Tw: slight homophobia
modern middle school au
Bumi: 16 sophmore Kya: 13 8th grade Tenzin: 12 6th grade Lin: 11 sixth grade
Lin loved school, not many people did for them school was torture for Lin an excape, from her mom, from her sister, from the pressure of always being perfect.
For Kya school was the exact opposit, She hated it, She couldn't be her self there were so many worries, and secrets, and caring about what other people thought, though it wasn't much diffent at air temple Island with the air nomads or the white lotus always around. The only place she could ever be her self was around Lin and she couldn't even be her complete self around the metal bender either. For around a year now Kya had a secret one that she was to scared to tell even her best friend. The secret was Kya like girls, there were girls like her at school exept they were out and the second they came out they were instantly shunned and became the weird kids. So it was better to stay in the closet even if it ment lying to her best friend.
"Kya?" Lin asked as they walked home to air temple island. snapping kya out of her thoughts.
"Oh sorry, I've just been realy tired lately" Kya excused
"you said that yesterday. Have you been sleeping all right?"
"not realy" kya said witch wasn't a complete lie, she had been up doing homework, and thinking about her slight crush on the metal bender for the past few days.
"ok" Lin shrugged and the girls contunied walking. When they arrived at the ferry tenzin and bumi were already waiting.
"took you long enough" Tenzin complained.
"sorry we don't enjoy running two miles just to be the first on the ferry" Kya shot at him
"runnings fun, I bet Lin would like to run with me" Tenzin smiled at the metal bender
"I prefer walking with kya" Lin said and smiled at the waterbender. tenzin scoffed and they sat in silince for the rest of the ferry ride. Once they arived at air temple island The girls were ready to enjoy there sleepover when katara spoke up.
"girls why don't you get your homework done than you won't have to worry the rest of the weeekend."
"moooooooooommm" Kya groaned
"just get it done I doubt it will take long" Katra said and lin and kya nodded and went to kyas room to do their homework. Lin pulled her math homework out of her bag and kya got her spanish homework. They worked in silince for a bit before kya groaned out of fresturation
"what?" Lin asked
"I have to correct this and my teacher said I got this one wrong but I don't know what its soposed to say." Kya groaned
"its soposed to say hello friend you wrote hello sweet potato" Lin burst out laughing
"I though batata was friend, and since when do you know spanish?" kya said
"I was bored one day so I started learing it" lin shrugged and they went back to their work. "cool" lin muttered quietly after a bit of working
"what?" kya asked
"oh its just that my math problem has to girls buying flowers for eacother" Lin smiled shyly
"cool" was all kya could mutter her mind was going insaine, should I tell her? she oviusly soports. I wanna tell her but what is she thinks it wierd since we alwasy hang out? I'm gonna tell her. "hey lin" kya started
