Huey's POV

Huey walked into the detention room and did a nod of appreciation when he realized that he was the only one who had been sent to after school hell. He put his note next to the sleeping teacher who was supposed to be watching those in detention and took a seat in the middle of the classroom.

I can have time to think about what I'm going to say to Jazmine when I get out of here.

He had texted Jazmine asking her to meet him at their special place but, he had no idea what he was going to talk to her about. He had a few things that he wanted to say to her he just didn't know how to say them.

Honestly, how do you tell the girl that you just started talking to again after four years of ignoring her that you loved her. Hallmark didn't make cards for this.

Huey and the sleeping teacher looked up at the sound of the vice principal's voice coming down the hallway.

"Mr. Barnes, I do not care what kind of love gestures you make in the school as long as you clean them up. But, because you did not clean it up and you used fresh flowers I'm giving you detention for the next three days."

"It's not my fault the classroom across the hall's window was open. If it had been closed the bees wouldn't have gotten in."

I rolled my eyes at the sound of Emmanuel's voice if there was one person I didn't want to see it was him. I had heard about his "gesture" and thought it was ridiculous and I was also mad that I hadn't thought of it first. Not covering Jazmine's locker with a bunch of flowers but a gesture that was more style.

"I don't understand why you had to spend a fortune to impress a girl," their voices had gotten closer to the door. The teacher at the front of the room sat up to make it appear as if she were doing her job. She spoke up drawing his attention away from Emmanuel.

"Hi Mr. Simmons, I was just about to go over the rules of detention with our attendees…" she looked up and only saw me "attendant. I meant attendant." She smiled at him but he didn't acknowledge it.

"No need to go over the rules with Huey Freeman, Ms. Jones. He is one of our frequents. He just can't seem to keep that big mouth of his shut."

He looked pointedly at me and moved out of the way so Emmanuel could come in the classroom. When he came into the classroom we made eye contact and I rolled my eyes. He chose a seat in the same row as me but closest to the window.

"Well Ms. Jones I'll leave you to it."

She smiled at him and nodded in understanding. She walked over to the door and peered out in such a way that both boys assumed that she was waiting for Mr. Simmons to turn the corner. She sighed and closed the classroom door.

"Alright, you both broke some rules today and now I am stuck here with you for the next hour. I am going to go back to sleep. I don't care what you just don't wake me up and don't leave the classroom. I have a timer set and we will all leave at the same time. You don't want to be here I definitely don't want to be here so let's make life easier for each other."

We both nodded and she sat down, put some headphones in and put her head down.

I returned to thinking about what I was going to say to Jazmine when I got out of here. Well, at least I tried but Emmanuel started tapping on the desk. I sighed and tuned him out and focused my thoughts on Jazmine. It worked for a few minutes until I felt his eyes burning a hole in the side of my skull.

I turned to look at him in his football uniform, Mr. Simmons must have pulled him off the field… or the bench.

"Did you lose something over here, Barnes?"

"What were you doing at Jazmine's house Saturday," he asked completely ignoring my question.

"That's none of your business."

He chuckled. I raised my eyebrow at him. Of all the responses, I had prepared myself for a chuckle was not one of them.

"Huey, Jazmine is going to be my girl. I don't know what your intentions are or what you have planned for your relationship with her but I want you to dead it."

"Look man, Jazmine is my best friend – "

"Oh really, and when did this happen because wasn't didn't y'all just start talking again last week. Why don't you go back to treating her the way you were before and we won't have any issues, okay?"

I turned in my seat to face him head on. "It seems to me that you have me fucked up. My name is Huey Freeman and you do no tell me what to do. I think you have Jazmine fucked up too because if you think she's going to fall in love with you over chicken nuggets and flowers you're wrong. We're not 7, we're not 17."

"Can you two please shut the fuck up?"

Ms. Jones had apparently woken up while I was talking.

"You know what we have five minutes left. So, we are just going to sit here in silence."

I looked over at Emmanuel and noticed that he was smiling. I turned to look back at Ms. Jones with only one thought on my mind.

This nigga might be crazy.

Ms. Jones let us go five minutes early because of good behavior but really, I think it was just because she was sick of waiting for time to pass. On our way, out of the door Emmanuel bumped me causing me to stumble forward slightly.

"I'll see you around, Freeman."

"For your sake, I hope you don't."

I watched him walk towards the gymnasium doors assuming he was going to go out to the football field to finish his practice. I watched him until I felt aa presence behind me.

"Move, Mr. Freeman I want to go home."

I sidestepped out of Ms. Jones way and watched as she walked away as well. I'm not sure what she taught but she looked to be in her early twenties at the oldest twenty-five. Her skirt was tight but it hit her knees and she wasn't showing any cleavage so, I assumed she wasn't just a substitute teacher looking for something extra in her check. I had heard that we were getting a new sign language teacher but I wasn't sure if that's what she was teaching.

It was no matter Jazmine was waiting for me at the hill. I texted her letting her know I was on my way so she wouldn't leave or think I had forgotten about her.

