Aldo was surprised at how fast Saturday rolled around, and the last way he wanted to spend it was with overly emotional teens going through puberty and talking about the hardships of their life, but despite all this he dragged himself down to the office anyway setting up for the mornings classes session.
After neatly organizing his files for this round of students, he sat down in his gray swivel chair waiting for the patients to arrive. Aldo watched the clock tick, he typed away on his computer working as the time ticked by. Where were those troublesome children? They were supposed to be 15 minutes into their lesson by now. After another 15 minutes ticked by he finally heard some commotion at the front door, and he quickly adjusted he name plate folding his hand over the cold desktop and waiting for the late teens to arrive.
"Shut up Sokka! You have know room to talk!" He heard a girlish voice shriek, as a male laughed.
"I'm just saying of all the boys in our school him? And why did it take Toph to tell me? Hm? Not even brave enough to tell your own brother?" A soft slapped was heard as both of the siblings came bustling in through the doorway, Sokka rubbing his arm and Katara snickering.
"You're late, you know?" Aldo said as the teens looked at him like seeing him for the first time.
"Well technically, the sessions can't start without us, so they start when we get here." Sokka announced holding his hands in the air. No you idiot, people pay for these things and they start when I say they do. Aldo minds screamed at him, but his heart told him not to day it to the boy. He slowly got up, the wheels on his swivel chair scratching against the floor.
"You wouldn't happen to know where on earth everyone else is would you?" He asked crossing his arms and leaning back on his desk.
"Well of course, I mean they're all probably at the school football game, it was a make up game so the coach just pushed it to a Saturday, Jet and Zuko play on the team." Sokka said as Katara slapped her head in the background.
"How do you know so much?" Aldo asked, was this boy like a stalker or something, he had a funny feeling they all had more problem then one now.
"Know we all go to the same school." Katara said finding a seat in the circle of blue chairs.
"You all know each other!" He screamed.
"Well I mean, I know Toph and Aang, and I would love to know Jet better, but as for Zuko and Azula, I know of them." Katara said looking at him skeptically as Sokka clapped his hands.
"Same!" he added, grinning idiotically.
"Then why on earth would you make me go through all those dreadful, never mind, just tell me all you know about your friends because it seems that they're not showing up anytime soon." Aldo took a seat across from Katara in the circle, as Sokka just stood, his black shoes dirtying up the white tile.
"Well Toph's a good student she never got along with her parents, she even filed an emancipation once." Katara paused taking in Aldo's shocked expression. "But it didn't file through, now she just lives with them but no, like, with them, you know what I'm saying." She finish, Aldo nodding motioning for her to continue on.
"Then there's Aang, he's a good kid, his parents aren't with him though, I think his mom died in childbirth or something," She looked over in the corner of the room trying to gather her thoughts "Yeah, he's like a saint or something though, he's saved lives before." Aldo raised his eyebrows at Katara gestures.
"And Jet, he's, he's a little bottled up, from what I heard the mafia or some gang killed his parents, he's really into like redemption now thought ever since the accident." Katara, looked down sadly at the floor, Aldo would normally push her to go on, but he was getting enough information already.
"then Zuko, he has a scar, as you probably already noticed, he got that in a fire when he was little he doesn't really like to talk about it, he seems all tough but he really is super sensitive." She continued on like it was nothing, telling her friends life stories.
"Oh and Azula, she's, she's a different one, I don't think she's ever had a direct conversation with me. I'm kinda like the underdog to her or something, but yeah from what I've heard she's really uptight about her past, god knows why." She finished, just in time too, the front door jiggled again and Aldo got up waiting to greet his next guest.
Alright this is just a small little thing to hold you over because I haven't updated in a while so here ya go, I'll probably do another chapter soon but what can I say, you never know right?
