Ok, so this is actually the first chapter I wrotem sorry it's much shorter, I guess Toph's life isn't as boring as Zuko's? Any ways this is just a prologue so yeah, enjoy! And review!
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN THE CHARACTER OR THE SONGS NUMB AND IN THE END THEY ARE BY LINKIN PARK, I ONLY OWN THE STORY AND THE IDEA.
Ugh morning how ugly it wwas. Birds singing. I hate birds and singing.
School and people I hate both.
The sun hadn't risen yet, and I feel like shit.
My dad is the leader of the board of education, and my Moms the state representive so why do I have to go to school?! Sure I hadn't spoken to dad in years, since he abused Mom, but still do something good for me once, pops. I grabbed my black jeans and red shirt and got dressed, then just to make the morning better I coudldn't find my Chuck Taylors.
Great.
"Linda!" I'd make Linda find them. I heard her running to me and when she got close enough for me to see her she slowed to a quick walk.
"Yes, Zuko?" Seriously a 35 year old woman couldn't get a better job rather than doing what a bossy teenager tells her to do.
But oh well, I don't care.
"Find me my converse... Please." Hey I have some respect. But only some.
"Yes sir." She stuttered, then ran off to find the shoes.
Ewh, I need a mint. So I ran off to brush my teeth, because Zuko Roku doesn't do bad breath. Spitting out the mouthful of 'Listerine' I pulled open the door and she was standing there with my converse. A grin tugged at my face content with her, but instead I just mumbled 'thanks', grabbed the shoes and walked away. she simply nodded her head.
I threw on my red and black shoes, I admired them I sometimes talked to them, and why did I just say that?
Shit! 7:30 already! I hopped in my red and black mustang and began the drive to a long Monday at school.
Joy.
'Stacy's Mom' by Fountains Of Wayne boomed in my speakers, horified I connected my Ipod into the radio and the sound of Linkin Park poured into my ears I was paying too much attention to backing out of the driveway until I finally actually listened to the music
I tried so hard And got so far
But in the end It doesn't even matter
I had to fall To lose it all
But in the end It doesn't even matter
Hmp talk about story of my life.
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try,
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme,
To remind myself of a time when
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me in the end
You kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time
In The End- Linkin Park
Thinking of my father tears stung my eyes, I reached up to my face and touched my scar. I changed the song before the chorus started again. Even though my Ipod was on shuffle in really knows how to get to me
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
-Numb Linkin Park
It reminded me of my father, and Azula. All I ever wanted to do was please my father, but no matter what Azula was successful, and I failed.
Damnit.
This was getting annoying.
Then 'Fat Lip' by Sum41 came on, and got me thinking no one ever thinks that the popular boy might have life and home problems at home.
How was I popular anyways?
Maybe because no one ever saw my hidden side.
I always put up a front, Mai was the only one who ever really understood me but then her parents had to go and move, ruining both of our lives.
Am I talking to myself? Oh well.
Since Mai I didn't really like like anyone.
I don't really like anyone.
Humanity
. Oh who could honestly!? No one did anything right.
Nothing was satisfying.
I arrived at school pulling myself out of thought. The second I stepped out of my car Ty Lee and Jin were there to great me. I faked a smile- time to turn into someone else.
So, how is it? Review!
