Ba Sing Se Boarding High

Sokka, Captain Boomerang

*Sokka POV*

Grade 11. It's a new year at Ba Sing Se high. Maybe I'll make lacrosse team captain this year. I mean, I'm a Ba Sing Se Badgermole, but it would be cool to make team captain. But I'm still trying out for all the teams I can because if I can make enough of them, I might get team captain. Suki keeps beating me though. We dated for a while last year, at least until she told me I was just a test run to double-check that she was gay. I feel a little betrayed. But I'll live through it. Besides, she was kinda a test run for me too. Just checking to make sure I'm still bi. I've been with a bunch of guys lately, and I was starting to get teased, so I wanted to prove a point. 

Katara is starting high school this year. Hopefully, it isn't too much for her. After what happened to mom, she's been super depressed. Oh, I'm at my dorm. I walk in and see a kid. He had to be a ninth-grader, cause he's like, really short. He had short brown hair and was wearing an orange hoodie. (Yes Aang has hair. I just feel like modern AU needs Aang to have hair) Orange? Kinda weird. Most of the kids here wore the colours of their nations, we had all of them here, but orange was air. I kinda lied when I said we had all of them. Air is kinda the one nation that stays out of the others' business. They had recently had a bunch of fires at their temples though, so maybe that was why. I personally don't think the fires were a coincidence, but I'm not gonna get into that. The kid turned around when he heard me come in. He smiled at me. It seemed a little fake if you ask me. He had concealer under his eyes like he was trying to hide bags. I wouldn't have noticed it if Katara didn't do the same thing. Maybe I was just projecting. 

"Hi! My name's Aang, and I guess we're roommates. But we still have one more. I wonder who it is," He said cheerfully.

"Uhh, Sokka. Yeah. Sucks that roommates change every year. I finally got used to Haru and Jet," I replied. Ugh, those two were IMPOSSIBLE. They were like polar opposites, despite both being from the Earth Kingdom. Jet's a little sleazeball that I'm honestly surprised hasn't gone to jail for rape yet. Haru was okay, but he insisted on growing out his moustache, and it looked ridiculous. Hopefully, this Aang kid was okay. That was when the door opened. We both turned around and I looked on in horror. Anyone but this guy. Heck! I'd take Jet over him any day.

"Hello, Zuko here," He said awkwardly. You have GOT to be kidding me. No one knew why the Fire Lord's son went here, or why he had a massive scar on his face, but he was the BIGGEST bully in the entire school. Aang smiled at him. Right, the kid doesn't KNOW the school dynamic.

"Hi! My name's Aang, and this is Sokka! We're roommates now!" Aang has got to be the fakest person on the planet. Unless he's just LIKE this. If he is, I'm going to lose it. 

"Hi, Aang. So, uh, did you guys want the bunk beds?" Zuko looked at me.

"No, I'm taking the single. You guys can have the bunks," I walked over to the single. But Zuko smiled when I said he could have the bunk beds. THE GUY SMILED! Why? This guy doesn't smile.

"YAY! I call top bunk!" Aang flew up to the top bunk. An Airbender. Great. And Scarface is a firebender. I'm now the only nonbender here. This is going to be fun.
