It's been 3 days since Zen fully moved into the dorm and so far he is loving his bed.

"Zen wake up, You got a class in an hour bro" Zuko was shaking Zen but all Zen could feel is the coziness of his bed.

"10 more minutes" He mumbled.

Zuko shook his head "You're hopeless"

"Time to bring out the big guns" Zuko whispered quietly while he reached out for the water gun and sprayed it to Zen's face

"WHAT THE SHOOT? BRO!" Zen groaned.

"You know when the other see that you're like this. I'm sure they're gonna think you're bipolar. So wake up and I'll stop spraying you." Zuko still pointing the water gun at the younger guy.

"fine.." Zen pouted as he got down from his comfy loft bed.

"Don't worry it's Saturday tomorrow. You can sleep in." Zuko placed his watergun at a special place in case Zen plans to take it when he can't see him.

Zen suddenly felt lively but only lasted for 5 seconds but manage to say "I can't wait for tomorrow!"

Zen walked in the bathroom to wash himself. He grabbed his black bag and walked out of their dorm. He put on his headset and played some music. Then he entered a shop to buy some toast to go because he doesn't have the leisure to sit around, he ate the toast while walking. After finishing his toast he is there at his class.

"Hey sleepyhead how are you?" Katara placed down her bag and sat beside Zen who is clearly in a deep slumber.

'seems like he is alseep. I want to touch his hair. Maybe I can just try it just once'

Katara slightly touched Zen's hair then after a while she runs her hand on his hair.

"mmm.." Startled by Zen's motion she quickly removed her hand.

He slowly opened his eyes "Why did you stop?" He said while struggling to open his eyes completely

Katara froze that Zen knew she was touching his hair.

He was awake? no way he was clearly sleeping.

"Were you.. awake?" Katara asked nervously and looks away.

"Uhm nah not really but I knew it was you, so it's alright" Zen put his head down again and closed his eyes.

"Could you wake me up when the prof arrive? thanks" He grab her hand and put it on top of his head allowing her to ruffle his hair as she likes.

He knew it was me and it was alright? what does that even mean?? Not good Katara your head is gonna be filled with him. FOCUS.

The professor entered the room and Katara woke Zen up. The whole class time Zen is struggling to keep his eyes open so he needed to squint a lot to focus. While Katara kept on stealing glances.

"Ugh finally the class ended" Zen slumped to his seat but his schedule has other plans for him.

"Actually we still have another class" Katara mentioned while packing her things up

"Then another war has begun" Zen sat up then slammed the table.

Katara was shocked and furrowed her brows

"What's our next class anyway?" Zen looked at her.

"It's economics by Mr. Lorenzo" Katara told him and Zen's face fell.

"Damn can't really sleep in his class." Zen groaned and remembered what happened his first day there.

After their classes, Zen was now feeling energetic and went to change his clothes and brought a soccer ball to the field.

He closed his eyes as he inhaled the air. "Let's do this, shall we?" He grin and began dribbling the ball doing tricks then he shot at the left upper corner. "And he SCOREESSSSS!!" Zen shouted while throwing his celebrate post.

Katara, Suki and Toph who were near, happened to see Zen.

"He is like a little kid!" Katara told the other girls gleefully.

"Yeah you're right and it's cute" Suki said

"Did you guys see that awesome shot? Damn SleepyAce is really good!" Toph talking about Zen who just got his nickname from Toph.

"How bout we stay and watch him practice?" Katara suggested. The girls agreed and contacted the other guys to watch.

After an hour of non stop practice, Zen slumped down the ground.

"Hey look a girl is making a move on him. She's offering him a water!" Suki narrated

"Suki, I can see that." Katara stood up from her seat and walk towards the soccer boy.

Suki saw Katara walk towards Zen then grinned. And she still says that she doesn't like him.

"Hey sleepyhead" Katara greeted Zen

"Hey Katara, what's up?" Zen look at Katara.

"We were watching you practice" Katara was now looking at the girl.

"Excuse me I believe that I was here first" The girl who offered the water said.

"So?" Katara glared at the girl.

"Would you mind backing off?" The girl was getting furious.

"You don't get to say that. Zen will decide that not you" Katara stated.

Zen who was sitting now stood up. looking at the girl "Sorry but I have an appointment with my friends"

Katara still glared at the girl.

Zen covered Katara's eyes "Stop it, you're gonna age if you keep on looking like that"

Katara smacked Zen's arms. Zen just laughed.

