I am so tired it feels like I'm going to die of exhaustion. I've been doing a heavy load of things throughout the week. I also figured if Aang can't make the first move, and admit his feelings, he needs a push; therefore I'm adding Haru in this story ;) if you know what I mean. The Jealousy always works people! By the way I will have Katara's club outfit link and hairstyle in my profile. Finding guy outfits are a little bit harder, so for right now I will only have the girls' outfits. Anyway we left off with Toph and Katara thinking on Yakone's offer. So here it is without further adieu…
P.S. Suki will not be in this chapter

Chapter 4
"Yo Katara. Yo Toph. You in here?" Sokka asked as he walked through the entry way to Toph's home. Toph had started to live by herself two months ago; her parents are taking care of business some where else for now, and would not be returning for a total of four months. Katara usually stays with her best friend or her best friend stays with her. Sokka walked into the large kitchen seeing muffin baskets and immediately grabbed one.
"Yes you are welcome in home snatch my muffins without asking it's on the house." Toph said sarcastically she smiled as she felt his embarrassment through his vibrations. He said 'sorry' with his mouth full of the muffin. It didn't seem as if he was sorry, he kept eating them.
"Don't blame me. The drive took a long while," He explained. "and where is Katara?"
"Okay it wasn't a long drive at all meathead. You guys live five minutes away from me, and SugarQueen is still getting dressed. We meet Yakone after school."
"I don't. Like. That. Guy." Sokka admitted his teeth clenched. "It's like I've seen him somewhere before. Just be careful."
Toph only nodded in his direction and started eating a muffin herself.
Katara
Okay my hair smells like jasmine and lotus blossoms, that's a good start. Now I need to choose the clothes for today. Katara thought nervously to herself. She and Toph were supposed to meet Yakone right after school; except she wasn't panicking over Yakone she was panicking over Aang. She wondered how he would like her to dress. Katara opened the closet door, revealing over three hundred shirts, pants, and skirts. Toph had bought Katara a load of clothes since she practically stays over here. After ten minutes of deliberating she chose a white spaghetti strap shirt, white sheer blouse, and jean shorts. She had chosen an extra minute picking the perfect accessories and shoes. She decided with white flats, gold earrings, and a black purse. Her hair in a ponytail. I hope Aang likes this, wait who am I to care what he thinks. She raced down the stairs grabbing an apple.
"It's about time you came SugarQueen, we were worried you got lost in the house." Toph joked. The three walked out of the door, and decided to walk to school since it was only a couple blocks away. They had discussed the Yakone deal amongst each other, and Sokka's over protectiveness. Katara saw Aang, Mai, Suki, and Zuko on the front steps of the school hanging out. Cleary waiting for them.
"Hey Katara." Aang said flatly. Katara was about to say a perky 'hi' until she fell on the ground. She didn't know what happened. She looked up to see a guy next to her rubbing his head with his hand. Aang immediately jumped up.
"You hurt my friend!" he yelled. He ran over in a split second and picked the guy up by his hoodie the guy's feet off the ground. Aang was about to deliver the blow, until Katara stomped on Aang's foot. Now you want to be over protective? Guys are so stupid when it comes to feelings. Katara looked at the handsome man; he was at least one year older. He wore a green hoodie, some ripped jeans, and some black converse. His brown hair fell to his neck. He was cute for the skater type. Katara walked over and picked up his black skateboard and gave it to him, a warm smile on her face. Aang only grimaced due to the sore foot he had just earned; for protecting her honor.
"T-thanks. I'm sorry." He apologized sincerely.
"No problem, you must be new here. I'm Katara." She stuck out her hand and he shook it softly. She noticed Aang glaring at the two. What was his problem? Has he ever heard of being friendly?
"I'm Haru, I'm a junior." He explained. Katara smiled and took his large hand in hers and led him up the steps.
"I can show you around, this place is pretty big. I just got here a couple of days ago too." Katara explained. She suddenly whipped around as she heard Aang say her name. A look of jealousy etched in every angle of his handsome face. She saw Mai filing her nails but a small smile on her face. She saw the others smiling as well.
"Yes Aang?" she asked.
"I can show him around. You have to worry about Yakone and his offer."
"No I'm fine." She answered back.
"Okay is this guy your boyfriend or something?" Haru asked embarrassed and eased away from Katara.
"Yes!" Sokka, Suki, Mai, and Zuko agreed in unison to Haru's question. Aang didn't seem to mind, he only wanted Katara away from the guy. She raised a brow and rolled her eyes shortly after.
"No he's not. C'mon Haru I will show you to your first class." Katara smiled the two walked off down the hallway exploring the rooms. Mai stood and looked at a fuming Aang.
Normal POV
"I told your boring ass If you made the first move you wouldn't be in this position." She said flatly.
"You're always boring." Suki pointed out to the dagger throwing woman.
