Sukka Week-Humiliation

"So Suki, what do you think we should do for the talent show?" Sokka, a 16 year old junior said to his girlfriend Suki, who was also in junior year.

"I don't know, Sokka. Talent shows aren't really...my sort of thing"

"Why not? They're fun!"

"I don't know...people don't really...enjoy me on stage"

"Well, I'll make them enjoy it! I'm going to make our act the best one in the show"

"Well, if I'm going to participate, I think it's kind of important that I know what we'll be doing"

"Oh, right." Sokka rubbed his chin.

"We could...do a dance?" Suki suggested, shrugging.

"But what kind of dance? It has to be something awesome!"

"I don't know...I don't know what dances there..are?"

"I got it! Tap dancing!" Sokka said, eyes wide.

"Tap dancing, oh no way. I couldn't tap dance for my life. And neither could you" She said, kissing his nose.

"I did tap dancing! ...when I was young..."

"Yeah, Sokka. Sure"

"I promise you Suki, we'll be the best act in the show!" Sokka replied, giving Suki a reassuring hug.

It was the night of the Talent show, and Sokka and Suki had been practicing for weeks. Suki wasn't a tap dancer herself, so she really had no idea if Sokka knew what he was doing when he was teaching her the steps he had choreographed.

She let out a deep sigh. She was nervous. Really nervous. She looked down at her sparkling attire. A ruby red halter dress, just above her knees, and of course, tap shoes. Sokka however, seemed perfectly calm. He was wearing a white button down with black slacks.

"You look beautiful" He said to her, as she blushed furiously.

"And our final act, is a tap dance by Sokka and Suki!" Pakku announced from the stage.
Suki took a deep breath, and held Sokka's hand. They walked on stage with smiles on their face.

A couple people whistled at Suki's appearance, and she tried to cover herself up from blushing too hard.

I can't believe I'm doing this Suki thought to herself.

The music started and Sokka did a rapid beat with his feet, clicking and clacking away. It didn't look anything like tap dancing, just a kid tapping his feet on the ground, but the movement he was making in such short amount of time was amazing.

Then came Suki's turn, she took a deep breath and clacked her shoes slowly against the ground, she looked down, suddenly forgetting the steps and improvising, and people started to get confused.

What am I doing?! Suki thought to herself. Tears welled up in her eyes as the audience started to make loud, rude noises, she ran off stage, click-clacking away.

Her legs took her as far as the dressing room, and she curled up in a corner and started to cry. Suddenly, she felt a warm hand upon her back.

"Go away. They hated it. They hated me." suki said, trying to help herself from crying.

Sokka pulled her into his arms and cradled her. "So what? I loved it."
