I know it's been a long time... forgive me? =3
Read and Review por favor!
It's kinda funny. This, right here, is all I've ever wanted. Ya know, for guys to notice me. Well, that's exactly what I got! Huey notices me, and so do other boys, like Caesar and Riley. ARGH! That's still so weird to me! Riley actually likes me! Then again, it's also kinda sweet if you ask me, but I've liked his older brother for such a long time! I kinda thought that Riley would go for a girl more like… Cindy McPhearson something, ya know? Ugh… what I need right now is to get out of these clothes and take a nice and relaxing bath, but I'm a little stuck at the moment! Huey is still here trapping Riley inside the closet, and they're still waiting for me to choose one of them! I just want things to go back to the way they were. What if I told them that I was in love with Cindy? You think that'd work? Nah… it'll probably make things worse!
"Jazmine?" Huey and Riley shout.
"Whaaaaaat?" I groan covering my ears. I really just want to be left alone right now!
"Please! Just talk to us… say something!" Huey says.
"Okay. Did you catch the game last night?" I ask innocently. Huey raises his eyebrow giving me that don't-be-stupid look.
"Could you pleez hurry dis up?" Riley says from behind the closet door. "I'm closet phobic!" Ah, Riley. Such a cutie, but he's not cute enough to cover up the fact that he's a dumbass. I take a deep and rub the back of my neck. Somehow, it feels hotter, so I take off my jacket. Yeah, I was pretty much naked, but I just didn't give a damn anymore! I look at the clock above Huey's head and it's only 2:58pm! Damn! I need to get outta here!
"You guys," I say looking down "I like both of you, but if I had to pick… I'd have to go wit−"
"YOU GUYS!" Cindy yells running down the stairs fully clothe this time. Thank God she came, cuz I was kinda talking out my ass!
"WHAT?" All three of us scream. Cindy puts her hands on her knees trying to catch her breath.
"M-My dad!" Cindy shouts "He's on his way home!"
"OH SHIT!" We scream. For those of y'all who don't know who Cindy's dad is, you should know that he is crazy and he has guns! And, if you're not white, you are at risk of getting blasted! Huey was already out the door when Cindy said Dad. Riley bursts out of the closet heading toward the door, he then turns around to get his bag.
"LEAVE IT!" Cindy yells. Riley turns on his heels running out the door (hitting the wall before exiting!). Me? The only reason I'm allowed over is because Mr. McPhearson just thinks I'm too lazy to fix my hair in the morning! I may look white, but he still scares me shitless!
"I'm sorry, Cindy!" I yell putting my jacket on "But I'm not about to get shot!" Cindy falls on the couch laughing at me "What the hell are you laughing for?" I ask angrily. Cindy looks at me and shakes her head.
"I dint tell you?" She asks calming herself down. I shake my head suspiciously. "Ma dad's doin 50 years!" Ooooh yeeeeaaaahh! Damn! The things I miss! "I jus said dat so dey would leave! It took a while fa me ta think of. But it wasn't dat long, right?"
"Wasn't that long?" I say raising my voice "That felt like almost a week!"
"Yeah whateva!" She says brushing me off. She looks up at me and grins smugly.
"Why are always you looking at me like that?" I ask feeling vulnerable.
"So which bother you gon p−"
"DON'T ASK ME THAT!" I yell covering my ears. "I… I need some time to think, okay?" Cindy backs away from me slowly putting her hands up.
"Aiight man! It's cool!" I sit on the floor Indian style. I like to meditate when I have to make tough decisions. Oddly enough, it's not doing shit for me right now! I've never felt so stressed out! I need to go outside. I know just the right place to go whenever I feel stressed. But first…
"Cindy? Can I borrow some pants?"
"Sure. For what?"
"Let's go get some fresh air. I don't want to look like a whore when I go outside." Cindy nods and head towards Riley's bag. As soon as she picks up the bag, guess what falls out…
"Whoa…" Cindy says wide eyed staring at the pile of condoms that fell out his bag. For some reason, I don't feel as disturbed as I should. I just shrug and look through his bag looking for a decent pair of pants. Cindy looks down at me. "You don fee freaked ou−"
"Nope." I say with a monotone voice.
"Not even a lit−"
"Not in the slightest."
