Chapter 31: New Jazzy

You lucky President Obama is not here to see this! You're lazy, you need a hobby or somethin'!

Give me an allowance and I'll find a good hobby.

Allowance?! I allow you to live here. I allow you to eat my food! I allow you to run up my electricity!

I mean a money allowance.

Well how about this? Trash is starting to stink, and guess what? You're allowed to take it out. He he he.

Granddad, Riley Freeman

(The Fundraiser)

Jazmine's POV:

I dropped all of my clothes running down the stairs and jumping into daddy's arms. I was mad and I needed to ask him so many questions but I didn't feel like asking right now. I just needed to feel somebody arms around me and after all that shit with Huey I knew it wasn't him. I snuggled my head into his neck and let small tears come out. Not big ones. The ones that dry on your cheek before they even get all the way down.

Daddy chuckled. "Haha, Honey what's the deal?" he asked hugging me back.

I drew in a deep breath. " Daddy he...I don't know what to do." I admitted.

He walked me to the living room and sat down. "Honey there will be other boys. What about Daniel? He seems very nice." he said.

I stopped crying and pulled away. "W-What?" I asked wiping my tears.

"He didn't deserve you. Who does he think he is dragging you into some dangerous mission? For god sakes you could've died!" he exclaimed ignoring me and puling me into another tight hug.

I pushed him away and stood up. "Wait I never told you anything about him choosing Sophie, or me and Daniel kissing, and I know for sure I NEVER told you about the mission thing so how the hell do you know?" I asked angrily.

"Language Jazmine!" he said.

"Don't even try to avoid the question!"

He sighed and shook his head. "You have to understand-"

"Stop saying that! I don't have to understand anything!" I shouted.

"Jazmine please calm down. I was just trying to help you. He was tearing your life apart, you've never been as sad as you were then. Some guy came and dropped it off. I thought I was helping, I really did." he said.

I glared at him shaking my head. "Helping? You thought you were helping? Helping who? I LOVE HUEY! Why can't you understand I love him? You weren't helping and you know you weren't! You were being selfish!" I stormed out of the living room and ran back to my room.

I slammed my door. What the fuck is wrong with people! I hate him for doing that! I hate Huey for being right! Yea I said it, I hate Huey Freeman. I looked back at my clothes. I picked up the load and walking downstairs headed to the downstairs kitchen trash can.

"Jazmine sweetie please." daddy said desperately.

"Shut the fuck up!" I yelled over my shoulder. Damn I was acting like a badass and was liking the taste of it.

I threw my clothes away and then went back upstairs getting ready. I put on my only pair of gray sweatpants, a black tank top, and white hollister jacket then put my hair into a messy bun. I grabbed my credit card and walking out the door. This was gonna be the last day that I was ever gonna look like old Jazmine. I walked outside hopping into my car and driving away. I walked into the huge mall and took in a breath. I'm walking in as old Jazmine and I'm going to leave as whole new person.

"Oh my gosh Jazmine!" someone called.

I turned around and Jenny came running to me. We were friends, in fact we met here when we bumped into each other at a really girly shop I used to shop at. She was tall but had a figure with blue eyes and black hair. "Hey Jenny." I said forcing a smile.

"There is a new sell of glitter gloss at G is for Girly. Come on!" she exclaimed grabbing my wrist.

I snatched it away. "Um, sorry Jenny I'm here for a different reason." I said.

She pouted. "Fine but I'll pick you up something kk?" she asked.

I sighed annoyed and wished she would go away. "Sure Jenny why not?" I said then turned and walked away before she could say anything else.

I walked aimlessly around. Truth was a huge chunk of me wanted to go back to G is for Girly and buy a whole new even more girly wardrobe. But I couldn't. I was gonna prove that I wasn't the same Jazmine because apparently whenever I said it no one believed me. I stopped right in front of the store just looking in.

"Hi." the lady said smiling. "Are you here to buy anything?" she asked.

I fidgeted with my fingers and stared nervously at the clothes. They were so not like me, nothing like me. I drew in a deep breath ans forced myself to look back at the lady and smile. "Yea I am." I took a last look back outside. "Bye old me." I thought to myself.

Cindy's POV:

I groggily walked into school that morning. Damn I did not miss this shit. First I couldn't sleep because Annie was up all night with some nightmare, poor kid, so I had to keep getting her back to sleep, then I woke up extra early to get her to school. Damn this life style was killing me, but I wasn't giving up. But back to my school, now I gotta get caught back up with all my school work I missed. That's gonna take up this whole month probably! Ugh, I hate school. I wore a pair of normal blue jeans, a white tank top and a navy blue hollister jacket over it. I slammed my locker just as the loud ass bell rang. I swear why did I even come to school this morning.