"Come on I'm starving and I still need to practice." Zen smiled at Katara then walks back to the gang.

"Nice practice there Zen" Aang took a bite from the sandwich.

"Oh so you're all here. Huh? Why didn't I noticed that" Zen shrugged his shoulders and wiped his hands.

"You are so into it, That's why." Katara grab a sandwich and gave it to Zen which he accepted and took a massive bite.

"Next week is your try outs right? Don't worry you'll ace it" Sokka assured Zen.

"Mhmm mmmm m mmm mm" Was all Zen can say because his mouth is still full of food which he manage to choke in.

Katara quickly gave Zen a bottle of water and patted his back. "You should really finish chewing and swallowing before you speak"

Zen made an OK sigh at his hands as he drank the water. After a few seconds "I said this isn't much of a practice in fielding but it will be great for my dribble and shooting. Try outs will be like a match, you got to show your skills in team cooperation and in individual."

"Weren't you the MVP of last year's cup tournament? How come the coach didn't scout you?" Toph was wondering.

"Well yeah. I'm already at the team but I still need to try out" Zen stated simply.

"YOU ARE WHAT NOW?" The gang said uniformly

"Did you practice that or just a coincidence?" Zen looked at them jokingly.

"A coincidence and how could you not say something to us?? Why didn't yo spread the news buddy?" Sokka was now standing up holding Zen by the shoulders and shaking him.

"Well I just remembered it now and he just asked me a while ago when I was heading here." Zen told the gang who was clearly dumbfounded by the news.Then he ran to the field to practice again.

Saturday morning Zen decided to sleep in. Zuko looking at the younger guy just shook his head as he headed out.

Zuko goes inside the library with the gang.

"Where's Zen, Zuko?" Sokka ask Zuko.

"Still at his bed not wanting to move an inch" Zuko explained as he sat down.

"SleepyAce is still acing his sleep huh" Toph was leaning back at her chair while her feet was on the table.

"That's not good, We have test on monday with Mr. Lorenzo and he barely kept up with the lesson yesterday" Katara placed back the book on the shelf.

She grabbed her phone and dialed Zen but it reach the voicemail. She tried again this time he answered but only mumbled.

"Zen wake up head to the library, you need to study for the test" Katara tried to lessen the volume of her voice.

"..." silence filled the two then a few seconds Zen snored signaling he is in paradise.

Katara facepalm then put her phone inside her bag. "I'm gonna wake Zen up, Zuko what's your room number?"

"Room 302 at the 25th floor and show this to the headmaster so he can let you pass" Zuko handed the ID and key to Katara while reading the book.

Katara looked at the ID that Zuko handed her

'Zen's Alarm clock'

Katara chuckled then look at the back.

'signed by Zuko and Zen'

Okay that's cute. Katara thought to herself as she heads to the boy dormitory.

She showed the ID to the headmaster. He nodded "Well goodluck it's a tough challenge"

Tough challenge huh, we'll see about that. Katara with a fire in her eyes.

She unlocked the door.

Woah it's clean and doesn't smell bad. Oh so he's at the left side huh.

Katara examined his things.

He's organized surprisingly."Hey Zen wake up. You need to study come on."

"mmm 10 more minutes" Zen still closing his eyes still not realizing that Katara was the one who called him.

"No 10 more minutes Zen. You. Need. To. Study. NOW." Katara crossed her arms.

Zen felt chills down to his spine, sprung up at his bed. "Katara? What are you doing here??"

Katara blushed as she saw that Zen wasn't wearing any shirt. She looks away "I'm here to wake you up. You need to study. We have test on monday with Mr. Lorenzo"

Zen's face fell "Dammit Mr. Lorenzo ain't making this work for me." He goes down from his bed "Alright just give me 15 minutes"

Katara still looking away sat at the floor. "Sure.."

After taking a bath, he slipped on his black ripped pants, Sprayed deodorant. He came out of the bathroom then opened his cabinet then grabs a long sleeves white polo that is slightly oversized and wore is He wore a watch then some bracelet. He put on some earrings. He wore a brown and white Nike Stefan janoski shoes. He wore cologne.

"Come on, let's go?" Zen asked the girl who has been facing the other way for some time now.

She finally looked back "Wow you always dress up no matter what the occasion?"

"Before I was always taught to dress to impress so I got it as a habit and it kinda makes me more confident, you know?" Zen explained while locking the door.

