Ok Hey people! Plz leave Reviews
Friday rolled around quickly for Katara and Ai. The girls had gone to Principle Lei the next morning before classes started where they told her the story that Oith had threatened Katara and that she felt unsafe, a story that was only partly true. Oith was looked after very closely by the teachers until two days later, when he was caught by Mr. Iroh, assaulting a seventh grade girl. He was expelled.
But nevertheless, the memory of Oith's assault disappeared just as quickly as the week went by and soon not one of the four people who had anything to do with the situation remembered it. The teachers loaded their students down with homework, just like usual and they were so occupied in their studies that Katara and Ai didn't realize that Friday was at their feet until they looked on their cell phones Thursday night.
While talking on the phone Thursday night, Katara and Ai chatted away about what they would do at Ai's house, the clothing that would be necessary and riding four wheelers through the woods.
"Ohh can I drive?! Pleaseee!!" Katara begged into the phone.
"Have you ever driven a four wheeler before?" Ai responded.
"Well no, but that's why you're going to teach me!" Katara perked up, convinced that she would some way or another get to drive a four wheeler.
"I don't know… we'll have to see what my dad says… ok, but here's the deal…"
"Yes?"
"So we're going to go out some ways from my house and go into the woods, where there is going to be a pasture. A house is located there, but it's nothing fancy, just a place for my dad and his friends to stay so they are able to easily get up in the morning and hunt. But there is going to be a bonfire party out there tomorrow night and that's what we're going to, so dress warm. My dad and brother are going to be at the house for most of the time, packing so they will be able to go hunting in the morning. We shouldn't really see them at all."
"Alright, well that's sounds cool… who is all going to the bonfire? Anyone I might know?"
"Oh, no, just a bunch of my parent's friend. We will probably be the youngest people there. Well except for this cute little girl. She's like four and her name is Elli. She is so adorable and loves to play!"
"AWWWW! I love little kids!"
The girls talked for an hour more about the subject of what they would be doing at Ai's house. The whole time Katara had a deep regretful feeling in the pit of her stomach about not getting to meet the hot guy from the picture, but she never said this aloud.
Friday, Katara brought her blue bag that had a scene of the ocean to school and left it in her last period class, Insights, a class for the intellectual students that did not get challenged enough in their other classes.
Ai, Katara, and Toph had a usual day of lab experiences gone wrong, girls fighting in the hallway over a guy, and flirting with guys in their classes. While this kept them excited and alert, they still couldn't wait for the day to end. Ai and Katara could not wait to get to the bonfire that night, and Toph had a date with her boyfriend, Jordy, whom she had been going out with for ten months. Each girl watched and waited as the eight hours of the school day ticked by minute by minute, second by second, never seeming to end.
3:05 P.M. finally arrived as signaled by the week's final bell that rang through the school to the awaiting students' ears. Katara and Ai skipped up the stairs that separated the seventh and eighth grade halls ways, as well as led to the front of the school, and skipped down the hall in linked arms while singing "We're off the see the wizard!" Toph was already out there with Jordy, discussing their date plans. Katara and Ai stood close by behind a column to spy on their conversation, which they knew Toph wouldn't mind them doing.
"Come on now?! Do I have to?" Jordy whined to Toph.
"Yes." Toph's voice was stern and unyielding.
"I don't want to though."
"I've got it all; you wouldn't have to do a thing."
"Except humiliate myself!"
Ai and Katara guessed that Toph did her classic tearing up sad face that she did only towards Jordy and her parents whenever she wanted something they were refusing to do because they heard Jordy release a heavy sigh.
"Fine, but it's only because I love you and can't stand when you do that. If anyone asks, it was NOT my idea!"
Toph squealed with delight.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you! You're going to make the best bunny in the world!"
At this moment Katara and Ai chose to include themselves in the conversation. They stepped out from behind the column with large grins across their faces. Jordy saw them instantly and shook his head.
"No! Don't you dare tell them what you are making me go through Toph!" Jordy said this as he grabbed Toph by the hand and dragged her over to lean against his chest, away from the other two.
