Together

Sorry

Sokka woke up late, well not too late, but late enough to throw someone off their game. Somehow last night his alarm clock was unplugged, normally he would've still woken up on time, but last night he stayed up watching TV on his phone while cleaning his room. Sokka quickly got dressed, brushed his teeth, stuck a protein bar in his backpack, then shoved in everything he needed. Then Katara was ready. They ended up getting to the bus stop early. After quickly eating his protein bar he walked over to Yue. "Um.. hey nice weather right?"

"Yes, nice weather," she responded with a laugh.

"So..." Sokka began, not really knowing where he was going with it. But he was saved when the bus pulled up. Once again he sat in the back with Katara when Aang got there he sat across from him, then Toph sat next to him and Zuko sat in front of him. School was boring, though he did have science and English with Yue. After school Sokka went to the batting cages, baseball season wasn't till spring but it's always good to stay in shape. Sokka worked on his strength and positioning when a girl came up to him.

"You're not very good," she said

"And a girl like you could do better?"

"I know I can" Then she took the bat from him and started, she was better than him and he knew it.

"Wow, okay maybe you are better, I'm sorry."

"I'll forgive you."

"Could you teach me?"

"Alright, meet me at the baseball field near the park after school tomorrow."

"Okay, wait, what's your name?"

"Suki"

"I'm Sokka"

"See ya later Sokka."

The next day on the bus when Toph came on Sokka noticed Suki and waved but she just rolled her eyes, to her he was still a sexist jerk. Sokka frowned a bit. He saw her again in Math. She sat in front of him. He didn't say anything in fear she would slap him with her textbook. Sokka wanted to be friends with her but understood that he had offended her.

That afternoon he went to the park with his baseball bat and glove, not sure what he would need, She was there waiting for him. When he got there she had a strict look on her face. "If you don't like me why are you helping me?" he had to ask.

"In the name of baseball and good sportsmanship," she responded

"First I want to observe what exactly you're doing wrong," she said, putting on her pitching glove. She pitched to him a few times just observing his style until she finally decided, "Your wrists, they're moving to much, you'll hurt them and your stance is off." After much critiquing he finally got it right. Then he and Suki just practiced, after what felt like forever Suki sat down on the bench and tossed him a water bottle. She chugged hers before saying, "Maybe you're not that bad."

"At baseball?"

"As a person."

After that, they would practice together and talk between classes, but one day everything changed
