Buried Treasure (a boondocks fanfiction)

Jazmine

Nyla pov
School was nice today. Everyone gave me nice birthday cards and wishes. When school was officially over I met my friends in the hallway and we went straight to our bicycles. We would've taken the bus but uncle ruckus was still the driver (he refused to retire) and we didn't want to deal with his internalized racism. It was my idea anyway since that Instagram picture of Solange Knowles at her wedding.
My best friends are Dasia Davis & Mia Caesar.
Mia and I had been best friends diapers given
that her brother & my sister grew up together too. It was just the two of us then Dasia joined us in preK and ever since we've been the terrific trio,the 3 musketeers, Destiny's child or the migos.
Mia has a very unique aesthetic and loved everything about art & nature. She had this unique personality and really long dreads and brown skin.
Dasia was really funny and the epitome of carefree black girl. She's always knew what she wanted,how to dress and wasn't apologetic about who she is. She had brown skin and you can catch in all the latest braids and weaves.
I was a complete introvert.
I liked my hair in its natural state and could get really creative with the styles. I was really into books dealing with feminism,black people and sometimes animals(they was really my guilty pleasure). I was the weird quite one but I was fine with that.
As we peddled away from the school they wanted to talk about everything. Dasia went first
"So I got some new make up last night from Sephora y'all wanna try it out?"
"Girl you know the beauty industry is a scam. It feeds off women's insecurities and lulls you into a false sense of reality and the ads gives girls false hope that's look like those girls. Besides They don't even make product for women of color." I explained to her.
"Girl shut up with all that PC bullshit! It's fenty anyway."
I perked up then. She knew I had a soft spot for Rihanna.
"Y'all let's talk about something else" Mia interrupted "Nyla? Tell us more about your sister?"
"Jazmine? Well I don't know what else to tell you. Other than she's perfect. I don't know her that well."
"What! That's your sister!" They both said in unison.
"Well she's hardly here"
"So?" Dasia response
"What do you mean 'so'? I forget I even have a sister sometimes."
"Well my brother Michael says she was always sweet and really innocent." Mia then Dasia said
"Yeah just tell us what you can. You always seem really excited when she comes. We only get to see her on your birthday dinners"
I sighed.
Here goes nothing.
"Well as you know she was friends with your brother, Cindy and uncle Reezy & his brother. She told me she & Dasia's mom Angela did ballet together . She grew up here in Woodcrest with them. When I was little she left for college and just 2 years ago she started working as a nurse at this hospital in the maternity ward. Every year for my birthday she always gets me a pretty charm for my bracelets but this year she said she has a big surprise for me. She is really sweet whenever she's here but she and my mom fight a lot I don't know why tho. Her and dad are really close. She always use to take me to the park when I was little and push me on the swings. Sometimes Jazmine calls me by my middle name like a nickname and I call her sissy. She has the tendency to be really loud, childish and obnoxious even but that's what makes her Jazmine DuBois. Sometimes I don't think she's even human. She's prettier than me and has a warming personality and nurturing. Other than being childish she absolutely flawless . She's like Beyoncé and I'm Solange. I don't think I'll ever be on her level."
Mia spoke up next.
"Well that's ok because you're OBSESSED with Solange and she sounds cool."
"Yeah the coolest."
"Didn't Reezy say she was boujee and they teased her by comparing her to Mariah Carey? Dasia asked me before Mia spoke.
"Michael said that too and said she had long thotie nails." Mia said then she giggled.
"I don't know about the boujee part but I do know she doesn't like doing anything she thinks will break a nail"
"Well if you ask us Solange is just as great as Beyoncé and you are too." Mia
"Yeah well nobody saw the greatness that was Solange until ASATT came along. Everyone was sleeping on her. She was just Beyoncé's crazy sister that beat up JayZ"
"Well think about it" Dasia continues "it's BEYONCÉ. Everyone is in Beys shadow even Kelly. You gotta be on some Rihanna type shit or release your own classic ASATT and make a name for yourself."
"Um....thanks Das. I think that insight helped........I almost feel better."
Actually it didn't help at all.
We finally made it to Timid deer lane and pulled into my driveway. Mia had to meet Michael at my house. His car was already parked at the Freemans. When we pulled up we noticed Michael was already standing outside and was talking with a man that was already staring at us and had a huge Afro and a confused look on his face while pointing at me.
"Yo MiMi, who is that with ya brother and what the fuck is he looking at our girl Ny for ? He's kinda fine from this distance." Dasia asked Mia
"I don't know but I'll ask Michael later"
Clearly Michael and this guy knew each personally because they did a little handshake after their conversation was over then the Afro guy went inside.
"Well I gotta go. I'll see you guys at the dinner party tonight with Michael"
Mia hugs us before she met her brother across the street. She put the bike in the back of his truck and they drive off.
Dasia lived 4 houses down but she's stay with us for the weekend because her parents was on a business trip all weekend.
Dasia and I entered the house only for me to get ambushed by Jazmine.
"Oh my birthday girl is here! Mommy and daddy are still cooking let's have some fun."
"JAZMINE! I can't breath and my friend is here"
She let go of me and looked at Dasia beside me.
"Oh I'm sorry,I just got excited about hanging out with my little Treasure. I remember you you're Dasia right?"
"Yes ma'am." Dasia shook her hand "I brought fenty beauty"
"Ooh I have that too." Then she turns to me "I didn't know you was into make up."
"I'm not but it's Rihanna so it's different. But we don't even know how to apply it on"
"That's ok I'll teach you come on"
We follow her to the guest room and she pulls out her make up bag.
She wanted to demonstrate on Dasia first. While starting on Dasia make over she asked us how our day went and how we like the new school year. Dasia really took a liking to her like they've been best friends all this time and had a lot in common.
Dad had called Jazmine downstairs for a favor leaving me alone with Dasia.
"Ok girl your sister is the bomb. Look how she beat my face? Sis where you been hiding her this entire time?"
"New York"
"Well I might have to kidnap her for you. you're really lucky to have her."
"Well I'm glad you like her, I just wish she was around us more. Her and my mom don't always see eye to eye."
"What's your moms beef?"
"To be quite frank I have no idea. They fight over everything."
"Well your moms trippin cause Jaz is everything. It's scary you two look similar too."
"Well duh! She is my sister."
"Yeah but your like a clone of hers."
"You stupid"
She laughed it off and threw her middle finger at me.
She was right tho. People use to tell me I was a tiny version of her. I did look like her I just wasn't as pretty or bubbly as Jazmine.
Dasia was right about something else to from earlier too. Maybe I can be Solange. Now that I'm 13 I can break out of the shadow and realize my own potential but how?
