Okay, I don't know if I should just let this be a one-shot, but maybe it could be a story? Idk, so I'm just going to leave it the way it is until I get positive feedback. :) I kinda like it as a one-shot though…
Huey Freeman doesn't eat sweets. Why? Because he can't. He can't tolerate sugar…at all. When's the last time you ever seen him consume an ounce of sugar anyway? Exactly.
"Do you want some of my ice cream Huey?" Jazmine asked with a grin. Huey rolled his eyes. She was teasing him.
-Flash Back-
Two years ago, around the end of the year, eight year old Riley Freeman threw an unwrapped peppermint at Huey. Riley was angered at him for some dumb reason that's still unknown to this day. Well, the peppermint landed in Huey's mouth and after that, all hell broke loose. In a blink of an eye, Huey was bouncing off the walls. Granddad and Riley could only watch as their relative lost his marbles for the first time in history. What a tragedy. Huey went straight to Granddad's stash of chocolate in the kitchen and demolished it. Another tragedy. "My expensive chocolates!"
-End of Flashback-
"Jazmine, you know I don't like to be laughed at. Remember the kickball game? Huey said. Jazmine went into a fit of giggles. Huey shook his head as they rounded a corner. They were heading to the nearest candy store so Jazmine could buy her mother something for Mother's day. "You think I should get her chocolate? Or maybe licorice! EW, no, licorice is gross. Maybe a box of caramelized candy apples! That would be yummy right?" Jazmine rambled on, her eyes glistening with excitement. "Then I could buy her a stuffed animal to go with her candy! Maybe a pony! You'll think she'll like a stuffed pony Huey?" Jazmine said in one breath. Huey shrugged his shoulders and looked around for the candy store.
"There it is!" Jazmine yelled happily as she dragged Huey to the store. Once inside, Jazmine walked to the front desk with a hint of confidence and looked the cashier in the eye. "I need a box of your finest chocolates please" Jazmine said to the cashier. "I'm sorry. We don't have any more chocolate" the lady said the Jazmine without the slightest bit of sympathy. Huey tried no the let the swirling fragrances from the candy distract him. His frown registered as he tucked his nose in the hem of his scarf. He waited impatiently as Jazmine went into a long speech about how she came all the way here from her neighborhood with her best friend Huey and couldn't even get a box of fine chocolates. That's when Huey's nose got hit with a huge wave of caramel and nearly fainted. God it smells good in here, he thought. "Jazmine, hurry up!" Huey yelled from the back of the store, his voice muffled by the scarf. Jazmine gave him a "Shut-Up-Before-I-Beat-Your-Ass" look. Huey rolled his eyes and fought the urge to drag his best friend out of the store by her hair puffs.
The cashier gave Jazmine an annoyed look. "Hey buddy, buy your girlfriend some gummy bears so she can get out of my face" the cashier said to Huey. Huey's eye twitched from her sudden comment. Control yourself Huey. "C'mon Jazmine, were leaving" Huey said as he ushered Jazmine out of the door, glaring at the cashier. Girlfriend. That was the word she used? "Where are we going now Huey?" Jazmine asked, her cheeks glowing a bright pink. "Home. You and your dad can just take your mom out to eat tonight" he said as he ushered Jazmine down the sidewalk. He had to get as far away from that candy store as much as possible. He wished he hadn't went in the first place. The only reason her went was to make sure Jazmine was protected. Maybe that's a sign. "Huey, do you think of me as your girlfriend?" Jazmine asked innocently, making Huey stop and look at her. Whoa…where did that come from? "Jazmine, did you really mean to ask that?" he asked cautiously. Jazmine nodded and looked down at her shoes shyly. Huey blinked slowly to see if he was dreaming. Nope, this was not a dream. Huey rolled up a coat sleeve to look at his watch before lips softly pressed against his. Jazmine Dubois was actually kissing him? What has this world come to? When Jazmine finally pulled away, she looked at Huey and bit her lip. Her cheeks were glowing in a deep red. Oh the irony.
