CHAPTER 2

Jazmine

We're almost there. I can spot it a mile off. I can't wait to get up there.

The hill is where Huey and I like to go to all the time, just to talk or not talk at all. It's so beautiful. It's like you're in a totally different element. The peace there is so…exhilarating! I really can't put it into words. Just…if you were there, you'd know how it felt.

To me, anyways.

I know Huey likes it too, but I think he likes it for a completely different reason. While we both enjoy the tranquility, I also think that he goes there for a sort of relief. To let out some steam. I mean, he is a pretty angry guy.

Don't understand what I mean? Here's an example.

Last week, Riley and Huey were fighting. It had to do with something Riley wanted to do and, as Huey's told me countless times before, he tried to get Riley to stay home, rather than getting himself in trouble. When Mr. Freeman found them in the living room, with Huey putting Riley in a chokehold, he immediately blamed the whole thing on Huey. He thought that Huey was just being a meanie by nearly choking Riley to death, so he punished Huey without hearing his side of the story. Now, as much as I enjoy Mr. Freeman's company, that was messed up. Huey only tried to do what was best for his brother, even though it wasn't the most rational of ways, but he considered what he did 'tough love'. Hey, I'd rather have that than no love at all.

But yeah, after that he came over to my house looking heated, which by the way made him look all the more attractive, and without a word, he grabbed my wrist and led me to the hill. I felt uneasy. Not that I thought Huey would ever do anything to me, because he wouldn't. He's a good person, and he's a good friend. But, I didn't know what was going on. I always fear the unknown. That's just how I am.

So when we finally reached the hill, he leant against the giant oak tree and crossed his arms, overlooking the horizon. I stood next to him in silence. I didn't know what to say or do, but I was not about to leave him alone. Oh no.

It took him a while, but he finally turned to me, the fire in his eyes seeming to dissipate, and told me everything. With each word he spoke, it seemed that his demeanor had cooled down and soon he was in total relaxation. We ended up reclining on the ground against the tree that afternoon until my phone lit up and my parents told me to get inside.

But you get the idea. Huey goes to the hill to calm down and I go to the hill because, as I said before, it's indescribable. I appreciate the beauty and the feel of nature. I'm a weirdo, I know, but if a friend like Huey can accept me, than who cares?

I long since let go of the grip I had on Huey's arm. In actuality, I was sort of surprised that he didn't object to my grip, but I brushed it off. It's probably the heat. Any other time he'd do this annoyed sighing thing.

It doesn't take us long to reach the bottom of the hill, and thank God it isn't too steep.

Huey

As Jazmine and I walk side by side, admiring our surroundings, I notice that all the irritation I harbored not too long ago is abruptly disappearing. I can't really explain it, and I never knew why I've been so drawn to it since I was ten, but the hill is just such a…peaceful area. No annoying little brothers, no nosy neighbors, nothing.

Well, there is Jazmine, but she's my friend so it's whatever.

We finally arrive at our destination and sit down under the tree. I close my eyes to fully submerge into my thoughts.

But even up here, it's kind of hard to do so, considering the fact that it's…oh, I don't know…102 degrees outside! And this damn shirt is getting on my nerves! I silently curse myself and wonder just what the hell I was thinking. This isn't like it was in February when Jazmine sold lemonade and Uncle Ruckus got his ass beat by the white policemen he admires so much. This is June, the 21st to be exact. Sanity wouldn't return for a while, meaning my winter garments are extremely unnecessary right now. Shit. I guess the heat got to me already.

As much as I want to rip this shit off of my body, I can't. Jazmine's here and it'd be…pretty awkward. Not that I feel any type of way about her or anything, just saying. She's my best friend, so would it be appropriate for me to walk around her shirtless all day? I think not.

"Huey," I hear her call my name and open one eye. "What made you want to wear that shirt?"

Wow. Did she just read my mind? I open my eyes and look at her with a shrug. "I don't know." I admit. Jazmine giggles and scoots closer to me. I have no idea what she's doing, but she's a little too close.

"Uh,"

"Huey, you're so weird." She continues, laughing. "But, that's why I like you!"

"What?" I ask, not fully understanding what she's coming from.

Jazmine cocks her head in confusion. Probably confused as to why I'm confused. Only Jazmine.

"You're different, Huey. You're so weird, but you're so cool at the same time." She explains with a very bright smile. I know she brushes her teeth regularly, but damn. She's lucky my eyes aren't that sensitive.

"Care to elaborate?" I challenge.

