Hey, guys! This is an AU Zutara story that has nothing to do with all the other stories I've wrote. This is set in OmaShu, which has been modernized to fit the theme. No bending, no war, just the characters, high school, and coping with being a teenager. There are hints of Taang and Sukka in this story.
P.S. The characters all have the same age as in the series, and this isn't written completely in the diary form. It's just a diary entry typed in italics after each chapter. Enjoy!
Katara walked over to the table in the cafeteria where she usually sits, with her brother, Suki, and Song. After finishing their food, Katara just spoke with Song and Suki for a while before Azula, Ty Lee and Mai all walked over to them. "So, it's all the same routine, huh? Even this year, all of you are still the same boring group you were last year. Haha, pathetic." After Azula and her "friends" left, Katara felt her temper rise.
"Why that little witch! Just because her father's the Fire Lord and is curently here in OmaShu, she thinks she's the queen of the world!" Katara said, frustrated.
Just then, the door to the cafeteria opened and a new student walked in wearing a 'My Chemical Romance' shirt and a black jacket with ripped jeans and some sneakers. His hair covered the left side of his face, but you could easily see the scar that covered that area. He sat down at an empty table in the corner and glared at those who stared at him, Sokka included.
"Who is that?" Sokka asked the others. Song was the one with the answer. "Who are you talking about? That guy by the corner? That's Zuko, Azula's brother. He just got back after he and his Uncle travelled around the world." she told them.
"How do youknow that?" Katara asked her, suspicious.
"His uncle apparently drank some tea made from a poisonous plant a while back. My mother and I helped them, you know, before we moved back here?" Song told the three.
"So that's the owner of the footsteps I couldn't recognize." said a voice form behind Katara. Turning around, she replied, "Hey, Toph. What took you so long?"
"TwinkleToes insisted on taking a short cut through the gym. Unfortunately, somebody here forgot the way back from the chem lab and we got lost."
"I said I was sorry, didn't I?" Aang said, walking over to them.
Then, the Principal walked over to their table, looking very urgent. "Katara, I need to talk to you in my office. Now." Before even waiting for an answer, Master/Principal Pakku grabbed her arm and pulled her away. Over at Azula's table (aka, the POPULAR table), gossip was going on about Katara being sent to the Principal's office.
"I hear she was caught making out with Jet in the janitor's closet!"
"That's not what I heard. They say that she spray painted the Principal's car because he gave her a B+ instead of an A-."
"You guys are nuts. The buzz is that she couldn't pay tuition, so she has to transfer to that other school downtown!"
In the end, none of the rumor mongers figured out the real reason for Master Pakku calling for Katara.
Dear Diary,
I was just given the most horrendous task today by Master Pakku. Come on, It sucks being the only one in the School Welcoming Committee. Then again, it's not my fault Toph, Song and Suki decided not to join. Well, other than that, all was well, except for maybe Aang getting his tenth detention this semester. If that boy can make it through the year without being expelled, it should be on the school paper's front page. Of course, that would NEVER happen, so why bother, right? Anyway, we had a new student today. He's the brother of the self-proclaimed school queen, Azula the demon princess. Speaking of Zuko, you'd never guess what my task was...
The first chapter of my new project all wrapped up. Thanks for reading, and I'll update this as ASAP!
