Ok, so here is the second chapter. I'm sorry for any typos, I havn't figured out how to request a Beta Reader. (lol) See if you can figure out a few of the 3 reasons I titled it "Going Out" Ha Ha So enjoy!

School was actually kinda fun. I had heard so much about how bad the homework was in junior year but I was fine. Of course it was only the first day, but still…

Symphonic Band was first period. I was pleasantly surprised to find that many of my friends played an instrument.

After fitting the reed to the mouthpiece, I looked for my seat assignment, which was next to Sokka's sister Katara, a clarinetist, and two seats down from Tai-lee who played the oboe. Mai sat on the aisle on the left side of the room toting her trombone. The girl Toph pushed through the throng to claim one of the old beat-up snares in the back of the room.

Our teacher, Mr. Iroh, looked like a hippie. His long hair and unruly beard flew all over the place as he conducted with gusto hard to follow.

I went to math, P.E., History, and when I finally got to Art 5th period I wasn't sure I would make it through the day. Over the summer I had gotten lax and that second time up the stairs had killed me. Mr. Chong insisted in having us all line up alphabetically by middle name and seated us as such. I ended up at the same table as Katara and we bonded over my horrible picture of Zuko and Sokka.

When she couldn't figure out what it was, so I told her it was a punching bag and we tore it up and threw out the tiny pieces.

When the final bell rang, we walked out to lunch. The cafeteria was crowed, buzzing with the voices of hundreds of teenagers. Katara plopped me down by a window next to Toph.

I stared out the window pondering what I had seen so far, and blinked out of my daze when I realized that there were people eating outside on the front steps.

Closer inspection proved them to be Zuko, Mai, Tai-lee, Azula, and Sokka. Tai-lee glanced in my direction and motioned for me to come eat with them.

"Could I go sit with them?" I asked Katara who was neatly cutting her chicken into perfectly square pieces. She looked up startled.

"You want to sit with my brother?" When I blushed and nodded she rolled her eyes. "But he's a complete idiot!"

"He's not that bad," I protested. "And that's not the point. Are they allowed to sit out there?" Toph raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, they're not allowed, but the teachers all pretend they don't sit there."

"Well I'm going to check it out," I amended. "Plus, I think Tai-lee wanted something." I quickly scampered off before the girls could say something else that would make me want to crawl under a rock and die.

I dodged a pack of seniors who were dumping their water bottles on each other and nearly ran into the tall girl June.

"Hey! Watch where you're running retard!" she yelled at me, her long black pony tail whipping around as she spun to face me.

"Sorry!" I squeaked, and quickly dashed out of the potential disaster.

When I finally reached the front door, my hair was soaked. Azula started laughing at me when she saw me and Tai-lee was giggling so hard she began to hiccup.

"Stupid seniors…" I mumbled. Sokka kindly offered me his gym towel and I kindly declined to wipe off my wet hair with his sweaty rag.

Zuko (shirtless) was stretched across the fourth step listening to his iPod Nano and Mai (who had her shirt on) sat a few steps below fiddling with his hair. Since when had they been together? Sokka was sitting on his backpack texting. It was like a scene from a movie.

"Hey Suki come here," Sokka gestured patting the step next to him. "I have to show you something."

I froze for a moment in shock then slowly made my way over to him gently plopping down beside him. The little droplets of sweat on his forehead glinted in the noon light.

"What's your number?" I told him and he punched it into his phonebook. I smiled as he snapped a pic.

I watched as Sokka went to the saved drafts folder. He opened one labeled 'to Suki'.

Would u like 2 go out 2nite Suki? It read. Then he pressed send. My phone went off.

I'm not gonna write you a love song

'cause you asked for it

'cause u need one

you see-

I scrambled for my gold razor and opened it.

Would u like 2 go out 2nite Suki?

I looked up at his tanned face and was enraptured by his boyish expression of hope. I shook my head.

"Sure! Of course!" I replied eagerly- perhaps too eagerly because Azula had started laughing again. I bit my lip and blushed.

"Shut up Azula, you sound like a dying duck," Zuko moaned. Tai-lee sat up.

"Hey! Speaking of ducks, the other day at the park there was this duck and it was totally messed up and-" We all groaned, but once Tai-lee got started you couldn't stop her. Mai and I exchanged a glance.

I stood up to get my bag and tripped over Azula's red tote falling flat on my back.

"Oooof!" My butt landed where I had just been sitting and when I attempted to slap out like I was taught in Karate, I hit Zuko on the head and my shoulders landed on Sokka's right knee.

"OMG! I'm so sorry Zuko." Zuko just shrugged and went turned up his iPod. Azula was scrambling around trying to pick up all her binders which I had managed to kick all over in my crazy attempt to catch myself.

I looked up at Sokka who just laughed. When I attempted to get up he put a hand on my shoulder.

"You can stay like that if you want. You must be exhausted by now." I smiled gratefully at him. He made a good pillow.

"and it flew over to this little kid who was really cute and was wearing this pink shirt which made me think he was a girl but I found out that-" Tai-lee rambled on completely oblivious to the drama around her.

"So I'll stop by your house at five?" Sokka asked. I gave him a funny look.

"Do you even know where I live?" I smirked. Sokka looked startled.

"Oh." he stated. "I guess not." I laughed and told him. He wrote the address down on the back of his hand in green sharpie.

Then I realized that if I had been able to see Tai-lee and Co. from the cafeteria then people eating inside could see us. I looked through the tall window.

Two tables to the left of the crammed table where June and her friends were sitting Toph and Katara were glaring at me. Toph's pale eyes continued to scream bloody murder at me as Katara pulled out her LG Flip phone. Her murderous stare fixed on the small piece of plastic and metal.

I'm not gonna write you a love song-

Why the hell are you laying on my brother's lap?

So what do you think? Please Rate and Review! Oh and where should Sokka take Suki? And should it be a double date or just them? Please review!
