Jet and Katara made their way to English. The teacher was at the board writing down the assignment. Katara just stayed quiet as she took her seat next to Jet. The class was busy talking amongst themselves waiting for class to start. Katara looked up at the board, a small smile played on her lips as she noticed the class would be learning about Romeo and Juliet.
"Alright class settle down and take your seats" Ms. June said her dark brown eye looking at all the students scurry to their seats. She smiled, before stepping away from her desk and handing out books and folders.
"This semester we will be studying poetry and playwrights. Can any of you name a famous poet or author whom wrote a play?" She asked as she made her way around the room; she heard some of the students groan and sigh.
Katara raised her hand, waiting patiently for her chance to answer the question; her favorite author was Shakespeare and Edgar Allen Poe.
"Yes... Miss Winters?" Ms. June smiled at her waiting to hear her answers.
"Well, there's Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, and of course Edgar Allen Poe who were all famous poets. Then there's Charles Dickens, William Shakespeare who are well known playwright geniuses." Katara answered with a smile and lots of confidence. Jet looked at her with at look of awe as her had no idea she would know anything about the subject.
"Well done. I know most of you will be uninterested in this subject, but in this class it will not be boring. Our first play we will be reading is William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet." Ms. June paused smirking as there were many groans and complains from the students.
"Being that this is a Play about two different families that are feuding with one another, I would like to place us with in groups. Once in these- "she paused as the door was opened, as a new student entered the room.
This student was wearing a blood red shirt that had gold dragon images on it he also wore black skinny jeans. His black hair was unruly and hung in his eyes as if to hide them. Yet you could still see the piercing golden color that stood out against the blackness of his hair.
"Sorry, I'm late Ms. June; I had to escort a new student to their class." The students voice was husky, yet surprisingly soft. As he handed her an excuse note.
"That's quite alright, Mr. Phoenix, just grab a book, folder and find your seat" Ms. June said as she set the note on her desk before facing the class once more.
Katara glared at the new student, she knew that it was wrong, but she couldn't help but glare.
Why, why does he have for be in MY English class? As if my day wasn't already ruined just knowing his sister and him were at the same school as her and Sokka.
Zuko took the only other available seat which unfortunately was next to Katara. He ignored her constant glaring as he listened to Ms. June call out students for groups.

Ms. June called out each student along with which parts they were assigned to. Katara rolled her eyes, Great, I love that I get to play Juliet, but why did I have to be played opposite HIM.
"Ms. June, can't I have a different role?" she asked sweetly, but Ms. June shook her head. Katara sighed, hanging her head; she looked towards Zuko out of the corner of her eye. He seemed to be at a lost as he had been told he would play Romeo.
For the rest of the class it was going over what was expected of the students and what would be their homework. He stood up as soon as the bell rang signaling the end of the class, as he made his way towards the door, he bumped into Katara who was knocked off balance.
"Oh, I'm sorry." He said offering his hand to help her.
"I'm fine, I don't need your help" Katara hissed at him before rushing away from the classroom leaving a shocked Zuko behind her. Jet following silently as they made their way to her locker before the next class started.
As they were standing at her locker Zuko passed by his sister following him to their next class. As they passed Azula being the way she was, pushed her shoulder into Jet snickering as he was knocked into the lockers. He growled at them his eyed showing nothing but hatred for the siblings.
"Jet are you ok? What happened?" Katara asked then noticed he was glaring daggers at the Phoenix kids, she sighed and pulled him to their next class. Jet heading to Math class while Katara had water bending with Master Kurek, or so she thought.
