Chapter 6

I am so happy about all the reviews I got for my last chapter! That is a lot like 9! And yes normally the coach would tell a girl but hey its college and I think their okay and since when fanfiction ever normal lol?

Disclaimer: If its fanfiction then why do I need a disclaimer it just makes me sad that I do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender!

Previously on Hate, Love, Friendships and College: "Aang, I need you to help Katara and help her train for track." He said.

What! Him train me, I looked up at sky why does the universe hate me?

"Shouldn't you teach me after all you are the coach?" I told him.

"Normally I would but this class is for people that have already done track and I have a whole other class to teach, Aang is the best runner so he should help" He said. I looked at Aang and knew that no matter what I said it would happen.

"Fine" I whispered.

"Great! So you two can work out a schedule or something" He said walking away. I looked up at Aang and him and I both blushed and looked away. Gosh, first the cuddling on him, the dream and now this. The universe is trying to tell you something. My mind told me but I just disregarded that it wasn't true this was just the universe playing a trick. He cleared his throat and spoke up.

"How about we start tomorrow morning 5:30 so we'll be done before classes?" Wait what I must have been listening wrong.

"5:30…am?"He just nodded his head and my jaw dropped I could not wake up that early but I still agreed anyway.

"Okay" I said and he smiled.

"See you tomorrow" He said. I began to feel kind of nervous but excited, this was the first time we would be alone together in six years.

Line Break

Aang's POV

I walked happily to my dorm to prepare for my next class. I was excited for tomorrow morning I would actually get to be alone with Katara maybe I could get her to change what she thought about me. I groaned when I saw Azula in my path she just happened to have gone to the same college as me. I walked passed her hoping that she would not say anything but unfortunately that didn't happen.

"Aang" she said and I slowly turned around and then I spoke up.

"No Azula for the last time I am not going out with you" I told her. Every since she saw a few girls flirting with she has been trying to get me to go out her. I mentally rolled my eyes I was just a prize to her. Her smile instantly left her face.

"Why but you know my dad is rich and I might as well be a princess!" She yelled "Not to mention I am the most beautiful girl at this university and a master firebender". I didn't really listen to what she was saying but I spotted Katara at mention of the word beautiful. Katara was walking to her dorm and even know she was sweaty, still in her track clothes and was wearing her hair in a messy bun she was still stunning. Azula followed my gaze and scoffed.

"It's that waterbender peasant!" she spat

"Don't call her that! This has nothing to do with her"

"Well I hope you have a good day but just so you know this is not over" She said fake smiling and fortunately walking away. I finally got to my dorm and prepared for the rest of the day.

Katara's POV

I walked into my dorm after a long day of classes thinking about the long research paper that was due next week. I walked in and saw that only Toph was there, I set my stuff down.

"How was your day?" I asked her

"Fine, yours"

"Fine except for that I have to wake up at five in the morning since Aang has to help with track". Toph began laughing.

"You and track" She said pointing me

"Hey! It's not my fault I didn't ask for this"

"Well you should be happy then"

"What does that mean?" I said drinking out of my bottle of water.

"It should be good since you like him." I instantly choked on some of my water did she have to be so blunt?

"What!" I said coughing

"Gosh Katara I am blind and even I can tell the chemistry between you two! Your heartbeats always speed up when you're around each other and you're blushing its discusting really." I was silent and didn't know what to say then she continued.

"And it is really annoying that you are both too much of pansies to do anything about it." I finally said something.

"That is not true there is no chemistry yes I do admit that he is very attractive but what girl isn't attracted to him but that is all."

"Doesn't it get tiring telling yourself that? You just have to face it that you like Twinkle Toes and he likes you!" She said storming back to her room. I sighed and went to my room to work on my paper before going to sleep.

No POV

Aang was currently waiting outside of Katara's door waiting for her to come out so they could get started. "Hi" he said cheerily when she came out. She said something incoherent in return but waved back to him as a hello. He laughed "You look exhausted" he told her while she was yawning noticing the dark circles under her eyes.

"Well I'm not that much of a morning person I rise with the moon not the sun." She said tired and wondering how in the word he could be this energetic and joyful this morning.

"I rise with both." It was such a simple statement but it felt like it had a double meaning behind it.

They walked to the field and were about to start running but the momentarily stopped to watch the sunrise. Maybe there is an advantage to waking up early Katara thought. The sunrise was absolutely beautiful to watch. You could see sun's rays peeking out though the horizon and the clouds instantly were lit with gleaming, warm light illuminating the Earth. A marvelous swirl of yellow, orange, pinks, reds and even a little bit of purple among fluffy clouds. Aang closed his eyes feeling and taking in the sun's energy realizing that he hadn't practiced firebending in a while.

After the sunrise they finally got started with a few questions from Katara. "So how is that you run so well and that I never knew about running abilities" She asked him. He just shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm not really sure I just kind of run and I love the way it feels, it's just a rush and it makes you feel more in control of your body and mind. When I'm running even without airbending if feels like I am controlling the air as a cut though it and feel it breeze past me. Each one of my feet going quickly on the ground that it almost feels as if I'm flying and it feels as if your body is functioning on one unit like everything is connected. I know it might sound stupid-." Katara cut him off

"No it isn't stupid" She said simply starting into his eyes intently. He just smiled back at her happy that she somewhat understood him.

Line Break

Aang and Katara were currently sitting taking a break from there hour of running. Katara thought over about running and how she hated it but she didn't hate it so much anymore, she realized that all the things that Aang said were true. She was happy that she got to be alone with him she saw more of his old 12 year self but more mature and a little different. She couldn't put a finger on it but there was something really different about him, something big even possibly life changing. Maybe Toph was right and that Aang wasn't a bad guy after all, just maybe she may…she was cut out of her thoughts as he spoke. "So how often do you want to do this?"

She thought about it for a moment "How about this same day, same time every week." He nodded.

"So where is one of your comments?"

"Hmm?" she said not really paying attention just staring at him.

"Like in the car yesterday"

"Oh hmm your right I haven't said one okay well were you just showing off for all the girls in track yesterday?" She said smiling.

"There she is!" he said as they both laughed but then Katara smiled devilishly.

"Catch me!" she said as she bolted off running

"Oh no you don't!" he exclaimed as he took off for her

She because running into a forest area until she couldn't hear him anymore, she took time the catch her breath. She smiled knowing that she won until she heard some rustling from a tree. She was momentarily scared thinking it was an animal and she was ready for an attack. But then Aang leaped from a tree pouncing on her gently as to not hurt her. He landed right on top of her pinning her to the ground.

"So I guess this means that I won this victory?" he said cockily

"Hey that's just because you were in the tree". They both laughed and instantly got quiet noticing the position they were in but nobody moved. The keep just starting into each other's eyes for a long time just feeling each other's slow breaths. Toph's words yesterday kept going though Katara's mind,"You just have to face it that you like Twinkle Toes and he likes you!" Then they kept inching their heads closer and closer knowing fully what was about to happen.
