It was the end of the day and I was going home with Toph to help her organize her stuff because it was already a total mess. Toph's house wasn't to far, so I just rolled while she walked by the fence. We were just about to turn the corner when Toph sensed Jet's gang again. This time Toph made sure to watch out for agressive vibrations. Jet walked by and slowed down in front of us.
"Jet move out of our way!" Toph yelled, Jet turned around and said with fake innocence, "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't see you there, of course I'll move out of your way!" Then he started to back up and 'accidently' pushed me into the street, my wheelchair skidded into the road as a car crashed into it, crushing it. Jet and his gang laughed as Toph pulled me out of the road and against the fence and got into an earthbender stance and let a rock jut out of the ground and it hit Jet and his gang which were sent flying. I felt a warm liquid dribble down my scrapped chin, I wiped it off, it was blood. I just sighed.
"Thanks Toph, for getting them." I said. "No problem, they deserved it." She said. "What are we gonna do now? Your wheelchair is crushed, how are we gonna get you to my house?" Toph asked. "I don't know To-" I was interrupted by a yell across the street. "Oh man! That stupid wheelchair scratched my car!" said the guy across the street, then the most stunning creature I have ever seen stepped out of the car yelling at the guy, the girl spoke. "Oh calm down Sokka, we don't even know where it came from, it could have been a total accident!"
"But what if it wasn't! What if Zuko followed me here just to ruin my new car!" Sokka yelled. "God Katara, you never look at the possibilities!"
"Of course I do but that's so unrealistic!" Katara said. She picked up my broken wheelchair. "We have to find out who this belongs to, appoligize, and offer them a ride home if they need it." Katara looked around as Sokka, who looked like her older brother, sighed. "Fine..."
Katara asking people nearby if they knew someone who had just lost their wheelchair, no one knew, then she looked across the street and saw Toph and I. She looked both ways on the street, and crossed.
"Excuse me, but do you know who this belongs too?" She asked putting down the heap of junk that was my wheelchair. "It's mine." I answered, she looked at me and saw my chin was bleeding. "Oh I am so sorry about this! Do you need a ride home? I'll give you one if you need one." She said as her brother came across listening to the conversation. "What does he need a wheelchair for anyways? He looks perfectly fine to me." He commented. Katara shushed him looking at me apoligetically. "Well what did happen to you?" Sokka asked, Katara shushed him again. "Sokka!" She said under her breath. "It's okay," I said, "what happened was, one year ago, I got into a motorcycle accident, I flew off of it and the car ran over my legs, now I am paralyzed from the waist down..." Katara gasped and Sokka just nodded his head. "My Uncle was with me too, I probably would have died if he hadn't taken the full impact of the car, now he's dead."
I just looked down at the ground as blood dripped down my chin. Katara looked at it too, then she got out her water bottle. "Here, let me clean that up for you." She said, I thought she was going to pour it on my chin, but no, she waterbended it onto her hand and it glowed, then she put her hand on my chin, and pressed her hand there as it glowed again, as she moved her hand away, my chin was a lot better. "Whoa... your a waterbender!" I exclaimed. "Yep! Are you a bender?" she asked. Toph answered for me. "Sure is! He's the Avatar!"
"Toph!" I yelled as Sokka and Katara gasped. "So you can bend all the elements? That's so cool!" Katara explained. "It would be cool you mean, I can't bend without use of my legs, and obviously, someone didn't want me to bend, or walk." I said. "Oh, yeah, right." she said looking back at her and her brothers car. "Do you need a ride?" She asked turning around. "Do you mind?" I asked. "Of course not! Come on Sokka, we got to bring the car over here and- Oh! We never introduced ourselves! I'am Katara, and this is my brother, Sokka!" She said starting to walk towards the car slowly. "I'am Aang, and this is Toph." I said as she nodded and turned around. "You don't need to introduce me Twinkle Toes, I can introduce myself." Toph said, I just shook my head.
Once Katara and Sokka got over to this side, they got out, and helped me into the car. Then they got into the car as Toph got in on the other side. When they started driving, they asked us where we live Toph told them her adress, and I told them mine, what they didn't know, was that mine was a run-down shack between two buildings so no one would see it, how do I get the money to pay for school and food and other stuff you ask? I have a job in one of the buildings next to me that pays about 8 dollars an hour, and I work 4 hours on weekdays, and 8 hours on weekends. Not that bad at all.
They drove up to Toph's house first and dropped her off, I wasn't going to help her out today anymore. Then they went far away from my house, to a store. "What are you doing?" I asked as they got out of the car. "Getting you a wheelchair." Katara explained. "Oh no, you don't need to do that! I am perfectly fine." I replied. "No your not! How are you gonna get around?" She asked, I tried to think up of a possible answer, nothing. So I just crossed my arms and sat back in my chair. "That's what I thought." She said. She talked to Sokka for a bit outside, then came back into the car. "Sokka is getting you one while I wait here with you." she explained, I just nodded. "You really don't need to do this you know." I said. She nodded "I know, but I want to, you need one." she explained. Sokka came out with a box moments later that held a wheelchair, he put it in the back beside me and grumbled. "Stupid wheelchair, cost a lot of money." Katara just sighed. "Don't worry Sokka, you'll get that money back."
