Chapter I

katara had quickly sped off to the place where zuko had asked her to meet him at. She had waited quite a while for him to come and she had started to wonder if he had forgotten about the whole thing.

'Ah, where could zuko be?' sighing inwardly to herself, she was about to leave until a voice from behind had called her name. Turning around, katara saw that it was none other than Ishida zuko, casually late, as always.

"Aha, sorry I'm late, katara." zuko stated while scratching the back of his neck. katara smiled at him and shook her head, responding, "It's alright," and sat down on a nearby bench. "So what did you want to talk to me about?" katara asked.

Blinking slightly, zuko sat down across from her, "Ah, remember when I asked you if you had been in love before?" Not knowing where he was going with this, she nodded her head nonchalantly. "Well, I asked someone out and I think I'm in love..."

kataras grew wide-eyed, but not so much as to show any hint of sadness or jealousy, and simply responded with, "Who?" It was then that zuko stood up from the table and grabbed kataras's hands, "With... Tchi megan."

Seeing tiny, non-existent hearts and stars in his eyes, katara tried her best to avoid them and looked to the ground, "That's great!" she said, trying to sound as enthusiastic as she could at a time like this.

With katara being his best friend and all, Zuko could sense a little bit of melancholy in her tone, "What's wrong?" katara glanced back up to look at him and replied, "N-nothing!" Zuko grinned, "Something is wrong, katara..." Accepting defeat, katara quickly retorted, "Ah... I guess... umm... that means we won't be going to the dance together this year then, that's why..." even though it was all true, katara was still shielding the truth.

"Oh? Is that it," Zuko chuckled slightly, "I'll make sure to leave to leave the last dance for you." katara looked up so she could see his eyes and slightly smiled at him. Zuko, in response, smiled back and patted her head before walking away.

"Hoy, hurry up if you want me to walk you home, silly," he called back. katara quickly got up and ran a bit so she could catch up with him, and they had walked home together.

Tossing and turning, katara couldn't help but think about what Zuko had said earlier to her today.

"...I think I'm in love..."

Those words constantly reoccurring in her head, she thought to herself, 'Why is this affecting me now...? Before it was alright when he went out with other girls, but... Oh, Zuko, why did you say you're in love...?'

katara tried to shut her eyes so she could go to sleep, but instead all she could do was think about those words, and the reason why she couldn't let Zuko say them to her, if he even could...

katara finally brought herself to sleep, but much to her dismay, it had caused her to sleep-in. Her alarm had went off several times, only for her to groan in annoyance. Finally getting up, katara realized what time it was, "Oh my gosh! I'm going to be late for school!" 'Zuko probably left without me too...'

Hurriedly putting on her school uniform, katara dashed down the stairs and picked up her school bag as she ran out the door.

Luckily, katara had gotten to school 5 minutes before the first bell had rang. She decided to search for Zuko, and knew just where he would be.

Turning the corner to where their meeting spot was, katara tried to erase the thoughts of the night before, 'Tachikawa katarai is stronger than this!'

What she wasn't expecting, however, was a certain someone who Zuko thought he loved to be there. katara's eyes grew wide as she gasped and dropped her school bag to the ground. Tchi megan and Ishida Zuko, her best friend, were kissing each other!

'It's to be expected, Katara. They're going out!' katara argued with herself silently as she ran away from the scene she wanted so desperately to be away from. Finally getting to the other side of the school building, she slumped down and screamed to no one but herself, "But why! Why is this affecting me so much!"why?why? WHY?

The first bell had rang throughout the school; Zuko and Megan had gotten up from where they resided when Zuko spotted a specific black school bag with a pink star keychain dangling from the zipper.

"Huh? What's wrong, Zuk?" Megan asked him. Zukos gaze was still centered on the bag, "Ah... I-I'll catch up to you later, Megan." Confused, Megan replied, "Okay," and walked off to her classroom.

Zuko picked up the bag and pondered to himself, 'katara's bag? But why's it here...?'

On the other side of the school, a lonely girl sat against the building, crying silently to herself.

-Heaven's not enough If wen you get there Just another blue and heavens not enough you think you've found it and it loses you ...you've thought of all there is ..but not enough and is loses you in a cloud "There "most every thing is noyhing that it seems "where " you see thing you only wanna see

I'd fly away

to a higher plane

to say words I resist

to float away

to saigh

to breath ...forget

and heaven's not enough if wen I'm there I doun't remember you and heaven does enough you think you know it and it uses you

I saw so many things but like a dream it loses you

cause I coulden't cry

cause I turned away

coulden't see the score

didn't know the pain of leaving yesterday really far behind

In another life

In another dream

By a differen't name

Gave it all away for a guiet lie and I felt the face of a cold tonight still din't know the score but I know pain of leaving yesterday far behind

and if I could cry

and if I could live

but What truth I did then take me there

Heaven goodbye
