Overrated Mates

Chapter 9 Brice

Winter's POV

The rest of the day went by in a fit of anger. Zach must have left school because I didn't see him at all. I snapped at all the teachers, punched Brice, dumped chocolate milk on some freshman, refused to eat lunch and had to go to the prinicples office where I knocked out Miss Weasle with her own bowling trophie. I got suspended from school for ten days.

My parents weren't happy when they picked me up at 1:30.

"Winnie what has gotten into you?" Dad looked at me through the rearview mirror. "Is this because of Zach? Is he influencing you?"

I avoid his gaze and look out the window. "Absolutely not! I do things on my own free will. Besides I think we are breaking up."

I feel a tear run down my cheek and sway it away before he notices.

He seemed somewhat sad, not because he liked Zach but because he knew I loved him.

"Happy Birthday!" Chris woke me up by screaming in my ear.

"Mhmm." I murmured, I didn't turn sixteen until tomorrow. "what are you talking about?"

"You slept all through yesterday." I heard Ro say.

Who lets them in my room all the time? Probably Mom.

"Come on. Ro made you a pan of brownies!" Chris coaxed and I sat up. I heard a camera click.

"What was that?" I asked.

"Your first picture as a sixteen year old. How does it feel?" Ro showed me her camera with a picture of me with a rat nest of hair on my head.

"Tired."

We walked downstairs after I got ready. Sitting at the counter was the one and only Brice. Next to him was a present and card.

I almost gagged. Except that as soon as I entered the kitchen I smelt the strong scent of forest and meadow. It was heavenly!

Brice straightened when he saw me and took huge sniffs.

Chris and Ro looked between us with a shocked look on their face. They looked like fish.

"No way." Chris jumped up and down.

Brice and I were mates.
