Katara's POV
I could feel his cool breath against my skin making my head lean in more wanting to get more of it. I looked down at his lips for a moment I couldn't help but see how soft, smooth and warm they looked and I momentarily imagined how they would feel against mine. The logical part of my brain wanted to stop what was happening but it lost and I kept leaning slowly in. I actually wanted this. His lips were almost on mine barely grazing mine but then he instantly shot up quickly as if he had been burned. I could feel the confused look on my face, did he not want to kiss me? He looked down at his watch and looked down to the ground not meeting my eyes. "Class starts in an hour so we should get going" he said slowly still not meeting my eyes.
"Aang" I said quietly but he didn't reply and got up putting a hand towards me to help me up, staring off into the distance. I reluctantly took his hand and got up but he was still holding my hand longer than necessary. I think he noticed this because he instantly let go of my hand. It was weird when he held my hand it felt really…good? Also kind of like a zap or more like and electrical current it seemed like something you were read in books but it was true. He finally looked up at me and I was surprised to see that his face was completely unreadable which was weird because I could usually read him so easily but that was six years ago, I reminded myself.
"Um I have to go do something before class so I guess I will see you later?" He said more like a question than a statement. I cursed at how even his voice was unreadable and I wished that I could read his mind. I nodded and watched as he ran off towards his dorm room. I walked slowly to my dorm room surprised that I didn't bump into anyone or trip because my mind was in a whole other world.
"Hey! I was wondering if we could-"Suki started but I just huffed angrily and headed to my room. I could hear there talking voices behind me.
"What's the matter with Sweetness?"Toph asked. "Oh she was alone with Aang this morning." My eye twitched at his name but heart speed up at the same time. How is that even possible? I thought.
"Well we should give her space when she wants to talk she will" I heard Suki say. I was happy that nobody would bother me about this. I walked into my room slamming the door and cringed not realizing how much strength I put into closing it. I sat on my bed staring at the white plains of the wall just thinking about what happened. We almost kissed and I really wanted it I felt like I needed that kiss and it was so nice having his warm, muscular body up against mine but it didn't happen. Why didn't he kiss me? Is there something wrong with me? Who am I kidding he could get any girl that he wants that is much better and prettier than me. I still have a feeling that he wanted to kiss me though for some reason but it may just be what my mind wants to see. But then when he held his hand out to mine he kept holding in even when I got up like it wanted to be there.
I groaned this was all so confusing especially since there was no way to find out what he was thinking. If only I was able to look into his eyes then I was sure I would be able to see all of what he was feeling. But the thing that annoyed me the most was that I actually like him and not just for his looks. He was so nice to me even when I was a total bitch towards him. He also looked so carefree and happy today just enjoying life. He always knew how to have fun with the gang and was really funny too. He never got big headed or acknowledged all the flirting from the female population. I could go on a on about the things that I like so much about him. Any girl would easily fall for him including me, Katara the girl that wouldn't even recognize another boy's presence. But why did it have to be him and why did it have to be now? I don't know where the confidence came from but as soon as I see Aang I cam going to ask him what's up and if he doesn't like me then so be it.

Azula's POV *shudders* lol
I finally got though the plan to him since I knew that waterbending peasant wouldn't believe just me so I had to get someone that she kind of trusted at least more than me. "Do you understand the plan?" I said for the tenth time, I wish I could do this alone because if you want something done right you have to do it yourself since there are only imbeciles in the world. Except for me of course and maybe my father.
"Yeah I got ya so I get my part of the deal." I rolled my eyes we have already gone through this.
"Yes but I don't even know why you would want that scum"
"Hey she's hot." I just scoffed
"If by hot you mean an annoying trying to act innocent slutty bitch that looks like a cross between a monkey's ass and a deformed elephant. Don't get me started about her ugly clothes or her long, stringy, greasy hair." He just rolled his eyes and ignored my comment. I went and sat down in my class early to talk to Ty Lee so I can ready my plan.

Katara's POV
I was extremely happy humming to my favorite song which reminded me of how I hadn't sung in a while. "Hi" I said cheerily to Toph, Suki and Mai.
"Well why aren't you the peppy one today, total opposite of when you came in this morning." Toph said
"Yeah I just realized something." I said smiling like an idiot
"Kind of creepy" Toph said under her breath.
"Well I'm gonna head over to class so see you all later." With that I was out the door to head to my class. I still couldn't believe that I admitted to myself how much I like Aang my mind must be really happy right now, no more denial. Even if he didn't want me which I wouldn't blame him if he didn't things was still good. I actual felt like a regular human girl which I haven't felt in a while. I had to grow up so fast and deal with things other people didn't have to and all my emotions were blocked out. But this was a new emotion and it felt good. It just felt nice feeling really alive with like a normal person with a feeling that I never felt before. I went to sit in my seat for class, my mind was still on Aang. I still managed to take notes from the lecture, I have always been great at multitasking. Toph's words from yesterday kept going through my mind again
"You just have to face it that you like Twinkle Toes and he likes you!"I wasn't sure how true the last part was but I would never say anything against Toph. You never wanted to bet against Toph like ever. But Sokka always would to this day which would just end badly for him, I have no idea how Suki even deals with my brother even I could barely. He did have his really smart, serious moments like when he would try to comfort me about my mother but it was amazing how quickly he could go from that to the meat and sarcasm guy who cracks bad jokes. I did love that about him though, his ability to change at the appropriate times. Maybe that is how Suki deals with him he probably just acts a little different around her. Always knowing what is needed of him.
Hm I guess you do learn something new every day I mused. But instantly as it had been doing lately my mind wandered back off to Aang. Just thinking about him, daydreaming, thinking anything that has to do with him. It was really annoying but it would be harder to fight it so I just invited it I just loved feeling so alive for the first time in 6 years. Ah the number 6 that number I would always forever be stuck too especially when you put the word years after it which loves to show up in conversations. The long lecture was over and I looked down at my notes proud that I managed to get all my notes on the paper.
I was used to it though, during class my hand and part of my brain would just always transition to auto pilot. I began gathering up my stuff so I can place them in my bag so I could get home and finish that long dreaded research paper that was due tomorrow. But then that changed when Aang's name made its way to my ears.

That's the end of the chapter and sorry it was so short just this week is so hectic I don't even want to think about all the tests, projects and homework that is due on Friday. I will make the next few chapters longer even if it kills me because I hate short chapters even know I have seen many shorter than this but still. But hey I still updated within a week didn't I? *Hypnotizes readers into reviewing which helps author make better chapters*
