x KODOCHII - KODOCHII – KODOCHII x

A tanned, azure eyed teen sat in an empty corner of a crowded class room, reading, not bothering to start a conversation with anyone. Everyone else was talking, throwing balled up papers at each other, or running around like crazed monkeys. The teacher was fast asleep in front of her desk, not caring about the disorderliness and loudness of the room. The blue eyed teen, Katara, brushed stray mocha colored curls out of her face and sighed; she continued to read her newspaper.

2 days ago…

Katara thought her parents were totally kidding when they said she got free admission to Ba Sing Se high for the rest of her three years in high school. Ba Sing Se high, the richest school in the Earth Kingdom, probably in the world.

"Katara, aren't you excited for your first day in Earth Kingdom high school?" Her mother, Kya exclaimed, embracing her in a hug.

"Sure, I guess." Katara replied, in a dull manner, as her mother finally let go of her.

"You should be excited, sis! This is your first time going to a real school in SIX years." Her older brother, Sokka yelled, "Our family finally moved to Ba Sing Se to start a new life; you should be ecstatic! You're going to a first class school. Our family will be honored around here, cause of you going to Ba Sing Se high-"

"Yeah…but what I'm worried about is..." Katara sighed, "…That I won't fit in with the other students."

"That's some B.S, of course you'll fit in." Sokka replied, crossing his arms, "All you gotta do is try not to get noticed, just blend in."

Katara sat down on a nearby chair, placing her elbows on her lap and her hands on the tip her chin.

"Agh," She groaned, "I can't wait till high school is over; all of it is just stupid boys, irritating girls, and way too much drama."

"How do you know that; you haven't been to a real school, since, like, forever?" Sokka argued, "It'll be fine."

Katara's dad, Hakoda ran into the room holding a plaid skirt and a thick, green sweater with a long sleeved white blouse.

"Katara, The rest of your school uniform has been delivered to you!" Hakoda yelled.

Katara took her uniform and scrutinized it, looking at the expensive green fabric used in the sweater. The right side of the uniform had a golden, carved symbol of a white lotus coin.

"Is that real gold?" Sokka said, yanking the uniform from Katara's hands.

Sokka felt the lotus coin symbol, eyeing it with interest.

"…I think so." Katara said, scratching the back of her tangled hair.

"That is so cool!" Sokka exclaimed.

"Katara, try the uniform on! I'll get the stockings and the shoes." Kya said, running upstairs.

Katara sighed then smiled a bit. Even though her family was making a huge deal out of this, she was glad to see her family joyful, in a long time.

Since her family was on the poor side, barely able to afford things, her family moving to Ba Sing Se of the Earth kingdom and Katara going to its high school raised their hopes of living a good life.

Kya came back downstairs, holding shiny leather shoes and long white panty hose which was the remainder of the uniform.

"Okay, put it on!" Katara's mother beamed.

Katara went upstairs to change.

"I hope Katara gets used to living here at Ba Sing Se." Hakoda said, "Moving from the South pole a week ago went by pretty quick."

"Don't worry, I'm sure she'll love it here once we've settled down enough." Kya replied, "I mean, you've got a new job at the dry cleaners, Sokka is applying to Ba Sing Se's University…and our Katara is going to the BEST school in the world and has a job at the Jasmine Dragon, I mean, we'll be honored throughout these streets cause of her."

Katara came back downstairs, wearing her uniform. Instead of her usual, old and worn out clothing, she wore the thick, green sweater which was on top of her white blouse. Under that, her green skirt was plaid with gold which decorated her white stockings that went all the way down to her feet. She wore shiny, black leather boots that went up to her ankles.

"You look so upper class!" Kya exclaimed, while primping and straightening Katara's new uniform, "I can't believe this uniform came for free along with your admission."

"I look like a spoilt school girl." Katara laughed.

"It'll give you a better impression at school, people will think you come from a super high class family instead of a poor class family like us and they'll appreciate you." Kya said.

"I don't think It'll matter that much." Katara replied, "Didn't people use to say, 'Appreciate people for who they really are.'?"

