Yeah, sorry for the long wait! I've been busy with school and all. So I've decided to pick it back up thanks to popular demand! ~Day Three: Huey Freeman~
Huey sat up in bed earlier than usual. He had his head in his hands, and shook it. He tried to think of something, but every time he did, all he thought of was Riley and Jazmine by the Oak tree, just moments from sharing a kiss. Now Huey didn't have the evidence that they were about to kiss, but from the way Jazmine was blushing, and how Riley was acting, there really wasn't anything else to assume. Unless…..
Huey jolted his head up, and sharply turned it in the direction of the bed on the other side of room, which contained a mass of covers and a breathing figure beneath it. Surely Riley hadn't told Jazmine about the bet! Surely Jazmine doesn't know already! If Riley had told her, this would mess up the whole thing for the both of them! And when He and Riley returned to their original selves, Jazmine would never look at Huey the same again. To be quite honest, now that Riley was hanging out with Jazmine, Huey had started to become…..well…..jealous! Huey looked at Riley again, and shook his head again. There was no way Riley would mess up the bet for both of them by telling Jazmine that they switched lives. Huey chuckled to himself as he laid back down for an extra bit of sleep. There was no way at any point that Riley was actually in love with Jazmine. Surely he wasn't. Or was he?
Huey couldn't take it anymore, and got out of bed. He pulled on a pair of ripped jeans, and a black t-shirt, did his hair into braids, and ran downstairs. He ate half a pop tart, some orange juice from the carton, grabbed the skateboard, and rode out the door. He was supposed to meet Ed and Gin back at Gin's house to discuss more robbery plans, so Huey took the long way. He knew that taking the long way meant that he would have to pass Ruckus' house, but Huey took the risk, knowing perfectly well that Ruckus had actually went to go visit his adoptive family for a reunion (it was easier for him now that his grandma and dad were dead), and wouldn't be back for the rest of the week. So when Huey passed by Ruckus' house some 5 minutes later, all he could do was stop, get off the skateboard, and stare at the house.
"Oh. My. God." He muttered under his breath.
Ruckus' house was a complete mess; there were Jolly Ranchers candy (the hard ones) plastered all on the windows, pictures scattered on the lawn, and toilet paper everywhere. Huey picked up one of the pictures that was on the ground and stared at it; it was a picture of him. Huey did a double take. It just couldn't be him! It couldn't! But upon closer thinking, Huey realized something: It couldn't have been him, because he hadn't been anywhere near Ruckus' house since…..ever! Huey had never been to Ruckus' house before! He looked at the picture again and realized, with utmost fury, that it was Riley. Riley knew that Ruckus would be out of town, so he took pictures of himself dressed up as Huey because Riley knew perfectly well that when Ruckus returned, it would be on a day that Riley and Huey were back to normal, so it would be Huey that would get arrested upon Ruckus' return.
"Oh, I'll deal with this mess when I get back."
Huey mounted the skateboard, and rode off, glaring at the house as he went.
~X~X~
~X~X~
Huey reached Gin's house some few minutes later. He opened up the door and was immediately bombarded with a list from Ed.
"There you are, Reezey! Go get this stuff from B.T.'s shop and bring it back here."
Huey was shooed out the door. He looked at the list just as the door was slammed shut behind him. Everything had something to do with either guns and/or grenades. They were items that were going to be used in Saturday's bank heist. Huey rode off down the street. As he passed by, he noticed a Ferris Wheel, and a couple of rides, and he realized that the 15th annual Woodcrest Summer County Fair was going on. Just at that moment, Huey slapped his head in frustration: Today was the day that he promised to take Jazmine to the Fair. And right now she was probably skipping up to the Freeman's house right now, with tickets in hand, requesting that Huey would hurry up and get dressed. Unfortunately, it would be Riley she was going with. This raised up the jealousy bar on Huey's meter. Just thinking about it made his nostrils flare, and his Mahogany eyes glint. However, in the fit of his jealous rage, he didn't realize that he had reached B.T.'s ammo store. Huey was about to walk inside when he saw a scene that made him duck behind the windows.
B.T. was talking to a police officer, their heads bowed down. Huey tried to keep out of sight. If he was caught around here as Riley, he would be in serious trouble with the law. But as he looked, he noticed that the way the two of them were bowed, it had to be something important. Huey tried to catch what they were saying, but it seemed as if the windows were high-quality sound proof, for all he heard was muffling noises. Soon, he saw them laughing, and the cop giving a wad of cash to B.T. before turning around and leaving. Huey dashed behind the store just as the cop was coming out. He waited for the cop to leave before he went inside.
The shop was set up the same way when Huey stepped inside two days ago. He went up to the front counter, and could see B.T. handling something in a drawer in the back room. Huey wanted to find out more, but for now, getting guns would have to do. He rang the bell on the counter.
"Yo! B.T.!"
B.T. looked up, giving Huey a startled look. Whatever he was messing with, he hastily pushed back in the drawer, adjusted his clothing, stumbled out the room, and closed door behind him.
"Hey! Whazzup Riley?"
"Nuttin much. Just tryin' to get sum ov dis shit for Ed and Gin."
Huey thrusted the list into B.T.'s hand. B.T. looked down the list, smirking as he went.
"Figures," he chuckled, "I was wondering when they would order this stuff."
