Finding Love: Kataang AU

Chapter 5- A Crush?

Previously in Finding Love: Kataang AU

I kept on crying in my lap. I felt Aang hug me.

"Katara, please. Tell me what's wrong. I'm your friend," he said. I pulled away from the hug.

"You are not my friend! I don't need any friends! Every friend I had betrayed me and so will you!" I yelled while crying.

"Katara...tell me what's happening. I will be here for you. I will never betray you," he said sounding worried. I looked into his eyes and knew that he meant what he said.

"Fine, I'll tell you the truth,"

Katara's POV

"So...the truth is....I...um...uh" I stuttered, trying to find the right words to tell him. He looked at me, wondering what I'm trying to say. "I...um,"

"Hey Aang, are you okay? I saw that crazy girl with a black hood yelling at you..."  This boy with amber eyes and black hair with a scar on his face ran outside, trailing off his words when he noticed me. I assume that he's one of Aang's friends whose name is...Zuko, I believe. I've seen him a few times in school, but he's never noticed me. I glared at him, telling him I was the one he was describing and that he'll pay for calling me crazy.

"Hello there," Zuko said friendly, looking sweaty and nervous for calling me crazy. "It's nice to meet you,"

"Can't say the same for you," I said rudely. I really don't care how rude I sound when people are giving me a friendly introduction. I don't even want any friends. But I guess I can be friends with Aang. He's so kind and sweet. He even got worried when I was all weird when I was hearing about the dangerous couple escaping jail.

"So, are you Aang's friend?" Zuko asked. 

There was a silence for a few moments before I answered, "Yeah,"

Aang looked at me, surprised at the answer. I can't believe that I just called myself Aang's friend, but if it'll make him distracted and leave me alone, then fine.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to eat my lunch," I said, standing up to go to the cafeteria. I was afraid Aang would ask me what was wrong. Aang was about to speak but I beat him to it and added, "By myself!" I raised my voice, looking at him. I ran back inside. I don't want him to know the truth. He's a nice person, he shouldn't really know.

Aang's POV

After school, I tried to look for Katara, but I didn't find her anywhere in the school. She's really good at hiding when she wants to be left alone. So I tried texting her.

Katara

Aang: Where are you? 

I waited for a reply. My phone finally vibrated and I read this.

Katara: LEAVE ME ALONE!!! If you're really my friend then you'll give me some space!!! 😡😡😡

And that's what I did. I gave her some space for the next couple of days. She seemed to feel better 'cause there haven't been any updates on the dangerous couple. I believe people call them The Criminal Couple.

It was Saturday. I wanted to spend some time with Katara. She seemed pretty chill now. I took out my phone and went to my messaging app. She was online, so I texted her.