"Of course they do, Katara." Hakoda said, "I'm sure a lot of people will befriend you on your first day-"

"-WHICH IS IN TWO DAYS!" Sokka screamed, pumping his fist into the air, "Katara, you're smart, which is the reason you got your free admission; people would love a smart person like you to go to Ba Sing Se high!"

Katara laughed at his brother's hyper attitude.

"Of course, not only do you have brains, you're beautiful and people will appreciate that." Kya said.

Katara's mom put her hands on her shoulders and led her to a mirror.

"See?" Kya said.

Katara saw her reflection on the mirror. Her new uniform made her short stature look taller; she looked "high society" and more professional. Katara's thick, brown hair was tangled and curled, that it covered part of her tanned face.

"Ah, Katara, give me the uniform, I'm going to take it to the dry cleaners to give it an extra oomph!" Hakoda exclaimed, "It'll be so clean, that it'll be impossible to mess up, not even a single stain can ruin it!"

1 day later…

7:30 A.M

Katara sighed and brushed her tangled mess of hair off her face and opened the door to the Jasmine Dragon, where she worked. The door jingled as it opened.

A black bun rose behind from the counter of the store.

"Hey, Toph." Katara smirked.

"Hello sweetness." Toph greeted, as she fully stood up, stacking a box of tea leaves on the side of the counter.

The girl, Toph, became friends with Katara at work a week ago when she moved to Ba Sing Se. Toph, who was Katara's age, had jet, black hair that was tied into a large bun. Bundles of stray hair flew in front of her face. Toph didn't act like it, but she was blind making people often underestimate her, but she never let that bother her.

"So are you ready for your first day of Ba Sing Se high?" Toph asked, grinning at Katara.

"Yes…and no." Katara said, anxiously, "Going to an actual school in six years seems frightening, especially if it's an upper class school considering my parents aren't the richest type of people…"

Toph punched Katara on the arm with her elbow.

"Ow!" Katara yelped, rubbing her upper arm, "What was that for?"

"You should be happy!" Toph yelled, "I mean, you've been accepted to BA SING SE HIGH, FOR FREE! I've always wanted to go to that school, but I don't have the money or the brains at all!"

Katara continued to rub her sore arm; Toph really did have a hard punch.

"Okay, fine!" Katara whined, "I'll try to make the best of it!"

Even though Katara and Toph have only known each other for a week, they would both act like as if they were the best of friends. Katara's sweet, pleasant attitude obviously mixed in with Toph's stubborn and loud-mouthed attitude.

"Girls, are you going to make me some tea or not?" A guy complained.

"Yeah! I need a little help here!" A guy shouted from the back of the store, he was struggling to carry the stacks of the tea.

"Carry your own weight, Twinkle Toes." Toph shouted back, "You're a man; act like one!"

The guy came back to the front, revealing himself. The stacks of the boxes he was carrying completely covered his face, making him wobble around clumsily.

"I don't need your patronizing attitu-AGGHH!"

The guy fell over, making all the boxes of tea fall on top of him.

"Monkey feathers! Aang are you okay?" Katara gasped, while running towards the guy.

Toph laughed at his failure to carry the boxes.

"Ow…Yeah" Aang said, rubbing his short, brown hair.

Katara pulled him back up and helped pick up the boxes.

Aang, who was also the same age as Toph, was good friends her since the both of their guardians knew each other.

"So are you ready for another day of work guys?" Toph questioned while cracking her knuckles.

"Sure, we get paid by the end of the week anyways." Aang replied, opening one of the tea boxes.

Katara gave a pair of head bands and white aprons to the two of her friends.

"Let's get to work." Katara grinned, as she put on her own white apron and head band, "I'm ready to make some money."

x KODOCHII - KODOCHII – KODOCHII x

"So, Katara, are you ready for your first day of being a high school sophomore?" Hakoda said as they faced an enormous building, Ba Sing Se high.

Katara nodded, giving her dad a proud smile.

"I'm so proud of you! Your first day!" Kya bellowed, hugging her daughter tightly, causing people to stare at her awkwardly.

"Yeah, Mom, wish me luck." Katara said, escaping from her mom's tight hug.

"GOOD LUCK, KATARA!" Hakoda and Kya yelled.

More people gave them hostile stares, causing Katara to palm her face in embarrassment.

