"you have to come!" "ty lee's right, it's our first party this year!" Suki adds. Ugh, i don't want to go to that stupid party. "but there are gonna be so many people and you know i hate that." i try. "we know but mai pleaseeeee! Do it for me" ty lee looks at me with her puppy eyes. I sigh. "Fine. But only this time." i give in. "yayyy!" "lets go shopping! We'll find you the best outfit ever!" suki suggests. Can i please just finally pass away?

"try this on!" "omg you'll look so so so cute in this!" "this will make you look so hot!" "try this on too!" "What about this one?" "You'll look gorgeous!" ...

We finally decide on a short black dress for me, a pink outfit for ty lee and a green dress for suki.

"maybe you should go without me." i say. "are you kidding me? Look at you! You look like a goddess so you better act like it." suki hypes me up. "i don't know" i really don't want to go but i promised ty lee... "shut up and get you bag, we're leaving! Can't wait hihi!" ty lee jumps up and down. Ugh.

At the party:

We're entering the, already full of sweaty people, house and it makes me wanna throw up. There are really too many people (good thing corona isn't a thing in this world). I look around and notice that Ty lee is already talking to one of the popular guys and suki is taking me to the bar now. A little alcohol will make it better. It always does (and that's on being an alcoholic). We drink a cocktail and a few shots until suki stands up and walks to a random guy, i heard him saying that his name is sokka. He seems nice so i don't have to worry. But now i'm sitting by my self at a bar, i don't like that at all.

I spot a couch at the corner of the room and walk towards it. I can finally relax for a bit. I'll just wait here until Suki and Ty lee are either going home with the boys or want to go back to our apartment. I hate it here.

"hey" i look up and see this honestly cute guy with black messy hair and a scar covering his left eye. "hey" i say back. "can i sit there?" he asks and points at the space next to me. I just nod and he sits down. "i'm Zuko by the way, what's your name?" he asks. "Mai." i answer shortly. "You're new here, right? I've never seen you before." he really is cute af and hot ngl but i hate small talk so much so boy bye. "yea i moved here a few months ago." i explain.

"that's cool. How do you like the city so far?" i hate it. "honestly, i hate it. But i hate almost everything so that's okay." he laughs a little bit. How was that funny? "i like your vibe.. you seem like a chill person to hang out with" wow no one ever said that to me. "you don't think i'm boring and too pessimistic?" i ask. "no not really. Maybe a little uninterested but that's okay" he noticed? Oops. "I'm sorry if I seem uninterested. Truly, I ain't got no business here but since my friends are here i just came to look out for them." i explain.

"so what would you like to do? I don't like partys that much either tbh" "I would rather be at home all by myself not in this room with people who don't even care about my well being." i say. "i care about your well being, let's go somewhere else.. we could just go for a walk?" he suggests. I nod. He stands up and holds out his hand for me but i just ignore it and stand up by myself which makes him smirk.

As we walk out some people are looking at us and i see suki smirking at us, i just roll my eyes at them. The cold night air hits my skin. It feels so refreshing, finally being able to breath properly again. "feels nice doesn't it?" he asks looking at me taking a moment to breath. "yea this room was awful" i say. He agrees and starts walking. We walk through the city and it's empty streets. A few drunk people singing last Christmas (based on true events) and drinking even more.

"I was right." he says suddenly, breaking the comfortable silence between us. "what do you mean?" i ask confused. "you are really chill to hang out with." he says. I look down blushing a little bit. It's the alcohol... he looks at me and laughs a little bit. i punch his arm but can't hide the smile at my face.

Maybe going to this party wasn't a bad idea after all...

THE END
