Choices By Love

I sign and fold it neatly and place it in my bag and after being dismissed I got up and went out of class

"how was it?" Meng asked me as she walked with me 

"you have the note for that camp thing" I ask changing the topic

"the one in two days, yes, I am so excited you know" Meng jumped clapping her hands

"that's good to hear, anyways I will see you later" I say as we reach the gate to my journey home

"why are you here Aang?" I ask I as I see him wait on the wall

"I was hoping to take you home, it dangerous out here" Aang mumbled

I slightly blushed 

again? I thought to myself...

. . .

After the awkward walk, I wave goodbye to Aang as I reach my home gate 

"bye, thanks for walking me home" I smile playing with my hands being nervous

"are you not going to the book store?" Aang said as he rubs his neck

"uh, no, today, you have the camping note right? I will get books tomorrow so I won't get bored" I explain

"good I just see you tomorrow" Aang waved

I pause as in slow motion I see the jacket that looked familiar

"why does that look so familiar, I can't put a finger on it" i mumble to myself 

. . .

The next day at school I walk like a zombie,

I had so much homework last night...

"hey what's with the mood " Zuko walks up to me without warning 

"I had to much homework..." I mumble

"you alright?" Zuko asks like he was my "friend"

"yeah, also did you even study?" I ask teasing him

"no, I don't usually do, that's boring ya know?" Zuko scoffed

I rolled my eyes

"you even dumber than i am...by the way what were you going to tell me yestaurday?" I ask being very curious 

Zuko smiles

"I want to be a k-pop trainee and I h-heard your good with makeup and wanted to go s-shopping with you for makeup stuff..." Zuko stuttered 

"really? well i am alright with makeup but if you insist, sure, how about tomorrow?" I fake smile

"after school is good, bye" Zuko waves

I nod and  sigh, that's another thing to add to my list

"hey you like Zuko already?" Meng teased walking up to me 

"nah, he just asked me to go shopping with him that's all" I explain

"if you say so, I think it's something more" Meng smiled like always 

I slightly nod and walk to class with her 

. . .

After school was over, I head to the book store a promised the night before and scan through the books to see which one was worthy 

"took you long enough" I hear Aang behind me

"hey I was here ages ago" I lie

Aang comes close to me

"nice try" he said tiredly

"did you have a lot of work yestaurday?" I ask teasing him

"yeah double tutoring has me tired" Aang said rubbing his eyes to focus 

"ok smart kid" I say mocking him

I see the book I want and get the chair and stand on it 

"don't fall down like last time, it was e-embarrassing" Aang said covering his face 

I ignore him and grab the book but suddenly I feel the chair shift from it's spot and I lose balance

spirits...

I fall down but I feel arms snaking around me as they save me 

I look at Aang who caught me...again 

And somehow I get lost in his grey stormy beautiful eyes that never seemed to die off of it's beauty, He then breaks the silence with words that make me shiver down my spine and blush 10 times harder,

"am i someone to you?"
