GOOOOOD MORNING, VIETNAM!

Sorry, i had to say it. Anyways, this is my first romantic modern world fanfiction. i have never written for both categories so i hope you like it and enjoy it. please review and tell me what you think.

Here we go.


Her day wasn't the most pleasant. It started off with a nightmare and it ended up with a suspension.

She threw herself at her bed without even removing her shoes, her brother was sitting on the couch watching TV and cursing his lungs with one of his stupid cigarettes, she knew he was aware of her arrival but he never bothered to ask what's wrong with her, Typical Zuzu. Then again he might have been afraid to even ask, Azula wasn't your typical everyday teenager, one misstep and you just booked yourself a trip to Hurt-Land.

She grabbed a pillow that was laying peacefully on her bed and pushed it at her face, then she screamed as loud as she could at the pillow, she was just so frustrated that she wanted to burn the whole place to the ground, She wondered when it all started to darken, her life hasn't always been this bad, when did all the good start fading from the world? When Dad and Uncle pleaded guilty to two felonies and were both sentenced to seven years in jail? Or when Mom left us for her new boyfriend afterwards? or maybe when they decided to leave their childhood home, Caldera City in The Firenation, and come to an entirely different country, in the earth kingdom city of Ba Sing Se they resided,

Azula missed her home every second of every day, and therefore hating this stupid place, but what other choice did they have? Anything to avoid public shaming, especially when your family was the most famous family in Caldera City, now it's the most infamous. Azula kept pushing the pillow to her face as if she was trying to choke herself to death, she started crying tears of agony as the images of her life getting ruined replayed constantly in her brain, tearing her apart.

She's a seventeen year old girl who lives off her brother's salary, Zuko dropped out of college and started working at a local bar in the new city to fend for the both of them, she has always admired Zuko's strength and will, as stiff and humorless as he is, Azula couldn't imagine her life without him, he didn't just stay strong for himself, he stayed strong for the both of them, for without him, she would have given up, Literally Given up. Azula sighed and rolled on the bed, sleeping on her back and staring at the ceiling, she started thinking about their life in this city, they have been here for over a year, Azula applied for the local high school in the city, Kyoshi High, and was immediately accepted. she met some new people and a select few of them could name themselves her friends:

Toph Beifong, The Strong and Stubborn rich girl who never showed any signs of being rich, Azula always admired the girl's attitude as it reminded her too much of herself, Toph was the sister Azula never thought she needed.

Katara, The Sugar Queen of every girl group, The Gorgeous yet kind and compassionate girl, who gets all the boys at school swooning whenever she passes by, kinda reminded her of Ty Lee, but shyer.

Suki, The charismatic cheerleader of the school football team, The Kyoshi Warriors, she has always been enthusiastic about football, and always talks about how unfair it is that this game is a men's only game, Azula admired this girl's call for righteousness, she only wished that call was due to something more practical than football.

Sokka, The Leader of the men's football team, The Jock of every girl's dream, Sokka was truly a ladies' man with his perfect ponytail and his ripped physique but what Azula considers Sokka's strongest suit is his perfect sense of humor, Even though he doesn't look like it, but Sokka is actually hilarious and Azula caught herself chuckling at one or two of his jokes, which rarely happens. He was the absolute opposite of Suki though, Suki was a feminist, and Sokka was a Maleist. if that's even a word. that's all you need to know about him.

Which brings us to the final member of the team.. The one Azula considers very special to her, Aang.

Before she met Aang, Azula never believed she would ever meet a boy who would be both Elegant and Kind at the same time, Aang was a top of the class student, Nails every test, He also participates in and wins School races as he is one of the fastest runners she's ever seen, and when it comes to good looks, he's the most wanted boy in school, girls swoon whenever he passes by and boys question their sexualities around him. (A/N: I'm too lazy to describe The Aang of my story, so i want you to imagine Timothee Chalamet)

But he never lets all his many merits get to his head as he's very humble and willing to help anyone in need, He was the first student of the school to talk to her as he was the one that took her on tour around the school, Azula remembered being very happy that they chose a handsome student to do the tour, it gave her a good first impression of the school.

