Disclaimer: I don't own A:TLA. This goes for this chapter and last chapter, because I realized I forgot to add this last chapter.

A/N- Well, here we are! The third chapter! Woohoo! I tried putting in more drama in this one than the other chapters. And I'd like to thank my one reviewer for chapter 2. Thanks a bunch!

Now, on with the story!

Jet

Toph had just stepped out of Aang's car when she was bombarded by Ty Lee, who had run to greet her. Azula, Mai, and Zuko soon followed.

"Hey Toph! What's up?" Ty Lee asked while she hugged Toph.

"Nothing much, how about you guys?" asked Toph as Ty Lee let her go.

Azula sighed. "Koko and her little gang are on the dance committee for the dance tomorrow."

"Damn, I'm really not in the mood to deal with them right now," Toph muttered.

"Why are they having a dance on a Tuesday?" asked Aang, who had come up and stood next to Toph.

"Something about 'If regular clubs can do it, so can we' or some shit like that," said Mai dully.

"Whatever, we just wanted to warn you two about it. Especially Toph," said Ty Lee.

Toph nodded her head, understanding what she meant and Aang looked down.

"Hehe, sorry about that Toph," he said sheepishly.

Toph shrugged. "It's okay Twinkle Toes. It'll give me a chance to blow off some steam," she said making a face like she was ready to kick one of those girl's asses.

"Yeah, yeah, just don't start another fight again, 'kay?" said Zuko.

"Hey, I haven't started a fight since… freshman year. And that was because Jet was bugging me," she said proudly because she had actually won that fight and had been able to keep her promise to the gang that she wouldn't start another one.

Aang scowled. He hated Jet as much as the rest of them, but he hated him more. That was because Jet had tried to take advantage of Toph because of her blindness. Right there in front of Aang. He had been so pissed that someone had tried to take advantage of his best friend, let alone some guy just trying to get a hook up. Aang still hated him for it, and it was two years later.

The group heard the warning bell for class, and Toph, Aang, and Ty Lee started walking to class. Zuko, Azula, and Mai were going to ditch frist period, as they always did on Mondays.

After they entered the building, Aang, Ty Lee and Toph went their separate ways. Ty Lee and Toph went upstairs while Aang headed down the hall. As he went, he saw a brown haired girl wearing blue who looked lost. Being the good person he was, he decided to approach her.

"Hi there, are you lost?" he asked kindly.

"Actually, I am. Can you tell me where room 3B is?" she asked hopefully.

Aang laughed. "Well, you won't find it down here. It's on the second floor. The letter refers to the floor level," he explained.

"Thank you so much," she said.

He held out his hand to her. "My name's Aang," he said.

"I'm Katara. I just moved here from Japan," she said, shaking his hand.

His smile brightened. "So you would have no idea about any American singers or actors?" he asked hopefully.

"That's right," Katara sighed. That was just another way she wasn't going to fit in around here.

"Oh my god, that's great! Toph will love you," Aang said happily.

Katara looked up confused. "Why? And who's Toph?"

Aang laughed. "Toph's my best friend and she's a famous singer here, but she hates it when her fans fawn over her. It annoys her to death," Aang explained. Then he had an idea.

"What's your lunch period?" he asked her.

"Umm… 6th," Katara answered.

'That's great! That's when all my friends and I have lunch too. You want to sit with us?" he asked.

"Sure!" she answered happily. Yes! She thought to herself. Now I don't have to sit by myself.

Aang looked down at his watch. "Oops, better get to class. I'll see you at lunch!" he said as he ran off.

Azula and Mai walked into a dessert shop that was so top knotch, you had to have at least fifty dollars on you to buy anything in there. But of course, Azula and Mai had way more than that. They sat down in a booth that had blue velvet as the seat and a marble table top.

When a waitress came they ordered, and once she was gone, Azula made a comment about she had seen the same girl trying out for a part in a movie Azula's father had starred in. Mai chuckled at the comment.

Mai turned around when she heard the tinkling of the bell over the door. She saw two boys she knew, Ghashiun and Hahn, walk in and head over to their table.

"Hey there ladies," said Hahn, trying to be smooth, but failing miserably.

"You two still ditching first period as always?" asked Ghashiun with a smirk toughing at the corners of his mouth.

