AN~ sorry this has taken so long, sorry!
Toph's POV
I sat down in the first seat that my hand came to contact with. I felt Aang sit beside me.
"Aang, this isn't your home base." the teacher said in a high pitched voice that hurt my ears.
"But me and Toph and I need to stick together." he said. I could hear the puppy eyes in his voice.
"Well, I'm sorry you'll have to go to your home base. I might be able to pull some strings but for today you'll need to got to your correct classroom." I felt Aang get up and leave, I kept an emotionless face as he passed. I continued on with what I was doing: Sitting back in my chair, hands behind my head. After who knows how long we where dismissed from our classroom. I sat down in the first seat I felt, and I just "stared" off into space.
"Excuse me?" a boy asked. I "looked" up.
"What?" I asked a little more harshly than I intended.
"Do you know a Toph?" he asked.
"Speaking." I said with a fake smile.
"Well I'm Isaac, I'll be one of the only people in all your classes." he said sitting down next to me. It took all the self control not to go all rocky on the wall and get out of here.
"Well, I'm sure thrilled to know someone in this death trap." I said all too aware of the fact he was looking at me.
"What do you mean "death trap"?" he asked.
"The foundation is like on a mud slide. One of these days it's going to come sliding down." And I might help it. I thought. I directed my attention to the front of the classroom ware the teacher was going on and on about this being the first day of school and blah, blah, blah. And expectations blah, blah, blah. Just all that jazz. I zoned myself out. I cleared my mind and let myself fall into serenity, all out calm, not paying a lick of attention to anything and not really wanting to. I don't need book-smarts, I already know 2+2 does not equal 5 and 5*5 isn't 5000. But I also already know that I can drop-kick anything nine days to Sunday. That's all I need to know. It's all I want to know. Aang is a different story, he'll jump on the band wagon if it's going to a gay bar. He wants to know why and how things happen, poor kid. I go by my motto: Don't Need It; Don't Want To Learn 'Cause It Won't Help Me. It makes life a heck of a lot simpler.
I concentrated on feeling the heartbeat of the people around me, letting myself listen to all different kinds of drums. I listened further, out of the room. I had felt twinkle toes go into the classroom that was across the hall from mine and I felt for his magnificent heart, making every beat count, like it was his last. The time flew out the window and as we where leaving the class the teacher yelled
"Remember your seats! They'll be yours for the rest of the year!" I brushed past Aang as I went to my next class, and followed Isaac's heavy footsteps. I felt Aang follow me, we must have this class with each other. I did the same thing I did before; sit in the first seat my had touches. I felt Aang sit beside me.
"Hi Toph." Aang said as he put his books under his desk.
"Hey Aang, so how have your knowledge learning time slots been going?" I asked.
"You mean, "classes"?" he asked.
"Classes mean being able to actually move and bend, but we can't do that because we're stuck here." I said in a hushed voice. "Do you think if I push the teacher up against the blackboard and trap the students in their seats we can make it out if we run as fast as we can?"
"Toph, we're supposed to stay here." Aang said.
"Fine, but don't count on my word if you get in trouble." I said. I zoned out and let the teachers words roll off of me like water on a windshield. I was board, I was tired, I wanted to fall asleep; but there was an annoying flash of freezing air that kept hitting me!
Gee, thanks Aang. I thought bitterly. I kept my emotionless face on and let myself go into my mind, letting the time go by, and getting up and sitting down when told. And soon the day was over, and me and Aang where waiting outside for Jean to come and pick us up in one of professors many cars.
"Come on Toph, Jeans here." he said as he grabbed my hand and started pulling.
"What about your staff?" I asked Aang.
"I'll get it tomorrow." he said. We got into Jean's SUV and we started moving to a place I couldn't see.
