Jazmine POV

I skipped happily up the hill hoping to find the strange new boy at the top. I reach the top to see no one there. I sighed plopping down. I laid with my arms stretched out letting the sun bath me in warmth, I grinned peacefully.

"Am I interrupting something?" I heard a familiar voice say, I shot up. "Huey!" I beamed. He raised his brow at me. "Uh I mean what's up" I blushed. He shrugged sitting down. "Just came up here to think, seems I just keep finding you" he smirked slightly. "Well that's not a bad thing" I smiled back. "Nor is it good" he responded pulling out a newspaper, I frowned at him.

He didn't seem to notice, he was to busy reading. "That wasn't rude at all" I frowned. "Was it supposed to be" he asked blandly flipping the page. " I was being Sarcastic " I said folding my arms. "I'm aware" he smirked. "Well then why did you asked that" I frowned. "You could have given a better indication that it was rhetorical" he said back still focused on the paper.

I looked at him in confusion, He sighed. "Do you not know what I'm talking about?" I shook my head "no no I do its just...." I stared scanning his face. He raised his brow seemingly doing the same. I felt my cheek brighten as I stared into his wine colored eyes. He cleared his throat snapping his fingers in front of my face.

"Jazmine" he frowned. "I...I..I" I studderd. I didnt know what came over me I was just so affixed on the boy."Jazmine " Huey said a bit more frustrated. I shook my head and looked away blushing. "I get what your saying Huey" I said softly. "what was that about" he raised his brow. "It's nothing" I said blushing harder.

I smiled at him innocently. "Yea OK" he said looking down at his paper.

Monday

I sat in language arts bored. I felt a tap on the shoulder. I tured around to the red headed girl. "Soo Jazmine I heard you know the new boy" she smiled. I nodded "yea what about it" I asked. She popped the gum in her mouth. "You know that afro boy, he's really cute " she grinned, I raised my brow.

"Can you do me a favor?" She asked. I shrugged. "Yea, can you tell me his name please" she batted her eyes. "Sure I guess, his name is Huey" I said back. "Thanks girly" she smiled. "One more thing?" She asked. I nodded, "back the fuck off of him gee thanks" she smiled. I frowned "what do you mean" "I mean stay away from him, I don't need your hoe ass in his face taking him away from me!" She hissed.

"What!" I felt my voice crack a bit. "First of all I'm not a hoe, and Huey is my friend how dare you say something so mean I've never even had a boyfriend!" I felt my eyes weld with tears. She giggled "oh yea why am I worried your ugly ass couldn't pull him if you wanted to, that's probably why no one wants to date you" she giggled.

My lip quivered and the bell rang and I ran down the hallway crying to myself till I bumped into something. "Jazzy what's the matter?" I looked up to see my Jamaica friend from Brooklyn Michael Caesar. I just hugged him wailing in his chest. "Um Jazmine " he said a but confused. I pulled away wiping my eyes.

"Jazmine" I heard Hueys voice ask. I looked up pouting my lip out tears still poring down my face. "Did you do something to her" Huey scowled at Caesar grabbing my wrist pulling me over to him. Caesar put his hands up. "Nah man she my friend, I just saw her crying" Caesar answered shrugging. Hueys let out a sigh letting me go. "But who are you might I ask" Caesar smirked .

Huey frowned a bit. "Um I'm friends with Jazmine, I just moved here with my little brother" he stuffed his hands in his pockets. "OHHH that's who everyone been talking about" Caesar said. Huey raised his brow "yo man these girls crazy about you and ya lil bro" he grinned. "I'm kinda jealous I gotta say" he smirked.

Huey looked at him a bit confused. "Just look around man" Caesar said. Huey did as told and looked at a group of girls the started to giggle and blush he did the same to another with the same response. "Hm Well I guess I didn't realize that" he said blandly. "You act like you don't care" Caesar said confused. "I don't" Huey said back with a blank expression.

Caesar stood dumfounded, Then the warning Bell run. "Guys I have *hic* to get to class*hic*" I hiccupped. Huey nodded so did Caesar. I walked to dance class hiccuping. I got there late but I didn't care. "Jazmine your late" my teacher said. I hiccupped still having tears in my eyes. "Jazzy what the matter?" Cindy ran up to me. My teacher looked at me "would you two like to talk in the hall" he asked sympathetically.

I nodded grabbing Cindys hand and taking her to the hall. "Yo girl what's da matter?" Cindy asked. "This mean girl told me I was a ugly hoe that couldn't pull anyone so I better back off of Huey" I sniffled. "Dafuq?" Cindy put her hands on her hip. "Girl you really gonna let that get ta ya, shit you could pull any nigga in dis place if ya wanted to" she smirked.

"Look her ass probably ain't got shit on ya and dafuq she gonna do ya don't back off she gotta problem tell her to come talk ta ya girl Cmruph " she grinned. I giggled hugging Cindy "your the best" I grinned.

Later at lunch

I walked into the cafeteria with my packed lunch and to my surprise I saw Huey talking to Caesar at my table. I smiled and walked over sitting down next to Huey while I waited for Cindy to get out of the lunch line. "Hi Huey hi Caesar" I greeted them. "Jazmine" huey said back "yo hey jazzy fresh" Caesar grinned.

I glanced at Huey who had nothing but a book in front of him. "Aren't you gonna eat Huey?" I asked confused. "I'd rather not eat that processed horse meat you call a "hamburger" " he put quotation marks with his fingers as he said hamburger. Caesar looked at his food and shrugged "well it's good horse meat" he said taking a bite making huey cringe.

I giggled a bit. Then that same girl from earlier walked over to my table shoving me a bit to make room for her to sit next to Huey "HEY!" I yelled angrily. She ignored me and I glanced at Caesar who shrugged. "Hiiii I'm Rebecca" she grinned at Huey. "Didn't necessarily need to know that" huey said still reading.

I smiled

I forgot Hueys sarcasm can drive her off

"Whatcha reading?" She twirled her hair. "Not without laughter by Langston Hughes" huey said as he continued to read. "Who's that?" She asked him. Huey seemed to get irritated "look Rebecca I have very little patience, shouldn't you be at a Starbucks complaining about how your dad won't buy you that new Corvette" he frowned.

Caesar started to chuckle a bit. "What! I don't want a Corvette my daddy won't buy me a Lamborghini!" She pouted. Caesar laughed harder and I started giggling. Huey pinched the bridge of his nose. "Please leave" he said plainly. "Bu- "dismissed" he said irritated shooing her. She huffed walking away "I'll get you mulatto" she hissed hatefully.

I waved and scooted back over to Huey. He grunted "I swear that girl has an IQ of 2" he grumbled. I giggled "well not everyone reads about stuff you do Huey" I smirked. "Do you know Langston Hughes?" He challenged. I smirked a bit because I did my research on him in language arts during black history month

"An American poet, social activist, play writer and novelist From Missouri" I grinned. "You forget communist, but very good DuBois you did your research" he said looking back at his book. I gasp "did the huey Freeman just compliment me" said sarcastically. "Yes he did, don't falter yourself" he smirked. "Ugh I can't ever beat your sarcasm" I pouted making hes smirked a wider.