"Well," She begins and cocks her head the other way. "Y'know…"

Okay, she's really getting on my nerves. "Just get to the point, Jazmine."

"But I don't know how to explain iiitt!" She whines. I roll my eyes. I swear I hate it when she does that.

She sits up a little and crosses her legs. Then she turns to me and leans her face closer to mine, so close in fact that I have to back up. Damn, can a nigga breathe?

"Jazmine, what are you doing? Back up." I tell her as I feel my back hitting the tree. She leans back again and giggles. I think she's trying to mess with me, but I'm not sure. And she calls me weird.

"Sorry, Huey. I just thought I saw something in your hair." She apologizes with a smile. I'm not sure if I should believe that but as I feel around in my afro, I feel something and it's small and hard. What the hell?

I pull it out and see that it's a bread crumb. Huh? I didn't eat anything today and all Jazmine had were those snow cones.

"There is something in my hair." I tell Jazmine, not waiting for her response. She looks at me with an 'I told you so' look and I roll my eyes.

Oh well. It doesn't matter. Who am I to trip over loose food particles?

"What is it?" She asks me after giving me that look.

"Find it out, genius." She rolls her eyes this time and puts her hand in my face.

"Whateverrr." Uh, yeah, she doesn't need to say anything like that ever again. It sounds too white.

"Don't say that again."

She rolls her eyes again and then starts smiling again. I have no idea what's going on in her head.

After ten minutes of total silence, I start to get up. This isn't working. Once again, it's too hot.

"Where are you going?" Jazmine nearly panics.

I shake my head. "Calm down, Jazmine and I don't know." Honestly, I don't know where I want to go but it won't be far. I might go home and lock myself in my room with the AC on full blast. Who knows?

She gets up too and I inwardly groan. Don't get me wrong, now. I like Jazmine and all, but she doesn't need to follow me around all that time. It makes her look needy and that's…kinda sad.

Wait, did I say I like Jazmine? Well, you know what I mean. Not like like her, I like her as a friend. Just trying to clear that up before you run and tell Riley some fairytale.

Anyways, as I walk down the hill, she catches up to me and giggles again.

"What's so funny?" I ask. Why does she laugh at everything I do? I'm not funny.

She shrugs. "Nothing."

"Whatever." I say with a roll of my eyes.

"Let's go to Cindy's pool." She insists and I stop walking to give her a look. It takes her a minute to realize I'm not walking with her anymore and turns around to face me. "What?"

"Really?" I ask in a flat tone.

"Aw, c'mon Huey. Cindy's cool."

"So is Alaska, but I don't see anyone tryna go there." Jazmine laughs.

"You're not funny."

I raise my eyebrow at her. "Then why are you laughing?"

"Shut up." She says, still laughing. Huh. Guess I am funny. Who knew? In no time, we start to walk down the hill. I don't tell her this, but I guess it'd be okay to go to Cindy's. It's hot as hell, so why not?

"So where are we going?" She asks.

"You just said you wanted to go to Cindy's." She squeals and hugs me which kind of annoys me, and kind of doesn't. It's actually kind of cute.

"Aww, you're the best!" she says and lets go of me. "So I'll meet you at your house after I change."

I just nod. We continue walking until we reach our street and go our separate ways.

Jazmine

Now I am the farthest thing from conceited. I disapprove of the jocks and stuck up cheerleaders at school…I just cannot stand arrogance. People like that just care about themselves.

But if I do say so myself, I look pretty good in my new swimsuit! I guess I'm not being conceited, more like confident, but whatever it is, I still look good. The bottoms are black and the top has a black background with green and yellow palm tree designs on them. It's kind of like a halter, so the black strings tie at the base of my neck and my upper back. It's so cute! And it was on sale at Forever 21 for five dollars. God surely does work miracles.

I can't just walk out the house like this though. Daddy would have a fit. Aside from my mom, I have what people would call a 'black girl figure', and I'm not gonna lie, boys do stare. I won't tell Daddy though. I'll never be allowed to go swimming again! My butt is kind of big, but it wasn't always like that. I think it got bigger right around New Years. My chest size isn't too big or too small. I wear size 34 C so…yeah. Daddy doesn't like that I've fully grown since last year.

I put my shorts back on and throw on my black gladiator sandals. Hmm, maybe I should put on a shirt just in case my dad complains about me not having one. He really needs to leave me alone sometimes.

Anyways, I throw on my white tank top and grab my towel and bag before heading out. I hope Huey's ready.

