little miss perfect. (Jazmine DuBois Fanfiction, gxg)

aftermath

Jazmine's POV

  I cannot believe Nefertari Hamidi just tried to confess feelings for me! Well- I'm pretty sure she was, it would've been the most perfect moment....

  I mean-I'm straight. I like boys! She knows this, she's known this since we were in eighth grade.

  But my face is burning up and it won't stop...

  We stood together as I ate a bag of chips and she watched me.

  "I uh.." she started then stopped. I looked at her and she sighed. "Are you still down for takeout?" I nodded and she rocked back and forth awkwardly.

  "Wanna sleepover?" I shifted my weight again "sure.." she smiled and walked away.

  I don't know why but, I got this feeling in my chest. Like a heavy feeling, like someone was sitting on me. I looked around anxiously and took a deep breath, sighing and trying to calm myself down.

But man, I think that hurt.
And well ,I don't know why.

  Then I saw her talking to another girl and I almost fell over....

I'M SO DRAMATIC GUYS!!! That's just my bestie. Ugh.

  I put a smile on my face and went to go talk to Huey, who was sitting down in a corner.

  "Did you see Nefertari?" He asked and I rolled my eyes "why do we have to talk about her, let's talk about us." I smiled and he looked at me suspiciously. "Uh. What us?" I rolled my eyes "you and me. As friends, Freeman!"

  He just stared at me and I rolled my eyes "I feel like we never talk." He continued staring blankly. "I see you every day.." he looked behind me and looked back at me.

  "You're jealous..." He smirked and I scoffed "for what? She can talk to whoever she wants. I don't even like girls." I crossed my arms and he nodded.

  "Yet every time I bring her up you know exactly what I'm talking about. Funny.." he nodded and stood up. " I think you should say something."

  "Whatever, Freeman." I rolled my eyes. "Let's dance.."

  "Why are you trying to make her jealous?"

  "I'm not. But if I was it's because she just tried to confess to me and now she's taking to other girls like she's fine and she doesn't care.." I took a deep breath and smiled at Huey. "But I'm not trying to make her jealous."

  "What do you mean.. tried?" He asked confused and I looked down, throwing my arms over his shoulders as he wrapped his arms around my waist and we stepped together

  "I stopped her, of course. Why wouldn't I." He smirked "because you know if she told you she liked you, you would be able to keep up your little perfect persona.."

  "Whatever.." I said, looking behind Huey at Nefertari and some other girl smiling and talking.

  It hurts more than it should. Especially because that's my friend.. and I rejected her, not the other way around...

AND I DON'T LIKE HER LIKE THAT!!!

  Huey looked at me with a smile. "you're holding onto me a little too tight..."

"Huey, I think I might like her."

  He nodded as he spun me around. "You gonna tell her?" I looked up at him and shook my head. "No.. I can't tell anyone. Especially not her. We can't be together- imagine what my dad would say!" I sighed, letting go of Huey. "I'll just ignore it and it'll go away.'

"You've been ignoring it for... Oh I don't know, three years?"

"Shut up, Freema6. I-I was just joking anyways, you know I don't like girls!"

  I rolled my eyes and walked away as he laughed at me.

>>Time Skip<<

  At 9, Nefertari came and nudged me playfully.

  "Hey.. Jaz" she smiled and I turned to look at her.

"Oh.. hey."

"Look, I'm sorry about earlier. I was being delulu and I shouldn't have tried to... You know."

  "No, it's okay. I mean, you like who you like. I can't blame you for that." I nodded awkwardly and she looked down. "I'm really more sorry for disappearing. You didn't deserve that.."

  "It's okay... Did you have fun?" I grabbed her hand and she nodded. "Would've been more fun with you... But yeah! Did you have fun?"

  "Yeah, I just hung around Huey mostly.." we stood together and she looked around awkwardly. "My mom is on the way, do you want to go outside?" I nodded and held her hand tighter as we made our way through the crowd to the door.

  "Still up for Chinese?" She asked and I nodded "can I still come over?" She looked at me and smiled "you're always welcome, you know that. We'll just ask my mom to swing by your house after we eat so you can grab some stuff, okay?" She said softly and I nodded.

  Her mom pulled up and we went outside. She opened the car door for me and helped me in before getting in the front seat and we were off.

  "Did you two have fun?" She asked and we both nodded. I buckled up and sighed. "I'm wiped. Can I stay over?" I asked and she nodded "of course. I mean, you already have a toothbrush at my house, you don't have to ask anymore baby."

  We got our food and went to their house, sitting in the living room and eating.

  "Ooh, you got shrimp fried rice?" Nefertari looked at my food and I nodded. "Want some?" I asked and she nodded, taking a fork full.

  After we finished eating, we sat up all night and just talked and watched movies. Something about her drew me....

What- it's totally platonic!
