Chapter 4

It was the last class of the day: Science. Aang sat across from me, so it was hard to stop peeking at him every time the teacher looks away.
His eyes are beautiful. I bet a lot of girls like him, besides Meng and I.
If other girls do like him, then I am hopeless. There are a lot of pretty girls at this school, and I am not one of them.
The teacher, Mrs. Laurn, put on a video about Outer Space. "We'll watch this and then I'll pass out a paper for your notes.
She turned of the light and sat at her desk, doing some paper work.
I peeked at Aang and saw him playing with his pencil.
"You don't like Science, do you?" I whispered to him.
He looked up at me and set his pencil down. "Um, not really... I have a C in this class, so that explains it." He whispered back.
I giggled. I have an A and he has a C.
"So, where are you taking me for the date?" I asked him. I was blushing, trying to stop staring into his eyes.
He blushed, also. "Well, where would you like to go?"
"Sshh!" The teacher hissed.
I quieted down. "Um, no where, I mean... you pick."
He smiled. "How about a picnic in the Maya Garden?"
"What's that?" I asked curiously.
"It's a really huge garden with a bunch of flowers and a water fall and a trail and everything." He said excitingly.
It sounded interesting. "I would love to go, Aang." I reached my hand across the table and picked up his pencil. It was green, shiny, and sharp, and it's eraser was white.
"It's pretty." I said.
Aang blushed. "Um, uh... You have it." He said.
I looked up at him. "What? But it's yours, I can't take it."
"Yes you can. Someone pretty deserves something pretty." He was talking about me.
I sighed. "I'm not pretty, and I don't deserve this." I insisted.
"Yes you are, Katara. Your the prettiest girl in this whole entire school!" He claimed, after realizing that he said too much.
I blushed and accepted the pencil. "I'll use it everyday." I promised him.
"Sshh! Don't make me come over there." The teacher hissed again.
After that, Aang and I stopped talking and watched the video.

After class was over, I walked out of the classroom towards detention.
Aang raised his eyebrow and ran to catch up with me. "I thought your locker was the other way?" He asked.
I blushed. "Oh, um, I-I have... detention." I finally said, ashamed.
Aang laughed.
I was annoyed. "What's so funny?"
He laughed again. "It's just that, so do I!" He pulled out his detention ticket.
I loosened up and laughed, too.
"How did you get detention?"
Aang blushed. "Um, well," He said. "I was kind of...Well, uh..."
"It's okay, Aang, you don't have to tell me." I said.
Aang breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, then how did you get detention? I thought you were Mrs. Perfect at school?"
I smiled. "Well, it was in cooking when..." Then I stopped to realize that I had detention because Meng and I fought over him.
It was quiet. After a few minutes, Aang could see I wasn't going to tell how I got detention, too.
We arrived at detention and sat down by each other.
"Aang and Katara sittin' in a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N.G!" We heard a familiar voice snicker behind us.
We turned around, only to find out that Sokka, Toph, Zuko, Mai, Ty Lee, Jet, Suki, Haru, Yue and Meng were behind us.