"Because DATS jus−"
"Cindy!" I shout pulling out a pair of basketball shorts. Cindy's laughter simmers down to a chuckle. Okay, the thought of what Riley was trying to do went through my mind! Oh no, the thought brought images! OHMIGOD! That's… That's just… EUGH! "You ready to go, Cindy?" I say trying to sound unfazed.
"Always!" Cindy says hopping off of the couch.
The Hill Top
"Why do you always come here?" Cindy asks sitting on a pile of leaves.
"I always come here!" I say defensively. "I like the view and the nice cool breeze you get up here." Cindy looks at me with a raised eyebrow.
"I know that! I'm jus sayin, the view is much better in da tree!" She says looking up. "You should try it!" Hell no! I can picture my ass falling and breaking everything I own!
"Maybe one day." I lie "Right now, I just want to get this off of my shoulders."
"Ya know, there is an alternative!" Cindy informs.
"Really?" I say excitedly. "What? Tell me!"
"You don have ta choose eitha one of 'em!" Oh… there's that, I guess. I've had a crush on Huey for years now, but he's always been so cold and somewhat heartless! Riley is cute, fun, and from what I've heard, he cares about me deeply, but he also seems like the jealous type! I mean, he tried to pick a fight with Huey! I don't want to ruin their friendship or whatever it is that brothers have! Well, I think I've made my choice…
"How are we gunna get rid of Riley?" I ask Cindy. She didn't answer. "Hello? Cindy?" I turn to look at her and see her concentrating on something. "What are you−"
"SHHH!" She says putting her hand over my mouth.
"You hear dat?" She whispers sharply. I shake my head as she stands up to peer over the hill top. "OH SHIT!" She whispers running toward the tree.
"Wha-What?"
"Riley's comin!" Oh shit, indeed! I run following Cindy toward the tree as she starts to climb. I grab a branch to hoist myself up. "C'mon, Jaz!" I hear Cindy whisper. As I get higher, I look for a sturdy branch to rest on. When I found it, I jumped up and caught it. Cindy was right, this was beautiful. I can see the entire city at this height, and it was a lot cooler up here. This was quite relaxing. I lean back on the branch letting my legs dangle. This was niiiice.
"Jazmine!" I hear Cindy whisper my name.
"Huh? What?" I say rising up. Cindy was sitting on a branch far across from me. "How did you get all the way over there?" Cindy puts her finger over her lip signaling for me to be quiet.
"Not so loud!" She whispers. "Stay right der, I'm comin over!" Cindy wobbles standing up. Oh no, I can tell this isn't going to go well, but I still hope for the b−
*SNAP!*
"OH SHIT!" Cindy screams
*CRASH!*
Oooo… that doesn't look too nice!
"What tha−Cindy?" Riley yells. Cindy lifts herself up grabbing her sides and wincing.
"Sup, Riley?" She says stretching herself across Riley's lap looking up at him. "What brings you here?" Riley looks up into the distance then back down at Cindy.
"Why tha hell are you here?" He asks accusingly. Cindy looks into the trees at me hoping that I'd give her an answer. I just shrug and hide. Cindy sighs and looks back at Riley.
"Riley?" She says sympathetically. "You know you ma nigga, right?" Riley nods. "You know I care for you and I could neva lie ta you, right?" I have no idea what she's getting at, but this better have a point!
"Yeah, I know." Riley says trying to move things along. "Waz dis about? Whatchu tryna say?" Cindy rises up putting her hands to her chest and looks up at me again. Uh oh! She's giving me the you-owe-me look. She's about to do something crazy! She bites down on her bottom lip and looks down. "Jus say it, Cindy!" He says impatiently.
"It's about Jazmine." Cindy says lowly. Riley's eyes sadden as he lets out a sigh. "It's about you liking Jazmine." Cindy lets her hands brush against his shoulders. This girl is GOOD!
"Waz tha prolem?" Riley asks.
*Muuuwaah!*
HOLY SHIT! Cindy grabbed him by his collar and throws herself on top of him and kisses him, I think! Damn! This can't be acting! Cindy pulls away still having a grip on his collar.
"C-Cindy?" Riley says blushing and in shock. "When did you−"
"Shhh…" Cindy says resting her index finger on his lips and leans into him "I've always loved you, Riley." Then she kisses him again! DAAAAAYYYAAAMMN!
