How You Doing Insane Gang!

Its been awhile sorry for the delay.

Disclaimer: I got nothing.

All of this was happening way too fast. For fuck sake, he just moved to town not even two days ago and here he is opening up his heart for some girl he barely knows. He never even told his ex-girlfriend how he got his scar, let alone be allowed to touch it. He's known Mai since he was a child and she was around when he got the scar at a young age.

Right now he should focus on school and getting the hockey team into shape.

They didn't say a word to each other the rest of the day, she didn't even meet his eyes when saying goodbye.

Katara just finished getting ready for bed when she received a FaceTime from Suki.

"Heeeey Kat!"

"What's up Suki? You never call this late on a school night." She said, settling down on her stomach near the foot of her bed.

"I know but this is important like money important. How long is it gonna be before you and Zuko get it on?"

Katara sat up quickly, her face instantly heats up. "Suki!"

She marches towards her open door before shutting it quickly, hoping that Sokka didn't hear across the hall.

"How could you even ask that question? And how is that even money related?"

Suki didn't seem fazed by her friend's freakout. "Are you serious? I've known since the day his uncle introduced us that he was practically undressing you with his eyes. And second of all money is involved because I made a bet with Toph and I'll be damned if I'm letting her win another bet again."

Katara was no longer holding her phone up, instead favoring on covering her face with both hands. "What even is the bet you two have going on?"

"Toph thinks you guys are gonna bang in the next two months—"

"Two months?! We just met him practically three days ago!"

Suki smirked, "I said you guys would totally hook up in a month."

"Oh my god!"

That morning Zuko borrowed Iroh's beat-up truck to drive himself to school since his uncle would be at the tea shop serving customers all day.

He wasn't looking forward to the adjustment. He had least had his little gang and the hockey team to hang out with and talk to if he shared any periods with them. Wincing in his head, Zuko recalled the awkward interaction he left with Katara. Maybe he'll be lucky and not have any classes with her and it shouldn't be too hard to ignore her in a group setting.

Walking into the lobby he felt all eyes on him. At this point, he isn't sure if its a good or bad thing. Sokka surprisingly broke the tension he was feeling by corralling him over to their group. Too bad he could still feel the stares burning holes into the back of his head.

"Don't mind everyone." Aang waved them off.

"They did the same thing when I walked in. I think they're just impressed with our hockey skills."

Zuko quirked an eyebrow. "Still, no one from back home would look twice at a hockey player at my old school; not even the good ones."

"Believe me Sparky, when someone good comes to this hockey team it's a Godsent."

Sokka frowned. "Hey now, we aren't that bad."

Toph socked him in the arm.

Suki encased his left arm in her grip. "We lost six years straight to our rivals and haven't made it into the playoffs in over twenty years."

His pouting continued further. "When you put it like that..."

Katara inserted herself in. "But all of that's going to change this year, with you leading the team with the best goalscorer—she glanced at Aang—and the defenseman—she held her gaze longer at Zuko—in the whole league and possibly the state."

"Thanks for the vote in confidence sis."

Aang wrapped an awkward arm around her. "Yeah! I know we can beat anyone with your support."

Zuko could only nod hesitantly since he can't trust himself to speak. Typical that he too would have the worst luck known to mankind. It turns out he shared all of his classes with Katara. They were civil obviously, they sat next to each other but their interactions were limited. Nothing like they have been acting before the fateful day at the old shop. Zuko just didn't know how to make it right again.

Lunch rolled around and Katara showed up the usual table they would sit at. She took extra precautions not to sit next to him but instead sat on the other side of Suki. Toph sat next to Zuko. As soon as she sat down she huffed mumbling under her breath. Kicking her foot out in front of her she hoped to make contact with Suki's shin.

"Ow! What the hell was that for Toph?"

"Yeesh, sorry Snoozles that was for Fangirl." She tried to placate the man holding his left shin in his hands.

Suki turned her attention to her blind friend. "What is it Toph?"

The girl raised both of her brows before flicking her milky eyes into the general vicinity of Katara and then subtly tilted her head towards Zuko.

Suki got the hint and pursed her lips in thought. Katara was in an animated discussion with Aang while Zuko and Sokka were going over line formations for hockey.

She had noticed the weirdness those too were in ever since they came back from town. When she called last night, Katara didn't seem all that uncomfortable talking about him nor did she really discourage her. She was also distracted talking about the bet between her and Toph and lord knows she needs that money more than her. Whatever the case is Suki will have her spilling everything by the end of the night.

Suki called a mandatory girls night sometime later that evening.

"Why did you call a mandatory night?" Katara asked as the three girls crowded on Suki's bed.

"Come on Sugar Queen you can't be that dense, even I know that you've been acting differently."

Katara scrunched her forehead. "What? I'm fine guys. How am I acting differently?"

Suki tucked her legs underneath her. "You and Zuko? You guys seem awkward all of a sudden."

She avoided her friends' gazes.

"Her heart rate spiked." Toph piped up.

"Nothing! Nothing is going on between us."

"But you want there to be." Suki wiggled her eyebrows.

Her cheeks heated up on their own. "Even if I did want something I don't think he's into me like that."

Toph flopped on her back. "Oh my god and I thought I was the blind one!"

Suki was more sympathetic. "I know we've only known Zuko for a couple days now but there is no way that he doesn't like you like that."

Katara sighed. "This doesn't leave the room got it?"

"Okay..."

"Spill it."

"I took Zuko to my favorite shop." She scratched her arm unsurely. "I showed him the old hockey section and he really liked it. We talked a bit about his past and we got really close to each other at that point. I even touched his scar—"

"Scar? What scar?" Toph interrupted.

"It's on his face Toph." Suki pointed out.

She crossed his arms. "I don't see what the big deal is for a little scar."

Suki shook her head. "It runs from his eyebrow down to the top of his cheek."

Toph raised her eyebrows. "Really...how metal."

"Anyway...I only touched the bottom of it and we just stood there staring at each other. I thought he was going to kiss me until he pulled away suddenly. After that, he's been distant."

"Sounds like he's scared to me," Toph concluded.

Suki placed a calming hand on Katara's arm. "If I learned anything from dating your brother, it's that men are useless at starting things. You need to be the one to woman up and make the first move."

Toph picked at her toes. "Plus, I would give Sparky sometime to adjust to everything, maybe he used to have a girl back in the city."

Katara's eyes widened and covered her face with her hands. "Oh, my La! I didn't even think about that! Now I probably look like some homewrecker—"

The oldest girl sent a glare towards the youngest. "Toph's just teasing, if he did, he would have mentioned something by now."

Katara collapsed onto the bedspread on her back. "I just want the two of us to go back to how it was before."

"Then just talk to him."
