I own nothing!
So when I was supposed to be taking pictures for my art class I decided to instead update this! You should all feel special. Thanks to Demeter for reviewing!
Azula hated not knowing things. She hated it when people dared to keep things secret from her. Ty Lee almost never did, and even when she would try to Azula always knew what it was her bouncy friend knew that she thought Azula did not. Mai just didn't care enough to keep secrets, so she was no worry, though recently that was a different case. The angsty girl had been quieter than usual, around the time her brother had been kicked out and that put Azula on alert slightly. Over all though the Sozin girl wasn't too concerned about Mai.
Zuko however was a different story. Ever since they were little Azula always bragged about knowing things before her big brother did, but every once in a while Zuko would be up to something or would be clued in on something she didn't know about. Most of the time she was able to figure her brother out but there were times that Zuko showed a little of the Sozin family cunning gene rather well.
The other day he had been walking around with freaks and low lives from other parts of town and Azula couldn't wrap her mind around why. At first she assumed the obvious, he simply wanted to make their father even more angry. Maybe he thought word would get out to their father that Zuko Sozin was becoming friends with repulsive people such as the Kuruks and Suki Kyoshi; but that would be too obvious, he had to have some ulterior motive. Azula was even more quietly stunned when on Monday she saw Zuko and Jet walk into school together so casually as if they had been polite acquaintances for years. She knew for a fact that Jet Durden had an extreme distaste for the Sozin family and had been a thorn in Zuko's side since his freshmen year.
That's when a new idea formulated inside Azula's brain, Zuko had been hanging around the very group that started all the pandemonium of mixing at Element Private. Zuko had joined them and was going to try to destroy the Ember name. She figured this out while watching the happy group at lunch on the same Monday. She decided that she would have to tell her father so he could take the right precautions, but first she would have to gather more facts and in order to do that she would need help from someone who knew everything about everyone in the school.
She glanced over across from her at Ty Lee who was flirting with Ruon Jian once again, 'Perfect.' When Coach Zhao shouted for everyone to leave Azlua grabbed Ty Lee and dragged her away from Ruon Jian much to the cheerleader's sadness. "Aw Azula, he was going to ask me out this Friday. I was sure of it!"
"You're busy," Azula said simply as she pulled the girl beside her as she walked briskly down the hall. Ty Lee didn't argue with her, she had been friends with Azula since the first grade and she knew by now that there was no arguing with the Sozin princess. Finally Azula stopped in an empty doorway, "Ty Lee I want you to do something for me."
Ty Lee knew there was only one answer to that question when Azula asked it so she replied brightly, "Sure! What is it?"
"I want you to find out everything you can about that mutt group. You know the one: Dow, Bei Fong, Kyoshi, the Kuruks, Durden and the others. I have a suspicion about them but I need to find out more about them before I report anything," Azula commanded.
Ty Lee had completely forgotten about her sadness of Ruon Jian and practically bounced when she answered, "Oh I love gossip, of course I can do it! You can count on me!"
"Very good, I also want you to find out why Zuko's hanging around them. Don't let anyone know what you're up to though or everything is ruined," Azula said beginning to walk away and Ty Lee nodded vigorously. Azula turned around once again and added, "Oh and Ty Lee, don't tell Mai about this. I have suspicions about her." The raven haired girl didn't wait for Ty Lee's responses as she walked off to class.
Ty Lee's face had fallen and she began to worry for her other friend; she knew many things about Azula but one of the most important ones she knew was that it was never good for Azula to be suspicious of you.
.:.:.:.:.:.
Today, Jet walked out of the the cafeteria with Zuko and Haru and was acting friendly toward Zuko. Haru wasn't sure whether or not he should happy or worried about this. "I mean did you see Chan's face?! It was great, Toph totally let him have it," Jet said to Zuko while laughing.
Zuko half smiled, "Yeah Chan will watch himself the next time he tries to cut in front of Toph."
Finally Haru spoke up, "Well it seems you two had a good weekend." The brown haired boy smiled and Jet shrugged, "Yeah it was alright." Zuko nodded in agreement.
"Well good, see you guys later," Haru said turning into his Chemistry class.
As Zuko and Jet walked to their other class Zuko said, "Maybe we better be careful people are starting to stare at us." As he spoke Song and Jin were in fact staring wide-eyed and jaws open as the boys walked by.
"Now why would they do that," Jet asked grinning, his toothpick still sticking out of his mouth.
"Um probably because we hated each other last week," Zuko said not picking up on the hint of sarcasm in Jet's voice.
"Zuko I know, but who cares? Let them stare at rebellion, it's a great thing," Jet said throwing the toothpick in a garbage can and winking at the girls who blushed and looked away. Zuko shrugged and let it go. As they walked the hallway population began to diminish and so Zuko thought it was safe to ask, "So are you staying over tonight or going back home?"
"Not sure, I might crash at yours or Suki's, probably yours. I'll go back either Wednesday or Thursday I think," Jet said. "You sick of me yet?" he said grinning stopping in front of Mr. Bumi's History classroom.
"Nauseous," Zuko called back as he walked on to English. Jet laughed and went inside the classroom to take his spot next to Song who blushed when he wasn't looking.
Meanwhile out in the halls someone had heard the whole conversation the boys had thought had been in secret. Ty Lee popped out of the art room doorway and smiled, Azula was going to love this.
Sorry this is so short! I was going to add more but it didn't feel right when I looked at it. Hopefully I'll be able to update as soon as I was able to update this one but I've got an art project due already this week. = / So it will be a long shot but I'll try. Please review!!
