I was silent the whole time sitting on the rock. Kicking the earth beneath me.
Stupid. Im so freaken Stupid! Why did I do that to Aang? I like him so much! If I wasn't so hardheaded then I could of appreatiated his help or-
I felt some footsteps coming toward me. Aware of this I touched the earth with my hands feeling the vibrations and realized Aang was coming toward me. Since I could recognize his foot patterns.
He did care! I suddenly felt all warm inside and I thought about what I said earlier and I didn't know if he would forgive me.
I sensed him until he was right beside me. He sat on the ground and we were quiet until he broke the silence.
"Toph?"
"What do you want?" I said rudly as I turned my head the other way,
"I wanted to ask you something."
"what?" sometimes I hated the fact that I couldn't say anything but what.
"Toph, why would yo lie about knowing how to swim?"
I frowned and was about to be all Tophy and mean but, he came here so I guess I could tell him.
"Because...last time I swam, I- I- almost died and it's too hard for me." I could feel tears forming in my eyes but I managed to hold them back.
"I understand that, but how is it too hard for you?" Aang asked curiously,
"No vibrations Aang." I looked right at him. Not that I looked but I faced him. "There were no vibrations in the water."
"No vibrations?"
"No. I kinda freaked out when I felt a huge fish pass me, I just wasn't expecting it."
"If you thought that fish was big you should see the ones at kyoshi island!"
We giggled about this and I was really happy about it too so we talked some more.
"Aang, I'm sorry I yelled at you like that. It's just that having to have someone you like save you-" Toph was cut off by this sentence and blushed red,
Aang was enjoying my embarrasment but I knew he didn't mean it in a bad way
"I know what you mean. And I'm sorry for saying what I said to you. I just didn't realize it and well...just forget it."
"Okay." I said with a big smile, "Just make sure it doesn't happen again, Twinkle toes."
"Yea, I know. Just one more thing."
I started to think about what he could tell me. I thought we covered up everything. But lucky for me, we didn't.
He leaned in close to me. Then he gave me my first kiss. I kissed back since I really liked Aang. And I guess he liked me too.
When he was done, (Or should I say WE) he stood up and helped me up.
"You know I wouldn't want anything to happen to you." he said sweetly,
I was tounge tied at the moment and I felt as if my world was complete!
"Thanks, Aang." Stil thinking about the kiss.
"Now, put your clothes on," he said slightly laughing, "You'll need it since we're done with water for the day.
"Okay. Yea. Sure. Um..." I tried to think of something to talk about to go back to the camp so I did.
"Where's Sokka and Katara?" I asked Aang with a googly look in my face that I completly got off my system,
"They went to go get some food since Momo ate our lunch."
I chuckled, "Same old Momo"
"Yea..."
We walking for less than a mintue when we heard Katara and Sokka screaming.
I put my hand to the ground and felt where it was coming from.
"ITS COMING FROM OVER THERE!" I said pointing to the right of us.
Aang and I ran and were very suprised at what we saw.
