I was happy that I got a few favorites and reviews right after I posted chapter 1! I'm shooting for 2.5K words or more per chapter. I responded to your reviews below.
Guest: I will be putting a bit of Zutara in the story even though I ship kataang with my soul! I know he does have pretty cool eyes, mine are the same color! Yes, I'm changing up the charecters a bit, making them my own.
Logan1300: Thank you so much :)
KATAANG4LIFE: I wrote your votes down! Thank you!
Toko is my OTP: I love Zuko too! I'm trying to put every ship in in some way shape or form. I can't promise it's the main focus in the story but I can promise it will be in there!
Guest: Thank you very much. I wrote your votes down!
Man you guys are putting a lot of pressure on me!
As much as I begged, Bryke won't hand Avatar over to me!
Jenn POV
I woke up to 3 different phone alarms at 6 AM.
WE'RE BEAUTIFUL LIKE DIAMONDS IN THE SKYYY (Mine)
HEY BEAUTIFUL I VE SEEN YOU COMMING (Katara's)
I'M IN THE CLUB HIGH OF PURP WITH SOME SHADES ON (Toph's)
Two of the three stopped in a few seconds, but 23 stayed on.
Toph lay motionless in her bed. I could tell she was awake, she just didn't want to be.
"Hey, wake up sunshine." Katara joked as she hit her with a pillow. "We're gonna be late on our first day!"
"Don't care. Sleep important." Toph mumbled from under her pillow. This was gonna take some effort.
I walked over to her bed and grabbed both of her feet, and pulled her off her bed and onto the floor. She made a weird noise that sounded like a cat being sent through a wood chopper then kicked me square in the face.
"Oh my god! What's your problem?" I cried cupping my face in my hands.
"NEVER TOUCH MY FEET!" She yelled back.
Katara rushed over and took my hands off my face to inspect the damage. "I don't think she broke anything, but you're going to have a briuse for a while." She whispered. "I would heal it if I could!"
I sighed and grabbed my uniform. "Thanks Katara. Let's go get ready." I walked out tward the bathrooms with Katara.
"What is her problem? I get that she was tired but she didn't have to kick you in the face!" Katara was clearly just as frusterated as I was with our roomate.
"Oh my god are you okay?" A girl asked as she was walking by. She had short brown hair and grey eyes.
"Oh, yea, umm, I just fell?" I stuttered. Wait, why did I just lie?
"Oh I do lots of makeup, I bet I could cover up the briuse for you! My name is Suki." I really wanted to trust this girl but it was hard.
"It's ok, I think I can handle it. Thanks for your offer though!" I responded. I felt bad, I just had trust issues.
"That's ok. See ya later!" She perked up.
"I would have let her I just don't know her-"
"It's okay. I get it. I woulden't let some stranger do my makeup either" Katara interupted.
BREAKFAT
Katara POV
It was me, Jenn, Zuko, Sokka, and Aang sitting around in our uniforms at 7 AM complaining about whatever crap had been put in front of us.
"Hey, Zuko have we compared scheduals yet?" I asked curiously. Comparing scheduals had been the activity of the morning.
I grabbed mine from my bag and took his from his hand.

"We have everything the same exept bending." I said as I handed him back his schedual.
Just then, Toph walked by our table silently and sat down over by Suki. We all watched her just leave.
"What's with her?" Sokka asked as he inspected his "Oatmeal".
"She kicked me in the face when I tried waking her up so me and Katara left her in the dorm while we walked over here." Jenn whisperd in a verry iritated and stiff voice. "That's how I got this briuse!" She took of her glasses and showed the table the t-shaped briuse on her was lucky. Her glasses did a pretty good job of hiding it.
FIRST PERIOD
I had to jog to get from the dining hall all the way to the gym, where the bending clasrooms where located.
I pushed open the heavy door and ran past The Boulder's gym class. Everyone was staring at me. I knew I had come in the wrong way. At the back of the gym there where four doors. One had the earth symbol painted on it, the other water, fire and non-bending. I tried to push the water door open, but it woulden't budge. Then I saw the "Pull" sign. I'm such an idiot!
The bell rang right as I sat down. The room was blue with wooden floors and a big whiteboard in the front of the room. There was also a door in the back wich most likely lead to wherever we would be doing our bending.
"Hello class, my name is Master Pakku, I am ABPA's waterbending master. I would like you to remain silet while I go over the rules. Number one, all homework that is turnned in late will recive a D at the best. No exeptions."
Master Pakku went on for what felt like hours just talking about rules. Eventualy he passesd out textbooks and made us write our names in the front cover and all the usual first day of class junk.
I got bored quickly and looked around for people I knew. The only person I saw was Aang. I din't know he was a waterbender! He just got more and more perfect..
SECOND PERIOD
I got to this class much easier then bending. Math had its own seperate building with four different halls for four differnt grades. The room was covered in white boards and there where Expo markers everywhere. The smell made me dizzy. I guess I would just have to get used to it.
Everyone I had met so fat was in this class. Azula, Zuko, Aang, Sokka, Jenn, Toph, Suki...
"Good morining class. Welcome to second period math. I am Master Jeong Jeong. I also teach firebending in the afternoons, so some of you may have me twice."
Zuko facepalmed and I stifled a laugh. The poor guy had him twice a day! That must suck.
This class was worse than I expected. He gave us our textbooks and started the first lesson right away.
"Factorizing a cubic function given one of the factors.."
Then' he wrote this on the board-
Given that (x+3) is one factor of 2 x to the power of 3 - x to the power of 2 -18 x+9, find the other factors
I'm doomed. He kept on blabbering then everyone started scribbling in their notebooks.
