Huey stepped outside and locked the door, ready to head to school. Huey would drive, but he couldn't. He had no car, which was sad.
He put his hands in his pockets and then put his AirPods in, to listen to his podcast. He heard some footsteps and the sound of heels so he turned around to see who it was. It happened to be Jazmine, she had on platform wedges with shoe laces in them.
"Hi Huey!" She said cheerfully.
"Hi." He responded, taking his headphones out.
"Sorry about yesterday, how is your hair?" She asked.
"It's good, I washed it so I should be fine."
"Well that's great." Jazmine said looking at the ground, not knowing what else to say.
They walked to school in silence for the rest of the time being, it was pretty awkward but neither of them said a word, only thing that came from they was a "Thank you" and "Mhm" when Huey opened the door for her.
When they arrived to school she was at her locker, putting her books inside of it. Huey approached her to have a talk. "Hey Jazmine." Huey said, pressing his elbow against the locker next to him.
"Hi!." She said , shutting the locker. "We didn't get to finish our conversation yesterday, I was wondering where you wanted to go." Huey asked, pushing his glasses up.
Jazmine heard giggles coming from behind her, she turned around just to see Ming & Cindy Laughing.
Ming & Cindy were the worst, they used to be Jazmines Cheer sisters and fellow best friend, but they voted her off the team and it hasn't been the same ever since.
They always had something smart or shady to say towards her. Jazmine didn't understand why though, maybe they were jealous or maybe it was because of the routine they stole Ming really wanted to go through with it and enjoyed the routine. When Ming doesn't get her way it gets really scary and makes your life a living Hell, She is good at manipulating people and coming up with schemes, which Jazmine hates to be involved with. I guess that was her last strike.
"Look who she's talking to!" Ming whispered in Cindy's ear. "That must be her dorky boyfriend." Cindy shrugged.
She watched them talk about Huey, and she turned back to face him, she didn't want to hear it anymore. "It's-it doesn't matter." Jazmine said not concentrating or listening to what Huey was saying.
"Ok so you want to go?" Huey said. "Yeah, sure." Jazmine replied, walking off quickly covering her face making sure she wasn't seen.
Huey stood there in shock, confused. "Hmm" he thought. Ming and Ming where talking and Huey happened heard Jazmines name, that's when it clicked.
"You think Jazmine heard us?" Ming laughed.
"Most Definitely, she looked back and ran off afterwards she knew exactly what she said, but I would be embarrassed too if I was talking to him." Cindy replied.
"Cindy shhh HES right there!" She pointed at Huey.
Ming walked towards Hueys Direction and dragged Cindy with her "Did you happen to hear what we were talking about?" She asked him.
Huey nodded irritated, he still managed to have a calm voice. "Yes, I did." He told her.
"Oh! Good! Know you know why Jazmine ran off, she was so embarrassed, I mean I would be embarrassed too if I was seen near you!" Ming laughed.
Huey rolled his eyes, and walked off, he was mad and he didn't want them to see that they got to him. It was true though, and he was wondering why Jazmine kept looking back, did she even hear anything he said to her?
He went into the library to read, that usually calms him down, then he played the sounds of waterfalls and put his earbuds in, nobody could bother him now.
Wel not really.
"Hi Huey." Jazmine said, tapping on his shoulder.
Huey felt the tap but ignored it.
Jazmine sat down next to him and tapped him again, "What's wrong?" She asked.
Huey took his earbuds out and looked at her seriously, a look he never gave her before. "What's wrong? What's wrong is what happened earlier, you ran off on me and from the looks of it, it seems as of your embarrassed to be seen with me."
Jazmine shook her head fast as she could, "That's not true!" She said.
"Oh yeah, why did you run off as soon as, you saw Ming and Cindy talking?" Huey crossed his shoulders.
"Because, they are bullies and they are always talking about me. I let them get to my head sometimes, I'm not proud of it at all, but I don't like it. They hate my guts because I told on them about the dance routine."
"Did you hear anything I was saying to you?" He asked.
Jazmine rubbed her arms. "Yes?" She said
"Be honest." Huey told her.
"No."
"Great," He said disappointedly. "I listen to everything you say, even if it's just nonsense and about nothing, but I wanted to have a conversation with you and go somewhere but you were just worried about what two lame people had to say." Huey said as he got up.
"Where are you going? I'm sorry." Jazmine said.
"Somewhere YOU aren't, and can't find me." Huey replied taking his stuff with him.
That hurt her bad so she got up, to follow him. "Look, im sorry, okay? I mean it, don't leave." She said sadly, "You're my only freind."
Huey turned back around, "Are you embarrassed by me?" He asked again.
Jazmine shook her head, "No, not at all." She told him.
Huey put his stuff back down and signed. Jazmine smiled and she sat down too.
"It's kind of hard to stay mad at you." He told her.
Jazmine laughed, "Alot of people tell me that."
"Do you still want to go out with me?" Huey asked.
"Go out?" Jazmine questioned.
"You know, like somewhere." He said. Jazmine sat down next to him, "Do you like me?" He asked her.
Jazmine looked up at him but didn't answer the question right away. "Huh?" She said, knowing exactly what he asked.
"Do you like me Jazmine?" He asked again.
"I think your great." She told him.
"Oh, okay." He said fixing his posture, a bit irritated. "Nevermind."
"Why did you ask?" She questioned.
"It's nothing, just forget about it." He told her
"I don't want to, if you asked me something it's for a reason."
"Yeah, but your playing dumb." Huey told her.
"How? You asked me a question and I answered it." Jazmine answered.
"Passive aggressively, you weren't answering the question fully." He shot back.
"What was the question again?" Jazmine asked.
"Bye Jazmine." Huey said getting up, from his seat leaving fully.
"Wait come back!" Jazmine said running after him.
"What do you want? You've been irking me all day, everyone irks me usually and I to have a soft spot for you because your sensitive and nice, but it's really been hard to do that today." Huey told her.
Jazmine crossed her arms, "Cause your lashing out on me!" She told him.
"You started it, I've been pretty positive until you decided to mess it up." Huey said.
"Oh so I messed your day up?" She asked.
Huey nodded his head, "Pretty much."
"Fine, I won't bother you anymore since I bother you so much!" Jazmine stormed off.
Huey shrugged it off, "Thank god."
Jazmine walked back to him, "That's why..that's why- your hair is dry as heck!" She told him, with her hand on her hip.
"That's what you came back to tell me? What happened to you leaving and not bothering me."
"You really want me to leave?" She asked.
"I mean you said it not me." He told her.
"Fine!" She walked back off, "And I'm not coming back either." She said.
"She is something else, that girl gives me a headache."
