Note from the Author: Hello again people. I have the day off today and I have been so bored so I'm posting two chapters in one day. It's been a rainy shitty day so I literally have done like nothing today except right and watch movies. So once again review. It says I have a lot of viewers, but none of you are reviewing so I don't know if you like what I'm writing people! Let me know what you think will happen, let me know what you think of the characters and the personalities I'm giving them. Reviews make Zuko want Katara more ;) xoxo ~

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Chapter II

"Wow, Prince Zuko is actually early to class", their master commented when Katara and Zuko walked in. Zuko sneered and Katara laughed. She looked at their master and was shocked at how young he was. And she doesn't mean some like 30 year old something. This guy was like 20.

"A new student!" he smiled and walked over to Katara," You must be the infamous girl who beat Zorja at his own game."

Katara smiled and noted how handsome her teacher was, not as handsome as Zuko though. This guy was more kind, more gentle looking.

"I did it with ease", Katara said, which made him smile wider.

"Well welcome to history", he smiled at her. His smile was a smile wasn't like Zorja's...

"Hmmm", he looked over at the seats," You can sit..."

"She can sit next to me", Zuko sneered at him and then grabbed Katara's elbow, leading her to his desk.

"There is someone sitting next to you already", Katara mumbled and gestured to the boy who was in front of them.

"N- no, I'll move", the boy gathered up his things and moved to an empty seat a few rows ahead. Katara turned to Zuko, who was grinning like a fool. Katara rolled her eyes and sat down.

"Does everyone listen to your requests?" Katara asked Zuko.

"If they want to stay on my good side", Zuko snickered.

"What happens in they get on your bad side?" Katara smirked.

"Wouldn't you like to know..." Zuko winked and it caused Katara to turn a light shade on pink. Is he flirting? No guy has ever flirted with me... What if he's just joking around and just being friendly. Yeah! He's just trying to be nice to me and being a friend.

Katara turned her attention to their teacher.

"So for those of you are are new", he smiled at Katara then he turned to the class," My name is Master Chang and this is World History."

"Shouldn't it just be called Fire Nation history?" someone laughed from in the back row. Master Chang's mouth was set in a firm line and he huffed. Katara turned with the rest of the class to see a short, girl with very pale eyes in the back row.

"That's enough Toph", Chang scolded," One more outburst..."

"Oh, please, I'm just messing with you pretty boy", the girl named Toph laughed and Katara couldn't help but try to hide her smile. She looked at Zuko to see if he was laughing, but he was staring straight ahead, emotionless. He's so, complicated.

Chang cleared his throat at Toph's comment about him," Anyways, like I was saying, this is World History. Let's begin..."

Katara listened to Master Chang drone about history, but as the class went on, Katara realized that Toph was right. All he talked about was Fire Nation history. Katara kept waiting for him to talk about different nations, but nope, he just stuck to Fire Nation. The only time he would mention a nation was if Fire Nation had something to do with them.

"Uh, excuse me?" Katara raised her small hand.

"Yes?" Chang turned away from the board and looked at her, as did the rest of the class.

"I was just wondering what our syllabus is going to be for this class", Katara asked.

"Our syllabus? What do you mean?" Chang laughed a little. Katara thought maybe he was trying to be cute, but him laughing at her question was rather rude.

"Let me rephrase", Katara cocked her head," I want to know when we will discuss Air, Water, and Earth Nations in the future so I can better prepare myself for this class."

Chang laughed at her as did most of the class. Katara glared at most of the class, but she saw Toph wasn't laughing. She was smiling, but Katara thought it was out of respect, not mocking.

"My dear Katara, we don't have a syllabus for this class. We just learn all the nations together", Chang smiled.

"So we have been discussing other nations today?" Katara challenged. She turned to see Zuko looking at her intently, his chin resting in his hand. He was slightly smiling. She turned her attention back to Master Chang.

"Well yes, I do believe we have. I have mentioned quite a bit of the other nations", Chang looked at the board and laughed. All the girls in the class, excluding Toph and Katara, laughed with him. It was clear he was a teen heartthrob here.

"Yeah, only if it had something to do with Fire Nation", Katara pointed out.

Chang's smile was starting to fall and was being replaced by a frown," Katara, how I teach my lessons are my decisions. Our academy hired me to teach you history, and that's what I am doing."

