Whee! Thank you so much for reviewing! I can't believe I got that many reviews in just one chapter of writing on my first story! Thank you all so much times a million! Woot! Woot!
But anyway here's the new chapter.
Also:
His scar is on his right eye (Zuko)
Katara and Sokka aren't brother and sister,
And this is an AU story, I can make Zuko a jock if I want to.
Sorry, just needed to clear those up for whoever was dishing them out to me in a review. Now remember people, this is my story, it is an AU story, I may not own the characters, but in this story, the plot is mine and the characters attitudes are mine.
Chapter Two
Katara was mesmerized-- until Jet ran over to Zuko and began playfully beating his best friend up. Zuko took his eyes off of her to retreat from Jet and toy around with him. But Katara, she was still eyeing him. Aang shook her arm.
"Hey. Katara? Katara, are you okay?" Katara shook her head and looked over at Aang. Apparently just like Zuko, Aang had a little pack of people he hung out with too. She shook her head nonchalantly and whipped a piece of stay hair behind her ear.
"These are my friends," Aang began. "This is Suki, Meng, Teo, and Haru!" Aang said enthusiastically. They all waved and said hello to Katara. She just sheepishly waved back. Meng , a short girl with two pigtails and wearing all pink and lavender whispered something in Suki's ear, a tall girl with short scarlet hair with jewels and accessories over her arms and some in her hair wearing green. Suki and Meng began to giggle.
Katara snatched up her books and stood up shyly. The boy named Haru with shoulder-length brown hair stood up and got in her way.
"So, how's your first day?" Haru asked. She shrugged then turned to Aang.
"I'll catch you later." Katara said. She began to walk but Haru stopped her again.
"Uh, hey, mind if I walk with you?" He asked shyly with a carnation blush. Katara blushed too.
"Thanks, sure." The two began to walk off of the bleachers. On a cemented wall, Zuko's sister Azula was putting up a few posters and giggling with her friend Jun. They looked at Katara and Haru with frowns. Azula started to laugh.
"Ha ha. Haru's datin' the new girl!" Azula laughed. Jun laughed too.
"Huh?" Katara responded.
"I am not dating her." Haru replied sharply.
"Oh yeah, whatev." Jun said.
"Ha- wait till I tell Zuko!" She laughed walking over to her brother, still laughing.
"Ah, Zu- guess who's got a little girlfriend!"
Katara blushed. Azula started to giggle after she told him. Katara blushed, but ended up looking at Zuko and Azula, making her blush even more. But for some reason, no matter how humiliating it was for her, she just kept staring at Zuko. He was looking at her, too. A sly smile on his face, but there was still some frown. His hazel pools of eyes were hollow.
"Don't listen to them. All those cheerleaders and football players are A-listers." Haru told her.
"Huh?" She replied confused again.
"A-listers. They are popular and rich and hot and talented. They only communicate nicely with 'their kind'." He used air quotes. Katara began t walk, but left another glance at Zuko. Haru ripped down the poster Azula and Jun had put up then caught up with Katara.
"So, Kat, where did you use to go to school? You don't seem too used to all this. You just moved here, didn't you?" He asked looking at the poster and not taking his eyes off of it.
"I used to live with my mom. She's a pilot and she just got transferred somewhere in Asis for about a year or something. I guess there are a lot of people trying to get out of East or West Asia or something so she's there letting the poor people escape for free for limited time until a war or something dies down." She explained.
"Hmm, that's very noble of her. She must have been great."
"She was- I mean, is. Right now I am living with my step sisters. I used to go to an all girls private academy, but my mom left me here. I guess you would call them the 'wanna-be A-listers?'" Katara asked.
Haru nodded, not saying anything.
"Hey, there's a dance going on." He scoffed.
"What's so bad about that?" Katara asked.
"A shorter list would be what isn't bad about it." Haru replied cooly. "Last year, it was so bad, I had to bring my mom." He shuddered at the thought. Katara shivered with him.
"I tried asking Jun last year, but she was already going with Jet. It was actually sad for everyone last year- especially the A-listers." Haru explained.
"Why?"
"Because Zuko's girlfriend's father was in the coast guard and they moved. He had nobody to go wthi so Azula went with him and dumped Sokka last year so he went with Yue and Azula and Yue got in a cat fight and Zuko and Sokka got in a fight." He sighed. "Long story."
"Azula seemed happy when she was putting the poster up." Katara said.
"Well, Kat, that's how it is. All the A-listers get to be on the Dance Committee. Last year Jet picked it. It was outside when a meteor shower was going on."
"Must have been nice." Katara sighed.
"It was for everyone but me, my mother, and the A-listers." Haru joked. Katara giggled and looked into his eyes with a blush. They stopped walking and stood there, blushing and looking at each other. Then the end-of-school bell shook the school. The two jumped in surprise. They both blushed even more.
Laughing and fake air kisses came from behind them. Azula, Jet, Zuko, Sokka, Jun and Yue came up from behind, their backpacks slung over one shoulder. Katara was already sick of Azula. She had to be the worst and most annoying. 'She's more annoying than that Malfoy kid in the Harry Potter books.' The cheerleaders and jocks said nothing. Katara gasped slightly. She must have said that last part out loud.
"Uh, Zuko- please clarify that- that loser talk." Azula said leaning over towards Zuko.
"How the hell should I know who Harry Pothead it, or whatever she said." Zuko and the rest began laughing. Katara had a feeling that they were laughing at her, not with her- heck, she wasn't even laughing at all! Katara sighed. 'I wish Aang were here- he'd know how to shut up that hot man Zuko.' She thought. She looked at Haru. From the expression on his face, he had to be worse at comebacks than she was.
"Pony tails, girls?" Katara asked. Then she scoffed. "I'll make a note that those came back in style." Katara took a rubber band off of her wrist and snapped it into her hair in the form of a pony tail.
All the cheerleaders looked disgusted. They all took their hair down. Yue looked over at Zuko and Sokka. "That means the guys, too." Yue laughed. Sokka took his down but Zuko kept his out.
"I hate my hair down." Zuko declared. "Now c'mon, guys, let's go grab a bite in my Hummer then go to my house-"
"Our." Azula corrected.
"Whatev, let's just go" He waved his arm in the air, leading the way. The two watched the guys and girls leave, hollering and laughing.
"Hey, you and I should go grab a bite, too." Katara suggested. Haru shrugged and agreed.
"M'kay, I had to skip my lunch break time for a retake test. Let me just go put my books in my locker." He said. She nodded and shifted her books in her arms with a sheepish smile. "What about your books?" Haru asked. She shrugged.
"I've got some studying to catch up on- I'll bring them home."
"Kay."
---
"Where to?" Haru asked spinning the wheel and pulling out of his parking spot.
"Wherever you want to!"
"Then let's go!"
That the end of chapter two! Wheee! I like this chapter better than the last one, but anyway, this is just the second chapter.
Oh yeah, also Azula and Zuko are friends in this story, not foes like in the show.
Remember to review!
