All of chapter in Nobody's POV
As soon as Katara heard Aang's name Katara began putting things back into my bag extremely slowly. She saw from the corner of her eye that Azula was talking to Ty Lee. There were a few sniffles and some sobbing and she saw that Azula was crying. Well that is not something that you see every day. Katara thought. "So what exactly happened?" Ty Lee asked Azula in a comforting tone.
"Well you know that new kid Aang the one on the track team?" Ty Lee nodded and told her to go on. "Well he seemed so nice and all but I hope that a girl will never trust him again. Katara frowned slightly but still kept listening, intrigued. Azula broke out into sobs "Well yes so he seemed so nice and sweet, perfect and it didn't even seem like he wanted to be anymore than friends. But unfortunately I feel for his charm and we went on one date."
Azula swallowed down a few sobs and then began again. "And that night we had….sex and then that morning he just left. He didn't even speak to me again and the worst part is that I was a virgin." Ty Lee gasp and just held on to Azula trying to comfort her. Katara walked out of the room and pushed the door really loud so that it made a loud bang sound. She felt so many emotions at the moment and one of them was defiantly anger. But part of her mind was giving her reassurance that Azula was lying since she was the queen of lying but the way that she was crying and she just seemed so hurt it seemed like the truth. If only Katara saw Azula wipe away the fake tears from her eyes. "One down one to go" She said smiling evilly.

Aang was currently sitting on the bleachers just thinking. Today was a beautiful day, nice and warm but with the perfect breeze. He thought back to the kiss him and Katara almost shared. He wanted to kiss her so badly, more than he wanted anything else in his life. But he couldn't he just couldn't bring her into his life, the life of the Avatar. He valued her too much to do that to her. She even said that she came to the university to escape problems not to have more and this would just cause more. He thought about how his life would have been without coming to this college and actually regretted coming. Yes he would have had a very lonely life just helping the world, going place to place but he was such a selfless person and would go the rest of his life that way if it meant that Katara would be happy.
All he wanted was for her to be happy.
He still wasn't sure why he felt so strongly about her, he defiantly knew that he liked her but is it possible that he could love her? He just brushed it off thinking that it was too early for him to love her but what if he did? He then noticed Ty Lee making her way to come over to talk to him. He hasn't seen her in years she was a really kind and bubbly girl so he didn't understand how a girl like her could be friends with someone like Azula. She went over and sat by him looking at the clouds.
"Today is a beautiful day isn't it." She said trying to start a conversation. He just simply nodded wanted her to get to the point. "Okay look I need to tell you something because I really don't want you to have to go through this." Aang sighed bracing himself for the bad news. "Well today at the end of class I overheard Katara talking to 2 other girls. She was talking about how she was going to totally win the dare. I didn't hear everything but the dare was about you and I remember one of the girls talking about what she would do after she got you in bed. And then I heard her laugh and say that it doesn't matter and that she would just ignore you afterwards."
Ty Lee said this all slowly and quietly refusing to meet Aang's eyes just looking around at random things. Aang just started at clouds, his mind slowly processing all this new information. He wished that it was all a dream that he could just wake up from this nightmare. He wished that Toph could have taught him how to see with his feet so he could see if she was lying. But it didn't seem like she was lying she showed no signs of lying and she looked really concerned just like a friend looking out for a friend. She was also known around the campus as a really trustful person. Aang really didn't know exactly how to feel at the moment he surely felt betrayed, angry, and sad but he just kind of felt numb. He couldn't believe that he actually liked Katara, she was just how he thought she was at the beginning of the year but worse. What he really couldn't believe was he that he almost kissed her and was so happy that he didn't.
"I have to go" he said lowly to Ty Lee and she just put her hand on his shoulder in sympathy. Aang walked down the bleachers and began walking towards the right. When he was out of sight Ty Lee instantly felt ashamed of herself. She could not believe that she actually helped Azula deceive these innocent people. She felt so much guilt and felt horrible this was not who she was. She walked up to a smirking Azula who was behind a tree.
"Haha we got them!" Azula said putting her hand out for a high five. Ty Lee just stood there staring at Azula and she pointed a finger at her.
"I hope you know that I am never helping you out again! I know I am a good liar but I hate to use it" Ty Lee said bitterly which was unusual for her kind self but that is what Azula did to her. Ty Lee then walked off leaving a confused Azula. What is her problem? Azula thought to herself.

