Glad you all liked the story! Here's the next chapter! Lots of fluff in this chapter!

The next day I was allowed to go back to school. Unfortunately I had to get a cast for my wrist, and I had to use crutches so I didn't make my ankle any worse. I wasn't looking forward to today. I carried all of my books in my backpack and headed to my first class. English, room 126 was my first stop. I sat down next to Yue. She's been my friend since 5th grade.

We sat through a long boring hour of lectures. Ms. Wu, our English teacher, was nice but she just went on and on about how passing this class will affect our destinies, and that if we didn't pass we'd have no future at all. As Ms. Wu went on Yue asked what happened to my ankle, and wrist. I filled her in with the whole story and then she sat decorating my cast with her signature.

I looked around the room as Ms. Wu went on. I saw Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee. Mai, Azula, and Ty Lee, however are not my friends. Azula is Zuko's sister, and she's not any nicer than he is. Nobody wants to mess with them. Jet was in this class too. He likes me, but no, matter how much he begs, I will not go out with him. He just uses girls to get what he wants, kinda like Zuko.

Just then the bell rang and first period ended as Ms. Wu gave us our homework assignment. Now I had to get to History. I was stopped many times though because everyone wanted to sign my cast. As I walked farther down the hall I saw a familiar face. "Hey Katara!" said Aang. "Feeling better?"

"Yeah…I guess." I replied

As we continued our conversation Zuko walked over to us. "What happened to you?" he asked me as if he were innocent.

"Like you don't know." I said as I gave him a dirty look "Just leave me alone!"

"Wow. Such a pretty face, and yet such poor manners." He said lifting my chin.

I jerked away from him and yelled "Don't touch me!"

"Fine, I'm leaving" he said putting his hands in the air. But instead of leaving like he said he would he started to walk away and then used his foot to knock down one of the crutches I was using. I let out a small yelp as the other crutch started to fall as I lost my balance. I reached my arms out and grabbed onto Aang as he came forward to catch me. My arms wrapped around his neck as he grabbed my waist to support me. I was just thankful I didn't kill myself. We both blushed.

I held onto Aang's shoulder and yelled at Zuko, "You JERK! I'm going to kill you!" I said letting go of Aang and trying to run after Zuko. Twisted ankle or no twisted ankle, I wasn't going to let him get away with this! Then I felt someone holding me back. Aang grabbed my waist firmly and held me back. I couldn't go anywhere. He is so much stronger than he looks.

"Katara, stop let me handle this!" he said. I stopped and he let go and walked over to Zuko. I stood where he had left me and watched what he was doing.

When he got by Zuko he spoke. "I'm not going to tell you again! Leave her alone!" Aang yelled. Then he punched Zuko in the stomach. Zuko clutched his stomach and Aang punched him in the face. Zuko fell to the floor gasping for air. Then Aang walked back over to me. He picked up my crutches and handed them to me.

"Are you okay?" he asked me his voice full of concern.

"Yeah, thanks to you." I said

"Oh, it was nothing." He replied

"No, it was something." I reassured him. "Thank you so much."

"You're welcome." He said flashing that goofy grin again.

"So see you at lunch?" I asked hopefully

"Um…sure." He said as excitement filled his eyes.

He walked away as I stood there alone in the hall thinking about what just happened. However my thoughts were interrupted when I heard the bell ring. I was late. I got to History and sat down as Mr. Pakku began class.

This class was a little more interesting though because he talked to us about the ancient history of bending. Too bad we have to keep our bending secret if we can bend. Most people can't because everyone who can is put in jail. It's interesting to hear about how our ancestors changed the world, and it's not fair that we can't do the same. I hope to change that one day. I wonder if Aang is a bender.

After History was over I went to Art. This class is my favorite because I can express all of my feelings on paper. I don't think I'm a good artist but people go on and on about how good I am. I started to sketch in my notepad. All I did was sketch what I was thinking about and before I knew it I had two pictures fully finished.

One was a picture of Aang beating up Zuko and the other was just of Aang showing off his goofy grin. I thought about it and realized that I couldn't stop thinking about Aang. And I wasn't annoyed by it either…I kinda liked it. There was something about Aang that made me want to be with him more. Lunch is soon, I can't wait to see him. Just then the art teacher, Mr. Iroh, came up to me and spoke. "Very good Katara" he said and then turned back toward the class.

Then the lunch bell rang. "Remember class, you must feel the art come to you." Said Mr. Iroh as everyone left. I gathered my things and headed to the Cafeteria. When I got there Toph, Yue, and Sokka were sitting at a table waiting for me. I sat down with my friends and looked around. I didn't see Aang. Where could he be?

I had fun writing this chapter. Please R&R so I can continue.