"Yeah but I made the first move on Zuko. Look at us now." She said matter of factly. The school day went on, jealousy hung thick in the air, especially during lunch time. Katara and Haru were sitting at a separate table having small talk. Zuko gave a short laugh seeing Aang stare the two down.
"Oh Aang, Aang, Aang, Aang. You blew your chance buddy… that's actually a good thing. I won't have to worry about my sister." Sokka said eating a spoonful of pudding. They all gave him a look of shock.
"But she's with Haru. You make no sense Sokka." Zuko snarled. Toph held a huge grin on her face, as she felt familiar vibrations walk her way. She felt Jet sit down beside her and kiss her lips gently and pulled back, placing his arm around her shoulders.
"Sup'" Jet waved and pulled out a cookie and took a large bite. Their attention was pulled away from the freedom fighter to hear Katara's laughter. Aang growled lowly to himself. This Haru punk kept making weird faces, and pointing to his skateboard making the beautiful waterbender laugh. All the students in the university paused as they heard the intercom turn on.
"Sorry to disturb you students. But I would like Ms. Katara Aqua and Ms. Toph Beifong to the principal's office." Katara and Toph turned to look at each other and stood slowly. They kept getting 'your in trouble' and 'ooo's' they finally made it out of the cafeteria and to Mr. Roku's office. They were stunned to see Yakone standing there his arms crossed and a smile on his lips. They also saw two boys a couple years younger than them.
"Mr. Waters? What are you doing here?" Katara asked her eyes wide with suspicion.
"No need to fret. I came to take you to see Water Surfing Head Quarters. I assume you two will be going to the beach after school or whatever. I want you to sign my contract," He announced, and suddenly pointed to the two boys standing beside him.
"This is Noatuck and his little brother Tarrlok."
The women waved at the younger boys and were lead outside. They were met with a large escalade limo. All of them entered the limo easily and it took off. They were discussing plans with the elder business man. He only smiled shortly and waved them off.
"Whoa." Katara exclaimed quietly. She was awestruck as she saw a large building made of glass. It was right by the water also, fountains also surrounded the large building. They stepped outside the limo and walked to the entry way.
"Come ladies." Yakone urged. The two obliged and followed him. They saw men and women in a work out room; very muscular. No woman should look that muscular. Katara tapped Yakone's shoulder.
"Um, how do they get so muscular?" she asked worriedly.
"They take Yakone's juice. My annual medically approved muscle booster."
"But isn't that like steroids?" Toph asked folding her arms.
"Of course not my little blind surfer." He snarled.
"Whatever." Toph snorted. This was not going well as they thought it would. He showed them the entire fourth and fifth floor, until Katara put a cease to it.
"Look Yakone. Me and Toph, we don't think this is the place for us." Katara admitted coolly. Yakone gave a laugh that made their blood curdle. They look startled at the older man.
"Look sir, thank you so much for your offer, but me and Toph are still in school and have to focus more on that." Katara explained. Yakone snarled.
"You'll regret this, I promise you." He said in a harsh tone before snapping his large burly hands.
"Moose, Bull." He called. Toph looked angry.
"Oh so your calling us animals now?" she rolled her blind eyes. Katara tapped on her friend's shoulder, nervously. She saw two large men in black suits.
"I think my eyes and your vibrations are telling us it's time to leave." She chuckled nervously.
-1 minute later-
"OW!" yelled Katara and Toph in unison as they were thrown out of Yakone's large industrial building. The men waved jokingly then snarled and closed the doors, standing there until the two women left. After they ran away from the building for a total of five minutes, they stopped not affected by the amount they had run; due to their surfing abilities.
"I could've pounded those bastards. They threw us right on our asses… literally!" Toph exclaimed catching her breath as they continued to walk. Katara gave a small smile.
"It's there loss, let's get back to my place." She offered.
…..
"So these big guys named after animals threw you out on your asses?" Sokka asked in disbelief.
"Hey you want me to round up some of my gang and egg his building?" Jet asked as he pulled Toph into his lap a suggestive grin on his face before continuing. "no one throws you out on your ass."
"Says the guy who ate her cookie." Katara blurted.
"That was years ago blue eyes. What's the problem?" he asked. Katara only rolled her eyes and sat next to Aang who ignored her. Why was everything and everyone against her right now? She put her hand in her pocket retrieving her cellphone; which was ringing. It read; Haru in bold green letters. She answered it and everyone grew shocked as the heard her… giggle. Katara never giggled! After two minutes of giggling and talking she put her phone away.
"Who was that? Prince Charming?" Aang joked lightly.
"No. It was Haru." She responded. Aang's face grew red and it was as she felt the air coming through the windows give a powerful blast. She looked at Aang questionably but he only folded his arms over his muscular chest and frowned deeply. She turned back to everyone else and smiled.
