Sophie was shaken. She had been fine that morning when she was with Quentin. When she arrived home, she had been confronted by Ms. Frost. The conversation had been awkward at best, and Sophie's unwillingness to engage in an open dialogue about the situation only made things worse.
Seeing the other Cuckoos hadn't been any better. The five was upset that Sophie had felt the need to sneak out. They had seen Quentin's devotions, and knew they were sincere. They didn't find it sweet or adorable.. Their initial response was disgust, but as they'd consider it, their response changed. Quentin wasn't the same annoying nerd they'd known. He was a different annoying nerd, and was an even bigger threat. Before, Quentin could have damaged the school, and the relationships between humans and mutants. Now, he was threatening to break the five.
It was the first time Sophie had seen the other Cuckoos look at her like that. It felt as though they were turned against her. The path was uncertain now, for all of them. None of them had decided what course of action to take.
She was near panic. The emotions that she'd kept so well-hidden when she was with Emma were spilling over everywhere, and the telepaths in the home would know it. Rose didn't fall into that category, though. She knew Rose was in there, and she knew the girl was upset. She knocked again, trying to respect Rose's privacy by not peeking into her mind to see why she was unhappy.
