"Sokka!"
Sokka was about to head to lunch when he heard his name being called. He turned around and saw Yue.
"Oh hey Yue, what's up?"
"What's up is that you never told me it was your birthday last Thursday! I had to find out through your sister" she said
"Ah well, I guess I forgot. Doesn't matter though"
"Of course it does. That's why I decided to make you this" she pulls out a little string bracelet that's blue and white and hands it to him.
"Oh wow, this is really nice. I'll wear it" he says as he puts on the bracelet.
"Aw, I'm glad you like it"
"Yeah, it's nice. Thanks, Yue"
"No problem at all, and happy birthday"
"Thanks again. I'm gonna go eat lunch. See you later in class" he says ands heads off to sit with Azula and everyone else.

"Mm I'm so hungry" he says when he sits down next to Azula.
"Yeah me too- what's that?" Azula asks when she sees the bracelet Sokka is wearing.
"Oh Yue gave me this as a birthday gift"
"Yue gave it to you? As a gift? And you're wearing it?"
"Um yeah... it's nice..."
"No it isn't! Sokka I told you about her!"
"Azula it's just a bracelet"
"No it isn't just a bracelet! She likes you so she gave this to you and now you're wearing it"
"Well yeah... she's my friend and she gave me a bracelet, it's nice"
"She doesn't think of you as a friend. Oh and you know who else is her friend? Suki. They're both out to get me"
"Ok just because Yue is friends with Suki doesn't mean she's out to get you"
"Yes it does! Anyways, can you just take it off?"
"She made this herself, I don't want to be mean"
"It isn't mean"
"Kinda... she's nice Azula"
"Ok you know what? I've have enough of her shit. I'm gonna go talk to her about this"
"No, Azula don't"
"Don't worry, I'll talk calmly. I've been getting better at controlling myself. Just watch"
She gets up from her table and goes over to where Yue is sitting with Suki.

"Excuse me, I don't appreciate the little gift you gave to Sokka" said Azula once she got there.
"Well it was his birthday"
"Yeah but you didn't need to make him anything"
"I'm his friend"
"Friend, yeah right. I know what you're trying to do"
"What am I doing? The same thing you did to Suki?"
"That was different"
"No it definitely wasn't" Suki adds
"You're not involved in this" Azula says, trying to not let Suki get to her.
"I definitely am. See how it feels? Except Yue didn't actually fuck your boyfriend"
"I'm not talking to you. Yue, I know exactly you're doing"
"Whatever Azula. You just constantly have a stick up your ass because you have mommy issues" Yue says and then Suki snickers.
"What did you say?" Azula says, shocked.
"You have mommy issues" she repeats.
"No I don't!"
"Then why are you getting so defensive? Your mommy doesn't love you?" Yue says and Suki laughs more.
"Shut up! You have no idea what you're talking about!"
"Judging by your reaction I clearly do. I mean how could a mother ever love a child like you?"

Azula was trying to suppress her anger but she just couldn't anymore. She grabbed a water bottle that was on the table and threw its contents on Yue.
"Oh you bitch!" Yue yells at her.
After seeing what Azula did, Suki grabbed her own water bottle and then also threw water over Azula.

A teacher, who saw pretty much everything, ran over to them.
"Girls! You don't dump water on people! All three of you to the office now!"

They got escorted to the office by the teacher. The teacher explained that she heard yelling and then they started throwing water on each other to the principal. He decided to just call their parents and tell them to come pick them up because he didn't want to deal with their so called "childish matters".
—————————————————————————
The three waited outside the office without saying anything (except for when Suki and Yue whispered some stuff to each other).

Ursa was the first one to arrive to pick up Azula.
"Absolutely ridiculous. Your father is at work and then I had to leave work to come get you" said Ursa when she walked in.
"Mom, stop" Azula said, not wanting to argue with her mother in front of the other two after what just happened.
"No, this is unbelievable. It's like the third time this year and there's still like 4 months left"
"Ok mom can we not talk about this here?" Azula said after she noticed Suki and Yue subtly smiling and laughing to each other.
"You're ridiculous, I can't believe you some times. You need to shape up for the end of the year"
"Yeah Azula, listen to your mom and shape up" Suki teased.
"Shut up!" Azula yelled at her
"Ok stop it, we're going" Ursa said and then left. Azula followed her out and heard the two girls laughing as she did so.

"Did you seriously have to do that in front of them?" Said Azula once they got in the car.
"I was mad at you"
"Yeah I know, you always are. It couldn't wait for the car though?"
"I guess not. What even happened? I just gotta a call that you guys were screaming at each other and threw water over each other? Like seriously, you aren't five years old"
"Yeah they said something to me"
"What did they say?"
"Doesn't matter"
"It matters to me. What did they say that made you throw water over them?"
"Nothing!"
"It clearly wasn't nothing Azula! Tell me!"
"Oh my god fine! Yue gave Sokka this stupid little bracelet for his birthday and I confronted her about it and they started insulting me so I threw water on Yue"
"Seriously Azula... I can't believe some stuff you do. Why couldn't you just walk away or something?"
"Because I'm not letting them get away with that!"
"Dad told me that you're working on controlling your anger but clearly you're not"
"I am!"
"How can you say that but then throw water over someone because of silly words and also be yelling at me right now?"
"You don't get it!" Azula says while clenching her fists.
"How don't I get it? You say you're trying to work on changing but you haven't, you're just as angry as before"
"I'm trying, ok?! It isn't easy! I can't just flip a switch and be normal! It's hard, ok?! You don't get it because you're normal! I'm not, it's not easy for me and you don't understand! Do you know how hard I've been trying to not lose my temper over the smallest things?! Do you know how much effort that takes?! No, you don't and you never will because you don't have to deal with anger issues! But just because I have these issues doesn't make me a bad person, ok?!" Azula yelled, blurting out a lot of stuff that she didn't necessarily want to say. She just slumped back in her seat and put her head down.
"Ok... I never said you were a bad person, Azula. Yes, you have stuff you need to work on and I get that it probably isn't easy. I guess maybe you have to try a bit harder by avoiding confrontation maybe. Anyways,  you're not a bad person, I know that"
"I don't want to talk about it anymore. Can we just get home?" Azula said in a lower tone and while looking at the ground.
"Ok but your dad might want to talk about it when he gets back from work"
"Whatever, I just want to go home"

They didn't exchange another word the entire car ride home.
