Girl talk

~Just gonna reply to a review rq~

_

JonnyD31: Yup i most certainly remember you!! and yes it is me from youtube! :) And thank you very much i try my very best! i really wanted to put elements of the comic as yes i do agree that it could make the show better if they added it! and you also pin pointed exactly how I wanted isis to be! i didn't really have a clue how to write her at first because all i had was a picture and a small description from the old archive you were talking about, but then yes i did encorperate her into the story as someone who will help jazmine with her identity crisis, someone cindy might be jealous of for multiple reasons, someone that riley can interact properly with (i guess?), someone huey can talk to about emotions or sumn, and overall just someone who deals with everyones issues like a mama (i named her mama isis for a reason lol) just like how the small description said. I really do appreciate your reviews and i actually used some ideas and ways characters interact from your replies on youtube to see how i can make this story better ;) I have a full plan for this story so keep reviewing and tell me what you think!

also to everyone reading, sorry for the confusion with the text again it's much clearer on watpadd. I'm just really not bothered to insert all the bolds and italics and things into FF because it's soo laggy and confusing lmao.

alright...backtodaflick!

"Well, this is my home!"

Jazmine and Isis were standing in front of Jazmine's house after school. They had just split off from the rest of the group that made their own individual ways home, well, apart from huey and riley who went down the same street as they are her neighbors. Anyway, jazmine used her key to unlock the door and stepped in, removing her shoes and proceeding to make her way upstairs after turning to isis and saying "Make yourself at home! i'm just gonna grab some stuff then we can start"

Isis nodded and began removing her shoes. She looked up and started to walk around the dubois residence and thought damn this place is nice. Everything was in a shade of cream (in the show it's pink but yk) and was somewhat modern to say the least. She plopped down on the family couch and looked around. There were portraits of Jazmine when she was younger, Jazmine and some family, Jazmine and her parents- Ahh her moms white, that's probably why she wants her hair straight she wondered. But what about her dad? he's black, why hasn't he tried to convince her? Well riley did say he was "whiter than white" so that should explain it.

Anyway, there was even one picture of Jazmine, Huey and Riley and it looked as if it was recent, but not at the same time. They looked about 10, riley 8 in that picture, which would have been about 4-5 years ago. Isis smiled, that picture portrayed their heavily contrasting personality's perfectly, even though she has only known them for a day now. They were all in front of a mall and Jazmine was smiling brightly next to huey who was obviously scowling but it was his calm resting face kind. Riley was other side of Jazmine holding up gang signs and had on a mischievous teethy grin. Isis couldn't help but admit riley was cursed with a baby face so he couldn't do his glaring face without looking adorable. She laughed, he would deffo call her gay for that!

She wondered why the rest of the group weren't in the picture until she saw a photo of Jazmines parents again but with an old man that had the brothers eyes and brows. The three of them were all in formal wear. Hm, maybe it's just their families that are close? but why an old man and not their parents? She brushed it off. Maybe it was just some family gathering, but why was it in a frame? maybe they had some sort of special connection? Yea okay she was overthinking it now. Although those red eyes and eagle brows were ringing some sort of bell...

Her thoughts were cut short as she heard Jazmine coming back down the stairs with some of her own hair equipment in a small basket. "You want something to eat? I got sweets, chocolate bars, milkshakes, anything really" Jazmine asked, heading to the kitchen. Isis got up to follow her and replied "Yea lemme get summa dat shake please"

"Alright, coming right up!" She smiled. She began preparing the milkshake as Isis went over to the radio and Kick your game by TLC started playing.

"Ooooo old-schooool, just how i like it"

Isis raised her brows twice, looking slyly at Jazmine in a playful manner. "cmon lemme kick a little game to ya,

cmon lemme kick a little game to ya" Her sly look deepened a little making Jazmine giggle. She pointed her finger to jazmine and curled it up, turning the other way and began mouthing the words.

"I been watching you, watching me and i know you want it" She did some little seductive boogie over to the couch (boogie lmaoo idk how to describe it) and stuck her leg over the armrest seductively "But it depends on how you-" She slapped her thigh and dragged her palm along it and up her torso "Kick-" She then went into a body roll and a seductive look crossed her face "-Your gaaame"

Jazmine was now in a fit of giggles watching her friend. She couldn't help but think to herself she's just as playful as Caesar.

"I been watching you-" She stuck her two fingers to jazmines direction then turnt it to her own "-Watching me, and i know you want it" She did some Chilli-style dance moves then pop lock and dropped. "But it depends on how you, kick, you gaaame" She flicked her hair, bit her lip and then after a second fell on the floor laughing along with Jazmine.

"Your such a perv Isis, what if your mom sees you?" Jazmine exclaimed inbetween laughs

"My momma? Hell she would join in! My momma a bigger me!" Isis exclaimed back after calming down a little.

