A/N: Ah, Yes, the flood of inspiration before the inevitable writer's block. This was fun to make;)

         Aang waited for his newfound friends to freak out, but no one did. Instead, Katara simply said, "Well that explains why you aren't home schooled anymore. There was no one to teach you how to bend the other elements."

"Yeah, you can master all the bending disciplines. No big deal," said Sokka, "I'm more interested in your schedule. Do you have four times as much work as the rest of us?"

"Let's see." June handed Aang his schedule, and the three of them headed out to the courtyard. 

"I have history with Lo and Li for first period," he read off of the laminated sheet of paper. 

"Ugh, those two are the worst," said Katara, "But the good thing is I have them too!" She held up her schedule, "this will be great!"

"Wait a second," Sokka looked at his schedule carefully, "Why do I have history for first period too?" he groaned, "I forgot I failed that class last year."

"Cheer up Sokka," said Aang. He was practically skipping for joy. "At least we'll all be together." As they passed Appa sitting in the courtyard, he scratched the dog's head.

"I'll be back for you as soon as the day's over," he assured, then took another look at the schedule. "It looks like I have waterbending for the first trimester, earthbending for the second, and firebending for the third." It sounded like a lot of work, and Aang wasn't sure he was ready for it. There were so many techniques to master, and so much he didn't know. 

"Aang, are you starting on level one or level two waterbending?" He snapped back to reality.

"I uh- I'm starting at level two," he stammered. 

"Good, that means we'll have have second period together for the first trimester," said Katara, "I didn't have a friend in waterbending last year. Almost all of my classmates were boys from the really fancy neighborhoods north of here." she took Aang's hand, "I'm so glad you're here." 

Is this real, Aang thought as the three of them headed towards the building to the left. He had stumbled upon two people who not only liked him, but didn't even care that he was the avatar. Sokka was sarcastic and smart, and though Katara probably didn't think so, Aang thought he was hilarious. And Katara... everything about her was amazing, from the way she messily tied back her hair to how she touched the blue pendant around her neck when she smiled.                      Could we ever be more than friends someday? he thought, before shaking the notion away, and it was replaced with another thought. Will everyone here be like Sokka and Katara? Will everyone be ok with me being the avatar? If they were, and Aang smiled at this, if they were, than high school would be a breeze. 

"This is certainly... unique," Aang struggled to find words as he and his friends entered the history classroom. It was decorated with pink seashell wallpaper, and instead of paintings of historical figures, the walls were decorated with photos of two old women, the same ones that stood in the front of the room.

"Welcome to history class," they said in unison, "before we get started there are a few students that will be skipping this class in favor of a school tour. Here are your tour guides!" Stepping into the classroom was a boy and a girl. They had the same black hair, and pale skin, so Aang assumed they were siblings. 

"That's Zuko," Katara whispered, pointing to the boy. He wore a red letterman jacket, and there was something off about his face, but Aang couldn't figure out what it was in the low light of the classroom. Katara pointed to the girl. She wore a black denim skirt, a red crop top, and a devilish smirk on her face.