"Like you're one to talk Ghashiun. We're only ditching high school, you're the ones ditching college classes," Azula said smugly.

The smirk on Ghashiun dropped immediately. He was about to retort, but Hahn cut him off.

"Okay, that's enough," he said, putting an end to the would-be fight. "We just wanted to come by and tell you about this hot new club opening tonight."

"Really? A hot new club that I haven't heard about? That's unusual," said Azula.

"First time for everything babe," Hahn said, still trying to be smooth. Mai rolled her eyes at him. He was such a flirt, but a bad one.

"All the Hollywood A-Listers will be there. No B-List sluts," Ghashiun told them.

"And it wouldn't be worth coming if you didn't come Azula," said Hahn, knowing full well that that would catch Azula attention.

"That is true. If I don't go, it definitely isn't worth it for all of the A-Listers," she said, pondering whether or not she should go or not. Mai knew full well Azula had already made up her mind; she was just waiting to see how far the boys would go to try to convince her.

Since they seemed to have nothing more to add to their case, she decided to just ruin her fun and tell them.

"Fine, I'll go," she said.

The boys' faces turned up into smiles as they sat down to tell them about the club.

(Skip to lunch…)

Aang was sitting next to Toph as the groups sat outside eating their lunch while listening to Azula tell them about a new club they were all going to tonight. Normally, they wouldn't be eating here, they'd go off campus to eat, but since Aang had said there was a new girl he wanted them to meet at lunch, they had decided to stay for one lunch.

'Wow, so this is what regular lunch looks like,' Aang thought to himself.

Toph interrupted his thoughts when she poked him in the shoulder. "So who's this new girl you wanted us to meet Twinkle Toes?" she asked him.

The whole group stopped talking and turned to Aang, wondering why he had made them stay here and eat the crappy food here instead of going to the best places to eat lunch Beverly Hills could offer.

"I met her on my way to first period this morning. Her name's Katara and she just moved here from Japan. She says she doesn't really know any American singers or actors, so she won't fawn over any of us," Aang explained.

"Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it," Toph said. Even though she said 'see' everyone knew she was referring to her special way of seeing, and not her eyes.

The group nodded in agreement with her.

"Well, I personally don't mind if she fawns over me," said Azula.

"Why would she do that? You don't even have a job," said Zuko smugly.

Azula shot death glares at her brother. She had enough money and didn't need a job. Besides, to her, work required too much… work.

Aang then spotted Katara come through the doorway looking extremely nervous. Aang got up and walked over to her.

"Hey Katara. You still want to sit with my friends and me?" he asked her.

"Sure, thanks!" she said looking relieved.

He led her over to where his friends were and introduced her.

"Everybody, this is Katara," he said cheerily. Aang sat down next to Toph again and motioned for Katara to sit next to him. Toph pushed Aang out of the way a little so she could turn to Katara.

"So let me get this straight," she started, "You have no idea who we are, right?"

"Umm… yes?" Katara said warily.

"Oh my god, I love you!" Toph said excitedly.

Katara seemed a little taken back by Toph's outburst. Aang laughed at the expression on Katara's face.

"Let me explain. First off, this is Toph, my best friend, the one I told you about," said Aang while putting a hand on Toph's shoulder. "And we're all kind of famous here, and as much as fans are great, they can get a little annoying if they just fawn over you all the time," Aang said. After that, he introduced everyone else and they continued to talk about the new club opening.

"I got a great idea!" interrupted Ty Lee. "Katara should come with us to the club opening! That would be so cool!"

The whole group nodded in agreement. "Do you think you'll be able to make it?" asked Toph.

"Probably, but I'll have to ask my dad," Katara said.

"Oh, this'll be so much fun!" said Ty Lee, clapping her hands.

Katara then looked down and realized she didn't have a drink. "Umm… is there a soda machine around here, I forgot mine," she asked, kind of embarrassed.

"Of course! I'll show you where it is!" said Ty Lee. Katara could already tell that Ty Lee was obviously the most preppy person she would probably ever meet here.

They both got up and Katara followed Ty Lee to the soda machines. Then Ty Lee decided to strike up a conversation.