"Are you?" Katara spoke loudly and banged her fist on her table," What's the main export of the Southern Water Tribe?"

"Well it's obviously-"

"What's their flag?" Katara fired again.

"It's uh-."

"What's the population? Who was the last waterbender known? Was there ever an Avatar from there? What's-" Katara spoke quickly.

"That is enough!" Master Chang yelled out, causing Katara to shut her mouth. People gasped at his outburst given he has never yelled at anyone.

"To the Head Master's office", he pointed to the door.

"But-!" Katara began.

"NOW!"

"So... it seems this isn't the first time today who have challenged someone", Headmaster Shao raised his eyebrow at Katara," Why is that?"

"I was just-", Katara started.

"Answer my question girl!"

"My name is Katara! The first time was because Zorja challenged me and I accepted; and I as I recalled he was quite impressed with me. Second, Master Chang is teaching world history and it isn't worldly at all. If you want to teach just about Fire Nation history, that's fine, but change the name of the class then", Katara told him, her voice filled with authority.

Headmaster Shao thought over everything she said," Well, considering Master Zorja told me marvelous things about you, I will let you off easy."

"You don't need to let her off easy at all", they heard a voice from the door. They turned and saw Azula standing with Mai and Ty Lee.

"Princess Azula, always a pleasure", Headmaster Shao bowed his head.

"I'm sure it is", Azula walked and leaned against his desk," So why is my new friend in here?"

"Master Chang sent her here for disrupting his class", he told her.

"I heard her side of the story and I think she is completely right", Azula stood and put her hands on her hips.

"Well Princess Azula, just because the girl is upset-", he started.

"Her name is Katara", Ty Lee told him and put her hand on Katara's shoulder.

"Just because Katara is unhappy with the curriculum doesn't mean I can change it", the Headmaster told them.

"You might not be able to, but my father can!" Azula threw in his face.

The headmaster sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose," Fine, Azula. Miss Katara, your wish has been granted. From now on World History will be called Fire Nation history."

Katara forced a smile and Azula beamed. I just wanted them to change the course on my own doing. Not by having Azula bully someone for me to change it. Well, if this is her way of making friends, then so be it.

"Thank you Headmaster Shao", Katara stood up and bowed to him.

"You may return to your studies", he gestured to the door and they filed out.

"How did you know I was sent there?" Katara asked Azula when they reached the hall.

"Zuko left class and told me", Azula smiled at her.

"Why didn't Zuko just come to get me?" Katara asked her. She couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed that Zuko didn't come to rescue her.

"Well as next Fire Lord he has to be seen as a proper prince and can't do anything rash", Ty Lee told her and hooked her arm through Katara's.

"Why not?" Katara asked as they walked down the hall. The last class already ended so it was time for their last class.

"It could look bad. I mean, we are the next generation. Whatever we see Zuko doing, is going to be our impression of him", Azula said grimly.

"So why aren't you going to be Fire Lord?" Katara inquired.

Azula sucked in a breath," Because Zuko is first born. If he dies then, and only then, will I become Fire Lord."

"Which would be a tragedy", Ty Lee added, looking at Azula.

"Quite", she smiled back at Ty Lee," What do you have now Katara?"

"I have Science Theory?" Katara told them. She's never heard of such a class in school, but this is Fire Nation. Everything is different here...

"None of us have that with you, not even Zuko", Ty Lee told her," The class down is down that hall, third door on the right."

"Thanks guys", Katara waved at them," I'll see you later."

They all waved and walked the other way. Katara sighed. So far school was really intense. She's had advanced combat, been late for a class, and changed the name of a class. Oh! And she made friends with the Princess of the Fire Nation even though she was ready to blow Katara's face off. AND to top it all off, she thinks she might be developing a slight crush on the future Fire Lord. Can today be over yet?

Katara reached class before the teacher had. She was grateful that there wasn't a teacher to make some snide comment to her. She sat in an empty seat near the window and just focused on the class. Just don't draw attention to yourself. Let this class be the class where it just goes by smoothly. I don't have any of my new friends or Sokka here so just lay low. Even IF you do disagree with something the teacher says.

