Chapter 11: Reconciliation

Aang
After she kissed me, I smiled and quickly walked to my hut as a way to avoid her from seeing me blush. She always did that. Ever since she found, she was always kissing me on the cheek. No wonder I developed feelings for her. She was the first girl to show me affection. Maybe that's why I was so attached to her.

I laid down and rubbed my eyes. I yawned and began getting undressed. I got into bed, stirring around for a few minutes before falling asleep to the sound of the cold wind.

Katara
I could barely fall asleep that night. I kept thinking about him. I kept picturing his face. He had really grown into his features. I blushed, remembering our water bending session. He isn't that silly little kid anymore. I can't believe how tall he had gotten. Sure he was 16 now but he was almost taller than Sokka now. I turned to my side and bit my lip.

I wanted to know so many things. What had he been doing all this time? Which people has he met? Were there any girls?
I decided to stop thinking so much and inquire about all of it tomorrow. We did have 3 years to catch up on.

I stirred around and opened my eyes. It's morning. I actually woke up pretty early. It was dawn when I looked out of my hut. I yawned before getting dressed and doing my hair. As it was still morning, I decided to practice water bending. I only wore my upper bindings and a long skirt with pants underneath.

I went outside and breathed in the fresh air. I passed Aangs hut and got memories from last night. I brushed them off and headed not to far from there. I could still see all the huts but was far enough as to not disturb anybody.

I started water bending but I couldn't seem to focus. I tried a few more times but I was sloppy. My mind was else where. I sighed and wanted to head back. I was stopped in my tracks when I saw Kyiosana walking around. What was she doing up so early? I hid behind a tent and watched her. I watched as she walked over to a hut.
It was Aangs hut.

I couldn't believe it. She got inside and I decided to get closer. I got behind the hut next to it and tried to listen to what was happening. Aang seemed to be awake. I don't know why but I felt angry. I stepped out and was walking towards his hut now. Then they suddenly stepped out of his hut together. Aang was shirtless but was in the process of putting his tunic on. They both saw me and stopped.

„Oh, Hey Katara." Aang said as he dressed himself. Kyiosana stood next to him, looking at me.

„Hi guys. What are you doing up so early?" I asked them, wanting to sound like I didn't care too much. Kyiosana crossed her arms.

„We could ask you the same thing." She said, sounding sassy. Aang looked at her and spoke.

„Kyiosana wanted to go penguin sledding. I was going to show her how to do it." He said smiling. With that she smiled too, matching his smile.

„Right, you guys have fun." I said breathing out.

„Thanks, we will." Kyiosana grabbed his arm smiling and walked away with him. I looked at them as they left. He was going to show her how to penguin sled? I was the first person to go penguin sledding with him.

I didn't know where all this envy was coming from. I convinced myself it was all in my head. I began walking back to my water bending spot. I figured I shouldn't let my mood be spoiled. I wanted to give it another chance.
I got there and I was right. I wasn't as sloppy as before. I was bending a pile of water around.
