Jazmine walked into the library, she hasn't been in here that much during the school year, in fact she doesn't even remember going to the library the whole time she has been at this school.
She was in reading class and she had to do a book report on her 3 favorite books. She needed a summary, description and a reasoning on why she liked the book and its message.
And it was three separate reports not together, that's what's worst.
Jazmine hadn't read books in years, the last time she did was when she was in middle school. Now she reads magazines and manga. That's the closest thing,
To be honest she didn't know anything about the library or her way around, very much confused.
She did know one thing though. She saw a boy getting his books and about to sit down at the table. He had glasses, he was obviously a nerd duhh.
Jazmine just figured she could use her looks for help, who doesn't wanna help a pretty girl out? It always worked when she asked for help, but they always kept their eyes on her chest the whole time which was crazy because her eyes were up, not down.
She followed the boy before he was able to sit down, and got in front of him.
"Hello!" She waved at him.
He was very tall and she was very short so he looked down, he pushed his glasses up, amazed at who he was seeing.
"Are you looking at my chest?" Jazmine asked, annoyed.
"No, you're just shorter than me, sorry if it came across like that. That wasn't my intention."
Jazmine let it slide because he sounded sincere and wasn't rude about it. But she knew exactly who he was, Huey freeman.
He was the smartest kid and spent most of his time in the Library. He loved to read so she knew he was the best person to ask.
In fact, He gets all his work done on time and gets it correct so that the teachers don't even care if he skips.
"Well, I need your help with something." Jazmine asked, sitting down at the table he was about to sit at.
"If you're going to ask me to do your homework Jazmine, then I don't do that." Huey said. He had a lot of pretty girls who would come up to him and use him, to get their homework done. He knew he was better than that so from now on he declared he wouldn't do that anymore.
Huey wasn't really popular, he was known but not popular. A Lot of people knew who he was but they thought he was weird and nerdy. It didn't make sense because why wouldn't girls love smart guys?
"How do you know my name?" Jazmine asked.
"Why wouldn't I know you? You're like the prettiest girl in school everyone knows your name. I know it seems kind of creepy cause I'm some dork and all but, that's not the case, I swear." Huey told her as he sat down. "And you live in my neighborhood."
"Really?" Jazmine asked, "I've never seen you."
"That's because we never spoke before. This is your first ever conversation with me." Huey pushed his glasses up his nose.
"Ohhh!" Jazmine laughed. She wasn't the sharpest tool, some could say she was "slow" Maybe socially, but she was good with her school work and made good grades so maybe that wasn't always the case. But she did comprehend things so slowly and it has to be explained to her well for her to understand.
"So what's a girl like you talking to a guy like me?"
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Usually when girls come up to me they want something, I'm assuming that's the case." Huey responded.
"Yeah, but not for homework or anything my grades are pretty good." Jazmine says reassuring him.
"So what is it?"
"I need help with books and stuff, I know that's your thing, you're really smart." Jazmine smiled.
"Are you asking for suggestions?" Huey asked.
Jazmine nodded, "And I kind of need help reaching the books." She said, playing with her fingers, embarrassed.
Huey chuckled, "I can help you with that, nothing to be embarrassed about."
He couldn't believe she was talking to her like seriously, never in a million years had he guessed.
"What kind of books do you like?" Huey asked her.
"Girly!" She said,
"I should have guessed. How about Dork diaries?"
"I'm not in middle school." She said as she walked off pissed.
"Did I do something wrong?" Huey asked, but she was already gone.
"Jazmine talked to me today," Huey told his brother and friends on the walk home.
"Jazmine? The thick one with the big boobs?" Riley asked, "How she talk to your gay ass?"
Huey shrugged as he pushed his glasses up, "I don't know, she asked me for book suggestions in the library.
"Jazmine? Reading? I heard that girl was dumb as a book," Ceaser asked.
"Oh no, her grades are good, she's smart." Hiro corrected.
"I think I made her mad, I don't know what I did." Huey asked, putting his hands in his pocket.
"Maybe she was tired of your ugly ass face." Riley laughed at him.