"Woah really?"

"Hell yea! Don't worry you gon meet her when she gets back, she don't bite"

"I can tell already" Both of the girls laughed. "Well, what if your dad saw you?" Jazmine asked curiously. Isis froze for a second but then relaxed. "Hell i would give anything for him to see me now"

Jazmine became confused "Huh? what do you mean?"

Isis turned away from her with a sad smile on her face "Ma pops...he gone"

"Gone as in left?" Jazmine asked, concerned.

Isis cleared her throat uncomfortably, deciding whether she should spill part of her personal life to someone she only just met earlier, but she trusted jazmine enough to say at least something. She's been welcome and kind to her and besides, it's nice to talk to people about it so why not. "No, he...he expired."

"Expired?" Jazmine scrunched her face up showing her blatant confusion. Isis chuckled at that. "Yea, das the term my councillors n therapists told me to use when stating his status, although it's not more comforting, hell it sounds worse! but it's something. I think the term is horrible though"

"Oh." They both sat in silence for a few seconds then jazmine spoke up "So...he passed on?"

"Yup, but i wouldn't say that, i would say his energy just transformed, like my favourite female rapper would say."

Jazmine nodded in thought "That's a really creative way of thinking" Isis smiled at her "Yea, all credits to her though, that ain't me" Isis shook her head and put her hands on her chest which made both of them laugh.

"Well sorry for bringing them up, you didn't have to tell me if you didn't want to. My bad if it made you, yknow, uncomfortabl- "Oh no no girl it's iite, it's been a looong time, like 5 years. I wasn't really even all that close to him anyway. I've grown since so im used to it"

Jazmine grinned "It's funny cause Huey and Riley also lost their parents at a young age, although nobody knows how. All we know is that it was 6 years ago and i have a small feeling it impacted them heavily, or at least huey. But i wouldn't know because i met them 2 years after it supposedly happened."

So that explained why the old man was in the picture, he's probably their guardian. No wonder principal was talking bout riley's grandad "Ohhh forreal? Do they get sensitive when you talk about their parents to them?"

Jazmine nodded vigorously "Oh yes, very. Especially huey. It's like an unspoken rule to even utter the word 'parents' around them."

Isis slowly nodded, taking the information in carefully. She wanted to pry on, but she barely knew these people so she decided to make a mental note to look more into that later. She also decided to give jazzy a word of advice "Just next time they, or huey more like, gets enraged, tell them to look up to the sky. When someone dies, a new star is born. Theyll know which star is linked to them as it'll shine bright" Isis winked.

Jazmine gave a knowing look to Isis "You got that from that rapper didn't you?"

"Yeealreadyknow" Isis stuck her tongue out and they both laughed.

They both sat in comfortable silence then suddenly glanced at eachother and it hit them.

"THE MILKSHAKES!"

*•. . .•*

17 minutes later, they were both in Jazmines bedroom and Isis was showing her different products and how to use them.

"Work it in from the ends. Cmon girl! Ends to roots, ends to roots"

Jazmine was currently practicing working some of the product into her hair while Isis was mentoring her.

"So this one over here is a deep treatment conditioner and it will help you restore bonds in your hair. You use this with the allocated shampoos, moisturers and oils that will lock in moisture, and your hair will feel soft in days okay? And don't mix and match brands! they're made to work with their own products!"

Jazmine scrunched her brows in focus and slowly nodded "okayy...?" This was a lot to take in, she never knew natural hair was so much work! But she really wanted to do better with her hair. Normally she would just stick a brush in it and go. It would tangle her hair like crazy but it worked to an extent! Does huey do this all the time? Cuz i doubt it.

"Mhm so i want you to stop using tresme and always use a satin bonnet when you sleep or you gon wake up with a whole load-a work on yo head and that ain't on me girl! Now, this-" She picked up another bottle "-is to fix your peroxide and sodium level balance. Your hair is low porosity so- girl that bracelet you have on is sooo cute! Where'd u get it?"

Jazmine looked confused for a second but then her eyes lit up and she blushed slightly, looking down at the silver bracelet that had 'One love' engraved on it. "Oh, Huey got it for me on my last birthday"

Isis wiggled her brows "Oh really?" in which she recieved a playful swat on the arm from Jazmine and a "Oh shut up it's not like that"

"Not like what, Like that?" She gestured to Jazmines rather bright blush to which jazmine quickly hid with her hands "I don't like him like that, i don't think so at least..."

Isis rolled her eyes "Mmmhm, sure girl"

Jazmine shot her a look "What? You think i do??"

Isis rubbed her hands on her thighs and gave jasmine another knowing look. She could already tell that Jazmine likes huey, take this from a person that walked into their lives a few hours ago. All the way home Jazmine was with huey and all her concentration with him. Even at lunch she was just with huey. The way she lit up at his name says it all.

