Save Time- Book One: Water

CH Five: Trust Issues in An All Time High...

Jasmine and the others got to Kyoshi Island. Everyone enjoyed their time there... Except the brown skinned teenager, because of the clothes that she wore once again. She kept getting stares and glares that would make anyone stand on edge, so she scouted a peaceful place within the wilderness and strolled hoping to do things that would calm her down. She would dance, sing, train, and meditate. She couldn't even do such when she heard someone walk her way as if following her. However, Jasmine knows exactly who it is by how they slightly drag their feet thanks to the couple of times the group would drop off to take a break multiple times.

"What you doing here, Mohawk? Here to relax, too?" Jasmine smiled turning to him.

Her smile turned into slight frown by Sokka's expression. He is on edge.

"I'm just here to make sure you don't try anything."
"Haha, very funny, my guy. We've been there, done that. Now, seriously, though, want to train with me or sum-?"
"I'm not 'your guy', and I am serious. Just because you have Katara and Aang brainwashed doesn't mean I'll fall for it!"

She stayed silent not because she is a chicken but because her tongue is known to be sharp and words blunt. Jasmine was walking away praying until she heard Sokka mumble something that heavily fractured the side that is a pacifist.

"Cowardly monster..."
'Fuck it.'

The Water Tribe boy was shocked when Jasmine scowled at him with her teeth showing.

"You know what? You are such a dumbass, Sokka! And an ignorant one at that. You just can't fucking fathom that there can be good people in the Fire Nation, let alone outside your tribe, and instead, you want to be a bitch about it. Lost your mom to the fire nation, and probably your dad, too, and to which I say, my condolences. However, I refuse to fucking let you and every ones' fears and anxiety make me sorry for shit that I didn't do! Not to mention, you think just because I'm a girl, Imma take it, but I'm a whole different breed, baby, so don't get me confused with the weak ones out there! So with that being said, stop using your fears, mommy issues, and daddy issues for reasons you can't seem to get along with me all of a sudden! If you can't stand me, don't talk to me! Simple as that!"

He stood there flabbergasted and at this point, the whole village heard Jasmine's big mouth, including the rest of the group. He winced and held his heart, because admittedly enough, she was right. But before he can say anything, he was silenced by her gaze.

"And by the way, I may not be from Fire Nation, but if Water Tribe males are jerks and sexists pigs like you, then I would rather be!"

Jasmine stumped away into the site she found not caring that the teenage boy stood there taking in what was blasted at him.

'There may be some words she said that I don't understand, but I got the message...I really messed up.'

He wanted to apologize, but not wanting to face her wrath again, he sighed and walked away from the entrance while mentally punching himself for what he did. In the meanwhile, Jasmine laid in the grass in fetal position crying and praying to whatever or whoever at the same time, because at the end of the day, she didn't mean to cuss him out and...rub salt in open wounds. She just wished Sokka can trust her as much as Katara and Aang. Hell, Momo saw her and would sleep on her stomach sometimes.

She suddenly heard some snow being crunched and hurriedly got up to face Katara, who seem to have ran here. Jasmine carefully watched her as she came closer, because she kind of expected her to snap at the golden eyed girl or waterbend her into the lake. It is her brother she just told off a while ago. However, what she received is a hug.

"W-why are you hugging me?"
"I'm sorry for my brother's stupidity."
"Please don't apologize in Sokka's place. You didn't do anything wrong."
"I know, but still..."