Katara began walking back to her dorm not really believing what she had just heard she honestly didn't know what to feel except for the obvious. "Katara" she heard her name being called and turned around. She saw a guy whose name she knew was Jet. She hadn't heard that much about him but he seemed nice enough.
"Hello" she said awkwardly not really knowing what to say to this stranger.
"Okay look" he said not beating around the bush. "I saw you overhearing what Azula said about Aang and I know you think Azula is a bad person and you may not trust her but she was telling the truth. I have talked to Aang before and that is all he thinks about women he just uses them and then throws them away. He acts innocent but he is just a player." Jet then looked down and the ground in remorse. "I admit I used to be like that but I realized how wrong it is. I hope you do believe me." He said with pleading eyes. "Because I don't want that happening to you". Katara's world instantly shot down before her eyes and she just stood there perfectly still like a statue, her mind going though the information again and again. She didn't even notice that Jet was currently hugging and comforting her. She leaned in more into the hug and hugged him back placing her head in the crook of his neck. At least there was one nice person that was true to her.
"Thank you" she whispered slowly before she began walking off. She was extremely angry more at herself than at Aang, any water near her would probably evaporate right now. She clenched her first tight, her knuckles going paler and paler the harder she clenched. She released it and winced and stared at the marks her fingernails left on her palm.
Azula showed up from her hiding spot behind the tree and walked towards Jet. They both hi-fived eachother smiling at their teamwork. "I'm defiantly in now" Jet said smirking, his eyes glued to Katara's butt as she walked. Then the both walked off pleased at what they had just done.
Katara and Jet hadn't noticed the grey eyed Airbender watching them as Jet hugged and comforted her and her letting him. That almost kiss really didn't mean anything what Ty Lee was right Aang though sadly to himself. He looked away after seeing their close moment and walked out the opposite direction of Katara. Both of them walked back to their dorms with a wide range emotions running though them.
Line Break
Katara walked back to her dorm slamming the door behind her. She really hated this mixture of rage, pain and depression she was feeling. She has wished so much as anything that Azula was lying to her but Jet confirmed that she wasn't. She walked into her room and went to her pillow repeatedly punching it hard. She hated Aang so much right now, how could he have done this to her? But he was so perfect she actually that she might of liked him maybe even a little more. But the thing she hated the most was that as much as she disliked him the feeling she felt about him would never go away. Why did it have to be him?
Line Break
Aang decided not to go to his dorm he really didn't feel like seeing anybody and he especially didn't feeling like putting on a joyful facade or have to explain why he looked so angry and depressed. He walked deep into the forest making sure not to leave any trails that he has been there. He walked for a long time to the deepest part of the woods, he did not want anybody to find him. He stumbled on a beautiful secluded spot. It had a small pond with a waterfall running through it. He looked around to try to find the water source and was surprised that he couldn't find one at least he couldn't see it. He was grateful for that since it meant that nobody could follow a water source to him.
This was defiantly the perfect spot for bending there weren't many trees close together around it which meant that he wouldn't burn anything when firebending. The ground was perfect for earthbending, not too long of grass to get in the way and last but not least the pond for waterbending.
He took his shirt off folding it and placing it on the ground. He began stretching his limbs since he hadn't practiced in a while and then did many sit-ups, crunches and pushups. He made sure to keep switching the styles between them doing regular push up and sit-ups, then wide pushups, reverse crunches, double crunches and tricep pushups. He also practiced his hand at one armed pushups making sure to pay extra attention to his weaker arm which was his left. He then did some pushups without using his hands only using airbending from his mouth which helped with his breathing control. It also helped with his reflexes having to know exactly when to blow the air on the ground before you feel on your face. He didn't know how long he did this but knew it was a long time since her felt his muscles burn.
Well that's what you get for not practicing He told himself. He then got up and began doing a long series of hot squats and fire-fist. After that he practiced his earthbending just taking rocks and practicing his shooting accuracy but he didn't do too much wanted to preserve this beautiful place. He then took his fingers and jabbed then quickly into the ground easily making a hole with his earthbending. He smiled remembering the first time he did this and his fingers just painfully smashed into the rock. Earthbending was the hardest thing for him to master since it was the opposite of the birth element which meant that water was the easiest. He bent some earth back into the holes not wanting to leave the mark his figures made into the dirt there.
He then walked over to the water and ran his fingers though it and was surprised by how warm it was he certainly wasn't expecting that, there must have been an underground spring here somewhere. He wiped up some sweat from his eyebrow and then he waterbent some of the water just moving it around in circles just concentrating on it not wanting to think about anything else. He then proceeded to do a few water whips and just doing basic moves like freezing the water and practicing taking water out from other sources like the air. He then stopped when waterbending made him think about a certain waterbender which defeated the reason why he came out here in the first place. He stopped bending the water and got on his air scoter but he immediately stopped when he saw that the sun would be setting soon. He put his shirt back on and looked around at his surroundings and made sure not to forget this place. It took him a while to walk back to his dorm room from his spot deep in the woods and by the time he made it back it was almost dark. He walked in being greeted by the hellos of Sokka and Zuko.
"Why are you all sweaty?" Sokka asked him. Aang then felt the back of his neck feeling the layer of sweat there, his dark hair sticking to it.
"I was just practicing my running" Aang lied smoothly. He then when to the bathroom to take a shower after his massive workout. After the shower he looked down the drain and wished that all of his troubles could go away down it just like the water.

Katara finally got out of her room to get something to eat for dinner. She saw that the rest of the girls were all eating dinner on the couch and watching TV. "What's for dinner?" the dark skinned girl asked cringing slightly at how gloomy her own voice soundly.
"What's wrong with you?" Toph asked
"There is nothing wrong with me!" Katara yelled at the blind girl but immediately apologized after.
"Are you bipolar of something Katara? Your emotions have been everywhere the whole day and it's giving me a headache." Toph said not hiding the irritation in her voice. Katara smiled slightly.
"It must seem like it" She said realizing how she has gone from angry that she was going to train alone with Aang, to being happy at being alone with him, to being confused that he didn't kiss her but happy he almost did, all to be sad and angry again. Boy, this roller coaster of emotions was sure taking a toll on her. She just grabbed something small to eat not really having much of an appetitepa. After finishing her dinner she took a quick shower and got into bed. She wasted no time getting to sleep even know it was still early because you didn't have to deal with anything in your sleep you were just a peace with no problems in your sleep. She didn't know what to do about Aang and didn't even want to think about him right now. She official hated him now but unfortunately the big flaw in that was that she didn't hate him and she hated herself for that.
