EVERYONE WAS HEADED to Wally's and in the car Embry brings up Zuri's first day.

"So. What do you think so far?" Embry asked her.

"It's cool. Although it would be better if my brothers weren't here though. I missed them don't get me wrong but they hover." Zuri confesses.

"Well no offense Z, we just don't like them." Jake states.

"So I've been told several times." Zuri stated laughing.

Quil looks over at the girl. "Do you like it here in the res though? I know Atlanta is city and this is not." Quil asked her making conversation.

"I like it here more. It's peaceful and I don't have worry about my mom bringing men in and out the house." Zuri confessed looking at him.

"Did any of them...you know?" Jake asked turning around.

"Oh. NO. NO.NO. My dad would've been had me if that were to happen. No. I would leave and go visit my friends when she did that." Zuri told the boys as they pulled up in the parking lot.

Zuri did a double take when she saw a yellow jeep and a silver nissan parked near them.

"What the hell?" Zuri mumbled.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Jake stated.

"What?"Emrby and Quil asked together.

"Zuri's brothers, Paul and Jared are here. And Kim. Poor thing." Jake stated.

"Why?" Quil asked groaning hitting his head on the window.

"Must've followed us." Embry stated.

Zuri threw the car door open and stormed over to her brother's jeep as everybody else was getting out.

"Stalking me now?" Zuri asked Xavier.

"No. I'm a hungry boy. I wanted Wally's. Coincidence seeing you here though." Xavier stated.

Zuri's eye twitched. "Okay. I know for a fact you didn't come here on coincidence you followed us here." Zuri argued.

"Proof?" Zac asked jumping out the jeep.

Zuri looked at her twin. "For starters you five were watching me get in the car and us head in the direction." Zuri continued.

"I don't think that's considered proof." Paul explained smiling.

Zuri took a breath.

"You know what. I just want to go home now." Quil stated from behind.

"Then leave." Jared asked.

"Why are you such a dick?" Emrby asked the Cameron boy.

"Why was Kim's name your mouth at lunch?" Jared snapped, forgetting who he was talking to.

Zuri turned her head quickly.

"How'd you know that?" Jake asked.

Xavier stared Jared in the face giving him a serious look.

"Forget what he said. Zuri come eat with us." Kim stated distracting everyone from the previous altercation.

"She's eating with us." Embry stated pulling her back.

"Look. She doesn't need all of this testosterone so she should eat with us." Kim said.

"It will surely give her a break of talking motorcycles and cars for a change. Am I right?" Kim asked looking at Zuri.

"I'm fine actually. Thanks though." Zuri spoke up. Kim's smile faltered while Paul scoffed.

"Your lost." Paul mumbled.
