Avatar 2-Why me?

Neteyam

We flew a long time to get to Tonowari's village, and, after lots of arguing from my dad, we got in.

The next day, we were swimming. It was slow, since me, Tuk, and Lo'ak kept going up for air. As I went down a second time, I noticed another girl watching us.

I didn't turn to her, but watched her out of the corner of my eye. She was watching us, curiousity all over her face.

Probably just nothing.

I noticed that many villagers were wary, but curious about us, watching us closely, but not too close.

Although, this was the first time that one got this close. 

I went to the surface, took a deep breath, then went back underwater. I looked for the girl, but couldn't find her. I guess she left.

For some reason, that disappointed me.

The next day, we all sat together in a circle, practicing our breathing. Suddenly, Tsireya bent down to Lo'ak, touching his stomach and chest. Lo'ak let out a sudden breath, then continued breathing.

"Breathe from here." Tsireya said, pressing his stomach.

Lo'ak breathe, then Tsireya said "Your heart is very fast."

"Sorry." Lo'ak said.

"Try again."

I tried so hard not to laugh, and shared a knowing look with Roxto.

Suddenly, I saw someone in the distance. It was the same girl from yesterday.

She wasn't watching us, but was throwing a net in the water, catching fish. Just then, she turned around. I noticed that she had the most beautiful eyes and hair.

Those eyes were deep violet, and her hair was different. It was black, but wasn't curly, but straight, and a little bit messy.

She was about to catch my eye, but I looked away, making sure that she didn't see me looking. When I looked back, she was gone...again.

But, I have a feeling that we would see each other again.
