Chapter 3: "Toph vs. Mai"

Toph hurried down the hall while Zuko walked confidently. When Toph's already at the room, she stops by the door.

"Toph! Where have you been?" Katara asked.

"Somewhere" Toph walks slowly inside.

Mai suddenly stand in front of Toph which made her stop walking.

"Where's Zuko?" She asked with a cracky annoying voice.

"I don't know. Who cares?" Toph walks toward her sit & sat with crossed arms.

Mai turn around & faced her. "I do."

"There he is" Toph points Zuko "At the door"

Mai looked at him & blushed.

"What?" Zuko angrily asked.

"Nothing" Mai walked to her sit.

Zuko rolled his eyes & sat on his sit. He couldn't help but look at Toph again.

"So, Zuko, where'd you go?" Aang asked.

"None of your business" He replied.

"Who's the next teacher?" Toph questioned Katara.

"Ms. Kyoshi. Oh, we have to wait for her just for awhile" Katara answered.

"Why?"

"She's always late."


While the class waited for Ms. Kyoshi…

Toph got nothing to do, so she just whistle & whistle the whole time, until Mai get so annoyed.

"Will you stop what you're doing!!?" Mai yelled

"I hate your voice" Toph frankly said.

"You're brutally frank, you know that?" Mai said.

"Yes I know, & I love being one."

Mai turn around & groaned.

Zuko tries not to laugh.

"Go ahead & laugh" Toph laugh

Zuko was shocked. He didn't expect that from Toph. Instead, he just chuckled.

Toph smiled. Zuko just stared at her smile which made him grin.

"It's the first time I ever saw you grinned, Zuko" Katara interrupted.

"Oh" Zuko frowned.

After waiting for such a long time, finally, Ms. Kyoshi entered the room.

"Sorry for being late" She apologized. "Well, let's just begin"

Then, Ms. Kyoshi noticed Toph. "I see there's a new girl in here!"

"Yes, I am" Toph whispered.

Zuko heard her so he couldn't help but look at her.

"Well, anyway, I have a question" She walk in to the aisle between Zuko & Toph. "What if you" She stopped walking & points Zuko. "& you" She points Toph. "Were in a romantic relationship" Mai & Zuko were shocked.

"Romantic relationship?" Zuko asked.

"Yes. & may I continue what I'm saying?"

Zuko nods.

"As I was saying" Ms. Kyoshi continued. "If you both were in a romantic relationship, for example, Zuko's with Mai because they're like BFF's"

"BFF's? It's impossible" Zuko interrupted.

Mai was hurt.

"I said for example. EXAMPLE, Zuko" Ms. Kyoshi said.

"Okay" He Said.

"& what's your name?" she asked Toph

"Toph" Toph answered.

"Okay, & you Toph, see Mai & Zuko together. Will you trust him or suspect that his cheating on you? What will you do?" Ms. Kyoshi crossed her arms.

"I'll kick their butt" Toph directly answer.

"Wow, that was kind of harsh, Toph" Ms. Kyoshi's eyes widened, 'cause she didn't expect that from a girl. "So, will you trust him or suspect?" She continued.

"I don't really know. I would probably suspect."

"Why?"

"I don't know"

"Is there any other word that you know other than 'I don't know'?" Mai said.

"Sadly, it's not a WORD, it's a SENTENCE, Mai" Toph corrected.

Mai feel so embarrassed.

Katara, Aang, Zuko & the rest of the class giggled.

"Shut up" Mai said.

"Okay, people! Stop it" Ms. Kyoshi stopped them.

Mai looked at Toph with an evil look.


After the end of the day, outside the campus…

"Toph, who's gonna pick you up?" Katara asked.

"The driver." Toph answered

Azula & Zuko's limo came.

"Bye Azula!!" Ty Lee waved. "Hey, Sokka"

"Hey" Sokka waved.

Suddenly Suki came. "Hey!" She punched Sokka at his arms.

"I'm sorry" Sokka apologized.

"Zuko, aren't you going to give the new blind girl a goodbye kiss? Isn't she your girlfriend?" Azula teased.

"She's not my girlfriend!" Zuko shout.

Azula laugh.

They enter the limo.

Then, Katara & Sokka's father came to fetch them.

"Bye Toph, see you tomorrow." Katara said.

"Bye" Toph crossed her arms.

Suki kissed Sokka.

Until they're gone & all that's left is, Mai & Toph.

"You have a crush on Zuko?" Toph asked Mai.

"No" She smirked.

"Oh really? I don't believe you"

"Why did you say so?" Mai raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing, it's just obvious."

Finally, Toph's limo came.

"Bye" Toph enter the limo.

Mai sighed.