Huey

Honestly, do I need to wear a shirt? I mean, what's the point? We're going to Cindy's pool. It's hot, so I doubt people would complain if they see me walking around shirtless. I don't normally do anything like that…well actually, I never do anything like that, but who cares? Going to the pool is my excuse for not wearing a shirt, so I'll go with that.

But Jazmine though? How will she take it? I mean, I don't think she likes me like that or anything, but she's never seen me just walk around shirtless. I'd be awkward for her.

Oh well, I'm doing it anyways.

I got these black swimming trunks on. I had it for years but it's still in good condition; probably because I barely go swimming.

I walk over to my closet to find some black Nikes and I throw them on. Just then, Riley busts open my door and walks in uninvited. And yeah, you heard me right; my door. Two years ago Riley and I convinced Granddad that we should have our own rooms and he surprisingly accepted it. Still doesn't stop Riley from barging in for no reason. He just does it to spite me.

"Get out." I immediately command, not even looking at him. Damn, where'd I put that towel?

"Nigga, where you goin'?" He asks as he sits on my bed and ignores what I said. I roll my eyes before looking over by the computer and surely enough, my towel's sitting right on the back of the chair.

"Nowhere." I don't want him following me. I walk over to pick up my towel and throw it over my right shoulder.

"Nigga don't lie. You got on swimmin' trunks and a towel. You goin' to the beach and you ain't even ask if I wanted to go!" He complains and I sigh heavily.

"Riley, leave." I tell him before turning off my computer. He huffs and rises up off my bed. Good.

"Whateva, nigga. Yo' ol' Kunta Kinte' lookin' ass." He mumbles before I hear my door slam shut. I sigh. Riley could be really sensitive sometimes. And the fucked up part about it…I actually feel bad for him. Great.

I sigh again. "Riley!" I yell. "I'm goin' to Cindy's. Jazmine insisted we go. You can go too, if you wa-"

I'm cut off by my door thrusting open again and Riley standing in the doorway with his black and red swimming trunks, black shades, black Jordans, and a bright smile. Damn, that was quick.

"Nigga, what you waitin' fo'? Let's go!"

I roll my eyes and walk out the door. "We gotta wait for Jazmine."

And that's when the doorbell rang.

"And she hear now, so bring yo' ass!" Once again, I roll my eyes at my brother's excitement. And something tells me he's not just happy to get in the pool.

I know he and Cindy got something going on.

Riley

Hell yeah, nigga I'm hype! I ain't been in the pool since Spring Break! I'm sick of goin' to the beach for real. All that salt be dryin' a nigga's skin out and shit. I hate that. And I don't want to be swimmin' with no fish. No sir.

I'm glad Huey ol' gay ass invited me, but either way I was gon' go to Cindy's before the summer was over. That's my nigga right there. As much as she frustrated me by beatin' my ass in basketball, she cool as hell. She ride for me and I ride for her. She a down ass bitch.

And sexy as hell too. Don't tell nobody I said that though. She may be fine, but I just look at her as a friend. That's it!

So we walkin' down the sidewalk and shit and Huey and Jazmine behind me talkin' about somethin' I don't care about. I can't hear 'em no way, but I bet his nerd ass talkin' about politics and shit. Nigga, shit's gonna go on whether you put in your two cents or not. You can't undo shit that happened hundreds of years ago. I try tellin' his punk ass that, but he don't wanna listen. Oh well, keep gettin' yo' feelings hurt then.

But aside from that, I think that nigga like her. I be seein' how annoyed he gets when she talks about stupid shit, but he always hangin' around her ass. Them niggas best friends, and for what? I don't know. Before Jazmine, Huey ain't never hang wit' nobody like her. He used to hang with niggas like him. Nerds. Now he hangin' with this annoying white girl wannabe. Ain't no other excuse, he like her ass. I don't know why, but whateva. All I know is if he ain't hittin' that by the end of December, he will officially be labeled as a gay ass nigga.

Anyways, lemme call Cindy. I can't wait to get to her house and eat up all her tacos again. She be throwin' down on them shits.

Jazmine

I swear just a minute ago when Huey opened the door, I was going to pass out. Why does he not have a shirt on? Not that I'm complaining! It's just weird. He never does that. It is pretty hot outside though.

We're on our way over to Cindy's and I just cannot keep my eyes off of him. Oh man, look at his abs. They're so perfectly chiseled. And so is his chest. Oh God. I'm drooling over here. He's talking to me about something, but I can't hear him. I'm hypnotized by his, dare I say it, sexy body. Lord, take me now!

