Welcome back everyone. The next few chapters will be very Cherie-centric. Enjoy and review.
Cherie's brothers
Walking to her locker, Cherie opened and pulled out a lollipop she kept in her backpack. Removing the wrapper and putting it in her mouth, Cherie closed her locker and punched it three times. She would have punched it a fourth time but her fist started to hurt after the third time. Ironically, Basil's fist would hurt after the same amount times of punching a locker.
Opening her locker again Cherie looked at a picture of her and her brothers Capulet, 20, and Montague, 17.
Capulet or "Captain" as he was also known, was a paintball slinging rebel with a sweet motorbike and cool dissipation. Like his younger brother he stayed in Texas with his dad Cornelius so he could finish college and help their dad get back on his feet after the divorce. He called Cherie an angel because she was the most innocent little girl he knew and loved her dearly.
Montague aka "Monty" was a crazy, hyper, hipster. He loved 8-bit games, wrestling, good music and lots of coffee. Since he was still in high school, he would be allowed to wander A. Nigma whenever he visited.
Now while both of her brothers were good people they also had these little flaws. Monty was violent when on a coffee crash or ticked off while Captain on the other hand was always tough and mean, to everyone that wasn't family, and when his paintball roulette was added along with a bad day… It wasn't a pretty picture.
Most of the guys Cherie had been with before Basil hadn't been the nice sort. They had been jerks, that was all that had to be said. Basil was the first genuine nice guy she had ever been with of course to her brothers he just would have been another guy. To them she was sweet and innocent and any guys interested in her were not. Basil was a nice guy, not a jerk who would have left her crying on a kitchen floor.
Coming to that realization, Cherie took her lollipop out of her mouth. She then saw she still had the ring Basil had given her. Basil had given a good point, Cherie gave good points too they both gave good points.
She had gotten mad for a stupid reason. Going back to apologize to Basil she looked at the ring again. Put it on? Don't put it on? Ultimately, she decided to just hold it. Holding it was fine.
When she found Basil, he was outside beneath a tree on his phone. He wasn't playing a game or texting but talking to someone. As she got closer she discovered that it just wasn't anyone but his mom he was talking too.
