Dancing Fire
The air was filled with the scent of food from all four nations. Soara was already sitting at a table. She had bought her food at the cafeteria. She was all alone. I started to sit on the opposite side of the table.
"What do you want Kara?" She didn't even look up, but somehow she knew it was me.
"How did you do that?" I asked oblivious to the fact that she was blind.
"Well since I'm blind I don't see with my eyes, I see with earthbending. I scenes the vibrations in the ground and I can tell where everything is. I already know your footstep so I knew it was you."
"Oh," I muttered. I took two paper bags out of my bag. One was for me and the other was for Iggy.
"That's amazing!" I jumped back and dropped the bags by the sound of the booming voice. Iggy was behind me. "I never knew that earthbending could be that useful!"
"Well at least someone thinks it's amazing." She commented on my reaction. Gyo walked up with a plate full of food. He sat beside Soara.
"I don't think we properly met. I'm Gyo." He extended his arm towards me. I was tired of shaking peoples hand but I still shook his hand.
"I'm Kara," I said with a smile. Iggy was still standing, impatiently moving back and forth like a little child. "Iggy eat your food." I commanded my cousin.
"Not right now," He replied. He ran towards a crowd of people and disappeared using them as a cover.
"I thought his nickname was Sparky?" Gyo said confused.
"No Sparky's my thing, you can't use it." Soara said.
"And Iggy's my thing," I told Gyo.
"So I have to call him Ignite?" Gyo said sounding left out.
"Yes," Soara stated plainly with no emotion. The two started to eat. I sat there uneasily not quite fitting in the group.
"So Soara, I need to get more food for our dorm so I can make breakfasts, lunches and diners."
"Yah so?" She bit into an apple.
"Well I have no money right now, and I was wondering if you could come with me." She rolled her eyes as I spoke.
"Fine Sugar Queen, we'll go into town after school."
"Great! Wait, where's Iggy?"
"He's over there doing a little dance." Soara was pointing to a crowd of people. They circled around Iggy. He had taken his Earth Kingdom top off to reveal his black under shirt. He wasn't dancing. He was firebending.
I pushed people aside to get a better view of my cousin firebending. He did a back flip as blue fir flew out of his foot. He landed and smoke rose from the earth. Girls started to cheer. I rolled my eyes. I watched him carefully. He was concentrated on the fire and the form, making sure he didn't burn anyone too close. As he moved his arms and legs. As he jumped in the air and spun on the ground, he looked like he was dancing. He was dancing with the fire.
Every time he did a move the people of the Earth Kingdom cheered as if they had never seen a firebender before. Over the cheers I heard commotion near the tables. My history teacher and Mrs. Hata were walking towards the crowd of people circling around Iggy. They all quickly scattered out of Mrs. Hata's way. Iggy had his back towards them.
Mrs. Hata grabbed his collar. She turned him around and lifted him up to her eye level. His feet were floating off of the ground. Fear filled his face as he stared into Mrs. Hata's eyes.
"Stop this ominous firebending!" She demanded. Her voice silenced the entire Earth Kingdom sector.
"What do you mean ominous firebending?" Iggy asked confused with what was going on.
"Azula's symbol was blue fire. She brought fear and evil during the 'Burning War'. She is the reason Ba Sing Se fell two hundred years ago. She also started the rebellion to try and create a new war. You're firebending is a symbol of her darkness." The teacher stated with anger in her voice.
"But that's not fair!" Iggy whined even though he was in no position to.
"Stop firebending!" The history teacher said and walked away. Mrs. Hata released Iggy. She went down to his eye level now.
"Mr. Ignite, I like you. If you must firebend you can do it in the Fire Nation sector after school." Iggy nodded. Mrs. Hata walked away. Gyo and Soara looked away from the scene. Iggy looked at me. I shrugged having no idea what just happened.
We all started to eat again.
AN: Mrs. Hata is just like my principal. When ever she walks down the hall everyone stops talking and starts fixing their uniform. (My school has uniforms.)
