Journal-

So, I know this is girly, but I need someone to talk to and this is the best I've got right now. It's been a long time since I even picked this diary up.

My mom is away on Fire Lady business right now, and my Uncle Iroh went with her, so I'm left with my dad and Azula. I wanted to go with her, but I wasn't allowed to leave school and firebending class for that long. My dad doesn't talk to me much, anymore. I'm lonely.

Azula is such an annoying girl. She's evil. I have to hide away in my room all day or sneak around the palace just to avoid her, or else she'll pull some mean trick on me.

Today I was sitting against the big tree by the pond feeding turtleducks. Mai was sitting a few feet away writing a letter, and I didn't even talk to her. She's pretty boring, anyways. All of the sudden, Azula walks over and says that I was more girly than Mai was, feeding ducks like a little kid. She said that I was around mother too much, and shot a fireball at the mother turtleduck. Mai and I both went to protect the babies, but Azula shot another fireball but aimed it at our feet so I fell into the pond and Mai fell on top of me. I could hear Azula laughing like crazy and singing "Mai and Zuko, sitting in a pond..." like she was hilarious. I stood up and said "Eww, I would never kiss Mai." For some reason, that made Mai really angry and she pushed me over again and stomped off. She hasn't said anything to me since then, she just glares at me. I don't know what I did.

Diary-

I don't know why I bother writing in this. I guess it makes me feel a little bit better, though.

I have a girlfriend now, I guess. It's Mai. I don't remember exactly how it happened, but I know Ty Lee had something to do with it. It happened about two weeks ago or so. It was a big blur.

Now I'm supposed to sit next to her at dinner and walk her around the grounds and stuff like that. I tried to hold her hand like I've seen other couples do, but she says she doesn't like that kind of thing. She is nice though. I like her more than I thought I would. When you actually listen to her, you can tell she just sounds boring. When she talks, it's...good. I don't know how to describe it. I don't know how to describe her.

A/N: So, I had this chapter written, but then I couldn't find it, so I had to rewrite it, but I forgot what I had written, so...this isn't the best. My apologies! D: Next chapter is written(long and goooood), though! I'll post it tonight.

Okay, time frame time! The show doesn't give us a solid time reference, so I've had to make one up (based on the elements, of course). It's kind of like the Zodiac calender, where it cycles through "The Year of the 'Blank'" every so many years. In this story, it'll be Year of the Bison (air), Moon (water), Badgermole (earth), and Dragon (fire). That way it'll be easier to keep track of Zuko's age and other things.
