Chapter 2
Zuko POV
"GAH!"
I through a fireball at my wall. It is a good thing these walls are fireproofed. How can she hate everything! She hates the color orange, she hates ice cream, she hates sea shells, she hates everything! I can't take it!
I through another fireball at my wall and a picture fell over. It was of me and Mai. It made me think about all the great times we've had together. Oh God.
"What have I done?"
I left my room to go find Mai. As I left I ran into Ty Lee.
"What are you doing here?"
"Coming to talk to you. Mai is really upset."
"I know. I was just going to go talk to her."
"Don't, at least, not right now. She just went home, give her time. She'll probably be back tomorrow to talk this through."
"Gah! I'm such an idiot."
"Yeah, you are."
"Hey!"
"What? You said it. You screamed at the only girl you've known who can look past the scar, the rough exterior, and the short temper and love you for who you really are! She told me you firebended at her! What's wrong with you?!"
I dropped to the ground.
"I don't know. God, I'm so stupid!"
"Yeah! You really are! Zuko, you have a habit of pushing away the people who care about you. You need to calm down every once in a while!"
"Y'know, you're not really making me feel any better."
"I don't care. I'm not on your side; I'm on Mai's. You should feel bad about this, but you should also realize that you will never find a girl like Mai and if you keep losing your temper you'll lose her, for good."
I looked at the ground.
"You're right."
She flipped her braid over her shoulder.
"I know."
"Thank you, Ty Lee. I needed someone to put me in my place."
She grabbed my hand and pulled me up.
"Anytime. What're friends for?"
"I'll give Mai the night, then I'll go talk to her."
"Ok. Goodnight, Zuko."
"Goodnight, Ty Lee. And thank you."
"You're welcome."