"Hey baby." Riley whispered in my ear kissing my cheek.

I blushed and turned to him. Oh yea that's why. I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him. I was so happy to be with him again. I promised myself I would never do anything like that again. Every kiss we had filled me with excitement. I pulled apart and smiled. He wrapped his arm around me and we walked away to class. It was funny how me, Riley, Huey, Ceaser, Daniel, Sophie, and Jazmine all had the same class. I'm pretty sure that teacher hates us now. It wasn't a surprise that when Ceaser came back everybody was surprised. I mean he WAS suppose to be dead. But we lied and said he was actually in a coma or some shit and they dumbasses believed me.

We walked inside sitting at our normal seats in the back. Daniel sat next to me, Sophie sat in front on him, Ceaser sat next to her, Huey sat in front of Riley, Jazmine was supposed to be sitting in front of me but she wasn't there.

"Aye afro freak." I whispered to Huey.

Huey turned around with a scowl. "What do you want?" he asked.

"Where Jazzy at?" I asked.

"How should I know." he gruffed and turned back around.

I turned to Riley but he ignored me looking behind me to talk to Daniel. I sighed, where was she? She's been taking i really hard ever since Huey chose Sophie but then Sophie got with Ceaser or some shit I don't really know. I heard the bell ring again signaling class had started and slumped back into my seat.

"What's wrong?" Daniel asked.

"I don't know where Jaz at. She been ignoring my texts all weekend." I said to him.

"Cindy McPhearson! You of all people should be listening!" the teacher snapped.

"You of all people need to hop off her dick." Riley mumbled beside me and I blushed snickering.

"What was that Freeman?" the teacher asked.

I shook my head. Oh no. Riley cleared his throat. "I said-"

Then the door swung open. There was a girl wearing a Marilyn Monroe v-neck shirt, a red tank top under it, and some tight ass fitting shorts. She had her hair down and long, it was strawberry blonde, her emerald eyes scanned the room then landed on me. A smirk grew on it. I raised one eyebrow. She looked familiar but I couldn't pin point where from. She pulled her glasses off her face and made her way to the back sitting in Jazmine seat.

Wait Jazmine? Jazmine! "Jazmine?" I asked.

"Aye what up C-Murph?" she asked in a ghetto accent.

My mouth flew open and I wasn't sure if I should start laughing or wondering what the fuck was going on. It seemed like the whole class was looking at her surprised. 1. Jazmine ALWAYS wears skirts to school 2. She never wears V-Necks unless she has to and 3. Jazmine only wore shorts to impress Huey and from what I know she was pissed at him. I tried to find an explanation but I just couldn't think of one.

"Damn girl what the fuck happened to you?" Riley asked.

Jazmine turned to him rolling her eyes. "Um nothing. What I can't get a new outfit?" she snapped.

Riley raised one eyebrow. "Shit I was just asking." he mumbled.

"Enough! You of all people know that tardy is no acceptable." he said. Then rolled his eyes huffing and going back to whatever he was teaching.

Jazmine snickered and rolled her eyes. Now maybe this wasn't the time but I couldn't help but laugh, Huey was looking at her the whole hour like he could just eat her alive right now. Riley snickered beside me and we joined in. Soon so did Daniel, then Ceaser, then Sophie. Jazmine twirled a piece of her hair and chewed noisily on her gum paying no mind, Huey was still staring at her. She let out an annoyed huff and turned to him.

"Take a pic, it'll last longer." she said then let out a forced snarky laugh.

Huey scowled. "What happened to you?" he whispered asked as the teacher put on a boring video.

I leaned against Riley shoulder and looked at the two of them enjoying the show. "Damn I wish I had some popcorn." I said.

"Shiiiiit..." Riley mumbled bringing out a big bag of Hot Fries. I chuckled and we dug in eating them.

"None of your business. Shouldn't you be with your girlfriend?" Jazmine snapped.

"Oh drop the act Jazmine." Huey said annoyed.

Jazmine whirled to him abruptly. "What act? I know when WE dated I got in trouble for flirting with other guys." she turned to Sophie and glared. To my surprise Sophie rolled her eyes shaking her head in an annoyed way too. "Guess guys always change for whores." she said. Then stood up exiting the room.

Sophie sat there mouth still open. Riley started to laugh so hard he choked on the Hot Fries.

"What now?" the teacher stomped his foot turning to us.

"Reezy..." I warned before he could open his mouth. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it. He seemed to calm down.

"Nothing." Ceaser answered.

The teacher rolled his eyes again and then turned back to his desk. I kicked Huey's desk forcefully. He turned around already angry.

