Chapter 17: Madness

Katara's POV

We walked into school hand in hand and everyone seemed to stop and stare. Me and Zuko were offically boyfriend and girlfriend because we'd already kissed more than once and went out for ice cream together, even if Toph was there, it seemed like it was sort of a date.

"Hey guys!" Aang exclaimed as soon as he ran up to us. He spotted our hands interlocking and smiled an even bigger smile. "Wow, you guys finally got together! Hey, I wonder if Toph will go out with me now? Do you think she will?" He stared up with at us with hopeful puppy dog eyes and a blush on his cheeks.

Me and Zuko looked at each other and couldn't help but let out a small laugh that we both immediately tried to cover up with a cough. "Um... Aang... I-I don't think Toph likes you like that," I tried to tell him.

He looked crestfallen. "Oh..." Then he perked up again and said,"Well, I hope you guys are happy together! Bye!" Then he skipped away like he always does.

"Wow, that guy is messed up," Zuko said as he stared at Aang still skipping down the hall.

I smiled and nodded as we resumed walking again, but only to be stopped by three girls. "Um.. Excuse us," I said with a glare because they wouldn't let us pass.

The girl, whom I didn't know who stood next to Mai and Ty Lee, said,"Oh please. I just wanted to see what made my stupid brother so happy all of the sudden."

"Brother?" I asked Zuko.

He sighed and told me,"Katara, this is my little sister Azula. Azula, this is my girlfriend Katara."

Azula smirked and said, "Hello."

I smiled weakly back at her."Um, hi."

Zuko just glared at her and asked,"What do you really want Azula?"

She looked at her brother and said,"Well, Mai and Ty Lee wanted to meet you." She pointed to each girl when she said their name.

"Hey Mai, Ty Lee," he said, trying to be nice as he put on a fake smile.

Ty Lee, the one in all pink with a long brown braid in her hair, said,"Hi! It's so great to meet you." She smiled a wide grin at him while her eyes scanned his body, probably trying to picture him naked.

I scowled at her while Mai, the goth dressed in all black, said,"Hey." She also check him out and probably tried to picture him naked, but she made it so much more obvious that she was doing so. I then glared at her and let my scowl deepen.

Zuko looked very uncomfortable by all this. I could tell he wanted to get away from his sister and her friends. "Um...I think it's time me and Katara get to class. It was... nice meeting you," he said, as we walked around them with a fake smile still plastered on his face.


Zuko POV

I can't help but shutter as I remember how Azula's friends totally checked me out. I felt like I was a piece of meat being examined by hungry carnivores. I shuttered again.

"Hey Zuko," Jet said, as he took his seat next to me. I only knew him because he sits next to me in this boring class known as Science.

I rolled my eyes at him and say,"Hey." I don't like talking to the guy much because he's really full of himself. Just because the guy has screwed a couple of chics he thinks he's all that.

"So, I saw this morning that you got together with Katara."

"Yeah." I had a feeling this conversation wasn't going to end well and, as usual, my feeling was correct.

"How'd you manage to snag her?"

"What?" I asked, even though I was dreading to hear the answer.

He raised a brown eyebrow at me. "Ya know, like, how'd you get her not to be depressed anymore?"

I shrugged. "Dunno. Why?"

He gave me a look that said, 'How can you not know?'

"Because she's hot! She was one of the hottest girls I'd ever see till she became all depressed about something. Now all she needs is a better wardrobe to become just as hot as she was before," he told me.

I glared at him. I thought Katara looked good in band T-shirt's from Hot Topic and ripped up jeans. I didn't see why she needed to change to meet some guys approval. "I think she looks hot no matter what her wardobe is," I told him.

He smirked. "Fine, but all I'm saying is that when she goes back to her old style she'll be really hot. Then I'm hoping she'll realize I'm the man of her dreams."

I gritted my teeth. 'I knew this guy was full of himself, but this is just insane! I now see that he's a total basterd who's full of himself.'

"Jet, if you were really the man of her dreams then you would think she's hot no matter what she's wearing. Then she might date you, but then again, you're just a perverted basterd who just wants to screw her."

He glared at me as I noticed we were drawing a crowd. Half of our first hour was watching us insult each other. "Well, at least I'm not a virgin." The people watching went 'Ooooo'.

Now it was my turn to insult him. "I'd rather never have sex then screw a girl just because she's pretty." The crowd went 'Ooooo' again.

"That does it!" Jet yelled as he jumped on me and I fell out of my chair. We rolled around on the ground until we rolled into the wall and stopped. Jet ended up on top of me. "Take this you fucking basterd!" Then he puched me in the face.

I growled and rolled us over so that I was the one on top. "Well take this you man whore!" I yelled as I punched him. I heard a sickening crack when I did that.

His eyes watered and his nose started to bleed. "You broke my fucking nose!"

"Oh well, can't say I feel bad about it," I told him with a smirk.

Jet rolled us over again and the fight continued on from there.


Tooh POV

I heard police sirens during the middle of first hour, they stopped just in front of the school. 'Hhmm... Wonder who brought drugs into school this time?' I vaguely wondered to myself, not really caring.

A kid behind me, who sits next to the window overlooking the parking lot at the front of the school, shouted, "Jet and Zuko are out there!"

My head snapped up at this. "Shit," I breathed. 'Sparky, what did you do that was bad enough that they needed to call the cops?'