"Bye Mom, bye Dad." Katara said, waving to her parents.

Katara inhaled and continued to walk towards the school entrance, checking her clothes for any flaws and her hair for any messiness. When Katara opened the front doors of her new high school, she couldn't believe what she saw.

Katara's mouth widened in an o shape.

She knew this school was going to all first class and rich, but she didn't expect there to be a balcony in the main hallway with two stairs leading up to the second floor.

"Wow…" Katara whispered to herself.

Crowds of students were walking around the halls, each of them wearing the same uniforms. Katara looked at the types of handbags, bracelets, hairstyles, necklaces, and make-up the students wore.

Katara's eyes widened when she saw a girl put down a handbag that was adorned in diamond jewels while opening her locker.

That must have been worth a fortune!

She saw a guy glance over his watch which was decorated in pure gold.

Katara looked at herself, no fancy bags, bracelets, necklaces, or make-up and her hair was very plain, just brown locks of mocha curls without any embellishment. She sighed, feeling intimidated by these students.

Just be myself, nobody will notice me, especially if everyone is wearing the same outfit.

Katara pulled out a map of the school and her schedule and headed to her first class at Ba Sing Se high.

x KODOCHII - KODOCHII – KODOCHII x

When Katara arrived at her first class she was surprised to see that everyone was out of control and talking way too loud.

"Has school changed in the last 6 years…?" Katara whispered to herself.

Katara saw a lady, sitting in a large desk, obviously fallen asleep.

Why isn't the teacher doing anything about this noise?

Katara eyed some of her classmates, each of them showing off their valuable accessories. Then some others who were throwing paper balls, some at the sleeping teacher.

Maybe school hasn't officially started yet…

Katara sighed and sat at an empty desk at the corner of the class room, trying to ignore the students' upheaval.

Katara raked her fingers through her hair as she took a newspaper from a nearby book shelf, beginning to read.

Something to do before I wait for school to start.

Katara analyzed the newspaper and saw a familiar article, "The Fire Nation's 50 Years in Ba Sing Se."

Fire Lord Azulon invaded the walls of Ba Sing Se, finally taking over the monstrous city. Since then his successor, Fire Lord Ozai, has been over control of all the priorities and businesses of Ba Sing Se. Since then, many people have actually admired Ozai's work of Ba Sing Se, putting it in orderly conduct.

Orderly conduct…? More like control freak-

"Hey, you."

Katara raised her head, no longer facing the newspaper. A few strands of her mocha hair fell over her face.

Katara saw three girls, facing her, embellished in all types of richy richness. Bags, Jewels, anything...

The one who spoke had jet black hair that was tied into a bun with two large, perfect strands of hair on the sides of her face. She carried a red purse with a golden insignia on opening of it. The second girl had a dull look to her face; her hair was also jet black, but looked longer. The third girl had huge, wide eyes with an innocent look on her face; she wore bracelets, necklaces, and a bag of pink. In fact, a large, pink bow decorated her long brown braid of hair.

"Um, Hi?" Katara tensed.

"You're new here right?" The girl with the red purse assumed.

"Yeah."

"Not from around here, I suppose?" She smirked.

"I-I'm from the southern water tribe." Katara stuttered, moving her strands of hair out of her face.

The girl looked so intimidating and threatening.

"What? How did you end up here?" The girl laughed, recognizing the meager social status of the southern water tribe, "Last time I heard, they don't let poor peasants like you attend schools like this."

Katara raised her eyebrow and gave her an angry frown.

"Uhh…I guess I was lucky then." Katara said, trying not to make a bad impression.

"This is Ba Sing Se high, school of the richest people in society." The girl scoffed, "The last thing we need is dirty people like you messing up our clean hallways."

What was this girl's problem!

"I-" Katara began, only to get interrupted.

"Before you get our names mistaken, peasant," The girl smiled, "we are better known as Ozai's angels, aka the female egos of the L4."

Ozai's angels? What kind of place is this?

"What's the L4?" Katara questioned, putting her newspaper down.

"Clueless, aren't we?" The girl smirked, "They're the true leaders of this school."