"Jazmine." He calls and finally gets my attention. My eyes avert from his chest to his face. "You even listenin' to me?"

I nod, but we both know that's not true. I turn away and a blush creeps on my face. I try to ignore my thoughts, but if I look at him, that just wouldn't be possible.

"No you're not." He knowingly says in a dry voice. I cringe as I feel his eyes on me, but I don't turn around. I don't respond and he just sighs.

"…Why are you acting so weird?" He inquires. I shrug, and still turn my head to look at the red Honda that just passed by. He sighs again. "Whatever."

The silence between us is awkward and Riley's ahead of us talking on his phone with Cindy, I think. He doesn't really have any other friends so I just assume it's her.

I break the silence however to ask a question that's been bothering me.

"Huey, why aren't you wearing a shirt?"

I still don't look at him, but instead of fully turning from him, I look straight ahead at Riley. I feel him eyeing me though. God this is so weird.

"Why would I? It's hot as hell out here." He sounds a little annoyed at me, but that's nothing new.

"It's just…" I begin and giggle before continuing. "I didn't think I'd ever see you walking around shirtless." It's cute.

"Glad you find me attractive." He sarcastically responds and I freeze as I realize, I said he was cute aloud. I thought I thought that part. I just giggle again, but nervously this time.

"Hehe, yeah." Darn that blush! It's back again.

We don't say a word until we get to Cindy's house. It's Riley who decides to barge into her home as if he's allowed to do that. What's up with him doing that anyways? Huey and I follow him and we all run right into Cindy.

"What up, niggas!" She bellows as Riley and I hug her.

"Hey Cindy!"

"What's good C-Murph!"

Huey just nods and walks right past her. "You love me, nigga!" She turns to him and smiles. Huey rolls his eyes and the rest of us laugh.

"Aiight, so I made some nachos and tacos, I bought the fruit tray with the cheese and a I got Pepsi, Coke, 7-Up,"

"Water?" Huey asks in a bored tone. Cindy waves her hand in the air.

"Nigga, drink from the sink. I don't care!" Riley snickers and Huey just rolls his eyes once again.

"You laughin' now, but once your metabolism slows down, don't be lookin' at me. I ain't gon' help you."

"Oh, nigga shut yo' bitch ass up!" Riley crudely yells as I hit him in the arm. "Damn, bitch-" This time, I hit him in the back of his neck. "Ow!"

"Watch your mouth!" I warn him and for the first time in a long time, I catch Huey smiling in amusement. Wow, he looks so cute doing that. The last time he's done so was at Riley's basketball game when we were ten. He really needs to do that more often. *Sigh*

I smile back at him and he quickly hides his smile. Aww! I grin wider in amusement.

"Yeah, so," He tries to turn his attention away from me. "If that's all, I think there's a pool waiting for us." He turns on his heels and walks out the back door. I shrug and smile and follow him out.

Huey

For the first time in a long time, I want to laugh. I want to laugh my ass off. I knew this would happen. Jazmine feels so awkward around me now and she can't even look me straight in my face. It's not like I'm completely naked or anything. I don't get why she's all flustered.

It's kind of cute to see her react the way she's reacting, I must admit. Like is said before, I don't look at her in any type of way. We're friends, but is it really a crime to acknowledge the fact that Jazmine is a beautiful young woman? I think not. I just…y'know…wouldn't say that aloud, 'cause she'd just take it the wrong way.

Anyways, the both of us are outside in Cindy's backyard and I cannot even begin to explain the relief that's washing over me right now. I need to cool off. This sun is kicking my ass.

As I walk over to one of the chairs, I take off my shoes and socks and put down my towel. Jazmine walks beside me and does the same with the chair next to me, and God knows I'll be lying if I say I'm not in awe as her shorts drop, right along with my jaw.

Damn. Where'd all that come from?

My eyes widen as I realize I'm gawking right at her, for lack of a better term at the moment, ass and I look away. Really, I don't think I've ever seen Jazmine look like that. Last year her body didn't look as…fully developed. It looked a little prepubescent, but as of now, I think she grew out of that. Goddamn, I'm actin' like a nigga right now. I need to stop.

I look at her again and curse myself as those thoughts reenter my brain. She's currently pulling her tank top over her head and I can't help but scan her entire body. What the hell is wrong with me?

"So, Huey," She starts talking and I automatically stop staring at her assets. Instead I look at her face as she finally takes that shirt off. "Are you going in?"