At first when I got to the hill I didn't see Jazmine. I was about to call her when I heard a voice from above my head speak up.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

I looked up and saw Jazmine had climbed the tree and was looking out at the sunset. She looked so peaceful up there the sun was hitting her in such a way that the green in her eyes pop. Before I met Jazmine, my favorite color was black, after meeting her all the colors that could describe her became my favorite. Even then there was something about green.

I walked a few feet back and jump into the air to grab the tree branch above the one Jazmine was sitting on. She scooted over to be closer to the trunk of the tree so I could sit beside her.

She rolled her eyes at me and laughed, "You are such a show-off."

I smirked at her and she pushed at my shoulder. "So, what do you want to talk about Huey.

"Well, you know how Ms. Oswald wanted to see me after class?"

"Uh-huh."

"She wanted to tell me that I had gotten an A on the quiz."

Oh Huey, that's a- whoa whoa…"

I put my hand on her back to keep her falling backwards out of the tree, most likely breaking something.

"You know what Jazmine, how about we get out of this tree. I think you'll be safer on the ground."

"I think you're right."

Before she finished her sentence, I jumped out of the tree and put my arms out to catch her when she jumped.

"Alright Jazz, you can jump and I'll catch you."

She nodded and slowly slid out of the tree. She closed her eyes and squealed as she fell and I caught her bridal style. Once I caught her she opened her eyes and looked into mine with a smile on her face from the excitement of the fall. Her smile fell into something more sultry and I felt her leaning forward in my arms and I moved my face closer to hers.

Just as our lips were about to touch she sighed and I felt her breath on my closed lips. My eyes that had automatically closed, opened to see what was the hold up.

Jazmine pushed at my arms and I set her on the ground gently in a standing position. She put her hand on my shoulder and smiled sadly up at me.

"I'm sorry Huey. I was way out of line doing that."

"Jazmine."

"No Huey, I know what you are going to say and you don't have to say it. I know you don't feel the same way."

"Jazmine."

"Huey."

I raised my eyebrow at her. "Are you almost done Jazmine."

She crossed her arms and huffed. "Yes, I am done."

"Look Jazmine, what I've been trying to say is-"

I was interrupted by the sound of Jazmine's phone ringing

Jazmine's POV

I really didn't want to hear what Huey had to say it was my own dumb fault for being distracted by him, it was those wine colored eyes. They were intoxicating enough as is, but up close I was damn near drunk.

So, I was excited when my rejection was put on hold by a phone call.

"Hold on a second, Huey."

He sighed in exasperation but I dismissed and walked over to my bag anyway. I rifled through it until I final grabbed it.

"Hello?"

"Jazmine, where are you? School ended two hours ago and you haven't been home yet."

"Daddy, I met Huey at the hill."

"You couldn't have let me know first!"

I held the phone away from my ear and rolled my eyes. He didn't have to yell into the phone.

"Jazmine Elizabeth DuBois get home NOW!"

"Fine Daddy I'm on my way."

I could still hear him yelling when I hung up the phone. I walked back over to Huey.

"Huey, I'm sorry I have to go. We can talk later my father is tripping."

"When is he not tripping."

I stood on my tiptoes and kissed his cheek. I waved at him and turned to leave but, not before I caught a glimpse of him with a slight blush on his face.

I've never seen Huey Freeman blush before. I shook my head. Maybe it was just the light reflecting off of his face.

Huey's POV

"So, what you're telling me is that you had the perfect opportunity to tell Jazmine how you felt and kiss her and everything but you let a phone call get in the way."

I raised my head up from my hands and nodded at Caesar who had come over presumably just to eat but, was here to listen to me vent.

"I'm starting to think that Riley was right."

"Right about what?"

"You being a little bitch." He laughed and caught the rock I threw at his head.

Riley walked past the living room cackling at what Caesar had just said. He didn't stop to join in the conversation though and just continued up the stairs. I assumed he was on the phone with one of the little freshman hoes. They were easier; his words, not mine.

"Look, I'm not a little bitch I assume the universe is trying to tell me that I can't force this thing with Jazmine I have to just let it flow."

"When have you ever been one to let the universe decide anything for you?"

"Since the universe has been messing with our relationship since the very beginning."

"No Huey, I believe that was you not being willing enough to stand up for your relationship and let other people control it. But, you know, do you. I'm just saying that you might fuck around and found Jazmine "flowing" into a relationship with someone else."

Caesar grabbed his plate and got up from the table without another word. I heard the dishes clashing in the sink so I knew he hadn't gone far.

Caesar is right… again. But, this time I'm going to listen. If Emmanuel wants Jazmine he's going to have to deal with me and I'm not going down without a fight.

A/N: Sorry, I have been on hiatus or whatever. I've been dealing with some things and if you really want to know what's up you can PM me I feel like it's too much to put here. I made this extra long and not too much like a filler chapter (I hope) so you guys won't be disappointed.