"So, how do you like Beverly Hills High so far?" she asked as they reached the machines.

"It's great. The people here seem really nice," Katara said sincerely.

Ty Lee laughed. "Honey, just wait till you actually meet them."

"So, you meet any of the hunks here yet?" Ty Lee asked.

"Well, I meet this gorgeous guy named Jet," said Katara.

Ty Lee's eyes went wide. "Oh my god. Never mention Jet to Aang. Or really any of them, but especially Aang."

"Why not?" asked Katara confused.

"Because Jet was an ass to Toph two years ago, and even though it happened to Toph, it bothered Aang more."

"Why, are they going out or something?"

"No, they've been best friends since I meet them in 3rd grade, probably even before then."

"Wow, that's a long time."

"Yeah, so they've kind of grown inseparable, and when something bad happens to one of them, it bothers the other more if they couldn't do anything to help."

"So Jet did something to Toph and Aang couldn't help?"

"Yeah. Jet tried to use Toph's blindness to hook up with her, and Aang was standing right there."

"Toph is blind?" asked a stunned Katara.

"You didn't notice her eyes, how they have the film over them? Well, yeah, she is, but that never stopped her from doing anything," explained Ty Lee.

"Anyway," continued Ty Lee, "whatever you do, don't mention Jet to Aang. I mean, I don't care if you hang out with or even go out with him, just don't tell Aang."

Katara nodded. As she walked back with Ty Lee, she noticed that Toph and Aang really were acting like best friends. They were turned towards each other, talking, while the other three were talking in there own little group. She laughed when she saw Toph take a bit out of a cookie and Aang grab it away from her, holding it out on his other side.

"Twinkle Toes!" Toph exclaimed. She reached over in a feeble attempt to get her cookie back. He had one hand on her shoulder to keep her from practically crawling on top of him. She had one hand traveling up his arm towards her cookie, and Aang laughed when she muttered, "Bastard!"

Her other had pinched him in the side and he jumped, handing her back her cookie. She had a smug look on her face, and Katara sat back down, enjoying her knew friends company as they all laughed at Aang, well except for Mai, who just barely cracked a smile.

Little did she know she was being watched by non other than Jet.

Jet watched as Katara went and sat down with the one group of people he despised the most. He got up and walked over to them, determined to get her back before she was brainwashed by them.

"Hey Katara," he said smoothly. The laughter instantly died and everyone glared at him. Katara noticed Aang stiffen and Toph grab his wrist to keep him sitting down.

"You got a lot of nerve coming around here Jet. What do you want?" asked Azula darkly.

"To keep Katara from being brainwashed by you all," he retorted. He grabbed Katara by the arm and pulled her up. "Come on, let's go," he ordered her.

"No, I want to stay here," she said, yanking her arm back.

He grabbed her by the shoulder. "You are coming with me, got it."

Katara was too stunned to say anything, and Jet started to drag her away when a fist came up and hit Jet in the jaw and he went flying into a nearby table.

Katara stumbled backwards as she was releases from Jet's grip. She looked up and saw that it was Zuko who had knocked Jet.

"Look Jet," Zuko said darkly, "Katara can sit with anyone she wants. And unless you want a real fight to erupt, you'll leave right now." Everyone nodded in agreement as they shot death glares at him. Jet was ready to start a fight, but he could tell the others would be ready to jump in if that started, and that punch from Zuko had really knocked the wind out of him, so he was in no condition to fight, He decided he would have to come back with Longshot and Smellerbee later.

Jet walked away while shooting death glares at the group.

Zuko walked up to Katara. "Are you okay?" he asked her.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks," Katara said gratefully.

Zuko shrugged. "No problem," he said and went back to eating. The conversation in the group was small after that, mainly because they knew it wouldn't be the last time they ran into Jet.

A/N- Well, here's chapter 3. I hope the mini- fight scene was enough drama for now. I have more coming, well at least it is in my opinion. It's definitely longer than the rest. It's ten pages on word, so I figured it was time to stop. And it's the beginning of Zutara! I'd also like to apologize to my Hi reviewer for not being able to put in Maiko. I couldn't think of any. I might have to make it past Maiko. Anyway, I hope ya'll liked it! Let me know in a review! Please!

Thanks for reading!