Isis took her wrist into her own hands and brought it up to her eye level. "Well he really did put thought into it and it says one love jazmine"

"Yea but he told me he thought it said 'one life' when he was buying it but he wasn't looking at it properly and picked that one up accidentally. I don't mind though, its special to me because he doesn't normally buy gifts for anyone, he doesn't believe in that kind of thing"

The brownskin girl halted her inspection and furrowed her brow "Doesn't believe? Why? that's ridiculous"

"Honestly I don't know. Ask him yourself, he always has an explanation for his beliefs."

Isis waved her off "Well whatever. Make up as much excuses as you want, you like him"

"How?"

"Well let's say this. As a 'friend-" She rolled her eyes "-what do you like about him? as in his traits"

Jazmines eyes instantly lit up and she practically started blabbering on and on about him.

"Well he's mysterious and listens to everything i say but he does say some mean things but i guess his intentions are meant to be good? i don't really know i never understand them, i just like being around him. His eyes are like, soooo nice! have you seen them? they're like red, how do you even get red eyes? Anyway he's smart and has a lot of hidden talents, he can basically do anything and even though people see him as a pessimistic, distant, quiet most of the time, angry kid he's actually caring for the people he's close with and goes out of his way to protect them without them even knowing. Oh and let's not forget his afro it's soooo soft even though i've only felt it once he doesn't let people touch it so. Oh and his whole demeanour is like all "frick off" and "don't play with me" kind of thing and it makes me feel very safe for some reason but he changes it for me like it's soo weird like he actually talks to me? like..."

Isis was just grinning the whole time. This girl be smitten over him. She been steady talking for 5 minutes straight! Talking bout Ohh i don't like him yea girl miss me with that bullshit, das the doubt talkin. Even fucking stevie wonder could see she likes him. She's still going on!...

"...and he's just like really strong like what the hell yknow like he's been like that ever since i met him, he's always fighting someone it's like inhumane strength for a kid like he's not scared of anything..."

...and on...

"...did you know him and riley got into a brawl with 5 other kids and the headteacher tried to step in and stop them but ended up getting beat too so they were sent to a juvenile delinquent rehab facility thing like beyond scared straight but then they made friends with the innmates? Oh and he's on the FBI list but i don't even know how to feel about that i'm not really bothered..."

..what? i bet that's only a fraction of what they done considering he on FBi. That's probably what they was laughing at at the office. Anyway, and on...

"...And he's actually just really cute like we all used to be pretty short when we were 10 but people would still get intimidated by him but i didn't because i can see through all of that..."

...aaaand ooon...

"...and i saw him smile once!!!" Jazmine squealed "he has like one dimple on the right side of his face it was sooo cute! but of course it only lasted like two seconds- Oo! i like the way that when he doesn't understand something he arches his brow..."

...damn really? Okay this needs to stop...

"...Oh and he smells really nice- "YO! Das enough! Damn you got a shrine for him too? You don't just like him, you love that nigga point blank PERIODT! Can't tell me nothin, you been ranting too long without ANY breaths and i said as a friend! That don't sound like as a friend to me! you like him! Deal wid it" Isis cut in, shaking her back to reality. Jazmines face became bright red as she fiddled with her bracelet "Okay maybe i do, but not that much"

Isis gave her an incredulous look "not that much? not that much???? Get the fuck outta here!! if it's not that much then i guess jesus can come down right now and errybody would continue bout their day! Shii i can't even rant about my momma for that long and das family"

Jazmine began to giggle as isis looked back at her like she was crazy. "What?"

"You sound like Mr Freeman and riley"

"Who's Mr Freeman? Their Grandad?"

Jazmine nodded. They went through a few more products and hair utensils until they both heard knocks on the front door.

"Who's that? Your parents?" Isis turned to her. Jazmine shrugged "I doubt it"

"Where yo parents even at?"

"Oh they're both at work, they've started coming back a lot later though...especially my mom" Jazmine looked down. Her parents were obviously always arguing but she had a slight feeling at the pit of her stomach that it had gotten deeper than that.

Isis grew concerned and put a hand on her shoulder "Oh well i'm sure it's just schedule changes right?"

"Well, i hope so..." She couldn't start another convo as the knocks became louder. Jasmine yelled "COMING!!" and ran down the stairs to open the door.

She opened it to reveal Cindy.

Oooo tension! what's cindy gonna pull this time with isis around?

Fun facts from the comic about my likkle boy Huey that you may not have known:

1. He's afraid of sledging in snow

2. He has cried infront of Caesar before

3. He has shown feeling bad for saying mean things to Jazzy multiple times, even admitting it once

Back onto my actual fic, I got a comment on WP to put more Juey moments, and of course! but they're 14 so nothing sexual! just cute. This story doesn't really centre around shippings much but you'll never know that might change!

To ma peeps on Watpadd: Keep Voting and commenting!
