Seriously, this is going to be hard to understand. This is a duet from the musical Wicked. Now you've probably heard it: What is This Feeling? That's the song, in this version Galinda is Suki and Toph is Elphaba. The students are well… students. Also the setting has changed completely, everyone has been sent to a private academy because their old school burned down. Suki and Toph end up bunked together and aren't exactly on the best of terms. And I kinda changed the format; I know it's not that great but I wanted to see how it works. Don't expect more like this.
What is This Feeling?
Age 10
The two girls were sitting at opposite ends of the room. Both were writing a letter, one with a clean uniform was writing it out by hand, her pencil scribbling while she whispered the words, "Dearest darlingest Momsie and Popsical…" to herself.
The other girl was typing it out on a computer, her fingers running over the Braille keyboard, murmuring the start, "My dear Father…"
Their voices rose as one as they competed being heard over the other. The handwritten girl was continuing her letter while the blind girl was typing, "There's been some confusion over rooming here at the Academy."
"But of course, I'll care for myself." the blind girl assured her family.
"But of course, I'll rise above it!"
Their hands flew over the paper and plastic as they both wrote, " For I know that's how you'd want me to respond. Yes. There's been some confusion. For you see, my roommate is."
A pause. Suki turned in her seat. Toph's hair was messy and her brand new uniform was already rumbled and untucked. She turned back to her letter. "Unusually and exceedingly peculiar. And altogether quite impossible to describe."
Toph used the one word she had heard Sokka use to describe Suki. "Brunette."
Suki stood up, folding her letter and sealing it in an envelope. "What is this feeling? So sudden and new?" She asked herself.
"I felt it the moment I laid eyes on you." Toph responded, emailing her letter.
"My pulse is rushing." Suki took a step towards the door.
"My head is reeling." Toph mimicked the step. Suki glared at her, taking another step towards the door.
"My face is flushing." Soon they were rushing for the door, pushing eachother.
"What is this feeling? Fervid as a flame. Does it have a name? Yes!" Suki and Toph squzeed through the door. Now racing down the hallway, trying to reach the target first. People jumped out of the way as they stampeaded down the stairs. "Loathing! Unadulterated loathing!"
They reached the grounds. Suki went left, Toph went right both grumbling under their breath.
"For your face."
"Your voice."
"Your clothing."
"Let's just say - I loathe it all. Every little trait, however small, makes my very flesh begin to crawl. With simple utter loathing. There's a strange exhilaration in such total detestation!" Toph found her small group of friends. Katara, Aang and Zuko while Suki made her way to the popular crowd.
The fighting stopped for a moment. Until trouble came knocking. Sokka wandered through a door, talking with Teo and at the same time Suki and Toph noticed him. They started the talking again, raising their voices just loud enough so the other could hear. "It's so pure and strong! Though I do admit it came on fast, still I do believe that it can last. And I will be loathing, loathing you, my whole life long!"
Suki's friends put comforting hands on her back as Sokka walked towards Toph. "Dear Suki, you are just too good! How do you stand it? I don't think I could! She's a terror! She's a Tartar! We don't mean to show a bias, but Suki, you're a martyr!"
Suki smiles bravely, as if she's living with a rabid tiger. "Well: these things are sent to try us!"
"Poor Suki, forced to reside, with someone so disgusticified! We all just want to tell you," The students glare at Toph. "We're all on your side! We share your…"
Sokk stopped walking towards Toph but kneeled in the middle of the yard. Toph and Suki went for him, the student chanting after Suki while Toph's friends merely stared. "What is this feeling?So sudden and new? I felt the moment I laid eyes on you. My pulse is rushing. My head is reeling. Oh, what is this feeling? Does it have a name? Yes!" Sokka stood up to find a short blind girl on his left and a tall brunette on his right. "Loathing!"
"Though I do admit it came on fast. Still I do believe that it can last." Suki took Sokka by the arm. Dragging him towards her friends. "And I will be loathing. Loathing. For forever loathing. Loathing. Truly deeply loathing Loathing you my whole life long! Unadulterated loathing!"
Toph walked by Sokka, and taking a huge step forward pushed Suki to the ground. "Boo!" Toph smirked before leading Sokka towards his real friends.
A/N so ridiculously raaaaannnnnnnnndoooooom Don't worry, next week we'll be back to normal format!
