Prequel
There was a kind girl who knew much evil.
There was a just boy who knew life was all but fair.
Sometimes they worried they were parallel lines.
Always together but never meeting.
They had dated- if you would even call it dating- before.
Just a few kisses on the cheeks and holding hands before lunch.
He was eleven and thought the world was just cardboard boxes and dirt roads.
She was eleven and thought the world was corruption and the lines gathering on her father's forehead.
At the age of eleven, they realized that they both only needed a friend.
Their break up was not tragic. No tears were shed. No hearts broken.
Kai remembered how she looked before they broke up. She stood tall and proud, a smile playing at her lips.
Jinora remembered how after they broke up, he kissed her on the cheek and asked if he could still sit next to her at lunch.
They left to eat and Jinora wondered if parallel lines could fall in love with each other.
