"Er..you feeling alright Jazmine?" Huey said awkwardly, raising a confused eyebrow at her. This made her giggle. "Huey, I'm fine. Am I making you uncomfort-"
"Yes you are making me uncomfortable" he interrupted, rolling his eyes. He then felt her lean away from him, settling back into her seat. "Sorry, I just thought.." her voice trailed off. Huey turned to look at her. "You thought what?" he asked with curiosity.
Jazmine shrugged and looked out the plane window. "I don't know, I guess I just thought you felt the same way" she said nonchalantly, crossing her arms over her chest. Felt the same way? "What's that supposed to mean?" Huey asked.
Jazmine turned and gave him a sarcastic look. "Wow, are you really that dense Huey? Clearly I'm attracted to you" she said, her cheeks turning a shade of crimson. Huey blinked in confusion before furrowing his eyebrows at her. "Oh" he said simply. Jazmine sighed and stuffed her hands in the center pocket of her hoodie. "Don't worry about it" she muttered, turning to look back out the plane window.
Huey slouched in his seat, now feeling a little guilty. But was he really that dense? Was she truly flirting with him this whole time? And more importantly, did he feel the same way about her?
Yep.
Huey wrapped an arm around her waist, softly pulling her closer to him. Instantly, Jazmine turned and grinned up at him. "I knew it" she whispered cockily before closing in on him with a kiss. Huey deepened it hungrily, his grip on her waste tightening. Her lips opened slightly to release a quiet moan, giving Huey the chance to slip his tongue inside. Jazmine started to run her hands through his hair just when Cindy interrupted them obnoxiously.
"Aye, cut that shit out! This is a public plane, ain't nobody wanna see ya'll asses sucking each other's faces off! Damn!" she yelled, causing Riley to buss out laughing.
Blushing, they pulled away from each other. "Sorry" Jazmine said apologetically, looking behind her and giving Cindy a grin. "Yeah whatever Jaz" she said with a smirk, shaking her head in disbelief. "Guess you not much a fag after all nigga!" Riley said through his laughter, hitting Huey upside the head mockingly. "Dammit, don't make me come back there Riley" Huey warned, turning to give his brother a glare.
"Hey now, let's not start with the unnecessary brotherly bickering. I don't think I can listen to you two argue all the way to Chicago for ten hours" Jazmine said, nudging Huey playfully in his side. Riley sucked his teeth as Huey rolled his eyes. Cindy laughed in amusement.
Jazmine watched Huey reach inside the duffel bag that rested at his feet and pull out a book. "Seriously?" she said, snatching the book out of his hand in disgust. "What? Give it back!" Huey countered, reaching over and grabbing it back. Jazmine rolled her eyes. "You're still the same kid when we were ten years old huh?" she asked with a smile. Huey snorted at that comment, brushing off his book as if she had germs.
"I wish I could say the same thing about you Dubois" he said, clearly annoyed. Jazmine giggled and snatched the book away from him again. She then rested her head on his shoulder and hugged the book close to her chest, making it to where he couldn't get the book easily. Huey sighed in defeat, softly wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her closer to him. "Who knew you liked to cuddle Freeman?" Jazmine yawned with a smile. Huey rolled his eyes, also yawning.
The plane ride seemed to calm down from that point on, hours ticking by. The occasional murmurs of people talking with their peers, or sometimes the annoying outbursts of Cindy and Riley laughing their heads off for some idiotic reason that was left unknown to watchers. Before time could tell, the four teenagers found themselves fast asleep, escaping into their own wondrous dreams. It was peaceful until..
"The plane is going to crash!" someone screamed in terror. Huey, Jazmine, Riley, and Cindy awoke with a jolt. "What the hell! What are we going to fucking do?!" another person screamed. The four teens exchanged nervous looks before jumping out of their seats like everyone else.
If you listened close enough, you could almost hear the pilot screaming from the front of the plane. A flight attendant hastily opened the side door of the plane. A gush of air filled the plane. Other flight attendants started passing out parachutes to everyone. "Oh. My. God. We're gonna have to jump!" Jazmine yelled fearfully when someone shoved a parachute in her hands. "Aw hell naw! I ain't jumping for nobody!" Riley shouted, throwing his arms up in frustration. Huey and Cindy looked at them like they were crazy.
"This isn't an option! Either jump or die niggas, and I'm definitely not leaving nobody behind!" Cindy shouted, grabbing Jazmine and Riley's wrist to make her point. "B-but I'm afraid of heights!" Jazmine screamed, grabbing Huey's hand with her other free hand.
"Just don't think about it" Huey said bluntly, pulling on his parachute. "Alright guys, we're jumping! Don't worry everybody, we'll be landing in Chicago!" a flight attendant reassured the crowd of panicking people. Literally, Huey thought. The shouting over the crowd grew louder as people started to jump.
Everyone tensed up when the plane started to lean.
"Shit, let's go!" Cindy said as she and Huey dragged a wailing Jazmine and a fearful Riley along with them to the front. Cindy pushed off some guy who was stalling, making room for the four of them to jump. "Alright ready?" Huey asked his friends, tightening his grip of Jazmine's hand. Jazmine shook her head violently as Riley yelled a string of curses. "No fucking way! Hell naw! I'm not-"
Cindy and Huey jumped, pulling Riley and Jazmine after them.
"Noooooo!" Riley and Jazmine yelled as they felt the solidness under their feet disappear. Cindy laughed as the air blew in her face, her hand still gripping Riley's wrist, thought her hold on Jazmine faltered. "Man, you crazy bitch!" Riley yelled at Cindy when she let go of him, causing her to laugh even more. "Reezy quit being a punk!" she mocked through her laughter.
"Alright, get ready to pull the strings to release your parachutes!" Huey yelled over the roaring wind. Jazmine's screaming never ceased. "One..two..PULL!" Huey commanded. Everyone pulled. Jazmine yelped as their parachutes flung them backwards into the air with a slight jolt. The rapid wind no longer making them tumble in the air. Huey looked down and saw water from a distance.
Shit.
