Dreaming

She raised her head, her eyes towards the stars. She frowned, and placed her hand on her lap. She acted tough, acted fine, acted great. She secretly wished, secretly hoped, but always thought she was never going to be the girl.

He smiled gently at her, as they sat on the ground. "How's your girlfriend?" she coldly started, as her eyes kept forward. He turned his head to look at her and chuckled, "She's not my girlfriend" replying back, she rested her chin on her palm while her elbow pressed against her thigh.

"Gee" she looked away from him.

"You know, I always felt great with her, but not being with her everyday hurt me all the time. I think I found someone better though" she sighed at his reply, and thought, "Great"

She tried her best to sound as normal as she could, never being able to explain her feelings towards him completely. Instead, she shunned herself away from him, believing she's never going to get ANY attention.

"What's she like?" "Well. She's unique, down to earth, super cool and has this spunk that's incomparable. She thinks she's ordinary, but I think she has this beauty that puts a smile on my face whenever she smiles at me. You know it's funny, she's bittersweet, loves to tease me, and yet, she's the girl I'm after"

"Do I know her?" "Pretty well, my only regret is noticing how great she is later. I wish I'd realize it sooner"

She looked away, her brows furrowed. "Who is she?"

"Hmm, well..I think..she would have to be" he paused and exhaled deeply.

"She would be the girl, sitting next to me right now"

She raised her head, and looked at him, while he gazed at her," I wish I'd realize it sooner, but you're the closest I've ever had"

"Right" "You are. And I can only wish I'd seen it sooner. So, I'm sorry. For everything"

She smiled a little, looking down, as tears nearly fell from her face.

"Thanks, Sokka" she smiled at him, as he widened his smile back.

He snaked his arms around her waist and kissed her forehead.
