A/N: Here's a quick Tokka drabble that has nothing to do with anything. High School A/U Toph is a Freshman and Sokka is a Junior. She is still blind! It really annoys me when alternate universes don't include her blindness, or replace it with colorblindness... it's just... UGH! It's a key part of her character and she wouldn't be the same without it. Sorry, I started to rant a bit. Here it is anyways. Also I don't own Avatar!

Sometimes Sokka wondered about her… only sometimes, when he was able to sneak a glance or write her name out on the board when nobody was looking. She, certainly, was never looking. Not at him, not at anything.

Sometimes he wondered what it would be like to be blind… not being able to see the simplest things. Not being able to write, or read, feeling like an outcast in a school full of strangers.

Sometimes he wondered why she liked his sister… Katara was popular, Toph was ignored. Nobody seemed to know she existed, even if she stood on the tables and stomped and screamed at the top of her lungs, they couldn't see her, just like she couldn't see them. Katara could see her. Katara understood.

Sometimes he wondered what she was like… was she quiet and meek, like she seemed, or was she something completely unexpected and different? Was she who he wanted her to be?

Sometimes he wondered if she knew he was there… did she know when he passed her in the hallway, or tripped over her walking cane? Did she care for his existence, or did she block it out like she did the others?

Sometimes he wondered why Zuko always stood next to her… why was he so protective of a girl that paid him no attention? Seniors and freshmen didn't really interact. Was it because he was school representative, and she was blind? Did she need to be represented?

Sometimes he wondered why she smiled… he had seen her smile only once, and he hadn't really seen it. He had felt it, in his direction.

Sometimes he wondered why she wasn't homeschooled… were her parents dead? Busy? Why would they send her here?

Sometimes he wondered why she made fun of Aang… was it because he was like her? Short and skinny? Was she just making fun of herself this entire time?

Sometimes he wondered why she occasionally had bandages over her eyes… were they from surgery? Did she need surgery? Was her sight fixable, did she want to see?

...Did she want to see him?

And, on the other end of the cafeteria, sometimes Toph wondered if he wondered about her.

A/N: Only now do I realize that 'wondered' is a weird word.