Oh did i also mention that he's incredibly funny? If Sokka made me chuckle twice, Aang made me actually laugh out loud once. I don't know how to describe it, but he's so awesome. She thought amusedly.

The thought of Aang actually eased Azula's pain a little as she wasn't supposed to be happy today, she just got suspended from school over some stupid mistake that she vowed never to fall for, one of the stupid school divas, a girl named Meng, called her out for her family's mistakes at the canteen where she and her friends were having school lunch, Aang's words of comfort calmed her down a bit but the girl pushed her buttons when she also mentioned Azula's estranged mother.

Azula got off her seat and punched the girl in her face making her nose bleed, the girl cried and ran to the principle's office, feigning innocence and demanding punishment for Azula or she would tell her father, who works for the local newspaper, about the incident, Of course Principle Long Feng couldn't sacrifice the school's reputation and so he made Azula pay for Meng's treatment and suspended her for two weeks. Toph gave Azula the treatment money as she knew Zuko's salary barely covers their needs.

For Azula, it's her hot temper, that's always been her biggest problem, it almost scared Aang away on her first day too, Azula smiled as she remembered the first day when Aang stepped on her brand new white shoes, she gave him the stare that she was aware how terrifying it is, that stare used to make her old friends Mai and Ty Lee wet their panties, (I meant out of fear, you perv.)

Anyways, As soon as Aang saw her intense stare, he gulped nervously and apologized for what he did, Azula couldn't remember the last time she accepted someone's apology but with Aang, she instantly did. She heard her phone buzzing, Azula grabbed it outta her pocket and it's Toph calling her, she remembered that Toph wasn't present at school today and she's obviously going to ask her about what happened, Azula picked up:

"Hello."

"Princess! I HEARD WHAT HAPPENED AT SCHOOL ARE YOU OKAY?!" Here we go. Azula thought as she continued listening to Toph. "SO YOU ASK ME TO LEND YOU MONEY, AND YOU DON'T EVEN TELL ME WHAT'S HAPPENED?! I should have been there for you, that girl Meng needed some teeth kicking, i've always hated her, but now i hate her even more and i want to choke THE LIFE OUTTA THAT BITCH!"

"Toph.."

"NO! Don't Toph Me! She needs to be taught a lesson and i'm gonna give it to her!"

"Toph, Calm Down. I ALREADY PUNCHED HER IN THE FACE!" Azula yelled so that Toph would stop yelling, and sure she did stop yelling but she started laughing instead.

"Yeah, I know! Way to Go, Girl! I wish i were there to see it."

"Toph, you barely even see."

"Shut Up! I wear lenses now."

"Yeah, i forgot."

"What did Hothead do when he found out?"

Azula knew she was talking about her brother, "I didn't tell him."

"Why not?"

"I dunno.. he didn't ask. He's gonna find out sooner or later, he's friends with Sokka and Aang after all."

"Oh, i can imagine him sitting at the TV as they tell him the news while he's smoking his cigarettes and not giving a shit about anything at all."

Azula moved the phone from one ear to the other, "Yeah, i guess he has a talent for that."

"Hey i was joking. don't be so hard on him, he's trying his best." Toph said all of a sudden.

Azula quirked her eyebrows and checked her phone for a second, "Uhm.. Hello.. I thought i was speaking to Toph."

"Oh Shut Up."

Azula thought of something, "Hey, before you develop any feelings for my brother, he works at a bar, and with those rugged good looks, he probably knocks up two or three girls a night."

"Really? Never took him for a playboy. Not that i care or anything.." Toph said, sounding down.

Azula only snorted, "Oh My God, I was joking, My Brother knows nothing about girls! But you do have the hots for him! This is so weird."

"Pffft. Nothing of the sort, Princess. You know i don't need any man in my life, I am my own Woman."