"Haha, real funny." Huey said, but he couldn't help but wonder if it was true.
But he wasn't ugly, he just was smart and he had different views than other people, which they probably thought was weird because they didn't understand.
Huey was an outcast, but he wasn't ugly, he couldn't help but wonder if he took his glasses off and gotten a new haircut he would be popular and "Attractive"
Huey didn't care about being popular though, in fact he didnt care what others thought about him, and he could hide in the library all he wanted to nobody except people who want to pass highschool go in the library.
He was a little overdue on a haircut though, he needed a fresh cut on his hairline. It was all nappy and looked matted.
The next day Huey was in the library reading and sorting out books, He usually helped out the media specialist and got paid. He always told her that she didn't need to pay him but she insisted because he was so helpful.
Huey was sorting some books and making sure they were in the correct order. He noticed some books were about to fall and make noise so he rushed to get them.
Oops.
He ran into Jazmine from running and being in a rush.
His glasses fell on the ground they were cracked, he placed his hands around trying to look for them.
Jazmine was luckily okay, she was still standing, she looked down at Huey who was struggling and helped him out.
"Oh you poor thing! Are you okay?" She asked.
"Jazmine, is that you? Did I hurt you?" He asked, looking around for her.
"Look up!" She said,
Huey looked up at her all blurry but he noticed that orange hair from anywhere.
Jazmine happened to notice how cute he was, but she felt so bad because he was on the floor hurt.
Jazmine bent down and picked his glasses up and put them on his face.
"Thank you," Huey said as he stood up.
Jazmine smiled, "You're welcome, let's sit." She said, grabbing his hand leading him to the table.
Huey sat down at the table and she said down right next to him besides sitting across.
Confused, he turned to look at her. "Um.." He said.
"What is it?" She asked.
"Nothing, what did you need?"
"I came to apologize for the way I acted, I know it was so mean. I'm not a meany, ok?" She said,
"Ok," Huey said.
"So, do you want to study together?"
Huey sighed, he knew this was going to happen, she was using him, which was sad because Jazmine wasn't like the other popular people who were snobby, rich, and rude she was so nice and kind to him.. Kind of? She did have a bit of an ego though.
"I'm not doing your homework for you." He told her.
"I'm not asking you to, I just wanted to work together and like, im struggling a bit in my work." She said sadly.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. What do you need help with?" Huey asked, feeling a bit bad.
Jazmine sorted through her backpack and got out her workbook.
"Need help with history." Jazmine said, "I'm in a 9th grade class." She said embarrassed, turning red.
"It's okay, I don't mind helping you." Huey said, rubbing his arm.
"Thank you! I knew you would help me!" Jazmine said, then she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Huey touched his cheek and looked at her, she was cheerful and excited
"Wow." He said to himself.
"Why did you kiss me?" He asked, confused. He knew why she did it, but why him? Isn't he all ugly and some sort of a loser?
"Oh, would you prefer me to kiss you on the lips?" Jazmine asked, putting her hands on his cheeks about to kiss him.
"N-no!" Huey said, putting her hand down, a bit embarrassed.
"Okay," Jazmine said, "Can we just get to work." She said irritated.
"Right," Huey said. "What are you working on?"
"We have some overview on our work book and we have to answer some questions and there is this one thing in our work packet that i'm stuck on."
"What is that?" Huey asked, wondering what the question was.
"It's asking me to cite the impact of Georgia's Impact on WWII west but I don't know what to say, and google is no help." Jazmine said, exhausted, putting her hand on her head slouching down.
"Don't stress yourself, i'm good at history." Huey said.
Jazmine smiled and looked at Huey, "Thank you," She said giving a soft smile "Your eyes are really pretty!" She sat up and looked at them, getting closer and kind of invalidating his personal space.
Huey backed up a bit, Jazmine was all in his face looking deeply into his maroon eyes.
Her breasts were all on his chest, he couldn't help but think about anime that's what it reminded him of. Was he in an anime? He sees this tired drug out scene in every anime.
He had to snap out of it, he didn't want to look at her breast anyway because it was rude.
