white t-shirt and a blue beanie over his dark brown hair. Sokka couldn't help but notice the arrows running down his arms and to his hands.

"Sure. It would be nice. My sister didn't pack light." Sokka said as the boy walked over to him and grabbed both of Katara's bags out of the trunk. Sokka picked up his suitcase and walked to the front door of the house.

"Is your sister inside already?" The boy asked Sokka as he unlocked the front door of the house. Sokka shook his head.

"No. She's asleep in the car." He said, nodding to the car. The boy looked over at Katara and stared for a moment, taking in her sleeping form. He followed Sokka up the stairs and placed the bags in front of the room that Sokka said was Katara's.

"You can just leave them next to the door. If she packed them, she can put them inside." Sokka said as he walked back down to the car to unbuckle Katara's seat belt.

"Aren't you going to wake her?" The boy asked as Sokka walked away. Sokka shook his head.

"I tried, but she just waved me off. And I'm not exactly strong enough to carry her all the way up the stairs to her room." He said, watching the boy.

"I could do it." The boy said, and Sokka raised an eye brow at him.

"Go ahead." Sokka said, leaving the door open as he walked back inside.

The boy slipped his arms around Katara and picked her up out of her seat. He shut the door behind him and headed for the house.

Katara was asleep when a pair of strong warm arms went around her and picked her up. She could feel the heat of someone's chest on her face and she snuggled closer to it, feeling safe for the first time in months. She wrapped her arms around the person's neck and buried her face in their neck. She knew it wasn't Sokka, but by the scent she could tell it was a boy. She opened her eyes a little bit and saw a white t-shirt. She held onto his neck tighter as she felt a bed below her. He pulled her hand off his neck gently. Katara opened her eyes just in time to see him walking to the door.

"Wait." She said her voice hoarse. He turned around, his grey eyes looking with hers.

"Please stay." She managed to say. The boy smiled at her sand sat down in the chair next to Katara's bed. She smiled at him, trying again.

"No, stay here." She said, scooting back and patting the bed next to her. They boy tried to hid his blush as he smiled back at her and lay down next to her. Katara snuggled up close to him, resting her face on 

his upper arm. He wrapped his arms around her slowly. He heard he sigh as she soon fell to sleep, her arms wrapped tightly around the boy.

Sokka walked up the stairs to Katara's room, wondering if she was alright. He walked into her room and stopped, taking in the scene. Katara was lying on the bed next to the guy with the blue arrows, her arms wrapped tightly around him. Sokka almost decked the guy when he saw the peaceful look on Katara's face. It was one he hadn't seen on her face when she slept in 2 months. Sokka sat down on the chair next to the bed and the boy opened his eyes. A blush rose on his cheeks as he saw Sokka sitting there.

"I—"The boy started but Sokka cut him off.

"It's fine. I haven't seen her this peaceful in months." Sokka said his eyes on his sister.

"Why not?" The boy asked, looking down at Katara with soft eyes. Sokka paused for a moment as he contemplated how to say this and if he even should. But he saw the soft expression on the boys face the slight smile on his sister and told him.

"Well, no one knows the whole truth about that night, but back in May, Katara was home alone and something happened with her boyfriend Jet. He must have gotten drunk afterwards because he got on his motorcycle and get into a bad accident. He was dead before anyone found him. And because Katara was home alone and no one can vouch for her whereabouts that night, most people think Katara had something to do with it. So all of Jet's "fan-girls" started to shun and brutally taunt Katara. She lost all of her "friends" and she became depressed to say the least. Only me, my girlfriend Suki and best friend Zuko believed her. But she's never told anyone what happened that night, not even me." Sokka said his eyes glued to his hands in his lap. The boy looked down at Katara with the most caring and loving look in his eyes. Sokka smiled and introduced himself, realizing that he didn't know the guys name.

"I'm Sokka, by the way." Sokka said, holding out his hand.

The boy looked up. "I'm Aang." He said shaking Sokka's hand, his hand immediately going back to Katara's body. Sokka watched and he knew, deep down, that Aang was going to play a huge part in their summer. He just knew it.

So, what do you think?
I know what you are thinking, oh boy another one of those where they are in highschool and the drama the drama, but NO! This is not about that kind of stuff. it's about a summer where Katara's life is changed and she meets a boy that she cannot help but fall for.
