The gymnasium air was a nasty mix of crispy cold and humid as you took your place next to Aang, Katara, and Toph. People were chatting all around you guys, waiting patiently for the match to start. You groan and rest your head in your hand, staring out to the black ring that circled the center of the gym floor,

"How much longer until this starts?" You ask, looking to Katara to your left.

"It should be any minute now. Sokka could not stop talking about this match. Something about beating a hotheaded rich kid," Katara explained, her hand softly in Aang's. Oh Aang, the poor kid had no idea how to react and it was clear with how love-struck he was.

"Hes gonna get his ass beat." Toph smiled, leaning back slightly with her arms behind her head, crossing her legs in front of her, the right over the left.

Katara rolled her eyes and you laughed, "This is gonna be fun to watch... well, feel for you Toph." You say before looking to Katara, "I can't believe I let Sokka drag me here. If he doesn't get me my (favorite food) later then hes a dead man." You snarl.

"Alright (Y/N), you'll get your (favorite food). I'll be sure of it," Katara said.

Before you could get another word out, the sound of interference rang through the gym as the MC turned on his microphone, causing everyone in the area to grip their ears and create a harmony of loud groans,

"Alright alright everyone! Pipe down!" The MC groaned into the mic. He gave everyone a minute to collect themselves before continuing, "Are you ready Wild Bisons?!" He roared.

The entire gym filled with screams, hollers, and clapping. The MC gave a nod of approval, "Now get ready! Here! Are! Our! Wrrrrrestlers!" He yelled, looking to the locker room door. 

The crowd cheered loudly as the wrestlers busted out like caged animals. Guys of all different sizes ran to their side of the court, waving to the crowd before beginning their quick pre-match stretches. Sokka stared around for a second, spotting the gaang and waving frantically,

"Hey guys! Guys!" he shouted, jumping to and fro to get the group's attention.

You heard the obnoxious yells, but Toph was the first to speak, "You're gonna get your ass beat blue-ball!" She yelled

Sokka rolled his eyes, "Shut it Toph!" 

Katara and Aang stood up and cheered, "Go Sokka!" Katara yelled.

Sokka's smile went back on his face, standing proudly before them. He began to flex, which caused Katara to face palm so hard you though she would get a bruise. You let out a soft laugh but still smiled and waved to Sokka. He stopped in his tracks, smiling softly to himself. He stared at you, his eyes flooded with admiration, but you never noticed, not in third grade when you two first met, not now. His coach slapped him on the back, breaking him out of his trance,

"Sokka, get your stretches done. You're next." She said.

Sokka nodded, beginning his stretches as normal. Once he was ready, he took off his sweatshirt and sweatpants, revealing his blue leotard with the school's name and a big bison on it. He walked to the center of the ring where the referee stood, getting into position. Soon enough, a kid with a red leotard with his school's name and a dragon on the back walked to the floor in front of Sokka, getting in the proper stance. The kid was taller that Sokka, but they had a very similar build only with the other kid having more muscle mass. Sokka narrowed his eyes, they both said nothing.
