"Everyone says that he's a genius."
Katara looked over her shoulder as Ami explained about how he was the youngest to enter the Etogawa High School. Looking back through the window in the principal's door, she sighed. He looked so young…obviously not the same age as anyone else in the school.
"They say he skipped two grades."
The boy writing something at the desk in the front room, no one else around, had on some black tennis shoes one under a pair of dirty, tattered jeans, and an orange and gray T-shirt. He was bald and had a blue arrow from his forehead down his neck, and some going down his arms to his hands, also.
Katara took in a sharp breath and the other girls who crowded around the door quieted.
"What's the matter, Katara?"
"N-nothing…it's just…I think he's an airbender."
The other girls laughed and Kiyoko touched Katara's shoulder. "Don't tell me you still believe in all that elementist stuff!"
Katara jumped. "Oh, no…I just…"
Niroku shook her head. "It's okay Katara. He's probably just an imposter. Everyone knows that the airbenders were wiped out by the firebenders a few years ago."
Katara nodded hesitantly. "Yeah, I know that…an imposter…"
A shrill scream of a bell rang out through the hallways and the crowd moved on down the hall for fourth period. But one still lingered beside the door of the principal. Hugging her books to her chest, Katara watched the boy at the desk. Principal Etogawa would give him a uniform soon. She knew that. Lucky guys…why did this school have skimpy uniforms for girls?
Because I made this school up, that's why. And I don't give a care if you want different uniforms! BWAHAHA!
The boy felt her eyes on his back, and he turned around and sent her a thumbs-up accompanied with a melting grin.
Katara started at his sudden action, but smiled at him. He was almost like a younger brother. And she didn't even know his name!
"Oi! You! Get movin'! Lemme see your hall pass!"
Katara groaned and turned around to her older brother. "Sokka, being the hall monitor isn't all that great you know…"
Sokka shrugged. "Just go to class, okay? Gran-Gran'll blame me if you get a detention." Katara laughed and swept down the empty hallway to Algebra, her brother standing where she had stood with hands on hips and a sly grin.
Aang stood warily at the end of the lunch line, his tray in hands. Now…where was a place to sit? No, no, no, full, preppy, no, no, ah! He slid onto an empty bench in the lunchroom. Sighing, he opened his milk and stuck the straw into it. Darn. If only there were anyone else who enjoyed blowing bubbles in their chocolate milk! But, alas, here he was in high school, and no one was childish anymore.
Where was that girl he had smiled at earlier, the one who had been standing outside the principal's office? Aang turned around and surveyed the lunch room. Ah! She was in line. Gathering the food…paying the lunch lady…and looking for a seat. He hesitated at first, but then called, waving at her, "Hey! Come and sit over here."
She smiled as she saw him. Saying something to the girl behind her, she walked over to and sat down on the opposite side of the table from Aang. Aang grinned.
"Hey."
"Hi. I don't think we've exchanged names…?"
"Oh…I-I'm Aang."
"My name's Katara. Sokka, in tenth grade; he's my brother. Right now he's currently obsessed with Suki, a girl in tenth grade Science…"
Aang nodded and spooned some peaches into his mouth as Katara went on an on. Katara…that was a pretty name. Perfect for the pretty girl it belonged to. He looked up as she paused to sip her milk, and then went on about the apartment she and her brother lived in with their grandmother. Aang looked at her hair: it was dark brown, a contrast to her lively blue eyes, and her bangs were tied back into her braid. She was a nice shade of tan; thin and not too shapely.
Aang jumped as she cleared her throat. He blushed and asked, "Huh?"
She blinked. "You're…staring at me."
Aang blushed a deeper red and looked at his peaches. "Oh, well, I was just, uh…hey, do you like peaches?"
Katara nodded. "Yeah, I like peaches…" Glancing up as someone called her name, she added, "Oh, hey, care if some of my friends sit with us?"
Aang shrugged. "Whatever."
She grinned. "Okay. You know, high school homework can be pretty tough. You can come to my house if you want, after school, if you need help."
Before two other girls sat down, Aang nodded, smiling. "Sure. But only if you agree to go sledding with me on Penguin Hill."
AAAAAAAAAAAAH! LOL Sledding on Penguin Hill…LOL As you can tell, it's winter…Okay. I promise it'll be better next time. LOL Hope you liked it anywho!
Any ideas for it?
Want an OC in it?
Just review and tell me!
