Love Lessons from June
Miya dragged Toph into the girl's bathroom, her two other friends following her.
"Hey! Where is the fire Miya?" Katara asked closing the door behind them. "Is everything alright?"
"No," Miya stated bluntly. "Everything is really not alright." The teenager paced back and forth with her hand on her chin. "I-I can't tell you in here…"
"Then next time don't drag people in here!" Toph yelled.
"After school we go straight to June's house. No, stopping to chat with boyfriends, we get and we go," Miya said ignoring Toph's comment. "Right now…I'm gonna go throw rocks off the roof."
"But Miya you're supposed to meet Teo?" Toph reminded her.
"I'm sorry Toph, later okay?"
Toph folded her arms and sighed. "Yeah whatever."
Miya pulled the bathroom door open and walked out. She went to the table and grabbed her bag before leaving the lunchroom without another word or any eye-contact.
Aang, Sokka and Teo were waiting at the table when the other girls came back.
"Is everything okay with Miya?" Sokka asked.
"We don't know yet, but I'll bet it has something to do with that friend of your Sokka," Yue told him with a frown.
"It's always Zuko's fault! It can never be that Miya is overacting!" Sokka yelled slamming his palms on the table. "Miya comes around with her mood swings and we all have to start cutting corners? Please, why don't you tell her to leave her attitude for her sister?"
"Well why can't you just be nice we she is upset? Is it so hard to not be a jerk Bro?" Katara came in pushing herself against the table.
"Well Katara why should we have to give all the effort and she not try?" Aang asked defending his friend.
"Don't tell me you agree with him Aang?"
"I'm just saying you girls always say we need to be more sensitive to your needs. Well what about us?"
"What about you?" Toph broke in.
"Guys have feelings too Toph!" Sokka exclaimed.
"PEOPLE, PEOPLE!" Teo yelled raising his hands. "Look why are you fighting over this? All you're doing is blaming each other when you don't even know why she's upset. Wait till you know why she's mad then point blame."
The others grumbled and sat back in their seats quietly. Teo smiled then leaned in to Toph. "So when did you say we could go out?
Toph looked at him oddly. "I didn't say we could go out?"
"I know," he said with a smirk. "I'm trying to get it out of you."
"Well what do you have in mind?" Toph asked moving closer to Teo.
Teo's grin spread and pulled out two basketball tickets. "Well I have two tickets to the Basketball Game. Omashu v.s Ba Sing Se. You wanna check it out?"
Toph's green eyes burst and she grabbed the ticket. "You are fantastic! These tickets are the hardest to find. I would love to go with you."
Teo leaned and kissed her on the cheek softly. "It'll be an honor."
The other girls and guys groaned in unison. "You make me sick."
Suddenly the bell rang for lunch to be over and the gang stood up. "Well then lets get the rest of this day over with," Yue mumbled and went to class.
Ō
The last bell of the day rung and the Skirtless girls practically ran out of school and into the streets. Miya was in the lead, speeding off to June's house like a mad woman.
Katara groaned trying to carry her book bag. "God! Does she have to run so fast?"
"Well she said it was an emergency," Toph defended. "Besides we are almost there."
Sure enough Miya had stopped in front of June's house tapping her foot impatiently. "Come on! What's taking you so long?"
"Hey no one said run like a…"
"GET OUT!" yelled a voice from inside the house. Miya jumped back as the door flew open and an angry June was throwing bags on the front lawn. A jerry-curled man, in boxers ran out terrified. "THAT'S RIGHT YOU GET OUT YOU OILY BASTARD! THE JERRY-CURL IS OVA!!"
The black clad woman took a deep breath and saw the four shocked girls on her door step. "Look it's the Spice Girls," she said with a smile. "What's cracking loves?"
"Relationship emergency," Miya told her. "Although it looks like you have just dealt with your own."
June waved her hands at them and pulled them in. "Don't worry about him, sometimes you got to let some men go."
The Skirtless walked into June's house. It was very erotic with black and red velvet walls and curtains. They walked over to the black couch and June took her seat in the matching chair.
"Alright love what's the damage?"
"Okay," Miya started. "It's about my boyfriend Zuko. You see my old friend Jin came to school today, mind you I haven't seen her in about five years, she was pregnant and she says Zuko was the father…"
"GET OUT!"
