Chapter Three

By: Frodo-Swaggins 32

Ok here is the next chapter! And I may or may not explore Haru&Katara ;D But do not fret my fellow Kataang fans It will be Kataang in the end :D

Aang

Me and Katara sat together for class but she didn't just sit by me she sat by Haru. Katara faced Haru putting her back to my face. I don't thinks she doing it on purpose but I don't like the way Haru is flirting with her, but most of all I hated how Katara seemed to like it! Katara just kept feeding it! Laughing and just eating up all of the attention Haru was giving her… I mean I know, I just met Katara but I started having feelings for her, to make it worse I thought she may have felt the same way. "How could I be so STUPID" I thought. I looked over at Teo, he knew I was upset; I always have been a wear my heart on my sleeve kind of guy.

"Hey Aang can I talk to you real quick?" I nodded and we walked out into the empty hallway. I just slouched over and sat on the floor.

"Hey Aang so what is up? Do you like Katara or something?" Teo asked in a real caring voice

"Yeah; Well, I don't know Teo. Like we just met, But when I saw this morning it's like, I don't know but I just felt something. Something I've never felt before, then we just happened to bump Into each other! And not only that have ALL of the same classes! I don't know Teo, but it's like fate." After I said that I felt like such an idiot! Fate Oh yeah like that's a thing! Katara was just another beautiful girl that he could never be with.

No Katara was MORE than that! Even though we just met she was different than any girl here. In our short time together; Katara was funny, very smart (Probably smarter than me!), we had a lot of the same interest, and she made me very happy. And that did not happen very often for me.

Teo didn't say anything, he could tell I was having some kind of internal battle; which I was. Then he began.

"Well she did seem to really cling to you when you guys got here. And honestly Aang in the past 4 years I've known you, you have NEVER like been interested in anyone at least not in a major way like this. So maybe there is a special connection between you and Katara. She's new here and is probably just trying to fit in that's probably why she's being so nice to Haru"

"No she is flirting with him because he is like 20 times better than me" I thought

Teo Continued " But don't worry bro, it is still only the first day of school after all. There is still lots of time for you to get together with Katara" Teo finished with a big grin on his face and started to chuckle. And I couldn't help but to chuckle along.

"Hey thanks Teo, this really helped"! I gave him a fist bump and we re entered the lab. Katara was still chatting it up with Haru, and I still didn't like it but I figured I would focus on my illustration but before I could even finish the construction lines the bell went off signaling for lunch. Me, Katara, Teo and Haru made our way to the main building and pushed our way through the crowd of people and into the line to get lunch. Once we got our food Me and Teo sat down with Toph. But Katara and Haru seemed undecided on where to sit.

"Hey Katara, Haru; Come sit with us!" I hollered over the very loud cafeteria. Then Haru said something into Katara's ear, but I couldn't hear over the noise. Then Katara walked over to me and Teo.

She was pretty quiet and shy, almost like she didn't even know me…

"Um hey Aang I'm going to eat lunch with Haru, and his friends" My heart dropped.

"Oh ok" It's all I could muster up. Why couldn't we all sit together. Or why couldn't Katara sit with us? I thought I was about to continue wallowing in my hurt feelings but Toph had known something was wrong.

"Aang your heart just went Really slow. What up with you and that girl?" She asked firmly.

"Nothing, don't worry about it" I said in a bitter tone. I just took a big bite of my salad. I didn't want to talk about it.

"Now, now Twinkletoes." I hated that name! "You and I both know that something is up! Now tell me before I beat the shit out of you!" Her voice getting louder and louder

"Ok, Ok." I didn't want to make a big scene so I told her everything. Starting with how I saw her on the bus and then how I bumped into he and then how we talked and really connected! Then about how it was almost like fate! She didn't seem too convinced but I pressed on with the story with every detail. "Then Her and Haru started flirting. I don't know, I thought maybe there. But I was Wrong!" I could feel the tears rising in my eyes, I looked over and saw Katara standing by Haru and his friends. Just staring. I just couldn't take it, I ran outside with all kinds of painful memories rushing threw my head. Thoughts of sadness and agony. But not just from Katara but then I started thinking of my mom. And how she was taken away from me when I was only nine years old. Slowly and painfully slipping away into death. All I could do was sit there and cry.

Teo

Me and Toph were silent, Toph couldn't see but I saw Katara just standing there just completely dumbfounded at what just happened. Did she know Aang likes her? Did she care? Did she like him back? If she did why did she start flirting with Haru like that? Wouldn't she know that would hurt Aang"

"What a Bitch" Toph blurted out in anger. "Where Is this little water tribe bitch? Nobody plays Aang like that! No One"

Oh no this was bad, Aang was practically Toph's little brother; even though they were the same age Aang had always been soft and tender like a little sibling while Toph had always been strong and Very protective of Aang.

"I don't know Toph"

"Teo I know that you are lying! Now point her out to me NOW!" Toph shouted which caused almost the whole cafeteria to hush.

But before I told her thank god Aang had come back inside. He looked awful, he was only gone for about 8 or 9 minutes but he had obviously been crying, like a lot.

"Toph It's fine, can we just talk later about it. I'm going to go to the art building for the rest of lunch and next free period." And with that he left.

Thankfully Toph had calm down knowing that Aang wouldn't want her to cause a scene. Aang took a sharp turn, He was going to the small alle-cart cafe but he seemed to hear something because he began to look even more somber than before.

Aang

I decided to get a drink from the cafe and it just so happened that Katara and Haru were sitting right by the cafe… "Just my luck" I thought. When waiting in line that's when I heard Haru.

"Hey Katara I know we've only known each other for a little while. But, would you want to like go out to a movie or something on friday?"

Katara just kindd of sat there shocked, I didn't dare look at them; Hoping, no praying she would say no…

"OH yes I would love to Haru!" Katara squealed.

I just picked up my drink and left. Halfway down the hall I just went into an all out sprint, I couldn't get out of that building fast enough! I continued to run until I go to the art building. It had been like my 2nd home while in this hell we call high school.

I just sat in the empty classroom and drew dark broken pencil shade drawings. I always made the best art when I was sad. I poured all of my emotion into my art. But sadly The free period had to end sometime. So I made my way to chemistry, dreading who was going to be there; Katara. She had seen him a sobbing emotional wreck, any chance with her and me died at lunch; forever never to return.

"Hey Aang" Katara said in a chipper tone.

"Was she just totally oblivious to how she made me feel earlier? Or did she simply relish in my pain?" I thought

"Hey Katara, how was your free period?" I tried to just shrug what happened earlier off. Maybe she didn't notice hme earlier.

"It was so good Aang! Me, Haru, And some of his friends went outside and played soccer! Next time you should join us."

"Yeah I'll think about it"

"How and Guess what Aang!?"

"What is it?" I said trying to not sound annoyed.

"Haru asked me out! Were going to a movie on friday! Isn't that awesome!" She was just ecstatic.

I am Dead Inside

"Oh that's great katara" Mr. Jon Jon could not come fast enough. But he still wasn't here…

"So what did you do for the free period Aang?"

I couldn't even talk, any feeling I had was gone. So I just handed her the haunting pictures I had drawn and threw my head onto the table. Maybe now she would get a clue.

Katara

Aang had seemed different from this morning but then he handed me these drawings they were black and grey. But beautiful they seemed like something Mai would draw. Dark, haunting, yet beautiful. Then I saw the picture Aang purposefully put at the bottom of the stack, almost like He didn't want me to see it.

It was a young bald airbender, sitting in a forest, crying. Then It hit me like a stack of bricks!

It was Him, almost like a portrait of himself.
