Suki sat on her bed, folding clothes and placing them in her suitcase. She had spent the week after the party preparing to go to soccer camp at the University of Kyoshi, and avoiding Sokka. It wasn't that hard. She only had two classes with him, math and science, and during those times, their eyes had only met once, which was one time too many. She had been so excited for the camp before, but now she couldn't stop thinking about Sokka.
Stop it! she thought, you saw that him and Yue are going out. He got over you! You were right! So stop thinking about him! Suki collapsed on her bed. She was skipping school today so she could prepare, but her flight didn't leave until 6 p.m. Her gaze shifted from the ceiling to her phone lying next to her. It was tempting to call him, but Suki shook the thought away.

"I can't believe you're starting earthbending in a few days." Katara and Aang sat at the edge of the pool, dabbling their toes in the water before class started.
"I know. I'm kind of nervous," Aang admitted, "Earth is so different than air, so it will probably be a lot harder to learn."
"I'm sure you'll get it, but I'm just worried about not having waterbending with you anymore." Katara slowly froze and unfroze the entire length of the pool. She had improved a lot since she stopped taking Healing full time.
"Katara, you're the most amazing person I've ever met," Aang said. Katara turned her head to face him, "You're super smart, and an awesome waterbender. You'll do amazing for the rest of the year." Katara blushed.

"I'm not that worried about the class itself. I guess... I'm just gonna miss you is all," she paused, "You really mean those things you said about me?"
"Definitely." Aang said firmly.
"Alright everyone, before we start class, we have a special presentation from our current student body president, Azula." Azula walked up next to Pakku, with a smug look on her face.
"I wish I didn't have to make this speech, but Iroh said I had to," she sighed and pulled out a sheet of paper, "Student government is open to anyone who wants to participate in helping our school become a better place. For those of you who would like to be a part of this club, simply let me know, and you can come to Classroom 47 after school."
"Do you think I should join?" Aang whispered to Katara.
"Are you serious? With Azula? That would be like going into a lion's den."
"I know, but organizing school events would be fun. I wanted to go to a school dance in high school, but it looks like you don't even have that here. If I joined student government, I could actually make that happen."
"I guess you're right. Our school doesn't even have a prom."
"So I'm assuming that no one here would like to be a part of student government." Azula smirked. Aang raised his hand.
"Actually, I'll join student government." Azula's smirk turned into a frown.
"Fine. Be at classroom 47 at 4 o'clock sharp. Don't be late." Then she halfheartedly said, "Anyone else?"
"Um- Me." Aang's eyes widened when he saw that it was Katara who spoke up. She smiled at him. Azula's frown was now a full on grimace of disgust.
"That's it! No more volunteers." she gave Aang and Katara a death glare and stormed out of the room.

"It's official. You guys are insane." It was lunch and Sokka popped a potato chip in his mouth, "Azula hates you now."
"That probably isn't true," Aang said, trying to be optimistic, "All we did was join a club."
"Well that's all it takes," Sokka shrugged, "You guys are screwed." That was when Aang heard someone sit next to him.
"I'm sitting here," Toph said.
"Oh, ok" Aang and his friends quickly started to leave the table, but Toph stopped them by causing slight tremors in the ground with her earthbending.
"No you idiots, I meant I wanted to sit with you."
"Ohh." They sat back down, and Toph brought out a huge picnic basket, with all sorts of intoxicating smells coming from it.
"My parents always pack these huge lunchboxes for me. I guess they just need something to do with all the extra money they have, but I never eat all of it." Sokka's eyes grew wide and he snatched the basket from her hands.
"Bribe accepted!" he said as he started shoveling food into his mouth.
"So when are you going on your date with Yue?" Katara asked as she took a few rice cakes from the seemingly endless supply of food.
"Eat first talk later," he finished his mouthful of food, "Yeah, we're going to a cafe next week. She apparently doesn't get much free time." Katara ruffled Sokka's hair.
"My own brother, all grown up and going on dates."
"Don't patronize me Katara," Sokka said, but he was smiling.
~~~
Classroom 47 was fairly large, with long tables and a fish tank on the back wall. As Aang and Katara walked they only saw four people in the class. Azula, who was glaring at them, Mai, who was glaring at the world, Zuko, who was glaring at everyone, and Ty Lee, who was smiling.
"Great," Azula said flatly, "We're all here."
"This is everyone?" Katara asked as she and Aang sat down at one of the tables.
"Yes, this is everyone. Now you two can," she paused, "Do whatever you want. I don't care. Zuko, Mai, work on the fundraiser for a better firebending class. Ty lee and I will work on my campaign strategy for the student government elections this year.
"You know no one's going to run against you Azula," said Mai, "So why even bother."
"I just need to be prepared, so that if anyone does run against me," she turned to Aang and Katara and smirked, "I will crush them into the dirt."

Suki was sitting on a bench at the airport. Her flight left in a couple of hours. It was only a three hour flight, but she knew that she would feel cut off once she got to the University of Kyoshi, so she took out her phone, an scrolled through her contacts. She found Sokka and thought of whether or not to call him. In the end, she decided to text. But what would she say? He was going out with Yue, so she just wanted to be friendly. She just wanted to let him know she was there. Her fingers quickly tapped out a message.
thenshe waited. A half hour passed, and she got a snack from the vending machine. Then an hour passed, and she started to get worried. He doesn't want to talk to me. 90 minutes later she texted her friends and told them how excited and lucky she was, and how she'd miss them. Then the flight was boarding. She was about to turn airplane mode when her phone vibrated. It was from Sokka.
, was all it said, and Suki smiled.

The Forest Spirit who sought the Gods
After the Gods of Time, Nature and the Elements created this world, they took a rest under the shade of a tree they created. Thanking their creation for helping them back with its shade, they gave the tree sentience, blessed him and called him a friend. Now the Gods are half-asleep, content with only watching. The world has breathed for millenia, and the blessed tree still watches over the forest around himself. The world has changed and his life comes to an end, surrounded by loneliness. Gathering what's left of his strength, he passes his torch on, in the hope of giving a last goodbye to his friends, wherever they may be and whenever they would see. Meet and follow his first and last creation he passes his will to, a one of a kind forest spirit with... abilities (wouldn't want to spoil too much here now, would I?). Curious and cute, he will travel and meet new people, discovering the world he's in, to try and give a last goodbye to the three creation gods in his dad-tree's place.------It's my first time writing a novel! Or anything of the kind, in fact. So bash me as much as you like (within reason, of course).------This will be a world of humans, humanoïds, beasts, magic, and a heartwarming tale of travels across it. It won't always be butterflies, roses and friendship though, heavy moments are there too. Also : depictions of violence, blood and gore, nudity, strong language, alcohol and other classic +17 stuff. To the reader's discretion.
8 115Colossus of Catastrophe
A world where he's stuck in a game like setting. Sign him up! Except that Lazarus found himself stuck in a cave with nothing but glowing crystals and the skittering of rats. And according to the glowing blue box he'd been affected by unforeseen circumstances and transported to the world of Zara. What the hell was that?! He didn't like caves at all! He didn't get any powers! Only this blue box fixed in front of him... Hello this book will be a lit-rpg in a fantasy world. It will be primarily action and adventure. I dislike characters who get tied down and suckered, so if your looking for kingdom building or large interpersonal relations this isn't it. There will be some but it won't be the focus. He will be somewhat of an antihero but more in the sense that Lazarus will be free. I'm not the most experienced writer, but I would love feedback to improve. Thank you for reading!