They took my to there house and offered me dinner, I refused at first, but Katara insisted, I ended up eating dinner with them and their grandmother. I was quiet most of the time, only speaking to answer questions, when they took me to go home, I thanked their grandmother and them for taking care of me, when they got to the two buildings beside my house, I told them I was staying at the apartment complex to the left of my actual house. When they left, I rolled my way into the shack with my cat Momo and my dog Appa. I got into my bed, and fell asleep, hoping tomarrow would be better.
The next day started as usual, I got up and got ready for school and wheeled my way there, when I got there, I saw Katara and Sokka. Katara waved and ran up to me. "Hey Aang! You go here?" she asked. "Yep, I' ve gone here since the crash." I answered she nodded and mouthed 'Oh...' we got inside and I showed them where to get everything they needed and where their lockers were. They got their stuff, and headed for class, Katara was in art with me so she walked by me and asked what art was like, when we got there I got to the table where I sat by myself, I expected her to go sit somewhere else, but she sat by me. I was confused. "Your sitting next to me?" I asked. "Of course, your my friend, why wouldn't I?" she said. I was stunned, she was my friend? I half expected her to say, 'it's because I feel bad about yesterday' but it never came, for the first time in a long time, I was happy. Finally, someone besides Toph was my friend, and didn't judge me because I was 'disabled' I smiled.
"Aang why are you smiling like that?" Katara asked, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Oh, I was smiling? That's weird..." I said. "What do you mean by that?" she asked. "I haven't smiled in a long time, that's all." I said. "Why?" she asked. "Is this twenty questions or something?" I asked. "No, I was just wondering why, don't people talk to you?" she asked. "Besides Toph I mean." she said. "Only to make fun of me." I said. She looked confused. "Why would people make fun of you? Your so nice!" she said. "But you gave me a chance, no one else will, they think because I am disabled I'm no fun to hang around, and they make fun of me and push me around to make themselves feel better. That's why my wheelchair scratched your car yesterday, that's why my chin was bleeding, someone pushed me into the road." I explained. Katara was furious. "Why would people do such a thing! That is so cruel! Who did that to you Aang, I am gonna give 'em a peice of my mind!" She said. "No Katara, then you'd have to talk to everyone, everyone does it." I said, she turned around to me. "Oh Aang! I am so sorry!" she said. "Don't apoligize for other peoples mistakes Katara." I said she nodded and sighed. "Guess they won't be talking to me so much then huh?" she said. "You know, cause I'm hangin out with the weird kid?" she said jokingly, I laughed, once again, for the first time in a long time. "No, I guess not." I said, then the bell rang for the next class, I was waiting for lunch to see Katara again. Classes rolled by slowly, finally the lunch bell rang.
I put my books away and got my wallet, I got more money yesterday from a box where I hold extra money, I can't afford a bank since I am paying school fees. I rolled to lunch and I had told Katara and Toph I would meet them there earlier so I was trying my best to remember what they wore today so I wouldn't have to look to hard, when Jet came by and once again, flipped me over and took my wallet, would this guy ever stop? I was waiting for him to 'thank' me but instead I heard another voice. "Why don't you leave him alone?" it was Katara, she helped me up into my chair then she stared at Jet. "What did he ever do to you, Jet?" She asked. "Oh hey, your that girl from science! You know, your really pretty." Jet said. "Don't smooth talk me! Give him his wallet back!" Katara said. "Katara you don't need to do this, I'll be fine!" I said trying to get her to stop. "Oh no you won't! Toph told me everything, your seriously gonna get hurt if you don't stick up for yourself!" I just groaned, why must she always be right?
"Aaaw how touching! I'll just leave you two alone." said Jet trying to run off. Katara pulled him back and grabbed my wallet and the twenty from Jet's hand and put it back and gave the wallet back to me. "Whoa babe, why are you even hanging out with this kid? He worthless! Why hang out with him when you can hang out with a great guy like me?" Jet said. "Because your not a great guy Jet! Your worthless! I feel bad for any girl who beleived in your tricks! Aang is so nice! That's why I hang out with him!" Katara said. "Fine then, I'll let everyone know not to hang out with you." He said trying to make Katara come with him. Katara wouldn't fall for that though.
"Fine! Go ahead! I don't care!" she said putting a hand on my shoulder. "You okay?" she asked. "I'm fine." I replied. She walked with me to lunch and I actually got into the lunchline and got some food and went to the table where Sokka and Toph were sitting with Katara behind me. I finally got to the table and Sokka looked at my plate. "What? No meat?" he asked. "Nope, I'm vegetarian." I answered. I don't know why he didn't notice at dinner, mabye he was too busy eating. He shuddered. "I feel bad for you." he said. "I'm suprised you actually have somethin to eat Twinkle Toes." Toph said. Sokka snickered. "Twinkle Toes?"
"She has called me that since the second grade because of my light footsteps, even after the accident she still calls me that." I said. Sokka laughed. "Aw shut it Snoozles." Toph said, Katara and I laughed. I was lovin my life right now, I had friends who stuck up for me and didn't judge me for my disabilities.
