How Katara got detention

Katara sat down and hunched forward, and started to do the days homework. Her homework never got the opportunity to pile up, since she spent all her time in detention doing it.

Now she was not an unreasonable person, and was willing to admit her mistake when it actually was. But this time, it was not her fault in the least bit. Sure she was a hot tempered person who easily got into fights, so it was especially hard for her to ignore that obnoxious, sexist brat who called himself "Prince" Zuko, when he was bullying her brother.

She was walking innocently down the halls, when she heard him.

"Waterbending." She heard Zuko snort. "That's a girls bending style. Are you a girl Sokka?"

"You know, I heard that the peasant can't even bend!" One of his cronies, Jet stated. He had been freakishly stalking Zuko ever since they first met. At first, Zuko had been mildly scared of the apparent crush he had on him, but after he found out that Jet's father was a millionaire, he let Jet "hang out" with him by letting him join the football team, the reason Jet was stalking the captain in the first place.

"The peasant can't bend? Then why is he going to a benders school?"

Peasant Katara thought just because his social status is lower than yours Prince Zuko, doesn't mean he is any worse off than you. I bet you don't have a pool in your house do you?

"Maybe he just wants to "fit in"" Jet made finger quotation marks at the last two words.

"Well he's going to fit in really well with all the girls in his waterbending class. They have so much in common!"

"Like what?" Jet asked, sensing his cue.

"Well, they can't fight, and they both like guys!"

The two jocks started laughing at their own stupid joke, and, seeing this, Sokka seized his opportunity and swung out with his left arm, aiming a punch at Zuko's gut.

He missed.

Laughing, Zuko pointed out how this proved that girls and water benders couldn't fight.

Katara had been seething throughout this whole conversation. At the last comment she got so furious, that she bent some water from the nearest water fountain, accidentally splashing someone she and her friends called "cabbage boy" in the face.

"Why is it always me?" she vaguely remembered boy ask, soaked.

She brought the water up to the ceiling, then down again right above Jet and Zuko, drenching the so-called "jocks"

Then she brought the water back up to the same level as the boy's inflated heads, and sent a whip of water right to Zuko's temple, knocking him down to the ground. She then froze him there.

"Who says girls can't fight?" she asked triumphantly smirking.

"I do." Professor Pakku growled. "At least in the halls. I saw how you were bullying that boy." He said looking directly at Zuko. "The two of you report to detention."

Now how was that her fault? Katara asked herself. I hate this school.

Sitting there in detention when it was all that Jerks fault made her feel so frustrated that it took her all her energy not to hit the closest living thing in sight. I.e.: The Jerk himself.

To her disgust, she then heard Zuko burp after finishing his sloppy joe.

She dotted an "i" with such ferocity that she poked a hole in her paper.

Dammit.
