Uniter's Child chapter 8
Shu got out of her Aunt's car. "I'll see you later kid." Her Aunt said before driving away.
Shu looked at the school building in pure aw. Small beak was on her shoulder as usual, observing the environment around him. It took about a week to get everything prepared for her first day of school in the big city. When she wasn't preparing for school by getting her uniform and supplies, she would explore the city during the day. Now here she is starting her first day at a new school. Here she was at Republic Academy ready to make some friends and make somewhat of a life for herself. She entered the school and went to the auditorium for introduction to the new school year she finds a seat and waits for the principal to start speaking when someone taps her on the right shoulder. "Took about a week, but good to see you again."
Shu looks behind her and sees the water tribe girl she meet at the Immigration building. "Lahna." Shu said.
"Good to see you Shu." Lahna says smiling widely.
"I didn't know you were going to this school." Shu said.
"Yeah my family moved here about a month ago."
"Oh."
"Do you want to hang out and stuff, given that we're both new?"
"Sure."
Suddenly, a microphone squeal quiets the auditorium. "Thank you, I'll keep this brief as possible, welcome to Republic Academy, many of you come in search for knowledge, some for a chance for an adventure, or maybe to get the best opportunities to move forward in life."
The principal makes a brief look around at the students in the auditorium before continuing. "I hope you all enjoy your experience and use the lessons learned her to the future, thank you."
"That was short." Lahna stated.
An announcement was made giving the students instructions on what to do. All the students did and all of them were now headed for their first class. Shu and Lahna were walking together comparing schedules. "So we have Math and mechanics together." Lahna said excitedly.
"See you next period." Shu said waving at Lahna.
Lahna waved back, before heading to her class. Shu entered her classroom and found a seat in the front. A few minutes passed before the bell rang and the teacher entered the room. "Good morning class, I am Miss Shoa and this is world history."
The person next to Shu looked ready to take a nap. Shu noticed the teacher about to embarrass him, so Shu decided to be nice and stealthily bends the earth under his feet in order to get him alert. It works. "Can you tell the class who it was that found the major flaw in the Harmony Restoration Movement, what the flaw was, and how it resolved?"
Without missing a beat he answered the question. "Fire Lord Zuko found the flaw, and that was the generations of people intermixing between the two nations and the families and lives that would torn apart, and it was resolved by a near collision between Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom forces until King Kuei decided to meet the people of Yu Dao."
The class blinked a few times before the teacher spoke. "Very good…"
Teacher forgot to have the class introduce themselves. "Zuko." He grumbled.
The class looked at him funny, while Shu giggled him a little at the irony of the situation. The class later went on until the bell rang dismissing everyone. Shu got up and was about to leave when she felt someone put a hand on her shoulder. "Thanks, any later and I would be the guy who got scolded." Zuko whispered.
Zuko then went and left but not before saying one thing, "I hope to see you around sometime."
Shu just shook her head, as she headed to her next class. She got there meeting up with Lahna, "So how did first period go?" She asked.
"It was fine." Shu replies. "How about you?"
"Same, science to me is so boring, but the day is about introducing the school so I made a good first impression."
The math teacher managed to get the class to pay attention to him despite his low mono-tone voice. "Class, I'd like to welcome you to the math course Geometry."
Both Shu and Lahna looked at each other briefly until they attempted to focus on their boring teacher. They were hoping for more excitement later in the day. Second period did eventually end, and the pair separated until lunch time.
