Broken Dreams

Thoughts

Huey shot up out of his bed, huffing and puffing. He looked around, not hearing any moving trucks. He got out of bed and went towards the window, no sign of anything.

Just a dream?

He sighed in relief, looking into one of his jeans pockets and taking out the image.

So I didn't crumple it.

Riley entered his room, grumbling. Granddad had forced him to go take him to the mall.

"Riley, where's Caesar?" He panicked.

"Caesar? Nigga he's still in Brooklyn, with his folks. What typa drugs have you been on?"

"Nevermind." Huey sighed.

"Ight well, Granddad forcing me to take yo ass to the mall. Wit me, C-Murph, and Jazzy."

"I'm not going." Huey said coldly. Just knowing Jazmine was gonna be there, he didn't wish to go.

"Ight den i'll go ask some other nigga. Maybe he'll agree to walk wit Jazzy to one of her favorite stores. Bye mothafucka." Just as Riley was about to leave, Huey stopped him.

"I'll go."

After what seemed like ages, each of them met up at Cindy's house. Jazmine stood close by to Riley and Cindy, scared to interact with Huey. "Now that we all here, let's go!" Cindy shouted, getting inside of her car.

Jazmine sat in the backseat with Huey, but didn't look his direction. This gave Huey the opportunity to examine her. She looked rather thin, wearing her hair in a singular low bun, wearing a pink sweater, a pair of leggings, and pink fluffy boots, with the necklace Riley had bought her around her neck. Glistening. Jazmine felt his eyes burning through her soft caramel skin, but she didn't turn once. Eventually Huey looked away, causing her to loosen up until they approached the mall. When they got inside, Riley had brought up a topic. "Y'know the schools all built up again right?"

"What?" Huey said, rather shocked.

"Ye, they said students can come back tomorrow. Seniors especially since, we needa finish to get them diplomas!" Cindy said excitedly.

"I'm still in 10th." Riley pouted.

Jazmine didn't say one word, only looked around at the stores. She saw her favorite place. Beauty Barn.
(It's a made up store okay let me live)

Jazmine grabbed Riley and Cindy and pointed. Riley smirked and looked at Huey. "Can you take her? I gotta go wit Murph to Zumiez. She need another pair of Vans."

Huey shrugged, noticing Jazmine's expression drop. When Cindy and Riley had left into the direction of Zumiez, Jazmine walked by herself towards Beauty Barn, until Huey caught up to her. "You need to slow down."

Jazmine shook her head, entering the beauty store. She want towards the hair care products, looking at all the hair accessories. She picked up a soft pink bow, smiling to herself as she also got a new hair brush. And plenty more. When she and Huey went to the cashier, the guy checked her out. "Is this all you'll be getting, princess?"

Jazmine blushed, nodding her head. Earning an eye roll from Huey. The guy noticed Huey, and froze. "Is he your boyfriend?"

Jazmine shook her head no, she grabbed his hand and took a pen and wrote her number on his palm. Also writing a mini note which said 'Not much of a talker.'

He nodded, and rung up her things. "$18.00"

Jazmine took out her credit card, though Huey silently put his $20.00 back into his pocket.
