Author's Note: Hey all! I thought I should let you all know something about this AU: they can all still bend, and Toph's still blind. She still sees with her feet.
Thanks to wicked thru and thru, Spirit's Fire, kasplosion, avatarang, and MooneShadow for reviewing!

Back home, Toph signed on to her Instant Messaging account. She started IMing Suki, with her computer spitting back what Suki typed.

The next day at school, Suki met Toph by her locker. "Hey Toph, is Katara coming?"
"No, she's at her locker."
"K, good. We're still on for lunch, right?"
"Yup. I think I'll check out the guys in our classes, too."
"Awesome-see ya later."
"So, Katara, who's the mystery boy?" Toph asked during lunch. She was getting tired of hearing her shoot down invitations. She didn't like any of these guys, or any of the boys in their few classes together! All of a sudden, Katara's head perked up. Suki noticed this and followed her gaze.
Her heart rate's speeding up! This is him! Toph thought to herself, letting Suki figure out who it was.
Katara sighed. "Him."
"The new boy Aang?" Suki asked. Katara nodded silently. "When did you meet him?" she continued to interrogate Katara, carefully noting Toph's scheming face.
"We have history together."
"And you've been crushing on him since..."
"Umm...his second day," Katara admitted sheepishly. Suki almost yelled in surprise, but she noticed their location.
"We are so going into every detail later," Suki whisper-yelled.
"Fine," Katara conceded. She had known this would happen, which was why she had kept it secret for over a month. She was hoping that either he would ask her to the dance, or she would get over him. However, she was still crushing on him, and he hadn't asked her to the dance, so she would just be going with Haru again. She glanced at Toph, who was trying to keep a smirk off her face.
"Are you plotting something?" Toph was known to be an expert at plotting.
"Would I tell you either way?" Toph flashed her most innocent grin.
"What do you know that I don't?" Katara accused.
"Nothing," Toph got up and turned to walk away, but she couldn't resist telling Katara what she had found out. Without turning back around, she informed the girls, "he just likes you back."
