The door suddenly opening shocks Aang as he almost knocked on the man at the door. He nervously but hastily puts his hand back down to his side before bowing to apologize. The man that answered the door gave a hearty chuckle.

"It's fine, it's fine. Please, come in and have a seat." The man with the snow white beard held the door open for Aang offering him the seat in front of the desk.

Aang takes the seat as he watches the bearded man take his proper seat behind the desk. Looking around his office Aang is amazed to see so many pictures and trophies. The room has a burgundy type tint to it and there's a giant aquarium sitting next to the door. Aang turns around in his seat to admire the aquarium, noticing that it has two big koi fish in there. There is a white one with a black spot and a black one with a white spot.

"You like it?" the man asked, snapping Aang back to attention.

Aang nods and smiles.

"It's an old gift from one of the teachers here at the school. Their names are Tui and La. They're rumored to be the physical embodiment of the moon spirit and the ocean spirit in an eternal dance of push and pull."

There was a brief pause in what he said as they both have their gaze fixated on the two koi fish swimming in what looks to be a perfect circle with one another.

"But, enough about that." Aang turns around and focuses his attention back on the man, "Allow me to welcome you to Avatar High."

The man sticks his arm out in front of me. It's that strange ritual again that Toph showed him. Aang sticks his hand out as well and grasps the other man's hand and they shake quickly before releasing.

"My name is Roku. I am the principal of this fine establishment. And you must be Aang. We've heard from Gyatson about your situation and we welcome you hear with open arms and an open mind."

Aang raises his question as Principal Roku finishes his statement. Roku nods at Aang allowing him to speak.

"A girl helped me out earlier. She had on a green shirt with some kind of insignia on it. She told me I was out of uniform but there was also a guy I bumped into and his shirt was red. Is there a reason for that?"

Roku chuckles at Aang, "Very observational, young man. The colors at this school are a representation and embodiment of the students themselves. You see, Avatar High is not your average high school. We're a school of rigor and grit thus our students are competing to be the very best."

Aang looks at Roku even more confused about the colors now than he was before. Roku notices the muddled look on Aang's face and sighs. Roku takes a deep breath in before exhaling to try and explain in more simply for Aang.

"First, let's talk about the colors: Blue, Red, Green, and Yellow. These colors all represent different elements that make up this world. Blue is water, red is fire, green is earth, and yellow is air. Before entering the school each student had to take a placement test to see which of these four teams they would fall under. After they're team has been decided we will provide them with their uniform."

Aang nods, understanding a lot better now than he did before.

"Every two weeks we have competitions. They can range from a task as simple as a sack race to something bigger such as a science fair. The point is we want to give every student an equal opportunity to gain points. The point system is as such: 100 points for first place, 75 points for second place, 50 points for third place, and 25 points for last."

Aang takes out his school agenda and marks down the point system in the note section of the book. Principal Roku then takes out some papers from inside of his desk and flips through them before he pulls out a single piece placing it between the two of them.

Roku smiles but there's something about the way he does. It's not a smile of happiness almost as if it's a smile of hope.

"Well, young Aang. It seems that you've been selected into the elusive air team."

Roku pushes and holds a button on the intercom on his desk.

"Please send in the freshman student president. Thank you." He releases the button.

"Well, young Aang. It seems like our little time together has come to an end. For now, at least. If you have any questions or concerns about this school or the students that inhabit it, please, never hesitate to come see me." Roku gets up and opens the door for Aang telling him to sit in the waiting area for the student president.

Aang bows to Principal Roku then turns around to walk to the waiting area. He takes a seat but not even two minutes have passed before the door opens up. In the doorway stands a girl with brown skin, shoulder length brown hair, and beautiful eyes as crystal blue as the ocean's water. The blue shirt she's wearing compliments everything about her. She goes and talks to the lady at the desk and turns her head to Aang before walking up to him.

"Hi there!" she smiles at him, "You must be Aang!"

Aang's cheeks feels like they're on fire, before she could introduce herself Aang quickly stands up and reaches his hand out to introduce his self.

"I'm Aang! It's nice to meet you. The girl chuckles at Aang before she shakes his hands. This is the second time Aang has made physical contact with a girl. Her hands are a lot softer than Toph's. More slick as well. The contact made Aang blush, he turns his face to the side to try and hide it.

"My name is Katara. It's very nice to meet you."