"Whoever they are, they need to learn how to control this school, cause they're obviously not doing a great job." Katara argued.

"Don't you talk bad about them!" The girl bellowed, making Katara jump, "You should know your place, peasant."

"I have a name." Katara hissed under her breath.

"I don't care, peasent, we have names too, and they're much more of importance." The girl said, "I'm Azula, leader of Ozai's Angels."

Here we go…

"This is Mai." Azula said, pointing to the gloomy looking girl, who gave Katara a cold glare, "And that is Ty Lee."

Azula pointed to the girl with the long braid.

"I bet we'll be best of friends, right?" Ty Lee mocked, giving Katara the fakest of all grins.

Katara picked up her newspaper and continued to read, not wanting to deal with this crap.

Azula leaned towards Katara's desk catching the mocha haired girl's attention.

"Don't do anything you'll regret, or we'll make your life here a living hell, okay?" Azula said, tossing Katara her trademark smirk.

Azula left along with Mai and Ty Lee following her each of them having a lady-like walk to them.

Those girls were like clones! Maybe not clones, in the way they dress, but their personalities. EVIL AND BITCHY.

"!"

Katara dropped the newspaper she was reading; everyone else in the classroom instantaneously all jumped out of their desks and ran outside to the hallway to see what the uproar was all about.

Katara followed her classmates after eyeing the teacher, who was still asleep.

Some school this is…

"It's coming from the end of this hall!" Someone shouted.

Everyone stopped when they saw a circle of a crowd. In the middle of the crowd, there was a person crouched in fetal position. The crowd of people grew bigger and bigger.

The person in the middle of the crowd was being beaten up by some of the students themselves and the worst part was, nobody was doing anything at all to stop it. Even the crowds of people were laughing at the person who was being harmed. Katara couldn't intervene because she was afraid that she would also be beaten up herself. She felt like it was the cowardly thing to do, but she couldn't let anything like that happen to her on the first day.

Some people would kick the person, beat him up with wooden bats, and even throw raw eggs and rotten seaweed at him.

What did the person do to get such bad treatment?

"Eat this you piece of crap!" Someone yelled, while throwing a raw tomato at the person.

"Please, stop!" The person cried, "I'm sorry!"

"Nobody is ever sorry when they talk bad about the L4!" Another person shouted.

"Hit him harder, he needs to taste payback!" Katara heard Azula shout beside her.

Katara winced every time the person would get kicked or get hit with eggs.

"Why are people in this school such jerks?" Katara heard a person say.

A shorter girl with a thick auburn colored braid spoke to her.

"Same question I want to ask, but I'm afraid something bad will happen to me if I voice my opinion." Katara sighed.

"So you're new, right?" The girl asked.

"Yes…" Katara replied, "Why is this school so messed up?"

"L4…They make a mess out of everything, it's like they have total control over the school." The girl sighed.

"Why doesn't anyone here make an effort to do anything about this?" Katara asked, "This school has teachers, doesn't it? Why don't they do anything?"

"Because Fire Lord Ozai's son and the L4 have control over this school, he literally pays the teachers not to do anything, so he can have total control over this school and do things his way because of his large possession of money his father gives him." The girl replied, "And it makes sense because Ozai has control over Ba Sing Se now."

Ozai's son must be such a selfish, spoilt man.

"AGHH! Somebody please, help!" The beaten up guy yelled, his voice stifled by tears.

Katara couldn't take it anymore; she had to do something.

"IT'S THE L4!" A girl screamed, interrupting Katara's action.

"L4!11!11!" Another person screamed, "EVERYONE MAKE SPACE FOR THEM!"

"AIEEEE!"

Four guys came from the balcony using the stairs that led to the hallway.

They look awfully young…like teenagers.

"Those aren't men, those are guys…in their teens." Katara gasped.

"Okay, let me tell you about the L4, they're ruthless, hotheaded guys." The girl with the auburn braid said, "Okay that one at the end…"

The girl pointed one of the L4 guys who had overly long brown hair, his skin was slightly tanned, but not as tanned as Katara's. He had a green head band around his forehead with two thick strands of hair in front of his ears. To Katara's surprise…or rather not surprised, he wasn't wearing a school uniform.

