Desire
Chapter 1
"Zuko? Zuko! Hello?" Jet's hand blurred in front of Zuko's eyes as he franticly waved it in front of his face. "Did you even hear what I said?"
"What? No sorry" Zuko said sheepishly, "I was thinking about her"
"Who?" Jet said obviously irritated.
"Her! Her with the skin like milky coffee and eyes you could swim in. The sun comes out every time I see her. It pushes the dark clouds covering my soul, pushes them right away, and lets me see the truth. She is the one for me."
"Who?" Jet repeated.
"The fit waitress who started working in the café round the corner" Zuko said annoyed that Jet did not have the same romantic mindset as him and obviously, though he was joking when really he could not truer. Not even to himself.
"Oh" Jet's eyes shined with realization, "She is fiiine!"
"Yeah! I said that!" Zuko's eyes burnt with fire and irritation of no one understanding him.
"Really? I just heard stuff about coffee and swimming?" Jet said tussling his hair as he glanced at the girls sitting near the lake.
Zuko and Jet were sitting on a bench in the park enjoying the last few days of summer holidays. Well that is how Zuko would describe it. Jet would say 'trying to score some chicks'. Though they had different outlooks on life, Jet and Zuko had been friends for as long as either of them could remember.
"I wonder if she's in our year?" Jet said thoughtfully, "It would be fun if she was." A sly smile crept onto his face. By 'fun' Zuko knew Jet meant snogging and Zuko did not want to know what else!
"I thought you like those girls over there?" Zuko said inclining his head towards the lake.
"Yeah but now I've got bigger and more beautiful fish to fry!" Jet was getting up to leave. "See you on Monday Zu-Zu" Zuko hated being called that! He watched Jet walk ou of the park knowing he'd stop by the café. Zuko would've loved be anywhere but there when Jet was flirting with girls but that was his only way home, right past the café.
