Exploding Through Dimensions

Chapter 8: Zuko

"Oh, this just keep getting better." Kaminari grabbed his stomach.

Placing his head in his hands, Bakugo seriously contemplated throwing these two idiots of the temple.

"Bakugo?!"

"Look if you must know I don't even think she realized it, which is how I smashed my damn face against the wall."

"Oh man!"

"That's rough." Kirishima smirked.

"You think?!" Bakugo snapped, now turning his gaze to the slowly approaching bison. "I don't want to admit when I've stepped down low enough in the idiocy bar where I damn well might as well surpassed Sparky over here."

"Hey!"

"But it's obvious I fucked up by saying that, but it's not like it'll make a damn difference anyways. She already made it clear that she wants to make 'friends'" he sarcastically rolled his eyes remembering their conversation from before. "So where does this shit even leave me..."

"Well at least you'll be her best friend." Kaminari snickered right before Bakugo lunged at him.

"Hey what are you boys talking about?" Mina wiped her hands on her skirt.

"Nothing." They all said.

"Yup definitely not suspicious at all." Mina placed her hands on her hip while turning to see Uraraka watching Toph suddenly storm off.

"Did you guys manage to figure out what they were talking about?" Mina curiously turned to them as they shrugged their shoulders obviously not caring. "Unbelievable. Don't you guys know anything about eavesdropping?"

"Won't have to." Bakugo saw Uraraka sit down when the new guy walked towards them after Aang and everyone left inside one of the halls.

"Um hi, you must be wondering who I am." He awkwardly waved, only stopping a couple of feet from them.

"Didn't ask." Bakugo simply said receiving a nudge from Uraraka. "Well, I didn't!"

"Well, my names Zuko and I'm from the fire nation."

"Oh so you must be a bender?" Uraraka piped up and tried her best to ignore Mina's and Kaminaris amused faces.

"Um yeah..." Zuko rubbed the back of his head trying to avoid his eyes. "Are you part of team avatar too?"

"UGH don't lump me in with those idiots!" Bakugo groaned, raising his knee and placing his forehead against it.

"We're just passing by." Uraraka said tilting her head and watching how this Zuko guy tried to hide the side of his face. "Didn't seem like you guys got along."

"You could say that." Zuko looked back over his shoulder where the rest of the group had disappeared to. "I haven't exactly given them a reason to welcome me in."

"Why what did you do?" Mina quirked an intrigued brow hoping to hear some juicy gossip while they were here.

"You're kidding right?" Zuko gave them an unamused expression, not sure if they were in fact joking or seriously had no clue and if that were the case then he could have one of two options. One, these people were just trying to mess with him before rejecting him which seemed that everyone seemed to do lately. Or two, they really didn't know who he was so this was a good chance to maybe get someone on his side and convince the avatar to let him help. Hoping to get the latter he took a deep breath before he let it all out.

"Woah dude, so what you're saying..." Kaminari continued to gape at Zuko afterwards.

"Yeah...I'm the sworn enemy of the avatar and have been chasing him around the world for some time and prince Zuko of the fire nation." Rubbing his head Zuko averted his eyes just waiting for the sudden uproar to happen but instead was met with the reaction he didn't expect.