Those guys think that they're so cool; they don't need to wear uniforms…

"…His name is Haru, he is the least important L4. His parents come from the earth kingdom and own many exclusive clubs that are made for V.I.P guests only which is why Haru's family makes so much money."

Then the auburn haired girl pointed to the guy that was next to Haru, "That one is Teo."

He had messy jet black hair with a thin yellow headband around it to keep it secure. He had much lighter skin then Haru.

"Teo, who lives with his father, is a professional inventor who owns all types self-made machinery and sells them to the fire nation to make big bucks out of them."

"HIS father was the one to invent the hot air balloon?" Katara gasped.

"Yeah, pretty weird if you ask me." The girl replied, "That one who's next to Teo is Jet."

The guy she mentioned had spiky brown hair with the strangest eyebrows which had an unusual arch. He held a long weed at the tip of his mouth which made him look more like a common person than a first class.

"Not much is known about Jet's parents but I heard that he inherited their salary which makes him pretty rich too."

Katara nodded her head and eyed Jet for a while, scrutinizing every inch of his face.

"And then this is when we take mean to a whole new level…the most important L4, Prince Zuko…"

Katara saw the guy who was next to Jet. He had long, shaggy, black hair partially covering his eyes. Around his left eye was an abnormally big scar, but it was sort of hidden with his long hair. He seemed the most intimidating out the rest.

"So what about Ozai's son who takes control of this school, where is he?" Katara asked.

"Zuko is Ozai's son, he's the one that is in control of this school." The girl replied.

"He's Ozai's son…?" Katara said, in a stunned manner, "But he's too young to-"

"I know, but he has money and money goes a long way in Ba Sing Se." The girl sighed, "Ozai is in control of all of Ba Sing Se, so his son can control the entire school, bribing the faculty and giving them loads of money and he gives out L4 slips to students who "misbehave" and insult him. L4 slips means constantly getting bullied and tortured by the students."

(LOL MONEY GOES A LONG WAY IN BA SING SE, I rhymeeeed! :D; Kay back to the story.)

"That's pathetic." Katara whispered.

"It's glad to see someone with sense in this school." The girl said giving Katara a half smile.

"Same here." Katara said.

Katara looked at the beaten up guy who was drenched in egg slime and tomato juice. The guy looked at Zuko, tears streaming down his face.

Zuko motioned for the L4 to stop walking; Zuko walked towards the guy who was lying on his side with his arms shielding his head. The noisy crowd immediately became quiet, everyone stared at Zuko, curious about what he was going to do to the poor student.

"Get up." Zuko said blankly.

The guy breathed heavily, and stood up making eye contact with the scared teen. He felt anxious and frightened at Zuko's heavy glare.

"Nobody wants a wretched low-life like you at my school." Zuko said, "Why don't you do something useful with your pathetic life so you can learn how to respect your superiors."

"I-I'm very sorry." The guy stuttered.

Zuko gave the guy a smirk and motioned for Haru to hand him a large bottle of a yellow liquid.

Zuko opened the bottle; Katara couldn't believe what he just did. He poured the yellow liquid over the guy's head, soaking him.

"Have you learned your lesson?" Zuko said.

"I-It smells rancid, what is this?" The guy cried.

"Piss." Zuko replied, "It's time you get what was coming to you."

The guy gave Zuko a startled stare and sank down to his knees, held back by the four letter word Zuko just said.

Zuko gave the guy a threatening smile.

As the L4 left, the crowd of people burst into cheers and started to clap. Katara clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

How can a person be so damn hostile! Zuko is such a bastard! I hate him!

1:30 Noon/ Lunch Break

Ba Sing Se high's lunchroom was also impressive. Each of the tables were made out polished silver with comfy looking chairs that had green cushions on them. On the side of the lunchroom, there were different types of food with platters that looked very appetizing; it was nothing like she had before back at the southern water tribe. Katara's stomach grumbled while looking at the restaurant quality food. She saw people get glass plates to take some food from the platter. People in white, elaborate chef suits brought more of the food onto the table, bowing to the students as they left.