B.T. pulled out a messenger bag, and stuffed it with various guns and grenades. Huey couldn't help but notice that the majority of the weapons stuffed in the bag looked like something you would see in one of those futuristic movies. After finishing, he handed the bag to Huey.
"There you go, Riley. I think that'll be enough for Saturday. But knowing Ed, he'll probably need to make a few more deposits for his likings."
Huey turned around to go, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw B.T. make a move for the back room again, and when Huey turned around to see the counter, B.T. had gone. Huey walked out of the store and rode on the skateboard back to Gin's house. He wished he could've heard what that cop was talking about with B.T., and about what that money was for. Huey skated pass the fair again, and another jealousy fit overcame him. But this time he had an excuse: as he whizzed by, he saw Riley and Jazmine standing behind a fenced wall. Huey could just make out Riley's hand placed on Jazmine's chin, the other on her waist. Jazmine's hands were both on Riley's shoulders. All Huey could do was continue on riding by. He was extremely pissed off right now. Riley was putting his toe out of line. As a matter of fact, he was putting all of his fingers out of line.
At last, Huey pulled up to Gin's house, and he bounded off the skateboard towards the door. He knocked on it rapidly, and just as quick, Ed's head poked out the door.
"Hey Reezey! Great you got the stuff! Just give it here, and you can go."
Huey was very appalled by this statement, and held on firmly onto the bag when Ed tried to grab it from his hands.
"What gives, Reezey?"
"What gives? You sent meh all da way down to dat fuckin ammo shop, just to bring ya sum fuckin guns and shit, WHEN YA'LL COULDA DUN IT YO SELFS?"
"Trust me Reezey. It was better you then us to go down to that ammo shop. Look on the bright side!"
"WAT BRIGHT SIDE?"
"At least you get the rest of the day off!"
Ed then shut the door in Huey's face before Huey could protest anymore. This pissed him off even more. But Huey listened to what Ed had said. "At least you get the rest of the day off!"
A light bulb clicked in his head, and Huey grinned evilly. Jumping on his skateboard, he took off from the house, and off to the Summer County Fair.
~X~X~
~X~X~
Huey had managed to climb the back fence to the Fair, and now wondered around. He had to find his no good brother and Jazmine before something happened. Now, Huey knew perfectly well that it was he who set up the rules, but he didn't want things to turn out this way! Huey wandered through the sea of happy people, carrying his skateboard, when he spotted the two people he was looking for: Riley and Jazmine. They appeared to be speaking, so Huey snuck up behind a carnival booth to listen.
"Why won't you kiss me, Huey?"
"Jazmine…..I really don't feel that it's right to do it…..kissing you and all."
"Oh, common Huey! Just one little kiss. Pretty Please?"
"Well, I guess one little one wouldn't hurt….."
Huey looked frantically around for something to throw, and found a small rock. He looked up, took aim, and threw with all his might. He had made his target, for Riley screamed out in pain, making Huey duck back down.
"OUCH!"
"What's wrong?"
"Something hit my head!"
"Maybe we should move from this spot."
"Yeah…..maybe we should….."
Huey took a peek, and saw Riley and Jazmine walking away, with Riley looking around in confusion. Huey slid back down and heaved out a long, heavy sigh.
~X~X~
~X~X~
Huey walked around the fair, looking at the countless amount of people enjoying themselves. It kind of sickened him to so many people laughing in one area. Buried deep in his thoughts, Huey kept on walking, and ended up walking right into someone.
"Oh, sorry dude. I wasn't-"
But to his complete surprise, the person he walked into wasn't a stranger. It was Jazmine.
"Oh! Hi, Riley! I didn't know you'd be here! Guess you snuck in, huh?"
"Hells yeah I snuck in! Hey Jazzy, have you seen my nigga ov a brotha around?"
"Actually, I came with him. He went to the bathroom. After he comes out, we're gonna leave. You know how Huey gets when he's surrounded by a bunch of people happy and smiling in one place."
"Yeah, yous betta believes I know, nigga."
"You know something Riley? It's been a while since I've seen you. I barely even caught a glance at you at all this summer. In fact, the first time I actually saw you for this whole summer was yesterday."
"I've been busy."
"Figures. For once, I actually miss your little bad attitude self."
"Whateva."
"Anyways, see you around, Riley."
"Laters, Jazzy."
Jazmine stood on her toes to rub Huey's head, and gave him a swift kiss on the cheek. Huey thought it best to leave now while he still had the chance. When he reached the entrance, Huey threw down the skateboard, and rode off home. His jealousy rage was starting up again, and as he rode on, he was oblivious to the fact that he was stabbing his foot in the ground everytime he needed a boost of speed.
~X~X~
Huey sat in bed listening to music, while writing in his journal. He was just about to go to bed when the thought occurred to him: Maybe Riley was doing Huey some good by hanging with Jazmine. After all, if they pull it off, Huey will be dating Jazmine come Monday. He sighed to himself. Yes, there was absolutely nothing to be worried about.
The door shot open, and Riley came storming in. Except, it wasn't the same Riley that Huey had saw at the Fair. Riley quickly changed out of his clothes, walked over to Huey's night stand, and placed something on the surface.
"Just thought yous outta knows, nigga."
He stormed over to his own bed, got under the covers, and quickly went to sleep. Huey looked over at the night stand to see what thing Riley had placed, and gasped. To his utter horror, Huey noticed that it was a rock. But not just any rock.
It was the exact same rock that Huey had thrown at Riley's head at the Fair.
