It's a lot of new stuff going on for the Freemans..especially Huey. As he enters middle school, he has his friends, his family and his........Date?!? Huey also starts acting like a normal pre-teen and everyone even Riley and Grandad is suspiciously...
I was so upset that Huey wouldn't go to the dance with me or our friends. I wanted him to at least have some fun and not be at home doing nothing. But Riley was right, that's just how he is.
The dance was on Friday and me,Cindy,Brianna and Jalynn decided to go to the mall to pick out some outfits. We all decided to wear something red and pink since those are Valentines Day colors. We were in Justice looking at some cute outfits for the dance. "What about this one?" Brianna asked while picking up a cute dark pink dress. "It's so cute!" I said. I found some shoes to go with it and a headband with hearts on it.

"Brianna Amberlin, you are a genius." I told my friend. Brianna smiled. This was a perfect outfit for the dance and I couldn't wait to wear it. "It does suit you well Jazzy" Cindy told me. We all paid for our stuff and got lunch. It was Sunday afternoon and we decided to do this today even though Tuesday we had a day off. We went to the food court upstairs in the mall and sat down with all our stuff.
There were so many restaurants to eat from in the food court so me and Cindy got Tacos from Taco Bell (our favorite restaurant. I know I rarely eat anything that involves meat but tacos were my favorites.) Brianna got some chinese food from Samurai Eats and Jalynn got a burger and fries from Burger Palace. We all got our food and talked about "girl stuff" until Jalynn brought this back up to me. "So Jazmine, you still bummed that McHater ain't coming with us to the dance Friday?" She asked me. My smile turned into a frown. It didn't matter to me anymore if Huey didn't wanna go. It was his choice and I couldn't make him change it.
"To be honest Jalynn, I don't really care anymore." I said to her while I took a bite out of my taco. "Riley told me that's just how he is and that nobody can change that." Man, what could make Reezy say that?" Cindy asked. "I mean I know they brothers but Riley wouldn't give a single shit about Huey." She says. Cindy was right, Riley doesn't really care what his brother does or says but he's known him for nine years and the one thing is that Riley actually treats me better than Huey does as if he were my own brother.
"Well," Brianna began to speak. "The dance is on Friday and maybe by Thursday he'll probably change his mind and go without you knowing." He's probably playing a trick to see if your naiveness actually passed." Brianna said. She was right. I let a small smile pass my face. "Maybe your on to something Brianna." I told my friend. After we ate, we started heading out the mall. It was already 5:30 and I checked my phone to see if anything was sent. Below an instagram notification was a text from my daddy that had been sent to my phone less than two minutes ago.
T: Make sure your home by 6:30 honey. I can't wait to see your outfit for the dance!
I replied back to him:
J:ok daddy☺️and your gonna love what I picked out!
I turned my phone back off and put it back in my pocket. We were walking back home from shopping and it was 6:15. Cindy asked to stay at my house for a little while and I said yes. We walked on Timid Deer near our houses. Jalynn and Brianna had left already since we don't live on the same street. As we walked to my house, I turned around and looked at the Freeman's house across the street. I sighed. "Maybe my friends are right." I thought to myself. "What if Huey is playing tricks on me?" But then I thought it stupid enough to believe since Huey never jokes around.
Me and Cindy walked inside my house. My mom had to work today and wouldn't be home til 8:00 so only me and my dad were home. "Hey honey." my dad greeted me at the door. "Hey Cindy." What up Mr.Dubois." Cindy said to him. "So sweetie.."can I see your outfit?" my dad asked. "Sorry daddy." I said. "It's a surprise,I'll show you on Friday." I told him. My dad nodded and me and Cindy went up to my room. Cindy sat on my bed while I was picking out some red and pink nail polish so we can do our nails Thursday. "Yo ass just really wanna look cute for this dance." Cindy said. I laugh a little bit. Of course she was right. This is the third dance we had this year. First we had the Halloween dance, then the Christmas dance,and now the Valentines Day dance. I wanted to look my cutest. After all, I was a girly girl.
I finished sorting the nail polishes and told Cindy that she can come over to do them Thursday. After I put them on my dresser where I could find them,my phone rang and I picked it up. Cindy looked over my shoulder to see who it was. It was Riley, for some reason. I answered and put it on speaker so Cindy could hear. "Hey Riley." What up Reezy?" Me and Cindy said. "Y'all niggas won't believe what I'm bouta tell y'all!" Riley said to us. He sounded scared which made me and Cindy worried. "Is everything okay?" I asked,but I could tell everything was not ok. "Hell naw nothin ok!" Riley shouted over the phone. "What the hell happened?" Cindy asked. Riley put the phone on video call so we can see what happened. He went to him and Huey's room and we saw a note on Huey's bed that read:
I took your miserable sibling,grandson and friend. If you ever want to see him again, bring me his little friend Jazmine Dubois. I want to settle something with her. If she doesn't come,say goodbye to your retired domestic terrorist!
And with that, the three of us literally freaked.Huey was being held hostage by some strange guy and we don't know what they would want with me! "This was bad!" I said.
