little miss perfect. (Jazmine DuBois Fanfiction, gxg)

I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO DANCE

Nefertari's POV

  I buttoned up my black dress shirt, leaving the top two buttons unbuttoned because I'm just so sexy you guys. I have to flex a little bit..

UGH!!

  I've got to hurry up so I can pick up Jazmine... She's my bestie and I love her so much but oh my goodness, the girl is fine!

  I smiled and put on my chain, looking at myself in the mirror. Life is so good, I'm taking Jazmine to homecoming. We've been friends for a while, we've been friends since eight grade. I never really liked her before, we've just been good good friends... I don't know what changed but, I'm kinda wishing we weren't just... Friends!

  Unfortunately for me, Jazmine doesn't like girls so, I've got to thug it out.

But I'm taking her to homecoming. 🤭

  I put my twist up in a ponytail to show off my fresh undercut and recut the slit in my eyebrow.

  "I just need to make sure I look perfect.." I mumbled to myself while sliding my rings on.

"NIFFY!"

  I jumped as my mom called my name, quickly putting on chapstick and running downstairs. "IM COMING!" I met her at the door and she smiled.

  "You're so pretty baby, I wish you dressed like a girl." She kissed my forehead. "Now come on, we've gotta go pick up Jazmine." I smiled and went out to the car.

We're gonna go get Jazmine!!!!

  I watched all the houses go by as we made our way to her neighborhood. She doesn't live far from me, I could walk over there honestly.

  "You didn't get any flowers for your little friend?" My mom asked and I looked at her. "Do you think we could stop by the store real quick?- please?" She giggled and we detoured at Food lion.

  I ran inside and grabbed a dozen roses, it was like 20 dollars, which is more than I expected but man- it's worth it for Jazmine.

God I'm delusional..

  I got back in the car smiling, staring at the bouquet of flowers. "Do you think she's going to like them?" I asked anxiously, looking at my mom. She smiled as she drove and we pulled up to Jazmine's house.

  "I think she's going to love them." I smiled as my mom parked. "Now go knock and tell Thomas and Sarah I said hi, okay?" I nodded and got out of the car, running to the door and ringing the doorbell.

  Jazmine's mom Sarah opened the door and smiled. "Oh hi,.. Nefertari! Are you here for Jazmine?" She asked and I nodded. "My mother sends her greetings to you and your husband."

  I heard Jazmine run to the door and when I saw her, it felt like my heart skipped a beat. She smiled at me and I stood, anxiously holding the roses out for her.

  "I bought these for you.." I spoke confidently and she smiled hugging me. "Tari, you didn't have to do that... You're the best friend ever!" I smiled and wrapped my arms around her waist.

Ouch.

  "Anything for you, Jazzy." I said reassuringly and Sarah smiled at us. "Let me take some pictures of you two before you leave, get close like you like each other."

  "Moooom!" Jazmine complained playfully. She stood next to me, leaning in, holding her flowers, and smiling. Like we're a couple or something. I hugged her and we posed for the pictures, very unserious about the whole thing. Jazmine hands her mom the flowers and we walk to my mom's car together.

  "You look gorgeous, Jazmine... Like really." I smiled at her lovingly and she looked at me. "You don't look bad yourself! I might've even dated you if you were a boy." She said it playfully but a trillion thoughts ran through my head between transitioning and moving schools.

  I just don't even know what to say. I just stared at her and opened the car door for her, helping her get into the car. Her newly straightened hair cascaded down her back and her neck was decorated with necklaces. It was weird seeing Jazmine so dressed up, she never dressed up like this at school or when we hung out on the weekends.

  I just couldn't help but to stare. She had on lashes and eye shadow and lipgloss. I mean- I just...

She's so pretty.. she's just.. gorgeous.

BUT SHE'S STRAIGHT, I NEED TO STOP BEING DELUSIONAL!!

  "Nefertari.." Jazmine stared at me and I just shook my head, quietly apologizing and closing the door,  getting in the front seat. "Okay, let's go!" I smiled and my mom drove us to the school.

  We arrived and I got out of the car, opening the door for Jazmine. "Bye mom, drive safe!" I said as Jazmine grabbed my hand while she was stepping out of the car.

  "Bye baby, you guys be careful and keep an eye on each other. Did you wanna grab something to eat after the dance?" She asked and I looked at Jazmine. "did you want to eat something?" She nodded "could we grab some Chinese food?" I nodded , then I noticed I was still holding onto her hand and I quickly let go, turning back to my mom.

  "Is Chinese okay?" I asked and she nodded. "that's fine. I'll see you two in a couple of hours." I shut the door and she drove away. I turned back to Jazmine and she smiled at me.

  "You look really good, Tari.." I smiled back at her, giggling. "Oh, your heels make you almost my height." She rolled her eyes, walking away playfully. I chased after her laughing. "Jazmine wait! - you- haha! You're gorgeous, Jazmine! But come onn! The joke was funny!"

  We went inside the school gymnasium and walked through a group of people, holding onto each other's hands as we walked through.

🎵They should call you sugar
You so sweet
Well they should call you sugar
You so sweet to me
Oh they should call you sugar, sugar
You so sweet
Cus baby you're the
Sweetest
Sweetest
Sweetest
Thing I've known🎵

"Oh look! There's Huey, Riley, and Cynthia!" Jazmine said excitedly, pulling me over to them.

🎵oh you look so good🎵

  I smiled as I watched her excitedly speak. Huey glanced at me, then Jazmine, then our hands, and he just smirked.

🎵And you smell so good
And you taste so good
Oh you so so good
You're the sweetest🎵

  I looked at Huey with a confused look and he shrugged, focusing back on his conversation with Jazmine. She let go of my hand and hugged him excitedly. "Oh Huey, you look so good!" He slightly smiled, patting her back awkwardly. "Thank you Jazmine, you look good too.."

Sweet like muh fuckin brown sugar sweet potatoes... Or something.

  Then he whispered something I couldn't quite hear and she just rolled her eyes. "WHATEVER!"  She shouted at him and he laughed, harder than I had ever seen. I barely see him smile, and he's laughing.

The plan was to stick my toe in and..
check the temperature but..
Next thing I know, I'm drowning

  Jazmine turned to me, smiling. I smiled back and she giggled playfully. "Huey's funny.. anyways, they've got some chips and juice boxes. Do you feel particularly parched? In need of a kookaid jammer?" I looked at her, placing my hand gently on her face.

  "Jazmine, to be honest.." I started and she looked at me. "Please don't say it." I sighed "Jazmine.." and she shook her head. "Don't." I nodded and let her go. "Okay." She sighed "are we good?" I smiled. "yeah. I knew I was being delusional." She nodded awkwardly "I'm going to go grab that kookaid jammer.. I'll see you in a second" she spoke softly and I nodded and smiled, watching her walk away.

🎵What makes you think I'm not in love
How could you know what's best for us
Why am I here, standing alone?
Cus I thought, I thought you wanted to dance..🎵
