The italics are Toph's mental notes, and actually sometimes arguments with herself. Lol. For the most part the italic only Toph is the one that DOESNT like Zuko and the underlined and italic Toph is the one that thinks Zuko is a human and deserves a chance. Practically devil consciousness and angle consciousness. I hope to cause no confusion non this, I like this style though. Oh, and I cant think of a friken song again!

A few days had gone by with the Zuko incident and summer was approaching, we only had two more weeks of school left, and the last Friday was the summer dance. Which I never go to because im forever alone. It was 4 days exactly, Friday, when I decided to text Zuko. A pretty boring conversation, but im sure you losers wanna hear the details so...

Me: Hey.

Zuko: Who is this?

What an idiot, its friken King Kong coming back from Narnia.

Me: Toph.

Zuko: Oh. Hi?

A '?' really? He's so rude! Calm down Toph, he's probably just shy.

Me: Whats the plan for this stupid project.

Maybe I'm the shy one. No, stop it this isn't your fault, he's just rude.

Zuko: Idk. I need it to be an A though

Angsty and demanding. Great. That sounds just like m-. Shut up, it does not.

Me: Oh. Didn't know you were that worried about your grades.

Stop being rude, your parents make you get good grades so you've got no room to talk!

Zuko: Actually it was a promise to my Uncle.

Hey, he has a heart! He capitalized 'Uncle' like it was a meaningful human being! Or he just has autocorrect.

Me: Oh. So do you have any idea at all?

Why don't you suggest something! You're never shy. But than again I'm not being shy I just don't like the jerk.

Zuko: Maybe something on the Stroop Effect?

Im color blind! What a JERK! Maybe he didn't know, he's trying more than me.

[ for those of you who do not know, The Stroop Effect is a phenomenon in which it is easier to say the color of a word if it matches the semantic meaning of the word. For example, if someone asked you to say the color of the word "Black" that was also printed in blank ink, it would be much easier to say the correct color than if it were printed in green ink.]

Me: Uh, I'm colorblind...

Zuko: Oh, sorry.

Wow he just apologized! this must be a first, someone definitely took his phone! Maybe he's actually a good guy just misunderstood, and shy?!

Me: It's fine. I visited the magic world of and found these two ideas aren't that bad. 'Could a person's taste in music offer hints about their personality? Previous research has suggested that people who prefer certain styles of music tend to exhibit similar personality traits. Explore this fun topic in greater depth by putting your own unique spin on the personality and music preferences experiment.' Also found this 'Does gender have an influence on short-term memory? In this interesting experiment, you can focus on a variety of different research questions such as whether boys or girls are better at remembering specific types of information. Check out the different variations and learn more about planning your own gender and memory experiment.' Like either of those?

Of course he doesn't! He doesn't like anything!

Zuko: Both sound cool. I think I like the music one better though. Which do you like better?

W.O.W 'cool' and 'like' in the same sentence, he also asked my opinion, this can't be Zuko! Orr maybe he is just actually a decent person!

Me: Im with you on the music one. When should we start?

Zuko: Well no one is here to bother us now except for the maid so if you want I guess we can start on it tonight if you want.

An invite to his house- no mansion this was unexpected, its probably some prank. 'No one is here to bother us' erm...?

Me: Ok, what time.

Zuko: Well, its around 3 now, so six?

Argh how annoying! Make up your mind! Use numbers like numbers or spell them out, not both!

Me: Ok.

Zuko: Alright. Do you know where I live, are your parents bringing you?

Of course I know where you live, the giant mansion! And no my parents aren't bringing me to go to a boys house with no adults other than a maid! He's just making sure, being nice, I should try it!

Me: Yes and no lol. I know where you live, we used to ride the same bus. But my parents aren't taking me.

Zuko: Do you need a ride.

Awee hes gonna pick me up. No, he sees it as helping someone by force.

Me: No, I have a way.

Zuko: Ok. See ya later.

Ooh he acknowledged seeing me later. Wow, he knows how to state the misfortunate obvious.

During our conversation I was doing homework, by homework, I mean sitting on my lazy ass on Facebook, half watching tv, and occasionaly picking some things up while sitting around, with an open text book near. It was 4:00 when my favorite tv show came on, so I began my daily ritual at 3:50. I walked downstairs, opened the freezer, and pulled out a pack of frozen cookie dough. I was running low, there were 24 pre-scooped cookies in a pack, and theres only 5 left. I haven't been doing this for 19 days, its just sometimes I eat more than one cookie. I grabbed one of the oiled clumps and threw it on a small plate. I walked over and microwaved it for 30 seconds. I knew raw cookie dough could be dangerous to eat, and microwaving it for 30 seconds wouldn't help, but well it eased my mind a little. While that was cooking I went to the basement freezer and got out a box of pre-cooked plain lasagna. My parents weren't home often, so they bought things their 'Helpless little Toph-y' could cook herself. I walked back with the box and got the cookie dough out of the beeping microwave. The house smelled wonderful, like I'd lit it on fire, and threw a hundred of cookie dough smelling candles on it. Great comparasin, eh? I ripped open the wrapper that was around the cold lasagna, this must be healthy I thought to myself and sat it on the stand the microwave was on. I cooked the lasgna and sauce in under 8 minutes and was back in my room with my (sadly) meat-lacking meal at 3:59 exactly. I went all parkour hopping around my room trying to find the remote in under 60 seconds. I thought of ' Minute to Win It ' while I was throwing comic books, dirty and clean clothes, and rocks that I've found and collected over the years. Finally I found the remote and turned it on the station. The theme song had already begun but that was ok. I sat back and ate, savoring the moment, for once not thinking about how horrible working on this project with Zuko would be.
