Together

State of Sadness

Warning: There is a lot of cursing in this chapter. I don't know if this disturbs anybody so I'm saying this like an awkward dork

Suki was worried about what that Monday had in store. Aang and the others had heard from Katara that Sokka and Suki had broken up, just in time for baseball season. Mai wasn't even sitting with them anymore. Azula and Ty Lee left too so she wouldn't be alone. They also were with this guy Kei Lo, Zuko would shoot him angry glares whenever he flirted with Mai. Let's just say that things aren't going great. But Aang and Katara were going great! Today was the first baseball practice of the year. Suki headed outside and saw Sokka. "Um, hey. You excited?" SHe asked awkwardly.

"Yep," He said in a monotone voice, like Don't talk to me I fucking hate you.

Practice was fine, they avoided each other until practice was over. The only problem was that while they were still dating they decided to carpool, when they decided on the terms of their breakup, they decided that they would still carpool. The terms that the agreed on were:

1) They could both sit at the same table

2) They were not to block each other's  numbers

3) They would try and remain on friendly terms for the others

4) They would still carpool

5) They wouldn't practice baseball at the park with each other

6) They had to find new videogame partners

7) This might not last forever

Well, Sokka didn't know about that last part. The whole might part was very unclear. It wasn't like she didn't not love him! But everything was so much bigger than her now, she didn't know how to feel what to do. She was just drowning into a hell hole, she was letting him float. Maybe he would be happier without her, and maybe that would make her feel better. Or worse. She still wasn't sure but if they were still dating it would be worse for him.

                                                                (Now to sort of Mai's perspective)

Mai sat down at her table at lunch. Kei Lo was already there. "Hey!"

"Hi Mai! How was your day so far?"

"Good!" she said giving a small smile

"Hey," Azula said sitting down

"Good afternoon!" said Ty Lee taking her seat.

"So," Azula said, "Want to go to the Jasmine Dragon after school."

"Isn't your brother working today." Ty Lee asked

"He is, isn't he?" Azula responded shooting Mai a look. You know, maybe you two could get back together.

"No! Goddammit Azula, I'm not getting back together with that asshole"

"Fine"

When they got to the Jasmine Dragon they sat at a table. "Hi, I'm Zuko, even if my uniform says Lee, my name is Zuko, and I'll be your waiter today, what can I get you?" he asked never looking up from his pad.

"Umm, the most caffeinated thing you have," Mai told him.

"Mai?" Zuko asked looking up.

"Yep," Ty Lee ordered something fruity, Azula got her brother's favorite, Jasmine, and Kei Lo got herbal tea. They had fun but at one point, Mai glanced over at Zuko and saw the look of heartbreak in his eyes, but had to ignore it, he knew what he did. She couldn't believe how he'd lied to everyone. She just couldn't take it.
