My second story on Avatar the last Airbender which by the way, I don't own.
I wrote this on personal experience. I am not adopted, I just feel alone.
Enjoy your reading and don't forget to review.
Thanks for everything…. Nefeli
Hi. My name is Toph. I am a tomboy and I live in Ba Sing Se. I go to Omasu High School and my first crush's name is Sokka. My best friend is Aang but he left to go to the Northern Air Temple because his step father monk Gyatso died. My best friends are Katara, Meng, Lily and Yue who likes Sokka too. Right now I feel so alone without Aang. That goofy smart guy always made me laugh. Everything changed though when my parents Poppy and Lao told me that my biological father is 'the boulder' the most famous box fighter in the world. I was thrilled to get to know him but something changed with my parents. They were not my real parents so I have been living with strangers. I wish Aang was here to make a stupid joke. The boulder will come o visit me in a week or so… what should I do?
While I was thinking all that someone came into my room…
-Hey, Toph missed me?
It was Aang! I felt very excited but I shouldn't let him know about it… I thought.
-Hey twinkles!
Oh my God, is this everything I could come up with? Whatever…
He came near me and laid next to me on my bed…
-so? How do you fell about the whole Boulder thing?
-how should I feel about it?
-I don't know, a little different?
-I am confused… he will be here by the end of the week.
-what will you do?
-I'll just give him a chance. He is my favorite fighter after all. When did you
come back?
-yesterday. I heard about your news today and I came by.
-how was your trip?
-if you have been to a temple before, it's just a temp.
-I know what you mean. I wish I was free to leave.
-you are. You have to ask your parents first though.
-they are not my parents...
-I know. But there brought you up as you are so; whatever.
Really now; should I be insulted? A voice shouted inside my head.
I lifted my head and sat on the bed starring at him.
-what? Did I do something? He said obviously freaking out.
-no, not at all. I softened my heart to let this comment pass by.
-will you sing me a song?
-you know that I can't.
-come on Toph, I really need a song right now.
-me too. Will you sing it with me?
-give me the lyrics.
I gave him the notebook with my lyrics and took my guitar.
-ready?
I played easy chords Am, Em and C. I started singing…
There is someone
If you look inside my heart
There is someone
That can never be apart
I know you know
How I really feel.
So alone but yet
You decide to pick up the phone
Now, my father is done
And will be forever gone
His memory keeps going
In this simple song
If you see the one
After someone's come
If you see the one
I am looking for
Then come to me
And knock on my door
Now, my mother is done
And will be forever gone
Her memory will lie
In this simple song
Aang sang along now…
When I was born
I wasn't that happy at all
Since I was born
I felt so alone
Why do I always have to feel?
Why do I never get to heal?
Now, my friends are done
And will be forever gone
Their memory will keep lying
In this simple song
Now you are here
And you are waiting for me
Just tell me baby
That this is for me
And then you said something
That can't be gone
You said to me:
This simple song is for you
This was a song I wrote when I learned about my real father.
We both stopped singing. I gazed in his deep endless gray eyes (which I loved!)
-thank you very much Toph; that was a great song by the way.
-any time you want Aang.
-I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow. Yangchen should be worried.
-when will you call her mother?
-it is not that easy. When will you call the boulder your father?
-I see your point. I will shut up now.
-bye! Toph, please call me.
-ok, goodbye.
Aang left and I went to sleep because I didn't have to talk with my parents.
A week after…
I woke up and changed my cloths as soon as possible. I was running late and the school bus would be here in five minutes. I took my bag and money from the coffee table downstairs. I left my house without saying goodbye and went to the bus stop.
5 minutes after…
I have been waiting for 5 minutes and I haven't noticed some kids gathering around me. The bus came and I chose my usual seat, the one before the back door. I sat to the right side and next to the window. I always loved watching the trees and earth. Today my 'father' would visit and to be honest I was excited and; scared… my mind was so confused that I didn't notice that Aang was not sitting next to me trying to get my attention off the window.
-earth calls Toph! Where are you? Are you day-dreaming?
-hey Aang. How long are you here?
He made a gesture that meant a while, without talking.
-why didn't you call my yesterday? He asked angrily.
-I didn't feel like it, I am sorry. I said simply.
He was obviously shocked.
-Toph Bei Fong just A-P-O-L-O-G-I-Z-E-D to me? He joked.
-it must be an alien in my body! I played along. We started laughing and all students in the bus were now starring at us. We didn't care. After 15 pure minutes of laughing and joking, we arrived. We stepped out as my friends approached us. I didn't want to talk to them and Aang didn't like them.
-hey Toph! Will you come with us? It was Yue. I don't really know why she is my friend. She always liked Sokka.
-yes, we want to have a word with you. Continued Katara. She was one of my best friends and she had a crush on Zuko, a kid three years older than us and he was my friend too, not like Aang though…
-Toph, I will see you later… Aang said sadly. I could tell that he didn't want to go but he didn't like the company of my friends either.
-Aang, wait. You said that you wanted to go to the bakery. I said to him so that we could spend more time together. He got my point right away and knobbed,
Sorry girls! I'll see you later. We left and they were obviously very angry!
-why did you do that for? Aang asked confused.
-I wanted to see their expressions! I joked!
-I was funny!
We both started to laugh in remembrance of their faces. We finally made it to the bakery giggling. He ask for a pizza and he looked at me ready to say something. He was cut off by the television.
'let's change our subject to 'the Boulder' and his new daughter! The famous box fighter and kid's hero Jack Boulder said that he will visit today his biological daughter Toph which was adopted by the Bei Fong family. He has never talked to her and we will be there to tell you her reaction. Here's a photo of her today! I am Katherine Blonde and you are watching True TV.'
After that I felt awful. Everyone in the bakery stared at me. Now, everyone knew my dark secret. Aang took his pizza, hugged me to hide me or to comfort me and then left the place with quick passing. I was shocked. The bell had ringed.
-do you want us to skip the first hour? He asked with concern in his voice.
-no, but thanks. I hugged him tightly, something I don't usually do.
-I will see you at break. I will be waiting don't forget.
I went into my class and waved at him. He knobbed in response.
I didn't now what to say but I had to be strong. The news spread like a bomb in Omasu High School. Whatever would happen in this class, I should be strong.
I regretted not staying with Aang but now it was too late…
Hey guys! That's the first chapter. I hope you like it. I am working on the second. It might take me some time though…
C U soon! Love you!