Too expensive, for me anyway…

Katara walked away from the ample amounts of excessive quality food and sat alone in a table that was far away from everyone else and took out a small box of lunch. She opened the box and saw a creamy light brown sauce with chunks of black, stewed sea prunes. She pulled out a wooden spoon that was attached to the box and began to eat the thick stew.

"Ew, what's that stench?" Katara heard someone say.

Katara raised her head, eyes widening.

Azula and her cronies, Ozai's Angels.

Azula eyed Katara's stew, looking at the repulsive dish. Azula stuck her tongue in disgust.

"Ugh, a typical water tribe dish, sea prunes." Mai said, holding her nose, "How disgusting."

Azula's frown changed into a grin.

"We can't have such a foul odor ruining our cafeteria, now can we?" Azula said.

"Of course not!" Ty Lee agreed.

Ty Lee took out a small bottle of perfume from her uniform pocket and began to spray it around Katara's food.

Katara immediately covered her food, protecting it from being contaminated by the perfume itself.

Ty Lee gave Katara a smug grin, "Much better."

Azula gave Mai and Ty Lee low fives as they walked away from Katara's table.

"Can I try some of that?"

Katara saw the same girl who told her all about the L4.

"Uh…sure." Katara said, making eye contact.

The girl had a nice smile to her face, with her long auburn colored braid complementing her features.

She was really pretty.

The girl took out a separate spoon from her pocket and took a spoon full of Katara's sea prunes.

"Hey, this is really good!" The girl said, "What is it?"

"Stewed sea prunes." Katara said in a bored manner.

"This is so much better than the food here." The girl smiled, "It has a nice exotic taste to it."

Katara continued to eat the rest of the stew.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself." The girl laughed, "I'm Song."

"Hi, Song, you probably wouldn't care but my name's Katara." Katara stated.

"That's a pretty name, are you from the water tribe?" Song asked.

Katara realized that this Song girl had a very different attitude from the rest of the spoiled students that go here.

"Yeah, the southern water tribe…it's why people here hate me so much." Katara sighed, "Cause I come from a poorer place."

"People in this school are nutcases, so don't worry." Song replied, "Everyone from this school comes from a decently rich family, so they're all so uppity about it; the only reason I came here was because my parents think if I go to Ba Sing Se high, my family would be honored more since it is Ozai's school, plus my parents are paying lots for me to go here, so I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place…I guess."

The two of them didn't speak for a while until Katara spoke up.

"I'm not going here anymore." Katara said, "I don't care if it's my only first day, but this school is screwed up. It's run by rebellious losers who think they're all that. I mean, I got accepted here cause I had smarts; this school doesn't even have proper teaching!"

"Shh, not so loud, people will hear you." Song joked, "And please don't leave, you're the only one here that I can relate to."

"How?" Katara questioned, "You look like you come from a pretty rich family…"

"I mean that you're different from the other students, nobody here will talk to me cause I have different taste in this school and Ozai's angels always find some way to make my life here like hell." Song sighed, moving a stray hair behind her ear.

Katara looked at Song, then looked back at her lap.

My parents were so proud when I got into this school, so I just can't quit because of some imprudent bastards.

"Then, I guess we both have to stick together." Katara smiled, "Try to stay unnoticed, so trouble won't stir up for us."

"Of course." Song smiled back, "Thank you, Katara."

Katara nodded her head in appreciation.

"So you mind bringing in some more stewed sea prunes?" Song laughed.

"Sure, my mom has TONS from back home." Katara replied.

"IT'S THE L4!" Someone yelled.

The crowds of people ran towards the flight of stairs, to get a better look at them while Katara and Song remained at their seats.

Oh god no…

Katara saw the four impressively good looking but conceited, arrogant bastards walk down the flight of stairs that led down to the lunchroom.

"MAKE WAY FOR THEM!" Someone shouted, as students cleared out a path for the boys to walk through.

The four boys came to a stop then they walked towards the table of expensive food. Katara stared at the scared one, Zuko, also known as the leader of the L4, just looking at his face made her blood boil in anger.

As Zuko and the other L4 picked up the food, back facing Katara, the mocha haired teen glared at him trying to burn a hole through his back. (Figuratively, of course :D, NO BENDING IN THIS STORY)

Zuko took a small bite out of the Kimono chicken and spit it out into a nearby trashcan.

