It began with a dull red crayon.
Ty Lee rested her head on her best friend's shoulder and watched the new girl from across the room. She was with Mai, who had the cute ribbons in her hair that she hated for no good reason.
"Do you think she'd be my friend?" Ty Lee asked and no one gave her an answer.
She waited and neglected her drawing. It wasn't any good. Ty Lee succeeded at athletics, not art.
Azula walked over to her and Ty Lee's young heart fluttered.
She seized Ty Lee's favorite crayon and wordlessly walked away.
