Destined To Be

Chapter 1

Sokka POV
"SOKKA WAKE UP YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE" My obnoxious sister katara yells at me while hitting me with my pillow

"Ok ok.." I say groggily as I drag myself from under my covers to the corner of my room to get dressed.

Today is the first day of school for me, my sister katara and her so called 'friend' Aang. Aang lived with us ever since his family died from a fire, we knew him long before so me, Katara and our grandmother, gran gran welcomed him with open arms. "Sokka if you're not downstairs in the next 5 minutes I am going to come up there and drag you down here myself!!" Katara angrily screamed at me. "I'm getting dressed relax! I'll be right down" I yell back obviously annoyed. I reach into my dresser and pull out a white simple T-shirt, a grey crew neck sweatshirt some blue jeans and dark blue vans and head downstairs. I grab a banana at the counter, greet my grandmother and stumble outside, barley out of time to meet with Katara and Aang. "Finially we were about to leave." Katara said as she glared at me. "Hey Sokka! Good morning" Aang cheerfully said with a smile ear to ear.

We began our walk to our high school, Ba sing se Academy. "I don't know why you were rushing me Tara, and you didn't have to beat me senseless with my own pillow!" I angrily express towards my sister. "Sokka you slept in, it's 7:45 and we live 10 minutes away, if you took any longer we would be late" Katara explained. Fine I sighed as I chewed on my banana.

Zuko POV

I slam my alarm clock to stop the annoying beeping. I sit up from bed and rub my eyes as I pry myself from the comfy surface of my mattress to head over to my dresser. I pick out a black T-shirt along with a red hoodie with black jeans. I comb my hair and brush my teeth as I get ready for the morning. I head to the living room with my uncle waiting for me with breakfast. "Good morning Zuko!" My uncle said too eagerly "I hope you slept well, it's the first day of school!" He excitedly said. "I slept fine" I mutter as I sit down and start to eat the pancakes he made. "Remember your shift at the tea shop starts right after school, don't be late" Iroh explained. "I won't uncle, I promise" I responded as I began to get up and get my bag and put on my shoes. "Goodbye uncle, I'll see you after school" I say as I head out the door.

I rush through the doors of my first period class barley getting there on time. "Good morning.." "oh my name is zuko I'm new here" I say to who I assume Is my history teacher. "Good morning Zuko! Class I'd like you to meet our new student who transferred here from Sozin high" There's an awkward silence before my teacher tells me to take a seat next to a kid named Sokka. She pointed to the back corner of the room. As I walk my way over there I examine him. He's tan with his hair tied into a tight pony tail but what sticks out the most to me are his eyes, his deep blue eyes. I plop down in my seat and try to make up an excuse to talk to him. Just like that like he is reading my mind he turns over to me and introduces himself. "Hi there if Sokka, you must be zuko, nice to meet ya" he says in a cheerful tone. "Thank god he didn't mention anything about my scar" I say in my mind as I reply. "H-hi, I'm zuko, b-but of course you already knew that b-because I said it when I walked in. Also the teacher said it and you just said it so..you already..know my name...hi.." "UGH what is wrong with me! I don't have to be so awkward I've seen cute boys before, I know how to speak" I mentally scold myself. Sokka lets out a slight chuckle "well of course I know your name, I couldn't forget a name like that" he says as he looks me in my eyes. I let out an awkward little laugh, "T-thanks, it was given to me on my birthday" I say immediately regretting my response. He just lets out another chuckle and just turns back around to stare at the bored.

Sokka POV

"AAHHH WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING!! Was I too forward? Did I come off as weird? What is wrong with me!" I say yelling at myself in my head. "Ughh that was so cheezy, complimenting his name? I'm too forward ugh, I need to step it down" I'm cut off mid thought by the bell ringing. I pack up my stuff and walk out the classroom to my other classes.

The bell rings and it's lunch time. I head over to my locker and get my lunch. As I'm walking to the courtyard outside I can't help but notice zuko getting frustrated as his lock. He bangs his locker and sighs in frustration. Before I know it my legs are taking me over to him and ask if he needs any help. "O-oh uh sure" he says. He tells me his lock combo and I open it with one swift try. "Thanks" he says. "No problem, any time" I reply with a smile. I can see the light blush on his pale cheeks and the sight of seeing him blush makes me blush. He seems to notice because his blush then depends to a darker red and just looks away into his locker. He grabs his lunch and turns back to me and thanks me one more time and walks away.

I head to the lunch room and greet my friends, Katara, Aang toph and suki, at our usual table. We start goofing and talking about nonsense until I glance across the courtyard to see zuko sitting alone under a tree reading while eating. He takes off his sweatshirt and for a split second I see his defined abs and muscular body. I keep staring for what feels like ages until Katara finially snaps me out of it by waving her hand in front of my face. "Hello? Earth to sokka?" She says, I snap my head back and look at her. "Looks like someone has a new cruuush" she teases me "what's his name? Is it the new student?" She asks persistently. "He is not my crush Tara now stop it" I say trying to hide my slight blush but it doesn't work as she goes on saying, "sokka I know you're lying, you like him." "I just met him! And we had 1 period together." She narrows her eyes at me. "Ok ok fine maybe 2...could be possibly 3 but it doesn't mean I like him!" Katara gives me a look and turns around to continue eating her lunch.

School finishes and I pop in my headphones and start my walk home. I'm walking down the block and all I can think about is him..zuko. The way we locked eyes back in history class, the way his golden eyes lit up when I complimented his name which was still very stupid of me. The way he blushed when I helped him. The sight of his abs, even though it was for a quick second it seemed like it was an eternity- "Oh damn.." I think to myself "I DO like him.." I'm immediately cut from my train of thought when I hear a voice calling after me. I turn around and I see him.