"Hello class", an older man walked in," You all know who I am for the new student here I'm Master Zo, but just called me Zo or Z or even O blah blah blah; let's get started!"

Katara could already tell that this class was going to be interesting.

"For the new girl, I believe your name is Katara, this is Science Theory. Now I know what you're thinking. There are spirits and and just mysterious reasons for why things happen the way they do. Why are there benders? Why are we even here? Well that can all be chalked up to who knows, but I believe there is a scientific reason for it and I am here to teach that to you", he wrote several scientific formulas on his chalk board and turned around," So with that being said, let's start."

Katara's head felt like it was about to explode as she left class. They guy was just going to push as many theories as he can in his students brains.

"Katara!" she heard her brother yell her name.

"Hey Sokka", Katara smiled at her brother," I feel like I've hardly seen you today. How was your day?"

"I met a girl", he said dreamily.

"Earth to Sokka", she waved her hand in front of his face.

"Her name is Suki", he smiled, but then snapped back to reality," I hear you have had quite the day."

"Yeah, you could say that. There's so much drama here", Katara rolled her eyes. They were now in the courtyard and were walking down the stairs to the city. Their home was on the outskirts of the city.

"There isn't drama her. Your new 'friends' just are very dramatic", Sokka rolled his eyes," I don't know if you have noticed, but they are pretty intense."

"You could say that. Ty Lee seems like she likes you", Katara laughed, bumping into her brother's shoulders.

"Well I've heard from a lot of reliable sources she likes a lot of guys."

"Sokka! That's not very nice!" Katara swatted him.

"It's the truth. Besides, I only have eyes for Suki", he said all gushy like again," Seems Prince Fire Pants was into you, as much as I disapprove."

"Why would you disapprove?" Katara laughed.

Sokka looked at her like she was insane," Are you kidding? He is future Fire Lord Katara. Not to mention his family isn't known for being on the sane side. Have you seen his sister? She was ready to burn you this morning."

"Well, I wasn't exactly nice to her either this morning. It's no mystery to anyone that I wasn't to thrilled to be enrolled here", she reminded him.

"So I take it you like that you're going here now?" Sokka asked.

Katara shrugged," I'm starting too. I like Ty Lee and I think this girl in my World, I mean my Fire Nation History class is pretty cool."

"What about Zuko?" Sokka snickered.

"What about Zuko?" Katara snapped.

"You don't like him?"

"He's a good friend too. Very nice..."

"You know what I meant when I said like", Sokka laughed at his sister avoiding all topics that involved Zuko," Katara, get it through your head, that's never gonna happen. He can only marry a Princess."

"I am a Princess, need I remind you", Katara huffed.

"Your royal status doesn't hold up to Fire Lord Katara. Most people our nation even exists. If you came from the Northern Tribe, we would have a different story", Sokka pointed everything Katara was self-conscious of.

"I am proud to say I am the Princess of our tribe, no matter how small it is", Katara defended herself," And I don't care to be Zuko's girlfriend or Fire Lady so just let it go!"

"I'm just saying, don't even think about ever bringing him home. Dad would flip and I'd kill him", Sokka warned her.

"How come you can date whoever you want and I can't? What if I don't approve of this Suki girl?" Katara yelled at him. How dare he try this double sided gender crap with me!

"Because my love interest isn't related to the royal family and who's family is known for being quite intense and full of anger", Sokka reminded her," He just isn't good for you."

"How do you know what's good for me?"

"Because, you're good. He just doesn't seem good", Sokka gave his honest opinion. Katara rolled her eyes," He seems perfectly fine to me. And if he ever shows interest in me, I'm just warning you, I'm going to initiate something. That I can promise you."

Zuko hopped along the rooftops listening to Katara and her brothers conversation. His anger was growing with every word her brother said about him and his family. He was about to jump down there and challenge him, but then he felt his heart sore when Katara defended him and even his rotten sister.

"He seems perfectly fine to me. And if he ever shows interest in me, I'm just warning you, I'm going initiate something. That I can promise you." He heard Katara tell her brother defiently. He smiled down at the tan, blued eye girl. Her passion for the most littlest things were so admirable. She would make a fine Fire Lady he thought to himself. He smiled at what she said and slid down the other side of the building they were on. Katara, you don't even know what you just got yourself into.
