Cherry Blossoms

C24

She sat quietly between Jacob and Seth as she watched the newly phased Quil  eat a whole plate of sandwiches by himself.

Quil was over the moon about finally knowing the whole truth  . Cherry wasn't and neither was Jacob .They didn't like it that their friend got involved now in this whole mess .

It seemed that the Cullens' return plus the other kind of Vampires and Victoria running around had brought new wolves into existence .

It made Quil phase .

" Atleast I got my friends back ," he kept rambling on as if his life depended on it ," Really , Cherry, I didn't think you'd phase too . Why'd it happen ? . I mean how?."

Cherry shrugged . She was still not sure how it happened .

" Well, I'm glad the four of us are back together again like old times . Where's Embry anyways?".

" Zara Greystone's place . She's his imprint ," Jacob replied ," bit of a bitch that one  ,but yeah ".

" Bitch my ass . More like a  racist ", Cherry put in her two cents worth .

" Cherry ...", Jacob said  his voice trailing off.

" No, it's true and you know it . Do I go around calling you a red skin?. No, I don't think so . But it's okay to call me a pale face in a real nasty way . It's fine . Nobody cares anyway about how I feel . I'm sorry ,but I'm not sure if I like racism . My Dad sure as ain't didn't raise me that way . I'm not about to start . Anyway , I'm gonna go do something productive like my homework ,come on ,Seth, I'll help you study for your English test . "

Seth got up eagerly and she  couldn't help ,but smile at his enthusiasm .

" Don't worry . I got your back ", he said when they went to sit in a corner of the porch  with their books out all over the floor .

" Thanks ,Seth . Atleast I got one friend . Has Jacob talked to Bonnie yet?".

" No . He's being stubborn . He's still in love with Bella ".

" Yeah and Bella's choosing the Vamp over our dearest Wolfy and yet she's still string him along writing letters and such which I have to carry like some mailman ".

She picked up her Calculus book and groaned . She hated Calculus .

" She still going to her Mom this weekend ?".

" Yeah ,with Edward Cullen and Dad hates it , but, hey , I suppose love can make you stupid ".

Seth chuckled . " You got experience ?. "

She sighed . " Well, Yeah . I guess I do . Anyway ,hand me your book and I'll quiz you . You can do the same with me after that ".

" Okay . "

For an hour they sat there helping each other with no one interrupting them .

Until_

" What the heck is she doing here?", Zara's shrill  voice  made Cherry  and Seth cringe because of the pain that it caused on their sensitive eardrums," you said she's not part of the pack anymore ,Embry !".

Cherry felt as if someone just punched her hard in the stomach . 

Was she missing something?. Or did Embry lie to the bitch ?.

" No ,Zara , she's here to help Seth today ", she heard Embry say ," she's really not a part of the pack any_"

Cherry stood up to look at not just the two of them ,but Sam , Kiowa , Emily ,Jared and Paul that had arrived just then ,from the beach ,by the looks of it .
