Mated to the Rogue *DISCONTINUED*

N I N E

The rest of the week passed by uneventfully, and I couldn't tell if I was happy about that or not. I didn't hear any more from my mate, and I was disappointed. Was that his brilliant plan? To leave me a note and act like everything was all good now?

I don't think so.

It was currently Friday after school and I was driving myself and Claire back from bowling with us and a couple other friends from school. Claire was acting as the DJ, hogging the AUX cord all to herself. Good thing it's April and the iPhone 7 hasn't come out yet or we would have some problems.

Suddenly, Claire sat up in her seat and let out a loud squeal.

"I love this one!" She cried, glancing at me with a huge smile painted on her face.

I was about to ask her which song she was talking about when the familiar beat started playing in the car. Claire and ai turned to each other, grinning like the idiots we were, and let out at the top of our lungs:

"That girl is a real crowd pleaser!"

I laughed, turning my attention back to the road. I absolutely adored this song. Even though I usually don't enjoy mashups, this one was a definite exception.

Claire and I sang the rest of the song as loud as we could, even though we have been told on multiple occasions that our voices are less than great, but what can I say? Haters gonna hate.

I dropped Claire off in front of her house and watched her walk in safely, because what kind of best friend would I be if I didn't?

I turned down the music and drove all of 1 minute to get to my house. Claire and I were practically neighbors, and it was great. We would just show up at each other's house and make ourselves at home.

I parked my car in the driveway, noticing Alex's car parked along the cracked sidewalk right in front of our house. I hopped out of my car and speedily made my way to the front door. I hadn't seen my brother in a week, even though we lived in the same house. Actually, I hadn't seen any of my family in that time frame. Not that I was disappointed about that.

"Alex!" I called out as I slammed the door shut behind me. I walked into the kitchen and saw him munching on some Ruffles. I bound over to him with a grin lighting up my face and gave him a hug. Or attempted at least. Alex pushed my face away at the last moment.

"Ew. Why are you trying to touch me?"

"Whatever, loser. I just wanted your chips," I stated as a reached over and plucked the bag from out of his hand.

"Hey! Those are mine!" He exclaimed in indignation.

"Not anymore, Sucker!" I yelled as I stuffed a few in my mouth and made a mad dash towards the living room. I got behind the coffee table, happily munching on the chips I had just declared as mine when Alex barged into the room.

He made a move to grab me but I moved out of the way. Whenever he tried to reach me, I would just move around the coffee table, resulting in us running around it in circles.

I was about to put another fattening morsel into my mouth when Alex tackled me to the ground, ripping the bag away from my hands.

"No! My chips!"

"Your chips? You stole them from me!"
