Author's Note: What's happening good people? You may be surprised that i updated this so early, well i was thinking of new ideas throughout the day and i expanded on it. This chapter is the culmination of all my thoughts and ideas of today. I introduce two familiar characters but i dont mention their names, it's up to YOU the READER to figure out who they are. With a little thought it won't be to hard to figure out who it is. Oh and just an FYI, Aang is 17 years old in this story. I will gradually include all of the characters from the show into the story as soon as I figure out how to incorporate them. This chapter is also where the profanity kicks in so hence the M rating so just a heads up. Enjoy.
Aang drove up the street towards the university with rock music still blasting through the windows. People that were walking on the street could hear his car from a hundred yards away and stared at him, some looked with awe at his car and some looked with annoyance while covering their ears. He started to take notice at the classical architecture of the buildings and the kids that were still staring at him. He saw that most of the students dressed pretty casual since it was still summer but their attire would change eventually with the season. Aang continued to drive down the street and he saw the cheerleaders practicing their routine on the football field. Aang decreased his speed to a cruising level as he drove past the field admiring their athletic and full physique. One particular girl caught his eye, she had long dark brown hair that reached her waist, dark brown skin, a smooth complexion, long legs that seemed to go on forever and was only accentuated by her white mini-skirt, and eyes as blue as the ocean. Her eyes were so bright, it was as if she was staring right at Aang even though he was a good 50 yards away from her. Aang lowered his shades to the bridge of his nose so that he could see her with the natural light. Daaaayyyummm, he thought. That girl is soooo fine. The girl was standing next to a drink cooler when she noticed that someone was staring at her from the street inside an all-white car with his shades lowered. She gave a small wave and smile at Aang who noticed her gesture. He blushed intensely and quickly pushed his shades back up and continued to drive down the street. That's not creepy at all the girl thought in a sarcastic tone. "Well that wasn't creepy of me at all." Aang said to himself as he shifted into the next gear.
Aang found a parking spot on the side street and engaged the parking brake but he didn't turn the engine off, he was listening to Phil Collin's In the Air Tonight on his iPod and he wanted to finish the rest of the song. " I want to at least get to the drum solo." Once he heard the drums kick in, he imitated it with much enthusiasm, causing his aviator shades to shake loose and fall to the floor. The song ended and after Aang came out of his 'moment' he saw a few girls staring at him like he was a freak. He yelled out his window, "What it's Phil Collins! Don't tell me you haven't done it before!" as he pointed at them when he said 'you'. The girl's giggled and one of them whispered to the other:
"What a weirdo, but he does look kinda cute."
"Eh, i guess if your into that sorta thing." the other said with an emphasis on that.
The other girl shrugged it off and they continued walking. Aang turned off his car and put his iPod back into his backpack. He stepped out of his car and inhaled deeply. "Aah smells like this is gonna be a good year." Then he started making his way to the school office to grab his schedule while pushing the button that locked his car, it chirped in response, "I'll be back soon Appa." he said as he waved at his 'companion'. On his way to the office he noticed a huge bronze sculpture of a woman dressed in a warrior's outfit and was holding fans in each of her hands while crouching in a fighting pose. "This must be Avatar Kyoshi." he stated. He continued walking towards the office, once he got there he walked up to the lady at the desk.
"Hello, im here for my schedule Ms?..." he waited for her to fill in the blank.
"Joo-Dee young man."
"Well Ms. Joo-Dee my name is Aang Arroyo, im a freshman and im here for my schedule." Aang said confidently. Joo Dee turned and started flipping through some papers that were in a filing cabinet.
"Ah, here you are Mr. Arroyo." as she gave him his paper.
"Thank you." he said while making his way towards the exit.
Once he was outside again, he looked at his new schedule for the semester. First period: 8:00-9:45, Life and Works of Avatar Kyoshi, Room 301, second: 9:50-10:30, Advanced Algebra & Trigonometry, Room 608, followed by a twenty minute activity period, third: 10:55-11:35, Shakespearean Literature, Room 587, fourth: 11:40-12:30, P.E, in the gym, followed by a two hour lunch break, fifth: 2:40-3:30, Ecology, in the science lab, sixth: 3:35-4:20 Drum-line, on the football field. Drum-line was his last class and he snickered at the time that it ended. "Maybe it wouldn't hurt to try it at least once in this lifetime." he said reassuringly. Guitar was Aang's primary instrument but ever since his freshman year of high school he became increasingly good at percussion when he joined the marching band.
Aang perused his schedule and cringed when he saw 'Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry'. "Dammit, i already hate math as it is, why did they give me advanced algebra and trigonometry?" he muttered. Although Aang was the valedictorian of his graduating high school class, he always despised math since he learned addition and subtraction, he was more of an arts and english student. He checked his phone for the time, 7:45. "I can make it if I hurry." He started sprinting towards his first class which was on the other side of the campus. He was almost there but he rounded a corner too fast and accidentally bumped into a boy that was a few inches taller than him. The other boy had shaggy long hair, golden amber eyes, and a grotesque scar that covered the left side of his face. Aang fell down but the other boy stood there solid like a stone-wall.
"Hey watch it small-fry!" he exclaimed as he stood over Aang. Aang shook his head to regain his clarity and looked up at the boy, he couldn't help but stare at his scar. Aang accidentally began to think out loud.
"Oh shit, what happened to your face!" he exclaimed as he pointed at it with his index finger.
"All right now you just pissed me the fuck off." the boy said angrily. He grabbed Aang by the collar and threw him into a nearby utility closet and stuck a door stopper underneath so that Aang couldn't escape. " I had a hunch that you were in the closet." the scarred boy said as he chuckled at his own joke. The boy left Aang in the closet as he walked to get to his class. Shiiiiiiit, Aang thought. " It's my first day as a college freshman and I just HAD to piss somebody off because of my BIG mouth!" He started pounding on the door to see if anyone on the other side could hear him, but no one responded. After a few seconds, the bell rang and he knew that he was late for class. Thank you Universe, this is totally what i deserve, he thought with a sarcastic tone. No one can probably hear me anyway cause everyone's in class... like I SHOULD BE, he continued to think. "Can't do much now but try and yell for help when the bell rings and kids are outside." He sat down in the cramped utility closet and took out his schedule paper and looked for his first class. 8:00-9:45, Life and Works of Avatar Kyoshi, Room 301. "Fuuuck, that's probably an important class to not miss... I guess i can wait it out for 45 minutes." He took out his earphones and iPod and decided to kill time by listening to it. He chose the song 93' till Infinity by Souls of Mischief, Aang started to bob his head to the 'chill' beat and eventually fell asleep to the lyrics of the rappers that hailed from East Oakland California.
So that's it for this chapter, I thought it was pretty good, and if you didn't figure out who the characters were, i am sincerely sorry that you were dropped on your head as an infant. Also, do that read and review thing..
"...And we out...Peace"