I assume she's talking about the pool water so I shrug. "Yeah, just waitin' on you." Stupid answer, stupid answer!

"Oh, okay." She says with a smile. "Well let's jump in." I shrug again and we both walk on the side of the pool. "On the count of three," I nod.

"One,"

She does this slowly and I roll my eyes. Only Jazmine.

"Two,"

She does it slower this time as if I'm a little kid. "Jazmine, why a-"

"THREE!"

And just like that she pushes me in without hesitation. Damn, what the hell!

"JAZMINE!" I yell once I reach the surface. The water had to be about six feet deep.

She cracks up and hunches over. "Sorry…sorry, Huey…" she says in-between laughter. What is she apologizing for? She knows she's not sorry.

"Sorry Huey, my ass." I mutter. She just doesn't stop laughing. "You're lucky I can swim."

"Aww, poor baby." She does this fake pouting thing that irritates the hell out of me.

"Shut up and get in before I pull you in." I threaten. "And believe me, it'll be a far worse experience than what you just did to me."

She still laughs and jumps in right beside me. When she comes up, she has the widest grin I've ever seen on her face. I roll my eyes and swim over to the side that read 4'0". I'm not really trying to swim around.

Jazmine

Aw, he's upset. Hehehe. So what else is new?

I swim over to his side and splash water on him. He groans and looks my way.

"Jazmine, grow up." I frown slightly. He thinks I'm immature?

"You think I'm immature?" I ask and splash more water on him before smirking. He rolls his eyes and leans his back against the wall. His chest is up above the water and I can't help but notice the drops of water rolling down it. Ohh, I hope he doesn't notice me staring!

"Sometimes." He admits. I shrug. Well he doesn't mind having me around so, who cares! I can be as immature as I want!

I notice that he's not doing anything but sitting there….looking all cute…uh, I mean, sitting there looking bored out of his mind. Yeah, that's it.

"Huey," I move on the other side of him and sink lower so that my head is the only part of my body above the water. "Don't just sit there. Do something." I try to persuade him.

"You want me to do something?" he asks and turns his head to me. I smile at him.

"Yeah, you look bored."

He blinks at me for a second and I have to wonder what he's thinking. Then,

SPLASH!

Oh my God! Oh my God! He just splashed water in my face! Ugh! It went all up my nose and everything! I am going to kill him!

As I hurriedly rub my eyes to clear my vision, I look around to see no one there.

"Huey." I softly call out. "Huey!" I yell. Dang, he's fast! I hope he's not in the house. I don't want to be alone out here and I have no idea what Cindy and Riley are doing, but I don't think they'll be out here anytime soon.

"Huey!" I call out again. After a few seconds I give up, until I am suddenly pulled by my legs underwater.

"AAHH-" I begin to scream until I'm completely submerged into the water. My eyes are closed and I have no idea what's going on, but y'know what? I bet Huey's behind this.

I feel the hands lose the grip on my legs and I swim up to the top. 4'0" isn't deep, but I panicked so much from the sudden pull that I immediately popped up out the water.

Breathing heavily, I look ahead of me, trying to find Huey once again. Then I hear a voice clearing up and I turn around to find Huey back in his spot against the wall, with a smirk on his face. As cute as that smirk is, I'm determined to wipe it off. That wasn't very funny.

"HUEY FREEMAN!" I yell as I march…well, quickly swim, over to him. "That WASN'T very nice!"

He holds his hands up in mock defense. "What? You said I should do something, so I did."

I glared at him. "NO! I didn't mean to splash water in my face and practically drown me!"

"Hey, you splashed water on me."

"Not in your face!" I'm mad now. "You jerk! I splashed water on you to get you to move around!"

He does that stupid eye rolling thing and right now, I really want to rip those out of his sockets! Just as I'm about to continue the argument, I sneeze. Awesome.

"Way to go, Huey. I have water in my nose because of you! Now I have to sneeze!" He shook his head.

"Jazmine, stop overreacting."

I continue to glare at him. "You're mean. You know that?"

He raises his eyebrow. "Jazmine, stop whining. You pushed me into the pool and thought it'd be cute to splash water on me. I told you you wouldn't like what I'd do to you and at first I didn't plan on it, but after you told me to do something, that's what I planned on doing. So just call it even and calm down."

I roll my eyes and swim away from him. As much as I like being around him, he can really get on my nerves sometimes.

Dayum! Huey that was messed up!

Like it? Love it? Hate it?

REVIEW! :) Thank ya!
