Snippet #2278555

I took a tentative step off the large boat I had been traveling on for the past week. I took a deep breath through my nose as I placed my feet on the wooden dock. I looked at my watch and gasped.
"I'm going to be late!" I cried. Turning around quickly, I hugged my uncle who owned the boat. "Bye Uncle, Thanks for the ride!" I said yelling to him as i sprinted off.
He laughed, and waved as I left. "Good luck Naku!" He called as he began unloading the cargo he was transporting. He would be gone by tomorrow morning.
I ran through the city, saying "Sorry!", "Excuse me!" and "Out of the way!" multiple times. Wow there sure are lots of people here...
I looked at the small, crumpled piece of paper in my hand that told me where to go. Turning a corner, I slammed into a man walking down the street. The paper flew out of my hand in a small gust of wind, and I gasped as i lept forward to grab it out of the air. "No!" I screamed and ran after it. "No no no no no!" It soared away until a lost sight of it. My back slouched, and I groaned.
"Hmf!" I sat up and put my hands on my hips, and gave myself an ispirational smile. "I think I know the way anyway." I turned around and began marching down the street. After about twenty minutes, I lost my insperation again.
"Ohhh... I'm sooo dead!" I groaned, as I walked into something. "Ugh... ow..." I muttered as I rubbed my forhead. Looking up, O saw it was a sign. It said 'The Avatar's Bender Academy.' I gasped in delight and hopped slightly.
"Yes! I knew I could find it!" I proclaimed and started walking towards the front door, my backback with my belongings jangling on my back. I reached the door and put my hand on the door knob. I sudden chill went down my spine.
What If I'm not good enough... I mean, this place is for the gifted... an... and I can barely control my own element...
My hand slid off the door knob, and i looked at the ground, just standing there.