They went inside the library and everyone was completely focused on what they are doing.

Zen sat beside Katara. Katara looked at him questionly. "Hey could you teach me this part up to this part?" He smiled

"Zen that's like the whole lesson" Katara pointed out

"Yep I didn't really get anything at Mr. Lorenzo's class. It was too early. Please" He makes a puppy eyes.

"Okay stop with that eyes, it's not cute" She giggled.

"You like it anyway" Zen just shrugged while Katara rolled her eyes because it was true that she likes it.

Monday came, Zen and Katara made a plan to head to class together.

"You ready for the test?" Katara asked looking at Zen while walking.

"Yeah, kinda but I'm more excited for the try outs later" Zen looks at the sky happily.

Katara brings out her schedule "What time does it start?"

"It starts at 1pm, Why?" Zen raised a brow in curiosity.

"Well, we want to watch you play." Katara pouted when she looked at her schedule. "I have a class that time.

"What time does your class ends anyway?" Zen placed his bag at the side of his table.

"2pm" Katara still pouting while sitting down.

"Do you have any class after that?" Zen asked as he brought out his book to study.

"Nope that's the last one for today" Katara grabbed her notebook.

"That's perfect, You can still watch it after class since the try outs schedule is 1pm-4pm" Zen was now looking at Katara.

Katara gleamed up but was cut short due to Mr. Lorenzo's entrance. "Okay, let's start the test, Shall we?"

A demon indeed Zen just thought.

Katara sat down at her chair, scribbling through her notes.

I bet the soccer team is starting now, I wish I could watch it though Zen said it could take a while and I could still watch it after class. She was focused on her thoughts until her phone rang. bzzt bzztA picture of the gang while Zen was on the background standing on the field holding up his knees to stretch.

'Boohoo Sugarqueen can't watch the try outs'Katara closed her phone feeling furious of toph's message and focused on her class that is starting now.

"I just send Katara a photo and that she couldn't watch the game" Toph snickered.

"That's mean, Toph" Aang stated while watching Zen.

"She could come later, They said this might take a while since about 33 students are trying out." Sokka mentioned it.

Zen ran towards the group "Hey, you guys are all here."

The others saw the players at their places.

"Aren't you gonna play?" Zuko asked Zen who was sitting beside him.

"At that game? nope." Zen leaned back.

"Why?" Suki looked at Zen.

"That game is for the sophomore and Freshman, all that students are trying out. The game I'll be playing will be the second game. The game of 3rd years to 5th year. I'll be playing with the regulars while our opponents will be the 3rd to5th year students trying out" Zen explained.

"Doesn't that seem unfair for the 3rd to 5th year students trying out?" Suki pointed out.

"Well no, because the goal is to shine in teamwork and as an individual. It's not really about winning but it would be great to win too. It's just like extra points. In this try outs It doesn't matter if you win at the game. There are some who won the game but wasn't accepted and there are those who lose the game but got accepted." Zen was now watching the game. "I want to play"

Zen got up from his seat and began to Jog with his teamates.

Katara's class just ended. She sprung up and quickly grabbed her things and shove it in her bag. She ran towards the exit and head to the bleachers of the field where the others are seated. Her face fell when she noticed that Zen was not in the field.

"I missed it?" Katara looked at the gang

The gang decided to tease her "Yes, You missed it sugarqueen" Toph was looking at her.

"Oh no"Katara groaned as she sat beside Suki.

"That's okay Katara, There will always be a next time." Suki joined to tease her.

Suddenly Zen saw Katara "Oh hey! you made it" He was smiling huge.

"What? Didn't your match already ended?" Katara asked Zen with wide eyes.

"Huh? No. It hasn't started yet. The first match is still on the second half." Zen chuckled.

"You serious?" Katara asked again for her to believe it.

"Yeah. Of course." Zen shook his head then sat beside Katara.

"Thank God" Much to her relief.

Zen smiled then leaned his back to Katara.

"Zen, You're full of sweat!"

"I know. I've been running since 12:30" He just rolled his eyes.

"Seriously?" Katara asked him. Zen just nodded. "Get off of me for a minute." Zen threw his hands in the air then stopped leaning back on Katara.

Katara on the other hand gave him a towel. Then she placed a hoodie at her lap then pulled Zen's head on top of the hoodie. Her could feel her face heating up and turning pink.

Zen was shocked by the girl's action. "thanks"

Katara just looked away.
