In the car

By the time Andy and I got back to the living room, the guys were already getting ready to go.

"Common guys, we’re about to get going" Lewis said.

Andy and I hurried outside while Marcus was already in the car. He drove the car towards the front door so we all could hop in.

Brian sat at the front seat while Lewis and Sylva sat in the middle seats, and Andy and I sat at the back seats. For about twenty minutes, the drive was silent. I just sat, looking through the window trying to count

as much trees as I can see on the road. Lewis was just tapping his feet, obviously enjoying the music. I didn't actually like the music playing...I think the song is by 21 savage. Don't get me wrong, but I’m not really

a fan of 21 savage. I know, I know...weird huh? yeah.

Honestly, most of the things he raps about is all about sex, pussy and all those things I'll rather not know about. It was later on I realized that Lewis wasn't actually listening to the song from the radio, he had his ear pods on, so I guess he's listening to a better song.

"who's in for a game of 'I spot with my little eye'" Brian said.

"Ouu, great idea" I said in a bright tone, while Brian just stared at me through the rear-view mirror. I blushed and looked downwards.

"Can someone tap Lewis" Marcus said.

Andy smirked and slapped him at the back of his head, one of his ear pods fell off.

" Hey! what gives" Lewis replied in an angry tone, while the rest of us burst into laughter.

"We're about to play 'I spot with my little eye' " I replied him in an excited tone.

"cool" he replied looking relaxed.

" I'll go first" Brian said. "I spot with my little eyes something red" he added.

"Ouu Ouu, Marcus' shirt" Lewis said.

"You can do better than that Lewis" Brian said sighing.

"The roses in the flower shop over there?" I asked unsure.

"Yup, that's it" he answered with a smirk playing on his lips.

Andy dragged me in to whisper saying" Is it just me or Brian over there has being taking shots at you"

" Emm, I don't know...What do you think?" I replied anxiously.

"Jazz, Jasmine...common spill it" he said looking serious.

"ok! not really hitting on me...but he's kind of flirting" I replied him sighing. " I think he likes me" I added in an unsure tone rather sounding like a question.

"Jazz, be careful. Don't let him take advantage of you" he said in a concerned tone.

"Oh! please, what's the worst that could happen" I replied playfully.

Andy's POV

I just kept staring at her after her last statement. She was still so innocent and had such a beautiful soul and mind, still the Jasmine I grew up knowing from childhood. If only she wasn't so naive, her life would have been better, and if only she would just love everything about herself, from her body structure...just everything about her doesn’t just seem perfect but amazing. Her insecurities are killing her softly, her depression rises every single fucking day, and I don't really know how to help her. And holy chalupas she's mother fucking nice to the core, sweet and she's so damn friendly with people that they sometimes believe she has feelings for them.

I was sitting alone on my little purple chair, after being bullied of my lunch money by a group of students in my class. I still wonder how I happened to be scared of them, in kindergarten two.

Jasmine, just walked over to me saying "Hi, I’m Jazzzz...as in for Jasmine" she said lightheartedly with an inviting smile.

I just looked at her and turned away whilst saying "Go away, leave me alone"

"That's not very nice!" she replied me as she folded her arms and making a face like that of an adorable hamster.

"sorry" I said stifling my giggle.

" That's okay, I just wanted to share my lunch with you" she said with joy glinting in her eyes.

"sure, I’m really hungry" I replied shyly.

That was how we became close friends. I later noticed her legs; they weren't straight but in the shape of a bow.

Stupid curious little Andy had to ask. "what happened to your legs, why are they bow?" I asked looking at them.

"They are called bow legs, and I was born with them" she said trying to stifle her tears. She smiled brightly saying “you wanna go to the playground, it’ll be fun".

"sure" I said whilst she held my hands dragging me out of the class eagerly.

It was from then on, I took it my responsibility to care and love her, at some point in time, I actually believed I was in love with her. And trust me, any of her guy friends telling her that is just like her brother saying he's hopelessly in love with her. I eventually realized that it was just a brotherly love I had for her, what a relief right...I know!

" I spot with my little eye something green” Jazz said finally dragging me out of my flashback.

"the forest!" Sylva exclaimed.

" Oh silly" she replied him. "Do you see any forests around here?" she asked him.

"What!" he replied her as he shrugged. "I'm not really good at this game" he added.

"My shirt?" Lewis asked her playfully.

While I slapped the back of his head again saying "common dude, isn’t it obvious that it's the trees around" I said to him. Everyone eventually burst into laughter.

"Common Andy, cut me some slack here" he replied me.

"common Lewis, it was actually funny" she answered him giggling.

Oh my, how cute and adorable she looks whenever she giggles or laughs. The way she covers her mouth when she laughs too hard is just unique.

Then I notice Brian staring at her through the mirror. I kind got a little protective of her, because I definitely do not trust that Brian guy, only because Jasmine here has a history of crushing on the wrong people.

I immediately put my hands over her, dragging her closer and giving Brian the death stare through the rear-view mirror that says ‘mess with her, you die'.

We all continued to play our little game, and I admit, it was pretty fun. Seeing Jasmine in such a good mood, looking so happy, joyous and cheerful, just makes me smile...to be honest, I’m actually shocked and impressed by how much she bottles up all her emotions.