"This tastes like crap." Zuko said, throwing the platter of Kimono chicken onto the ground, which made the ceramic glass of the platter shatter into pieces.

How can he be so insensitive!

When Katara was about to stand up to do something, she sat back down.

I have to stay unnoticed, I can't let this jerk ruin my year for me.

"You guys wanna eat somewhere else?" Haru asked, talking to his L4 mates.

Zuko nodded and led the L4 to walk towards the balcony which was also towards Katara's table she was sitting in.

Then it all happened in an instant, Zuko fell face wards onto the ground. Katara and Song realized that there was a stray chair that was next to their table. The lunchroom quieted down; only a few murmurs were heard.

Katara couldn't help but to let out a quiet giggle. Song put her hand over her mouth, surprised at what she accidently did.

"Hey! Your stupid chair tripped me!" Zuko yelled to Song.

"I'm sorry." Song said quietly, bowing to Zuko.

"You freak, apologizing isn't going to be enough." Azula said while walking towards Song, the rest of Ozai's angels followed after her.

"Zuko, let me give you a hand." Mai smiled, extending an arm towards Zuko.

Flirt.

"I can get up myself." Zuko said, then he felt his nose, it was bleeding.

The scared teen gave Song a bone chilling glare.

Song's eyes widened even more when she saw blood dripping down his right nostril, "Zuko! Please forgive me, It was an accident! I'll do anything to help!"

Zuko touched his nose again and saw his bloodstained fingers, "You call this an accident?"

"I didn't mean to." Song said, afraid of what Zuko was going to do next.

Zuko gritted his teeth in anger, "Well then, why don't I give you a nose to match mines."

When he was about to give Song a bloodsucking punch to her nose Katara stood up from her table.

"Stop!" Katara said in a barely audible voice.

Zuko realized where the noise was coming from and saw a girl with chocolate curls, partially hiding her face. Her wide, azure eyes showed her innocence.

"Please stop." Katara said again, in a louder voice.

Zuko gave Katara a smug grin.

"I know exactly who you are, water tribe trash." Zuko said, "If you're going to attend my school, I suggest you learn your place."

Katara gave Zuko a straight stare, not bothering to say anything.

"Come on, Zuko, let's go, this isn't worth it." Katara heard Jet say.

Why is he stopping this?

Zuko shot Katara a glare before the L4 left.

"Hey, peasant, learn to show some respect." Azula scowled, "Before something terrible happens to you and that little friend of yours."

Song gave Azula an upset look and sank down to her knees as Azula and her friends left. Tears dripped down Song's pale cheeks as Katara comforted her.

"I shouldn't be crying like this…" Song said quietly, "But I can't stand his provoking behavior, he's so terrifying, If anyone does something wrong to offend him, he makes sure the school goes after that person by harassing them, torturing them, doing anything bad to them for revenge. And those people who earn the L4 slips…usually leave this school because the bullying and taunting for them goes too far…I'm so sorry."

"For what?" Katara replied, "If anyone should be sorry, it should be Zuko. So don't take it out on yourself."

"Katara, when did you get to be such a strong person?" Song asked, wiping off her tears.

"It's because I'm a strong weed." Katara said pulling Song back up, "If anyone in this school tries to mess with me, they'll regret it. I don't care what the L4 does to me; I'm not scared of those conceited hotheads."

"So, sweetness how was your first day of school?" Toph asked, grinning.

"Terrible, Terrible, Terrible!" Katara sighed, plopping a tea bag into a hot cup of water, "You won't believe what happened at my first day."

Toph sat across from Katara.

"So what happened? Give me all the juicy details." Toph said crossing her arms on the dining table she was sitting in.

The door jingled and Katara saw Aang come inside.

"Hello Twinkle-toes, Sweetness is about to tell us her story about school." Toph said.

Because Toph was blind she could recognize the distinct sounds of peoples' footsteps, so she could tell who the person was.

Aang sat next to Katara, across from Toph.

"So what happened?" Aang began, "Was Ba Sing Se high huge? Did you make new friends? Did you learn anything new? How many floors to the school are they? Oooh! Oooh! Does your school have room serv-"

"Can it, Twinkles!" Toph yelled, "Let Katara tell her story."