"Bunny?" Katara asked the smile still on her face.
"Kio is having a costume party in honor of Costume Day, and I asked Jordy to go. I'm dressing up as a female magician; he's going to be my bunny from the hat!" Toph explained with glee in her voice.
Ai and Katara let the laughter they were trying to conceal slip and eventually Jordy and Toph were laughing along with them.
Catching her breath Katara told Toph and Jordy to have a good time, and she and Ai walked around to find people to talk to. Ai found a person whom Katara was not too fond of, so she went to find Aang.
Katara was alerted that her ride was here when she suddenly heard a shriek bellow from her pocket. She silenced the phone and quickly gathered her things and walked to the car. The two girls waved goodbye to Aang and Toph and were on their way.
Katara sat next to Ai in the back seat and listened as Ai's mother joked with them about her age and how back in the old days there would not be this and that while she looked out the window at the view passing by. The trees were already bare and the trees that did have leaves were yellow and red in color. She loved the coloring and got lost in her thoughts for a minute until Ai hit her with a book across the shoulder.
"Ouch." Katara said while turning to face away from the window and look daggers at Ai for hitting her.
"Katara… I have to tell you something." Ai said with a very serious look on her face.
"Um… Ok?"
"Do you have to FORT!?" Ai said the last word in a very deep British accent. It took Katara a second to understand, but when she did she shook her head and laughed.
They arrived at a heavenly one story brick house, located off of a gravel road far from the city. The house sat in the middle of a big pasture with small juvenile trees lining the gravel driveway. There was a creek down a slope from the house and cows were seen graving on a hay bell in the distance. A pond sat just off of the driveway and had a small dock that looped out over the dark water, perfect for swimming in the summering months. The land was beautiful and Katara had to hold herself back from jumping out of the car right then and there to go exploring.
Ai's mother unlocked the door and let it fall open, stepping back for the girls to enter a small entrance hall that separated from the living room by two half walls and decorative wooden bars. As the door opened two tabby cats ran out and to a food bowl set beside a kitty litter box that sat against the wall of the garage. A very frisky collie puppy greeted Katara as she was taking off her shoes in the hall. The puppy, whose name she found out was Sumi, jumped up into Katara's lap as she sat down on Ai's tie dyed bed brimmed over with pillows of all shapes, sizes and colors. Katara petted the sweet puppy and let her lick her face.
"Eww! What are you doing!?" Ai exclaimed in a disgusted tone , seeing what Sumi was doing to Katara's face.
"What? Is there something wrong?" Katara said lifting her face and wiping the dog slim from her face with her sleeve.
"That is so gross. Why do you let her lick your face!? You don't know where her tongue has been!"
"Well first of all, a dog's mouth is cleaner than a human's mouth. Plus I love the smell of puppy breath!" Katara smiled and set the puppy on the ground to stand up.
"So can we go explore now!? Please!?" Katara said heading out the door of Ai's room and into a hallway leading into a second living room.
"Wait! Can we check my email real quick? I'm expecting an email from my cousin regarding tonight." Ai said while running past Katara and heading to the computer that stared in the direction of the door and sat on the other side of one of the walls that overlooked the first living room to turn it on.
"Sure why not… "Katara responded sitting down in the seat on the side of the computer next to where Ai had plopped herself down.
The computer took a few minutes to upload, at which the girls wasted by taking pictures of themselves with Ai's mother's camera and eating sour patch kids that they had found on the computer table. When they finally got the computer running and email up it took only a second to respond to all Ai's mail, with one message from her cousin telling them that she would not be able to make the festivities of the night, but the rest of the emails were mostly from Katara and Toph. They logged onto Msn to see who was just playing around on the computer like they were. They found that the guy Ai was crushing on had logged on the minute after they had, and they instantly started to chat with him. The conversation with the boy continued on for two hours, the girls not realizing that night had come over the house and the time was drawing closer for the party.
With the turn of the door knob, the girls' attention was directed towards the door where a young man walked through the threshold.