"Look white girl-"

"Shut the fuck up. Now why haven't you gone after her yet?" I asked.

"I don't have to. She won't listen-"

"She won't listen because she doesn't know you fully love her." I said cutting him off again.

He just stopped and scowled at me. "What?" I asked.

"Are you done cutting me off?" he asked.

I flicked him off. "Now go nigga before you lose her completely." I said kicking his desk again.

Huey sat there for a while then stood up. Before he left he turned back to me. "Thanks." he mumbled then ran out the door. I smirked and leaned back against Riley's shoulder again.

"You're just gonna let him leave like that?" Daniel asked the teacher in disbelief.

The teacher shrugged eating another of his donuts. "I've given up on you kids." he said.

"Aye in dat case." Riley said standing up. I stood up to ready to leave.

"Cindy McPhearson and Riley Freeman sit back down!" the teacher demanded.

"But you let Huey leave!"

"And Jazmine!"

"I said sit." he said.

"Nigga I ain't no dog." Riley said but sat back down.

I shook my head sitting on his lap. Shit it ain't like the teacher would care anyways, like he said he had given up on us. As Riley wrapped his arm around me and I snuggled deeper into his chest I couldn't help but think again how much I was so happy to be with him. Riley was my other half, my ride or die nigga, my best friend And even though for a while I had forgotten it or something I remembered now. I felt him bend down and kiss my forehead and I blushed. I just hope Huey and Jazmine can work out there problems.

Huey's POV:

I couldn't believe I taking advice from Cindy. She was the last person I ever thought I would take advice from. Yet I ran down the hallway at full speed. Jazmine speed walked still huffing and mumbling to herself angrily. I stopped her spinning around. She didn't resist, didn't even struggle. She looked up at me with her big emerald eyes. They looked so sad, so hurt.

"I'm sorry." was all I was able to get out.

She finally pushed me away. "It's not your fault. Well I mean part of it is. Part of me is taking my anger for my dad out on you." she said softly.

"Jazmine what's going on?" I asked.

She looked up and shrugged wiping a tear. "He's my dad Huey. The only one I thought I could trust." she stopped wrapping her arms around her. She seemed tinier like that, and more vulnerable. I hated to see that it brought out my instinct to protect her and truth was from something like this I couldn't.

I walked forward and hugged her. Her tiny body fell against mine as if searching for some strength. "You can trust me." I said.

She pulled apart slightly looking up at me. "How can I? I thought I could be time and time again you've broken my heart more and more." she said the last part coming out choked. She buried her head in my chest again. "You chose Sophie." she said softly.

"And you know why I did." I said.

She looked up at me again eyes watering but no tear falling. She sniffed. "Well how do I know you won't just hurt me again?" she asked softly.

I shrugged. "You can't."

She frowned slightly. "Not the best answer Freeman.' she said.

"True but it's the truth. I can't you can't, nobody can but I know I'll try not to hurt you." I said.

"Just like that promise you made me like months ago?" she asked.

I shook my head. "Even back then Jazmine I wasn't completely sure I loved you. And I'm sure you felt the same way. Now-"

"Now we both know." she finished. I nodded. She sucked in a deep breath and pulled away completely. I thought she was gonna walk away again and felt a sharp pain go through my heart. But instead she stood there arms crossed and looked me up and down.

"One thing you have to know is this is me now. I'm not changing. I'm not a kid anymore." she said.

"I know." I took a step further.

"I mean it. Even the outfits. I like them."

"I understand." another step.

"Either you love me or you don't." she said and looked into my eyes.

This was the big question. The thing me and her had said so lightly before but here in this hallway when I said it I had to mean it. She looked at me and her eyes looked hopeful. I took a step forward.

"I do."

She smiled brightly and reached over slowly kissing me. I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her back. This was amazing. I love Jazmine, I might not say it all the time but hopefully she'll still know I do. We broke apart and her whole face was red.

"I love you Huey." she said softly.

"I love you Jazmine." I said equally as softly.

She smiled kissing me again. Again we broke apart. We just stood there not really wanting to go to class or anywhere. Just stay there with each other.

"Are you gonna get used to my new style?" she asked.

I looked her up and down. Jazmine had nice curves that she rarely played with. This was one of those times. "Will the rest be like this?" I asked. She nodded with a smirk. I looked her up and down again, the bulge in my pants started to come. "I think I can manage." I said with a smirk.

Jazmine giggled taking my hand and walking to class. "Oh and Huey?" she asked.

"Yea?"

"I think you should stay out here until that bulge goes down." she said winking then walked into class.

I looked down at my pants then back at her and made my way to the bathroom. This was gonna take a while.
