Friends with benefits // Modern Tokka

Chapter 6: History Project

It has been a month and a half since school started. Everyday after school, Sokka had Football practice.

Toph was now officially apart of the group. They followed each other on all social media's and she was added to their group chat on instagram which they named "Team Avatar" since the avatar is in their group after all. Toph also became close friends with the watertribe siblings.

Sokka and Suki made amends after their argument. Though they haven't been intimate. Toph still tried to get Sokka out of her mind as a friend and not in any romantic ways. It was the same for Sokka as well, He thought that spending more with Suki would change him mind on Toph but it didn't at all. Every night, his last thought would Toph and It drove him crazy!

Monday afternoon (History class)

Sokka and Toph were on their phones in class, when the bell rang signaling that class had started. They put their phones down and faced the front of the class. Ms.Siar walked to the front of the class and sat down on the stool and spoke.

"Alright i'm going to get straight to the point because i'm talking to this guy and-"

"No one cares about your love life!" Jet yelled from the back of the class with his arm around a girl's shoulder. Everyone laughed

"Anyways, you guys are doing a project on past avatar's. And before you say anything no you cannot do Avatar Aang. Your partners are your desk mates" Sokka and Toph looked at each other and nodded. Ms.Siar continued talking, "It's due in 3 weeks, I have a paper that i'll pass around for you to write down which avatar you're doing. No one can do the same avatar so first come first serve. You and your partners name are already printed on here so all you have to do is write down the Avatar" Sokka turned and whispered to Toph

"Do you know any avatar's?"

"Umm" Toph thought of the first avatar that came to mind "Kyoshi! She's a badass Avatar" She whispered back

"Ok we'll go with that" Sokka said with a smile and Toph nodded

"here's the paper. If you already have an avatar picked, raise your hand and i'll give you the paper" Toph and Sokka and some other student's quickly raised their hands.

"Sokka and Toph, I saw your hands first"

"Yes!" they whispered under their breaths. She walked over to their table and passed them the paper. Toph wrote down the avatar of their choice and passed it to the person behind them. The teacher went back to her desk and grabbed a stack of paper and started handing them out.

The two classmates turned to face each other, "Okay so how are we gonna do this?" Toph asked

"I don't know" Then the teacher came by with two packets filled with the information of the project. The two opened their packets and read through it.

"Alright so it says here we're going to be graded on creativity, research and performance" Toph said, putting the paper down and  turning to face Sokka

"ok.... so how are going to work together?"

"I could go to your house after school" She paused to think, "Probably twice a week, the sooner we work on it the faster we'll be done with it and not have to worry about it"

"Ok, i'm cool with that"

They continued to discuss everything that was on the paper and after they talked and were on their phones until the bell rang to dismiss them. After class they walked to the parking lot but no one was there.

"Where is everyone?" Sokka asked. Toph Stomped her foot and sensed everyone hiding behind Toph's car.

"They're behind my car" She walked over behind her car and saw Katara, Aang, Zuko and Suki crouched on the floor.