He put his hands on her shoulders and told her to focus.
"Sorry," She said, "We keep getting carried away, mostly my fault."
"Its fine," Huey said, "Here, i'll start you off." He got a highlighter from his backpack and anyazlized the passage in the textbook, then he highlighted some key details to help her.
Jazmine watched his do that in awe, just staring at him.
"Here," He said, "Read that."
Jazmine read the words he highlighted then read the questions, her first answer was easy.
She looked at Huey, and pointed at him for approval. He looked over it and shook his head, "Yeah, you got it." He told her.
"Thank you for helping me, maybe we should study more often?" She insisted.
"What about those books you needed?" Huey asked, wondering.
"Oh, I just got some books hanging around my house." She said,
"I can write the report for you if you want?" He asked.
"Oh no, that wouldn't be nice. It's too long and I'm sure you have better stuff to do." Jazmine said.
"Nah, I'm caught up on all my work, I wouldn't mind, I'm happy to be talking with you. In fact, i'm surprised you have been with me for so long and it seems genuine whenever I'm this close to a girl they seem annoyed by me."
Jazmine laughed, "That's ridiculous, yeah you're a geek and all but your so sweet!" she gave him another kiss on the cheek.
Jazmine took the glasses off his face leaving him confused, "Huh. what are you doing?"
"Wiping them off for you, silly!" She giggled, "They were foggy and steamy." She wiped them off with her shirt, then placed them back on his face. "Thanks Jazmine." He said.
"You're welcome." She said looking into his eyes. She didn't even have to hide that she liked his eyes, in fact she was pretty bold with everything on her mind the whole time they have been talking.
Huey noticed, but didnt know what to say. He had people tell him his eyes are pretty and all but not in like in the tone she said it in.
Her eyes weren't so bad either, they were an emerald green. Just so pretty.
They locked eyes with each other for a minute, he wanted to say something about her eyes too, but he didnt want to admit that.
He refused to.
He didn't want to fall for her and it ends up being some prank, or she's just using her. Huey wanted to believe she was interested and nice but it was hard.
Jazmine looked away and checked her apple watch, "I have to go soon, someones taking me out."
"Your boyfriend?" Huey asked curiously, as he pushed his glasses up his nose.
"Oh no, I dont have one, he's sort of a friend on the football team." Jazmine answered. "If we're being honest I think you would be a great buddy," she booped his nose.
Huey blushed a bit, looking away back at the work, He felt the same.
Jazmine pulled out her Ipod touch from her pocket and put her airpods in, listening to Nicki Minaj.
"You still use those?" Huey asked, confused. Jazmine nodded her head, excitedly.
"Wanna hear?" She asked.
Huey nodded, "I prefer not to, I'm not in the mood for explicit music right now."
Jazmine laughed, "Silly, I'm listening to her emotional music, here." She said as she gave Huey her other airpod.
Huey didn't want to tell her no so he sat there and vibed with her, he couldn't deny though she was so talented. They were listening to "Dear old Nicki" from her first album. Huey would never admit in his life that he was a barb.
He started to bop his head, jamming with the music. They ended up rudely interrupted by a person who was impatient and tapping her feet.
"Jazmine, did you forget about the party?"
"Huh?" Jazmine asked, not able to hear.
"What are you doing with this freak?"
Jazmine took the airpods out and looked up, "Oh, you mean Huey? He's so sweet Cairo." Jazmine said.
"Jazmine look at the dude, his glasses are cracked." Cairo laughed, grabbing Jazmines arm.
Huey gritted his teeth, he despised him, but there was nothing he could do about it, at that point. Cairo was always bullying and teasing him, the man thought he was better than him. Huey knew he wasn't though, and he didn't care either he was a loser who had nothing better to do than mess with other people's lives and party all night.
"Byeee Huey!" Jazmine said as she was being dragged away.
Huey still had her airpods though, the case, backpack and everything was still there.
"Guess I'll just put this over there until she comes back," Huey said, sighing.
When she said she was going somewhere he didn't know she meant with HIM. Cairo stayed bullying him. The worst thing is that it seems he has her under her spell.
