CHAPTER 2
(HUEY'S P.O.V)
I sauntered into the cafeteria towards Jazmine and Riley who were in deep conversation. "If you could bring back someone from the dead, who you've never met, who would it be?." Jazmine asked Riley, as she took a sip of her soda.
"THE NORTORIOUS B.I.G!," Riley exclaimed putting his hands in the air. "Why," Jazmine questioned in curiosity. I rolled my eyes pulling out my lunch from my bag. "Biggy Smalls' a real nigga, it would be dope to hang out with him. I would've act da fool!."
"Um… whose Notorious B.I.G?," Jazmine asked in genuine confusion. Riley made the 'Bitch are you serious' face for a second, then smirked handing her his headphones. "Once you go black you never go back." "Riley," I said sharply narrowing my eyes at him in irritation.
"Don't indulge Jazmine in your-" "Jazmine Dubios," a female voice declared behind us. I swung around to see a well-dressed attractive black woman, wearing a thick fashionable shades. I hunched Jazmine lightly, gesturing someone was standing behind her, since she hadn't heard the lady because of the headphones.
The lady slowly took off her shades, making Jazmine gasp, as Riley's headphones dropped out of her hands in shock, when she recognized who it was. "You're… You're," Jazmine stuttered in excitement. "You're Naomi Campbell…"she said in awe.
"In the flesh," Naomi responded with a smirk, glad that Jazmine had recognized her. "I was in the area, so I decided to drop by and congratulate the next top child model."
"OH MY GOD!, OH MY GOD!," Jazmine squealed for joy. Riley and I exchanged surprised looks with one another. "Huey remember I told you that I sent in my photos into a contest this summer," Jazmine explained doing some kind of dance.
"I won!, I won!," she was screaming now. "I contacted your parents already, and informed them, there's just one thing Jazmine." Jazmine immediately stopped dancing. "I discussed it with your parents, and they seemed not to have a problem with it. Before we can talk about photoshoots, and walking down the runway, you'll have to relax your hair."
"Why she godda relax her hair, I don't see anything wrong with it." I said quickly before Jazmine could respond. "She has to," Naomi asserted brushing her rainbow colored bangs from her face. Naomi's hair was cut short with rainbow colored streaks all over. "Besides natural hair is nice, but a thing of the past. It's a bit old fashioned and less attractive."
Just as I suspected, these so called "fashion models" were ruining the self-esteem of so many women… "You mean it doesn't fit in with the white man's Eurocentric beauty standards," I responded scowling at Naomi.
"Bitch you telling me my cornrows are unattractive?!," Riley growled standing up in anger offended by her comment. "Yes it's- Naomi started to say. "I know my cornrows look better than those fake ass colors you got in. Shit!, you look like a circus clown on crack!."
With that Riley took his headphones from Jazmine, and walked off. "What a disrespectful young man!." I ignored her comment, and turned to Jazmine who was glaring daggers at me silently.
"Choose wisely Jazmine," I simply stated grabbing my lunch, and my backpack before I walked away.
