Life as the Blind Bandit

Disclaimer: I am not the lucky owner of avatar.

A/N I couldn't think of what to write in Yin and Baang and I was really bored so I started this enjoy.

Chapter one: starting school

"Toph, are you sure you don't want someone to help you around, you could miss something with your cane." Poppy asked her daughter as she dropped her off at school.

"I'll be fine mom." Sighed Toph.

"Ok, well I'll pick you up after school good bye" Poppy answered somewhat reluctantly. Toph waved good bye and as soon as her mom was far enough away, she hid her cane behind the bush at the front of the school.

New school new life, maybe people wouldn't treat her different if they didn't know right away that she was blind. She walked into the school "looking" for her locker. She casually felt along the numbers making it seem as if she was just running her fingers along the wall. When she felt hers she stopped, she listened for the almost silent clicks as she turned the numbers, and opened her locker. She personalized her locker to her liking, putting up an indented picture of her favorite earth benders and hiding her MP3 player behind her science book. She was just getting the things she needed for her first few classes, when a girl walked up behind her.

"Hi, you must be new here." The voice was sincere but there was something about it that bugged Toph.

"Must be." Toph answered bitterly.

"Well I'm Katara, if you need any help finding your classes or anything, just let me know." Katara offered.

"Well actually, do you know where Mr. Iroh's class is?" Toph asked reluctantly. She hadn't met the teachers yet so she hadn't been able to memorize their vibrations. That was the way Toph saw, she would feel the vibrations in the earth and she could tell ware things where and who was who.

"That's my first hour, come on, I'll take you there." Katara said excitedly. "Oh and I really like your eyes they're so pretty." She added. Toph was unsure of what to say, as she couldn't see so she settled on,

"Yours too." And she thought all and all she'd had worst first days.

A/N so what do you think? Just so you know this is modern day, but with bending. R&R or suffer the wrath of my alter ego.