"Katara? Can you awnser this problem?" Jeong Jeong asked. Oh sh*t. I'm doomed.
"Umm, I haven't finished working yet." I lied.
"Verry well. Jenn?" He asked as he turnned his head. "You have your hand up. Go ahead."
"Our factors are now x plus three and two x to the power of two minus 7 x plus 3. We now factorize two x to the power of two minus seven x plus threee to 2x minus 1 x minus 3 so the complete factors are, x plus three, two x minus 1 and x minus 3. If we where asked to solve the equation of our original cubic function we will have x plus three, two x minus 1 and x minus 3 equals zero. So x equals 3 or x equals one half or x equals 3." Jenn finished and everyone just stared.
"Very well done Jenn!" Jeong Jeong praised. Jenn just sat there blushing. She obviously was embarassed of all the attention she was recieving.
Now I had a reason to hate this class. My roomate was a know-it-all.
THIRD PERIOD
Apparently our first day of music is all tryouts. You can try out for band or chorus and I was probably going to go for chorus. I played piano but I just didn't want to put in the extra effort of practicing every day. If I failed both auditions, they just stick those kids in general music where you learn about famous musicians and stuff.
"Alright everyone take a seat! I am Long Feing and I am the music teacher. Today we will be holding tryouts. If you are trying out for band, I would like you to sit on the left side of the room. Chorus tryouts on the right. I will be starting with chorus. You are to sing 1 piece, you may play piano if you like or you may have someone from band acompany you. That will also count for their audition. If you want to sign up for general music please go to the back of the room."
Everyone began shifting and moving around. I saw Jenn with a violin on the band side. Everyone else was on the chorus side.
"You there, up up up!" Long Feing said to me. I was first? Oh no.. no no no no NO.
"Can I wait a bit?" I asked hopefully. "I need more time."
"Nonsense. Up. Now." He whisperd as he brought me to the front of the room.
I gave my name and sat down at the piano. "I will be singing Defying Gravity from the musical Wicked." I placed my hands on the keys and took a deep breath. I played the first notes.
Something has changed within me
Something is not the the same
I'm through with playing by the rules of someone elses game
Too late for second guessing,
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap
It's time to try defying gravity..
The song ended and everyone clapped. Long Feing smiled and shouted "NEXT"
"That was amazing Katara." Aang whispered as I sat down.
"Aww thanks. I was really nervous." I whispered back.
The rest of the auditions where pretty interesting. One kid played party in the USA on his tuba.
When Jenn's audition came, she played a cover of Radioactive by Imagine Dragons and everyone was surprised at how amazing she sounded and how calm she was in front of everyone. Five chorus members sang the words and I couldent belive how amazing they where. They probably got the most applause.
LUNCH
The luch lady put a piece of pizza on my plate and told me to "Move it". I walked over to our table and sat down and sighed.
"So how has your day been going?" I asked the whole table.
"I think my mushroom just crawled away." Aang whispered as he sated at horror at whatever was in front of him. "I'm not eating." He pushed his tray out in front of him.
"It sucked because I have every class with Jenna." Toph scoffed. Here we go..
"Don't call me Jenna!" Jenn yelled. "And this whole YEAR is going to suck because I have to spend it with you!"
"Guess what? I'm going to go sit with Suki again because I CAN'T BE AROUND YOU." Toph screamed at Jenn.
"GREAT NOW I DON'T HAVE TO LOOK AT YOUR UGLY FACE!"
"Both of you stop!" Aang yelled as he put his hands up. "If you're going to fight your going to do it where I don't have to listen yo you!"
Toph was already up and gone and with Suki. Why can't they just get along?
FOURTH PERIOD
I walked into the science building about 5 minuets before class started. The sience hall was full of kids science progects and live animals. I was fine with the science projects, but having millions of tiny reptiles staring at you is pretty creepy.
I fould the door that said "Commander Zhao". I reached out and twisted the silver handel and this time I made sure I pushed the door open.
I looked around the room for empty seats and I almost screamed when I saw an open seat next to Aang. I ran over to where he was sitting and quickly sat down. I put my bookbag on the back of my chair and looked over at him.
"Hey." I said with a smile. I felt really awkward talking to him.
"Hi, Katara." He replied. We got into a real conversation about math class and Jenn and Toph's war, until some counciler came up too Aang and said:
"Avatar Aang, we need to speak with you about your bending classes. It will only take a moment."
"Sorry, Katara. I'll be right back." He blushed as he got up and walked away.
HE WAS THE AVATAR? Sweet Jesus how can this guy get any better? I guess that was the problem. He can't get any better. Somone that perfect would never go out with me in a million years.
Admiral Zaho walked into the classroom slowly and looked over the students in the class. I felt uncomfortable as his eyes stopped at me for a few seconds and moved on.
"Good afternoon class. I can not promise today will be exiting, but I can promise you will learn something!" Admiral Zaho had a huge smile on his face. You could tell it was one of those "I hate my job" smiles.
Then he went on for about 20 minuets just talking about his life. Aang came back sometime in the middle of that. We started passing notes back and forth.
Bold: Aang
Italics: Katara
Are you really the Avatar?
Yes sorry I never told you
Is that why you have the tatoos?
Yep
So you're only going to be in my bending class the first quarter?
Ya sorry! I really like waterbending
That's when the class ended.
Well there's part 1! I hope you guys liked it. I've decided to post new chapters every Sunday from now on. I'm sorry about the spelling errors.
I'm also sorry if I never replied to your comment. I will try as hard as I can. Keep giving me sugestions I love them!