"Sorry!" Aang whispered with an innocent grin on his face.

"Okay so when I went to my first class…" Katara started.

Katara told them all about the L4 and a person getting beaten up for talking against the L4. She also told them about her new friend accidently tripping the lead L4 with her chair.

"...I mean, they're all just so spoiled! Their parents obviously must not care at all what they do at school and how they treat others. They apparently weren't taught common manners when they were little kids! Immature freaks!" Katara exclaimed, fists clenched.

"Woah, sweetness, I've never seen you so pumped up about something before." Toph said, "So, want me to help you kick some ass tomorrow?"

"No, I don't want to drag you into this and besides I don't want to stoop to their level." Katara said as she drank her tea.

"Yeah, but those guys need to be taught a lesson." Aang disagreed.

The door jingled again; five elderly men came into the shop.

"Gyatso!" Aang yelled, running up to one of the men, who was dressed in an orange cloak.

"Hello Aang." Gyatso greeted.

The five elders, Gyatso, Jeong Jeong, Piandao, Pakku, and Bumi would always visit the Jasmine dragon almost every day, keeping the three teenagers company. These weren't just any ordinary men, they were members of a secret (not really) society called The Order of The White Lotus. Each of the men had something unique and different about them. Gyatso was Aang's legal guardian who was a trained monk. Jeong Jeong was an ex fire nation general who fled the fire nation army, giving him the nickname, the Desserter. Piandao was trained martial artist who also came from the fire nation. The one Katara could relate to the most was Pakku; he came from the northern water tribe and moved to Ba Sing Se so he could settle down. Bumi, who used to be King of Omashu, got his land taken away from the fire nation, so he came to Ba Sing Se to also reside. Katara could have sworn that Bumi was on cactus juice or some sort of funky drug. There were originally six members of the white lotus, but the sixth member unknowingly left.

The five sat around a table that was next to Katara's.

"So, what would you guys like today?" Katara asked them.

"We'd like some Ginseng tea." Gyatso said, that was what they always ordered.

"COFFEE FOR ME!1!1!" Bumi yelled, then snorted some, "With twice the caffeine!"

Katara smiled at Bumi's request, "Sure, Bumi, whatever suits your taste."

Katara and Toph went to the back of the store to prepare the Ginseng tea and…Bumi's hype coffee.

After the tea was done being prepared, Toph handed four of the men the tea cups and Katara poured the ginseng tea into each of the cups using a tea kettle. Aang gave Bumi a large cup of coffee with a marshmallow on top.

"Katara you look down." Pakku spoke up.

"It's just school." Katara sighed, "You think it's the best thing that's going to happen, but it's not, it's a nightmare."

Katara told them all about the L4 and the stuff they did during school.

"I've heard of the L4, isn't Ozai's son the leader of it?" Jeong Jeong asked.

"Yeah, I guess leadership runs in their family." Katara replied, "The bad kind of leadership."

"Well, don't let them distract you, you know they're just immature kids, they'll grow out of it." Pakku replied, sipping his tea.

"I hope so." Katara sighed.

"Okay here are your tips." Piandao said, "You guys always know how to satisfy your most loyal customers."

The five elders placed gold and silver coins on the middle of their table.

"Thank you." Katara bowed.

"Thank you for this wonderful tea, more people should come here." Gyatso said, "You guys would make such wonderful business if this place was in the upper ring."

"Yeah, we would be richer than those L4 snobs." Toph alleged.

"It doesn't matter to me." Katara smile, "Being rich in Ba Sing Se is so overrated and I'm thankful for everything I have now."

"Such a sweet girl, I wish more people were like you; all we have in this world is so much hate and disgrace ever since Ozai took over Ba Sing Se." Jeong Jeong said, scratching his beard.

"Don't worry, Katara will fix this once and for all, because she's a tough weed." Aang teased.

"Shut up Aang." Katara smiled, regretting she told Aang about her new nickname, "All I have to do is try to stay unnoticed so my school year will go smoothly."

"That doesn't always work, Katara." Pakku said, "Sometimes you have to learn to face things that you don't want to face."
