Author's Notes: Many thanks to my totally awesome editor 3VAD127. OK, my first fanfic ever, let alone songfic!! Please review, I'm open to constructive criticism, but please NO FLAMERS. Enjoy!!
Disclaimer: I regrettably don't own "Avatar" or the song Teardrops on My Guitar. That song is sung by Tylor Swift, and if I had a voice half as good as her I'd be rich!

Teardrops
"Mai."
Mai looked up, startled, from the book she was reading. It was Zuko.
"Yes, Prince Zuko," she replied.
He got up from the table where he had been sitting beside her.
"I'm going to go get ready for my date with that girl Uncle wants me to meet, OK?"
Mai nodded and went back to her book, but she wasn't concentrating on it.
You look at me,
I fake a smile so you won't see
That I want, and I need
Everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl you talk about,
And she's got everything that I have to live without
Mai looked up. He was still there. "Are you OK, Mai?" Zuko asked her. Again, Mai nodded as he started to leave. She heard the doors close behind him as a tear trickled down her face.
You talk to me,
I laugh 'cause it's just so funny
That I can't even see
Anyone when you're with me
You say you're so in love, you've finally got it right
I wonder if you know you're all I think about at night?
You're the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
You're the song in the car I keep singin', don't know why I do
Another tear slipped down and hit her book. She couldn't stop thinking about him, his smile, his eyes…
You walk by me
Can you tell that I can't breathe?
And there you go, so perfectly
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold you tight, give you all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky 'cause
You're the reason for the teardrops on my guitar,
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
You're the song in the car I keep singin', don't know why I do
The door creaked behind her, and she looked up hopefully. It was just Ty Lee.
"So how ya doing, Mai?" she asked.
Mai didn't answer.
So I drive home alone; as I turn out the light
I'll put your picture down and maybe get some sleep tonight
'Cause you're the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
You're the song in the car I keep singin', don't know why I do
You're the time taken up, but there's never enough,
And you're all that I need to fall into…
You look at me,
I fake a smile you you won't see.
