Jealousy #1

Aang

I saw them together, making steam from fire and water. It bothered me. I don't know why, they said they were just friends, but it just hurts seeing them happy when they're around each other. They were always happy and smiling and doing stuff together. I hated it. Everything was perfect before he came. Everything was coming together, it was good. I had just gotten the courage up to tell Katara that I loved her, but Zuko always got in my way! I hated him, no, I loathed him. I wanted him dead. I wanted to kill him, to torture him so he could feel what I was feeling now. It crushed me to see her eyes sparkling when she looked at him. I decided to go and spy on them, to see what they were doing. To see what he was doing to make her so happy.

I walked over and saw them in the water, splashing each other. I hid behind a bush, I know, kind of obvious. Zuko dipped his head under water and Katara looked around for him.

"Zuko? Zuko? It's not funny! Come on! Where are you?" At that moment he came up behind her and bound her arms to her sides. He was going to hurt her! She screamed and then laughed. I was confused. He spun her around and gently kissed her. My heart was wrenched out of my chest. I stood there dumbstruck as they kissed passionately.

"Who are we spying on?" I jumped. It was just Toph.

"What makes you think I'm spying on anyone?"

"You are spying on Katara and Zuko again, aren't you?"

"Fine, you caught me! Jeez, can't you let me be alone to spy for a second?"

"No, I don't want to miss out on the fun!"

"Fine, but keep quiet"

"I am the master of this, just watch" I shook my head and looked back at Katara and Zuko. Toph's hand moved in a gesturing manoeuvre and suddenly Katara fell on top of Zuko.

"I know you like me, but I didn't think you wanted me that bad, Kat!" Katara giggled and kissed him.

"Like I said, master" Toph whispered.

"Master at the wrong thing" I muttered sourly.

"What? Why is it wrong?"

"Because I want them apart so I can talk to Katara"

"Haven't you seen anything else other than how beautiful Katara is?" Toph scorned.

"Like what?"

"Like how another girl might like you?" She got up, pushed me over roughly and walked away. I guess my jealousy blinded me. I ran after Toph, I didn't care about Katara anymore, she had Zuko. As long as she was happy, I was happy.
