This is just a short one-shot I did on the spur of the moment while watching 'The Beach'.
Please review. I'd appreciate it.

The young girl flicked the slender knife at the small paper she had pinned on the wall. It hit with deadly accuracy. She stared blankly at the wall, her expression never changing to show her excitement that she felt.
A few months ago, one might have seen the girl smile or blush, especially when a certain boy by the name of Prince Zuko walked past, but now, it was an entirely different story. The raven-haired girl never smiled, never expressed any emotion for that matter besides boredom, and she spoke in a monotonous voice. She spent her time in her room, doing schoolwork or other things that her parents considered academic, or that's what they thought. In truth, she was teaching herself knife-throwing. It was a skill she had taken interest into after Zuko had been banished.
Before he had left on that ship with General Iroh, Zuko had turned to her after speaking with his sister, Azula and Ty Lee, and had pulled out a small, elongated object that he placed in her hand out of sight of anyone else. He had leaned towards her and whispered in her ear that he had found the knife outside the walls and had immediately thought to give it to her, but had had no time.
And those were the last words Zuko had said to her. For the last four months, she had been keen on learning the art so that when Zuko came home, she would have something to show him. Something to prove of her love for him.
If there one thing Mai was sure of, it was that she loved the banished Prince.
Prince Zuko.
