Many people always wondered how Huey and Jazmine ended up as a couple. The two had been together for a year now. Jazmine remembered the story perfectly.
It was the beginning of their junior year of high school. Jazmine waited at the lunch table and waited for her usual group; Huey, Cindy, Riley, and some other people. She had some exciting news to share with everyone. Excitement was running through her blood.
"Hey Jazzy!" Cindy slid next to her. " You look happier than normal."
"I have some...news to share." Jazmine twiddled her hair.
"Oooh I can't wait! The boys better hurry up and get here!"
Huey and Riley walked through the doors of the cafeteria and sat down at their designated table. Riley noticed Jazmine's face before Huey did.
"Yo Mariah. " Riley spoke up " Your face is red like a tomato."
"Well…" Jazmine giggled and pulled out a note, "Someone left this in my locker…"
Huey reached over and read the note.
" Dearest Jazmine, I have been crazy about you since elementary school. I know this may be a long shot because I'm kind of a nobody here, but I would love to take you out on a date." Huey's voice cringed when he read the last sentence. " If interested, please meet me behind the gy. - Your secret admirer.
" Well that's interestin'" Cindy laughed " So you gonna go?"
"Of course-" Jazmine started to speak but was quickly cut off by a furious Huey.
"Absolutely not! She doesn't even know this person! It could be a prank or some creep trying to get into her pants!"
"Huey." Jazmine sighed " You read the news too much." ll
"Well, you read too many romance novels to think this person is serious about you!" Huey snapped. " You're so naive!"
" Excuse me!?" Jazmine raised her voice slightly
"Ah shit, here we go again." Riley grumbled. Even though Huey and Jazmine had grown closer over the years, they always bickered like an old married couple. Jazmine would do something Huey didn't agree with,which always ended up with him calling her "immature."
" Look Huey, you are NOT the boss of me." Jazmine pinched her temple " I already get controlled enough by my dad, I DON'T need it from you too." She then got up and left the table. Cindy rolled her eyes and proceeded to follow Jazmine.
"Damn nigga, you fucked up now." Riley laughed.
Huey rolled his eyes " I was just trying to protect her."
"Or." Riley took a bite of his sandwich " You just don't want another nigga hittin her up."
"Don't be stupid!" Huey snapped. " Of course I don't have a thing for Jazmine. Way too happy and childish and naive-"
"Suit yourself man." Riley cut him off.
After school -
Jazmine waited after school like the note instructed her to. Around the corner was a small, frail boy named Phillip. Phillip had worked with Jaz and Riley with the fundraiser back in Elementary school. She was always nice to him, even when the other kids weren't. She was also the most beautiful girl in school. He was just a shy weakling who always got picked on.
"Oh who am I kidding." Phillip sighed. "She's too good for me." He started to turn and walked away, but was face to face with Huey Freeman.
"Ah, Huey!" He jumped. "You scared me!"
" I take it you're here to meet Jazmine?" Huey asked, his facial expression not changing.
"Well, yes- I mean, no, I mean...I was." Phillip stuttered, looking at the ground. "She's too beautiful for me though."
"I can agree with you on that. She is beautiful." Huey admitted. " But don't tell anyone I said that, I will hurt you."
"G-Got it! "Phillip stuttered "So you like Jazmine too?".
Huey shrugged in response.
"Then maybe you should have her. " Phillip smiled weakly. " You're better looking and stronger than me. She deserves a guy like you."
Before Huey could protest, Phillip had already run away. He looked over at Jazmine , who was still waiting. The look in her eyes were slowly drooping, as if she was about to cry. Huey hated to see her cry. He shook his head and walked over to her. "Hey Jazmine…."
"Hey…" Jazmine sniffled "Guess you came to rub it in my face huh?"
""No...I didn't" Huey rubbed the back of his head awkwardly.
"Then why else...wait, did YOU write the letter!?" Jazmine gasped.
"Hell no!" Huey snapped. " I mean...no."
"Then I guess you were right...I got pranked." Jazmine stood up.
Huey did not know what to do. Normally, he is good with words. Except when it was him showing his emotions. He wanted to say "I like you." but his mouth refused to utter the words.
This was the only thing he knew he could do.
He reached over and grabbed her cheeks, connecting his lips to kiss was deep and passionate, and it just felt so right. His tongue started to lick her lips, begging for an entrance. She accepted and his tongue explored her mouth. It felt like fireworks were going off in his body. Eventually, they both pulled away for air. The look on Jazmine's face was...dazed.
"You, uhm, okay?" Huey asked awkwardly.
Jazmine just looked up at him and smiled, " You don't know how long I've been waiting for that."
