It would be Huey's first real day of work today, right after school of course. And again, Jazmine refused to be left alone, and the manager didn't seem to care. I'm fact, sometimes she was thankful of Jazmine, as she was willing to talk to customers and such. They seemed to like her too.
  Huey didn't exactly disagree with her being there. He liked it too, even though it didn't really benefit him.
  "Huey, how much would these markers be with your employee discount?" Jazmine asked, sitting next to him with a pack of candy scented felt markers in her hand.
  "Jazmine, I just started working here. I don't need you to spend money before I even make any." He replied nonchalantly, stamping the price onto a stack of paintbrushes he had under the counter.
  "So mean.." She grumbled, looking through her pocket for loose change. To  her dismay, she found only lint, and the wrapper of Huey's favorite gum. It didn't have much of a flavor, to Jazmine at least. It was supposed to be TeaBerry flavored. Whatever the heck that was.
  "Go throw that away," he said without looking to her, stamping the pink sticker onto pack after pack. At this point, the store was pretty empty, unusually so. So they were left to busywork, and the manager did tasks of her own in the back. She rarely did come out, and her door was usually locked.
  After a minute, Jazmine grumbled and got off her stool to look for a trashcan, sticking her tongue out at him.
  As she was walking, or searching, Jazmine bumped into something, or rather, someone as she hadn't been paying attention.
  "Oh, sorry.." The voice who had bumped into her said. It was the other guy that worked here- Steven. Jazmine still didn't like him much, so she was ready to blow him off before he touched her arm with red cheeks.
  "Hey.. Is that guy your boyfriend?"
  "You mean Huey? No. That's my best friend." She frowned, waving his arm off.
  "Oh.. So, you wanna go and-
  "Jazmine, hurry up." She heard Huey call and gripe. Wiggling her fingers to Steven, she bounced back to Huey, shoving the gum wrapper back in her pocket, along with the thought of the line he was about to use with her.
  "Yea?" She asked, leaning on the counter, her back in the air.
  "Are you hungry?" He asked, putting his price tagging gun down. "We can eat now, or when I get off in about an hour or two." The manager had hired two other people yesterday, but one was sick, and the other wouldn't start until next Monday. However, since everything was going so slow, Huey imagined that Strven and the manager could handle on their own for a bit.
  "Where is there to go around here?" She asked, her stomach suddenly growling with hunger for something sweet.
  "I don't know.. I know there is a Olive Garden.. Steak and-
  "There's a sweet bakery around here." Steven bumped into the conversation, with a crude smile at Huey.
  Huey only looked at him with a 'What the hell is your problem,' glare. Being the person that he was, he only went on with more information on the place.
  "Can you go the hell away?" Huey griped, taking his badge off, to clock out in the back.
  "Hey fagget, don't get mad at me. It's not my fault that your girlfriend is not that into you." He shrugged, with a snarky grin as he looked to Jazmine, who mirrored back with a ghost like face.
  He didn't know that Huey would snap a niggas ass in a second.
  Looking back, Huey glared to Steven with clenched fists, which Jazmine quickly held in her own, pulling him away with her other hand at his back. She could feel the tightness of his muscles that it took to walk away. He wasn't even mad at what he had said. Just plainly annoyed.
  "Friggin A-Hole!" Jazmine squealed back, walking with Huey quickly.
   "Man, that guy got this close to getting pounded.." She breathed, as they got a bit farther away. Huey stopped letting her push him, and slowly turned to her side. Leaning down and grabbing her chin, he pressed his soft brown lips to hers, Steven watching in disgust, or maybe envy. Once he pulled away, and Jazmine was dazed, he nodded in the direction of Tyler.
  "Think she might be into me, man." And with that, he grabbed her hand and walked off with her.
  "Huey!" She squealed pressing her feet to the ground, though since she was weak, did nothing. 
  "What?" He snapped, turning to her. He looked livid.
  "H....Huey..?" She repeated, this time backing up a bit.
  He closed his eyes for a second, then shook his head. "I'm sorry, J.. That guy is just... A nuisance.. " He only called her that when he was sure he fucked up. While Jazmine tried to figure out was a nuisance was, he walked up closer to her, and stood there for a moment. She wrapped her arms around him quickly of course, because if she loved anything, she loved hugs. Though it was hardly a hug, since he would never hug back.
  "Kay. I wanna milk shake." She grumbled, pushing him away and running to his car. "MILKSHAKE, NOW!!!" She demanded, slamming the door closed after getting in.
  Shaking his head, he walked to the car himself. "I don't wanna buy a damn milkshake.."

~Thirty minutes later~

  "Thank you for the milkshake, Huey~"
Jazmine smiled brightly, taking another sip of her melting cannula milkshake, to continue to say, "I promise- I'll pay you back this time."
  Huey only shook his head. He knew she didn't have any money. "Don't worry about it. If I make you pay me back, you're not gonna be able to get the money, and you're going to cry. It's fine." He grumbled, poking at his weed of a salad. They had gone to some fast food restaurant where grease was literally coated on everything. He was lucky to have gotten that, as bad as it was. But Jazmine was happy, so he was too. Well- as happy as a Huey can get.
  "What're we gonna do after work?" She asked, poking around with her straw in her shake at the cherry.
  "I have an essay- on how the black woman struggles more than any other person in America." He said plainly. It was extra credit for his history teacher, which was likeminded as Huey. As if he needed extra credit though, with a 97%.
  "Oh.. Well there is a new episode of Teen Titans Go-
  "No. That show is shit." He rolled his eyes, moving to throw away his uneaten salad.

~Later that night in Huey's room.~

  *Teen Titans Go music playing lowly*
  "Jazmine turn that damn shit off."
