Huey, would rather die than admitting it, but he missed Jazmine.

He didn't at first, actually, he relished on the idea of being left on his own and not having Jazmine breathing down his neck every ten minutes. But if he was honest, he had grown bored in the first day she was gone.

It's not like she had died, but she had spent the vast majority of the summer break over at New York in a fancy ballet summer camp. Huey tried to reason that this feeling was a product of his loneliness, seeing that Jazmine was the only other person his age whom he'd spend time with. Well he guessed that his brother counted too, but Riley wasn't exactly a joy to be around.

And Huey enjoyed himself around Jazmine. Of course, they were friends. They had been friends since forever, even if at first their friendship was a bit one sided.

His phone rang and he didn't even need to see the caller id to know who it was. "Hello Jazmine," He said, his voice lacking any discernible emotion as usual.

"Hi Huey!" She said in her usual excited tone, which perked up Huey a little bit. "Whatcha doin'?"

"Reading, you?" It had become a routine; Jazmine would call him every night while she was there. Huey didn't really mind it either, even though he hated talking on the phone, at least Jazmine wasn't completely gone.

"I'm packing!"Huey frowned, forgetting his book for a second to focus on the conversation at hand, something he rarely did.

"Packing for what?"

"For going back home, silly." She said. Huey's heart skipped a beat, which surprised him slightly. He wasn't expecting her to be back for at least another few weeks.

"Oh. Already?" She had told when when she'd be back, but he didn't pay much attention to most of the stuff Jazmine said.

"Well yes!" He heard her sigh. "I told you I'd be back by the last week of august, and that's good too, I can't stand being here anymore."

"Why? Wasn't it your dream or whatever the hell you said?" Huey only remembered that because she couldn't shut up about it ever since she first auditioned back in april.

"Yeah...You know, it wasn't like I expected it to be. I mean, I learned a lot but..." She hesitated, Huey heard heavy breathing on the other side and he knew Jazmine well enough to know that she was bout to cry. "Some stuff's been happening...I just really wanna get back home..."

"What stuff?"

"Just some stuff. I'll tell you when I get back, okay?" This was odd. Jazmine would never shut up about how she felt, she was very vocal about her feelings, even if Huey wasn't quite interested.

"Jazmine?"

"Huey?"

"You know you can tell me when stuff bothers you, right?" The line was silent for a minute. "I mean, that's all you do! Why hold back now?"

"Huey!" She snapped, taking the boy aback. "I said, I'd tell you when I got back." She said, in a tone that sounded much like his. "Anyway, I got you a gift!"

"Why? It's not my birthday that's coming up," huey could sense she was trying to talk her way out of his questioning, but he'd let that slide for now, not wanting to pry.
