AN: just so we're clear, Toph can see!

First Day (part 2)

The gym was almost empty when Toph stepped in. she glanced around a moment before she heard a familiar voice.

"Toph!" Aang exclaimed and wrapped his arms around her. Toph could sense the anxiety in Aang. "You weren't on the bus, I thought you wouldn't be here," Aang said. Toph smiled and patted him on the back.

"And miss school. Hell no," Toph said sarcastically. Aang smiled as they walked to a bench place in the middle of the gym. "I heard Mr. Chong was tough," Toph stated. Aang nodded. They were both very tired and nervous. "So we have three classes together," Toph declared. Aang nodded again and was no way involved with the conversation at this point in time. I loud bell rang through the school. Moments later a large group of kids walked and sat near Toph and Aang. They didn't really know anyone else in the class other than themselves but they didn't seem to mind.

"Morning students. I will be your gym teacher for this semester, so you better grow to like me because I know I'm not going to like you," Those were the first words that came out of a large man's mouth. "Before we get started I have to give you guys your lockers. Pick a buddy because you have to share," Mr. Chong stated loudly. Instantly aang linked arms with Toph.

"Who said I wanted to be your partner?" Toph asked opposingly but yet in a sarcastic tone. She pulled her arm away from him but he grabbed it again.

"Please Toph, I don't want my locker smelling like axe all year," he whined. Toph laughed slightly at his remark than nodded her head. Aang silently cheered and with Toph linked to his arm went up to get the lock and the locker number.

"Six dollars for the lock," Mr. Chong stated before he or Toph had said anything.

"What? But I don't have any money," Aang whined as he patted his pockets. Toph rolled her eyes and grabbed a ten dollar bill out of her pocket. Mr. Chong gave her the lock, a paper with the locker number and combination and four dollars back in change.

"You owe me three bucks," Toph grumbled and sat back down. Aang slouched and put a whiny face on. "I think you night have problems," Toph stated. "You should go see a doctor. Even I feel a bit concerned about your bitchiness,"


Aang and Toph were now in their math class after getting lost on the second floor. Aang squinted his eyes looking at the equations hoping that would help him understand them better. He finally gave up and looked over a Toph who sat beside him whizzing through the questions.

"Hey Toph, you're Asian right?" Aang inquired. Toph stopped herself from writing and looked up at Aang confused. She nodded slightly. "Can you help me with these equations?" he asked.

"What!? That's like asking a Mexican to break into your car!" Toph exclaimed, but once the words came out of her mouth everything fell silent. Everybody started to stare at her awkwardly. She sunk down into her chair and rested her face on her desk, which was red.

"Gee stop being so racist, you rich Nazi child!" Aang said after the noise came back just to annoy Toph. She turned to him and glared at him with angry eyes. He winced a bit and turned back to his work for a moment. "That's what you get for being rich, German and Japanese," Aang stated smugly. Toph laughed sarcastically than pushed him out of his chair.


The cafeteria was booming with the loud voices of feisty teenagers. Aang nervously looked around the place in hopes of finding his friends. He saw Katara wave to him and he felt relaxed. Sokka walked up behind him and patted him on the back.

"How was gym class?" Sokka asked with a hint of laughter in his voice.

"There were so many balls! All of them were coming at me! Toph, why did you betray me!?" Aang yelled panicky and started to sift around nervously. Sokka started to laugh harder than he already was. Toph was suddenly beside Aang and started to laugh with Sokka.

"You should have seen his face when I whipped the ball at him! I think he started to cry!" Toph laughed and punched Aang's shoulder. He stumbled a bit by the impact and than started to rub his shoulder. "Let's see what I have for lunch," Toph said as she swung her back pack in front of her. She reached in and grabbed a brown paper bag out of it. She pulled out a twenty dollar bill and a note. "Toph, too busy today thanks to your father. I hope this will compensate for it. Love Elizabeth," Toph read out loud.

"Ha not even your nanny likes you," Sokka laughed. Toph shrugged and swung he back pack to her back. She held the twenty dollars firmly in her hand and grinned.

"Isn't there a pizza place down the street? I'm gonna buy a whole pizza and split it with you guys, except for Sokka 'cause he's a dick," Toph said. Katara and Aang cheered and followed Toph out of the cafeteria.

"Wait Toph! I was only joking!" Sokka shouted down the hallway and sprinted after them.


Aang leaned into Toph as they sat through a lecture spoken in French.

"Why do we have to take french? I can barely to English good," Aang whined. Toph was resting her head on her desk as she tried to catch up on some sleep but she had caught Aang's grammatical error.

"You mean you can't do English well," Toph corrected him. Aang rolled his eyes and than slouched down resting part of his body on Toph.

"Je suis un couchon," Aang mumbled as he started to doze off. Toph started to laugh. 'What?"

"You just said you're a pig," Toph laughed.


Aang sat at the front of his bus nervously tapping his feet as he waited for Toph. He saw her walk slowly through the parking lot looking at the numbers on the bus. Her eyes fell on Aang and she smiled. She walked up the steps of the bus and sat beside Aang.

"So how was strings class?" Toph asked starting a conversation.

"I will never be able to read notes," he sighed. "What the hell is a treble clef?" he whined. Toph started to laugh.

"Reading notes isn't that hard, all you need is practice. If you need any help just ask me," Toph said reassuring him. Aang hugged her for a moment but she pushed him away. She slipped on her headphones before Aang could get another word in. he didn't mind that and he sat there beside his friend as the bus drove away from school.