"Haru just invited all of us to a club his dad opened!" she exclaimed excitedly. "It's called Tyro's Rumble club." Katara explained. Her friends except Aang were also excited.
"We're supposed to be ready in one hour." She explained and ran up squealing to herself.
"I told you-" Mai started as she looked at Aang.
"I know!" he snapped back. He stood and walked to the entrance.
"I'll see you guys in an hour." He waved and left the house.
"We'll all be back in an hour." Zuko added, leaving out the house with Mai, Toph, and Jet.
-1 hour and 3 minutes-
"C'mon Katara! It took you three extra minutes!" Sokka yelled up the stairs as the rest of the group stayed completely calm. Finally they heard the sound of heels coming down the stairs. Their jaws dropped as they saw the beautiful woman behind them. Her dress was a dark yet enchanting shade of blue. Her dress dropped a little above the knee, it was also a one shoulder, and last her shoes were silver pumps that had a strap going around the ankle. Her hair in a twisted ponytail. She gave a small smile seeing the effect she had on her friends.
"I'm ready." She smiled. Aang snapped out of his stupor and walked out the door ignoring her completely.
Club
The multicolored lights flashed non-stop in the large club. The gang was on the second floor having small talk. Haru was the first one to find the group by spotting Katara. He quickly ran over to their booth and greeted everyone. He rubbed the back of his neck nervously, and swallowed hard.
"You look amazing." He complimented pointing to Katara who blushed at his kind words.
"Well I guess the rest of us look like shit." Jet joked lightly twirling a piece of grain in his mouth. Haru blushed obviously and said the other's looked nice.
"Katara would you like to dance?" Haru asked offering his hand out to her. She smiled and stood taking his hand, he led them to the dance floor, as they started to dance to the beat of the music. The two had caught the attention of a brick red hair. She quickly stormed over to the two. This gained the attention of the gang as the woman splashed a drink over Katara's dress. Aang immediately ran over to the three and snarled at the woman.
"Who the fuck do you think you are!" he screamed at the startled woman gaining attention of others. The woman put her thin hands on her hips and snorted.
"I'm Haru's girlfriend that's who! I don't appreciate how he danced with this… this… woman!" she cried angrily. Katara placed her hands on her chest catching her breath. She couldn't believe this. She looked at the woman in her copper colored eyes and gave a shaky sigh.
"I'm sorry I didn't know." Katara said softly. She felt horrible dancing with Haru passionately in front of his girlfriend. She quickly left the dance floor and ran to the bar. Aang quickly turned to Haru and punched him square in the nose.
"You come near Katara again; you'll have to face me. So stay away from her." Aang growled and walked away from the bloody nosed man. He had caught up with Katara who was having a couple drinks.
"Thanks for coming to my rescue Aang." She said already on her third drink.
Aang smiled and ordered a drink for himself.
"Cheers to life." He joked clinking glasses with her after having another drink.
-Next Morning-
*Alarm clock beeps*
"Stupid alarm clocks." Growled an aggravated Katara. She hit the alarm clock and frowned. Her head was killing her. She knew she had drank too much after the Haru incident. She stood slowly on the carpeted floor, and immediately paused. 'I don't have carpeted floors.' She said to herself. She turned slowly and gasped seeing Aang asleep, obviously naked in the king sized bed. He jumped out as she screamed loudly covering herself.
"What are you doing here?" she asked in a scared tone.
"Me this is my room, what are you doing here?" he asked scared. She quickly grabbed her clothes and ran out of the room.
"Katara slow down." He ordered. Katara ignored him and saw the bathroom nearby. She ran but her arm was caught by Aang.
"Let's just think about this for a minute." He said calmly. She nodded and swallowed. But she was shocked as her lust took her over. He was shirtless his chiseled abs revealed to her. She cupped his cheeks roughly in her hands and kissed his lips with her own. She was about to pull back and scold herself. But he kissed her back pulling her close. He was the first to pull back and looked at her dumbfounded. She gasped for breath and ran into the bathroom, closing the door behind her and locked it. She swallowed and leaned against it.
"Whoa." She whispered a smile on her face.
"Whoa." Aang whispered to himself on the other side of the door.
I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, leave a review. :D The links for the outfits will be posted on my profile at the very bottom. I am so exhausted I've never typed this much. My wedding was supposed to be in two months, but my fiancée added three more months, thanks to his loud mouth mother. I promised he will feel my wrath; it will be a living Hell for him. Women have power! That's why since our wedding we are in a total of five months, I'm not letting him touch me for five months. I'm really pissed off but at least we didn't send the wedding invites out yet. I like his mother and all but she wants to run everything, so I have to worry about this and my fucking exhaustion. Don't be afraid to PM or anything, and leave questions, I will answer them as soon as I can. I will also start editing anything I mess up. Thanks for your support.
