Uh... as promised. Caesar needs sum luvn cos he's the most lovable character in the story (like REALLY!!)

OoOOOoOOoooOOOOoOOOoOOoooOOOOoOOOoOOoooOOOOoOOOoOOoooOOOOoOOOoOOoooOOOOoOOOoOOoooOOO

No one quite understood him. The things he said confused everyone, even his best friend. Nobody could understand that he was just proud of who he was. He would call out his home town and no one really got it. They'd just shrug him off. Whenever he'd ask if anyone else was repn' his home town, he got just blank stares.

He was kinda lonely.

For almost seven years, he was just lonely. It wasn't really fair.

Sure, Huey was his best friend and he always kept him company... but after Jazmine and him started "dating" things were just weird. Caesar hated going places with them and being stuck as the third wheel. especially since his crush on Jazmine had only grown bigger and bigger.

He started inviting Riley with them, but one day when they all went to see a movie, the ticketer politely asked, "Tickets for two?" insuating that Caesar was PAYING for Riley. You know. Paying for another guy? As if on...a DATE!

That ended that.

SO then, Caesar started asking Cindy... she was... well... just a head ache. Yeah. a Head ache was a good way of describing Cindy.

And since Caesar got tired of carrying tylenol in his pockets, he just stopped going places with Huey and Jazmine all together.

Like I said, he was getting lonely.

oOOoo

Caesar gulped in his seat as he watched her on this particular day. She was gorgeous in every way. His best friend's girlfriend was on stage, dancing like an angel. He couldn't help it. He'd been inlove with her since they were kids! How could he NOT feel this way now? Nothing had changed. They were all now in Highschool. Caesar would steal moments away with her on accunt of he would talk to her about things Huey would never find interesting. Truth was, Caesar was smitten and there was no cure.

It got much better when Caesar joined the theatr club with her. They played the leads in most of the school plays. Kissing Jazmine had happened more and more times than Caesar could count on his fingers. But each one was fruitless. She wasn't ever his.

The play they were currently working on was something a bit new. Called "Tender Sweetness," just a fluffy little musical involving a man who loves a woman who used to love him but lost all her memory. Quite sad,

"I can't love you," She stage whispered, "I want to so baddly... but I can't. If I could change the world... I would never have lost you," She dramatically dropped to her knees, kneeling infront of his sitting self and took his hands that were resting in his lap. She gazed her big green eyes into his mocha hazel ones and cooed gently, "Teach me to love you again,"

Caesar inhaled deeply. He bit his lip and gently tucked her hands out of his own, "I... can't get hurt again,"

"Cut!"

Caesar and Jazmine looked up to see their director with stars in his eyes, "That. Was. Amazing!! I AM just... ah! I am just FLOORED by the chemistry between you two!" He turned to the rest of the class and clapped his hands, "This is high class acting, people! People! Are you paying attention!?"

Jazmine giggled and looked at Caesar who forced a smile. It wasn't acting. Atleast... not from him.

The reason he was only casted with Jazzy was because Mr. Korikraft thought he was best with her. and that was true.

ooOOOoooOOOoooOOoOOoOOOoooO

Jazmine bounded out of the auditorium, followed by a casually walking Caesar.

"Hey, wanna go practice lines later?" Caesar offered kindly. Jazmine stopped and smiled really big at him.

"Oh yeah! I need to practice more for this one if I don't wanna be upstaged by you again," She teased.

"I never upstage you,"

"Are you kidding? You're like the best performer at this school..." She told him honestly, "But... I can't practice today. I have to go pick up my cousin from the airport. She's staying with us for the rest of the semester. She had to get away from her boyfriend... I think he was getting abusive,"

"Ouch," Caesar hissed, "where she from?"

"NewYork," She shrugged, hopping into her little car, "See you later!"

"Later," Caesar waved, getting into his own car and driving off.

ooOOOoooOOOoooOOOoooOOO

The next day at school, Caesar heaved a sigh as he watched the display at the locker next to his. Huey was reading a book, as usual, totally ignoring the girl speaking to him.

"SO anyway, when she comes you have to be nice, okay?"

"I'm always nice," Huey shrugged.

"I mean really nice," Jazmine urged, "She's been through a lot and-"

"Your cousins in?" Caesar asked casually.