"YOU'RE JOKING!"
"WAIT…ZUKO GOT LAID?"
"Let her finish," June said silencing the other girls' screams. "Go ahead love."
"Anyway, so she comes and tells me that she gave birth prematurely because of Zuko's denial of the child. Her son died the night after she had him."
"How Zuko do something so terrible?" Katara asked shaking her head.
"That's the thing, Katara, I don't believe her. It just seemed to perfect, right when she tells me Zuko comes up behind me. I can't believe he is possible of all of that."
"You shouldn't," June said. "Girls are deceitful creatures they will turn on their friends if revenge is their goal. Let your man tell you his side of the story."
Miya sighed and put her face in her hands. "This is so frustrating. I meet a nice guy, a guy who I can picture myself having a future with and…"
"STOP!" June yelled putting her hand up. "Stop right there."
"What's wrong with you?" Toph asked.
"No, Hun, the problem is you girls. Why do you all have this Little Mermaid Syndrome?"
"What's Little Mermaid Syndrome?" Yue asked.
"Little Mermaid Syndrome is when teenage girls fall in love with a guy who she's known for two seconds," June closed her eyes and cleared her throat. She was about to enlighten these young girls. "This is what you young girls must realize the most meaningful relationships most of you will ever have will be after your 18. Why? Because every great guy you meet from 8-17 will either be too old, gay, his family will be bonkers, you'll be living in drama, or you will fall under Little Mermaid Syndrome.
"When you meet a guy, just because he looks good and has a job and says he likes doesn't mean your gonna to be together for life. Grow up! No 14 year old boy wants to be tied down to commitment. He wants to get laid and move on."
"That's not all guys," Katara claimed. "Sometimes you find the one young. I know Aang and I can make it together."
"Really?" June asked folding her legs. "How old is he?"
"14."
"Alright you have been together for a few weeks so far. Now you can't get married until your 18 that's 4 years. Then you need to finish college which will roughly at 22. 8 years, then getting a stable job. Let's say in 10 years you have all you need to get married, you really think in those ten years you won't have moved on. He couldn't have found someone else, or you two could have realized you're not for each other?"
"But…"
"Don't try and turn a 3 month relationship into a lifelong partnership. Three months is a sneeze. People don't fall in love and become perfect for each other in three days. Don't get into that whole 'he's my husband, I'm his wifey' idea. If you don't have a ring you're not married."
"You're wrong," Katara declared. "I know I love Aang!"
"Don't get riled up sweetie. I'm just telling you live your relationship in the now. Don't try and rush and make a relationship a marriage. You're only gonna scare him off."
Miya frowned and tugged at her earring. "Yeah by the time a man is ready to commit we have given up on them."
June rolled her eyes. "Oh cut the melodrama. You're only disappointed because you turned nothing into something. There are men who want to commit…just not at 14."
"Commitment, sha-mitment I don't care!' Toph declared. "I am perfectly happy with going out on dates and having fun. As for you Miya no matter what you choose we are behind you one hundred percent of the way."
Miya yawned and gave a stretch. "Well this day has been a big emotional crap-fest. I'll call Zuko tonight and get his side of the story." She stood up and turned to June. "Thanks for the little speech June, I'll be over Saturday to dye my hair. I want it to look like the lead singer of Paramore."
"Will do love," she said kissing Miya and the other girls on the cheek. "Take care Spice Girls and remember, live for now!"
"Yes, June," they echoed exiting the building.
"Do you think she's right about me and Aang?" Katara asked timidly. "I mean 10 years is a long time."
"Katara if you wanna make it work, it will. Remember what June said, 'live in the now' thinking about this will only make you crazy," Yue told her as they walked down the street.
"Well it's about time you guys came out."
"Yeah we've been, like, waiting forever."
There stood Azula, Ty Lee and Mai, The Populars. Miya dropped her bag as if she was ready to fight. "Populars," she hissed.
"Skirtless," Mai hissed back.
"Now, now," Azula said holding Mai back. "We didn't come here too fight. We came here to chat."
A/N: Looks like its time for a group chat. Will The Populars and The Skirtles team up? Maybe?