Azula snorted again, "Yeah, I bet."

"... So.."

"What?"

"Can you.."

"Toph, just say what you wanna say."

She heard Toph take a deep breath, "CAN YOU HOOK ME UP WITH YOUR BROTHER!" She said in a rush.

"What? No!" Azula said.

"Why not?!"

"Toph, I am gonna hang up." She said firmly.

"Okay, Okay. I was just messing with ya. Jeez."

"No, You weren't. And please, take my brother off your head, i don't wanna be mad at you." Azula said seriously.

Toph huffed, "Fine!"

"..."

"..."

"What?" Azula asked.

"I didn't say anything!"

"You want to say something. Just say it!"

"Alright.. Can you at least invite him to my party on Friday?"

Azula sighed, "Toph, i thought you said it's gonna be a girls only party."

"Well. Sokka found out about it and he told Aang and Haru and the rest of the boys, they pushed Aang towards me and he asked me nicely, and you know i can't say No to Aang.. So i accepted."

Azula's eyes immediately lit up and she stood on her bed, "Aang is coming?" She asked.

"Yeah, Duh. i just said so."

Azula thought about it for a while, "... Alright." She said quietly, but somehow Toph heard it.

"ALRIGHT! I CAN'T WAIT! It's gonna be the longest three days of my life."

"Yeah, mine too.."

"What?"

"Nothing. You are coming to school tomorrow, right?"

"Yeah. You know i can't miss Mr Bumi's class."

"Good. See you tomorrow then."

"Uhm.. i thought you got suspended."

Azula slapped her forehead, "Yeah. i forgot about that.. I'll see you after school then. at our regular meeting place."

"Ok, Girl. Bye"

"Bye." Azula hung up and looked at the time, it was still 5 PM, Zuko is yet to go to the bar so she thought she would talk to him now, she stood up and opened the door, he was still sitting on the sofa watching TV and smoking a cigarette, she went over to him.

"Hey, Zuzu." Azula said, He took a drag on his cigarette then looked at her without saying a word. "I wanted to ask you something." Azula humbled herself to make her more appealing to him, at this point she would do anything for Toph would practically set up a date between her and Aang.

"Ask away." Zuko said as he turned his head back to the TV and took another drag.

"Toph is throwing a party on Friday and she wants you to be there. would you like to come?"

Zuko turned his attention back to her and quirked his eyebrow, "I thought it was a girls only party."

"Yeah, it used to be. But Aang and the boys asked Toph to stop being sexist and so she made it an all-gender party." Azula joked, but Zuko didn't even crack a smile.

"I dunno, Azula. i have work."

"It's on Friday, Zuko. it's your day off.. I meant night off." She corrected herself as Zuko took the night shift at the bar.

"I go out with the boys on Friday." Zuko argued.

Azula huffed, "The boys you hang out with are going to this party on Friday, Dum-Dum." Zuko took the last drag of the cigarette and put it out in the ashtray.

"I guess you have a point."

"So you're coming?"

"Yeah, Cool."

She smiled genuinely and put a hand on his shoulder, "Thanks, Zuko." She said and ran back to her room, but before she made it, she was stopped by him.

"Hey, By The Way. Aang and Sokka told me what happened at school and.. i just want you to know i am not mad at you. but for your own sake, don't listen to these jerks teasing you again. it's not gonna be good for you health." Azula looked at him and saw genuine concern on his face, even though he couldn't express it right, typical awkward Zuzu.

"Alright. Thanks, Zuko." She said and he returned his attention to the TV but not before shooting her a faint smile that made her perplexed, he doesn't smile that often, what changed? Anyways, it's time for a shower.

Azula thought about Zuko's earlier hesitation but she wasn't surprised by it as this was the first real party they attend since their world collapsed. it brings bad memories to them because it was also at a party that their father and uncle got arrested.

But with Aang there, Azula could only hope that this one would turn out much better.