"Uh huh and she's gonna be here soon," Jazmine smiled big, "She's in the office getting her stuff all set up,"

As if on cue, Jazmine let out a squeal and ran out to give the puzzled girl a big hug. She ushered her over to the two boys. Both Huey and Caesar were slightly floored. She was like the carbon copy of Jazmine, only her skin was just slightly lighter and her eyes were crystal blue. Her hair was less nappy and hung in thick waves behind her back. She was dressed in a fitted tshirt and capris jeans. A taxi cab hat on her head tilted to the side.

"Rose, this is Caesar and Huey, my boyfriend,"

Rose smiled and nodded slightly, "Nice to meet you both,"

She was very soft spoken, but she had an innocence to her that was refreshing. Huey cleared his throat and turned to Caesar, "Hey, I'm gonna get goin. We still up for tonight?"

"Sure Dawg," Caesar replied, bumping Huey's fist and heading on his own way to class.

oOOOooOOoOOOooOO

A few classes went by, and Caesar was heading into his fourth period class where he sat next to Huey. Instead of engaging in conversation with his bets friend, he opened up his text book to try and fudge his last homework assignments that he missed.

The class started, everyone taking their seats. Phew. Got those last problems answered just in time.

You see, what made this day so special was that it was just a usual day for everyone else. Caesar had given up starting the day with his usual, "Where Brooklyn at!?" a year ago when he realized that no one was answering back. He just took his seat like everyone else and kept his mouth shut.

But it was on this very day that he heard the loud voice proclaiming his own catch phrase.

"Yo!" Only in a much higher pitched and feminin voice, "Where Brooklyn at!? Is Brooklyn up in here!?"

Caesar's head shot up, along with the rest of the class, to stare at the cute new student with her hand in the air. She bashfully starting realing back, looking a bit humiliated.

"...anyone?"

"Yo!" Almost not believing his joy, Caesar leapt up, "Buk! Buk! Buk!"

"Michael!" The teacher snapped, "Stop that NONSENSE NOW!"

Caesar put his arms down to his sides and slumped back in his chair. A few snickers escaped from his classmates but he just smiled as wide as he knew how to himself. He peered over his shoulder with his friendly grin to spot the smiling brooklyn girl. She was sitting in another aisle, a few rows back. She looked alot like Jazmine, only her face was slightly paler and her hair, though thick and wavy, wasn't so nappy curly. Her eyes were crystal blue, making Caesar's heart swell.

She smiled back at him, he could tell by the shyness of her grin that she was probably a normally soft spoken person. The whole "Brooklyn" thing was typical of all who rep'd the place. Didn't make her any more or less shy than anybody.

Caesar fidgeted in his desk, stealing glances at the girl more frequently. Everytime he'd look, she was looking back at him. Damn, she was cute.

He received a waded up ball of paper to the side of the head by Huey, who was sitting next to him. Caesar looked at him who only grimmaced.

Caesar rolled his eyes. Huey had no room to critisize, seeing as he was always swooning over Jazmine. Before He could nail him back with his own wad of paper, the bell rang and everyone ushered out. Caesar stalled with his packing of books to get ahold of the girl he seemed to have so much in common with.

Brooklyn was a lot in the boondocks.

"Hey," He smiled at her. She smiled sweetly back and tucked her strawberry blond hair behind her ear.

"Sup?"

"I can't believe someone else from Brooklyn moved in," Caesar said with so much thrill in his voice, "I swear, I've been waitn for you for like... a year!"

Caesar realized how crazy that sounded and shook his heand, waving his hands slightly, "Wait... wait. What I mean was..."

"I get it," She smiled understandingly, "I nearly went crazy when I showed up here, though. These people are so..."

Caesar sighed, "Tell me about it,"

There was an awkward silence, giving Caesar time to shove his hands into his pockets and rock back once on his heel before asking, keeping his gaze to the side, "Uh... So you wanna get lunch together?"

"Sure," She smiled shyly, "It's... Caesar, right?"

"I think so,"

She giggled feverishly at what she thought was a joke, "You're funny. See you at lunch," She blushed, tucking her way out the door with nothing but the slight squeak of her sneakers on the waxed floor.

"Smooth," Huey snipped sarcastically in his friend's ear as he walked by. Caesar didn't care too much. He was still on air from meeting a Brooklyn girl, "By the way, it is Caesar,"

"Right,"

OoOOOoOOoooOOOOoOOOoOOoooOOOOoOOOoOOoooOOOOoOOOoOOoooOOOOoOOOoOOoooOOOOoOOOoOOoooOOO

Uh... yey! Isnt that sweet?
