Gone

What went wrong? Sokka himself was still trying to wrap his head around it himself. Suki was leaving. Her and Sokka were just getting close, he was even going to invite her so sit with the others at lunch. Suki's Aunt Kyoshi told her about this military school program she was the head of and invited her to join. And of course, she said yes, she once told Sokka about how she aspired to join the army. Sokka's own father had joined, he hadn't been able to visit in years, not since his mother's funeral.


It was Suki's last day before she left, she was practicing with Sokka, one last time (George Washington's going home{sorry}) After she put her stuff away she sat on a bench next to Sokka. "Listen I'm sorry about what I said that day at the batting cages. You are really good, and I shouldn't have underestimated you because you were a girl."


"It's okay, you saw what you did wrong and you changed your ways. I'll miss you" she said softly then... kissed his cheek? She walked off quickly, waving. Sokka was still out of it. Why did she kiss him, even if it just was on the cheek. Did he like her? No, he liked Yue. She just did that because she would be gone for a while and would miss him. She did that as a friend, nothing more.


The next day at lunch, he got to lunch later than everyone else at his table, since his annoying 4th-period teacher had kept his class late. As he was sitting down an argument was brewing between Katara and Toph. "I did not have a thing for Haru!" His sister yelled.


"I'm blind and even I can see that you and Haru like each other!"


"She doesn't like Haru!" That was Aang


"You don't want Katara to Haru because YOU like her!"


"WHAT NO!!!"


"Zuko, why are you laughing?" Sokka asked


"Because you guys are hilarious!"


"You only get to laugh because you have a healthy relationship with your girlfriend!"


"You're only bitter because the girl you like left you."


"I don't like Suki like that!"


"Sure"


"He'll admit he likes Suki the day Katara admits she likes Aang and Haru!" Toph commented


"I don't like Haru!"


"You never said you don't like Aang!"


"I thought we already covered that!"


"But, you never explicitly said that!"


The bell rang and Katara got as far away from Toph as possible, Aang did the same for both girls. Sokka trudged off to Math, normally he would have met up with Suki, but he well... couldn't.


A/N: Sorry this was so short I'm kinda burnt out today, I wrote three chapters.
