Chapter 10
I don't know how long we kissed, but It must have been pretty long because when we stopped kissing the sun was already starting to go down.
We unwrapped our hands from each other and stepped away. It was a really awkward moment. "Um, I'm sorry." Aang said. "No, I-it's okay." I said. "Uh, do you want me to walk you back to your house?" Aang asked. As much as I wanted to say yes, I said no. "Sorry, but, I don't think that's such a good idea." Aang blushed. 'Um, yeah...ok."
I stuck out my hand to him. "Uh, I'll see you tomorrow." He shook my hand and smiled awkwardly. "Okay...bye." he said. We started walking away from each other, to our houses. But then I said, "Aang, wait!" He ran back up to me. "Yes"
I gave him a quick hug, and then ran off to my house.
When I got to my house, Sokka and my father were at the dinner table eating dinner. They looked up to me and frowned. "Where have you been?" My father asked. I walked slowly to the table and sat down. "Um, Aang and I went for a little walk." I answered.
He didn't seem pleased. "You were gone for over two hours! 'Little walks' don't take that long!" My body shivered. "I-I'm sorry! I didn't, I don't," "What did you guys do during that 'little walk'?" He yelled, interrupting me.
Tears ran down my eyes. My father had never yelled at me before. "Dad, we just walked and talked... and kissed..." I said quietly. He saw that I as crying and sighed. "Katara, It's okay. I'm sorry I got angry about it. You're in a relationship, and I shouldn't mess it up." He said.
I ran over to him and gave him a hug. He hugged me back. "Ew! Father daughter moment! Yuck," Sokka said. "See, dad and I don't have 'moments' cause were too manly!" My dad and I stared over at him and smiled. "Oh, what am I kidding! I love you guys!" He said, running over to us and joining our hug.
After we finished our little "Family Hug," we ate dinner. "So, Katara and Sokka, there is going to be a camp out at school in a few days. Are you guys going to it?" Our father asked.
We both nodded our heads and said "Yes!" at the same time. "How long will it be?" My father asked, again. "Five days and four nights. There will be Girl cabins and Boy cabins, a mess hall, a lake, a forest- can we go PLEASE???" Sokka pleaded. My father nodded his head. "It's fine with me, but if one of you gets homesick, I'll take you back home."
"This camping trip will be SO fun!" I said. Sokka agreed. "I know!" He said. After dinner, my father went into his office, my brother went to his room, and I went to my room. I thought about all that was happening to me.
The camping trip.
Aang.
Charm.
I held my breath. "Charm!" I said out loud. I had forgotten about Charm and what Merry had said. "Do...not...dream!" It gave me a shiver up my spine. How come I couldn't dream? It didn't make any sense, and how was I supposed to not dream?
I yawned. "Time to go to bed!" I said out loud. After I had gotten into my night clothes, brushed my teeth, and got under my covers, I closed my eyes.
Do not dream...
Do not dream...
Do not...
dream...
