Chapter 8

Jazmine POV (up on the big tree):

I sat there patiently waiting for her to arrive. Why the hell was I so anxious? She was the girl who (although I may never admit it) could possibly take away Huey, my Huey. But yet I sat there anxious to see her and end this. I saw her walk slowly up the hill. I do have to give everyone created she was sickeningly beautiful.

"Hi." She said looking down something sounded weird about her voice was she nervous? I burst out laughing she was nervous? The girl had literally thrown me across the room like I was a feather and she was nervous?

"What?" she asked she seemed a little annoyed by my laughter.

"You're nervous? Are you kidding me?" I asked giggling uncontrollably.

Sophie rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest. "I'm not nervous, look can we just talk about the situation at hand?" she asked impatiently.

I finally stopped laughing and gave her a serious look. "Ok where should we start? When you threw me across the room? Flirted with my Huey? Was over my Huey's house flirting with him after what had just happened and I bet you even knew." I said staring her in the eyes.

Sophie lifted one eyebrow. "1. You tried to hit me first 2. I don't flirt and never flirted with Huey (lie) 3. And I still don't know what happened between you two and I haven't asked it's not my business."

I snorted at her response. "Yea it is."

"How?" she asked confused.

I let out a big sigh and told her the story of what happened between me and Huey. She sat there quietly like she wasn't listening but I knew she was it reminded me of Huey so much; damn that boy really got me head over heels. "So you see why you're a part of it?" I asked once I was done.

"Huh? Oh no I'm completely confused." She said sitting down next to me and resting her head on the side of the tree.

"Ugh I honestly think that if you would have never showed up today he wouldn't have had any doubts he would have known like he does know." I said and I was serious that was what I honestly believed.

"That has got to be the stupidest thing I ever heard." Sophie said I could tell she wasn't joking.

"How?" I asked sorta annoyed by her comment.

"Jazmine it had nothing to do with me, from what I know you and him have been best friends since forever without any warning that you might have feelings for him. Then one day you just kiss him? What did you expect?" she asked staring at me sternly. "You can't force anyone to like or 'love' you." Didn't that sound awfully familiar? In fact now to think about it, it was exactly what Huey had said to me.

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever."

"Jazmine Huey loves you not me. I'm not very good at making friends but if you're willing to try then…..then I suppose I am too." She said taking a deep breath.

I smiled and I knew my eyes were twinkling I loved making new friends and Sophie didn't seem all that bad, like a girl (less mean) version of Huey. "Ok." I said laughing.

As me and her stood up I gave her a hug I knew she wasn't going to hug back but I think every once in awhile (even antisocial) want a hug.

"You know I'm not Huey's only best friend he also has, had a best friend named Ceaser but he…" I said my voice trailing off not wanting to finish the sentence. I took a deep breath. "He died." I finished sadly.

I stared at Sophie her eyes were as big as a saucer. "What's wrong?" I asked concerned.

"Nothing, it's just I never knew Ceaser was friends with Huey I should've known." She said shaking her head confused.

"You knew Ceaser?" I asked.

She bit her bottom lip and nodded her head yes. "Me and him dated." She mumbled.

I sat there astonished. Ceaser had a girlfriend and never told Huey or me? I was a little hurt. Then I looked at Sophie who looked like every bad memory in the world was passing through her mind. She looked sad and angry and confused, I had never seen a person with so many emotions kept inside. Then just as fast as all that emotion was there it was gone like she had tucked it back way in the back of her head.

"I guess you guys were serious. Did you guys?" I asked giving her the look.

She smirked at my expression and punched me in the arm (it would bruise later). For a while we just sat there not speaking. The memory of the look on her face played again and again in my head and I don't know why it seemed so sad to me. Then I thought maybe the reason antisocial people were so antisocial it wasn't because they were born like that but because they didn't know if they could trust anyone anymore. Maybe something truly bad had happened to them, for Huey I already knew his parents died but what about Sophie? The whole thing troubled me, the fact that they couldn't talk about it or wouldn't talk about it, and the fact that I had a feeling that there was so much angry and hurt build up that there was nothing anyone could do about it. And that's what hurt me most of all.

Author's Note: Awww idk why but this seems so sad to me I guess there is hope for Jazmine and Sophie. Idk if the stuff I wrote about antisocial was true but if so I really feel for you guys and I'm sorry. Anyway I think the next chapter is going to be about Halloween I need to lighten things up well hope you like it R&R!
