LOGINSince freshman year, Winter has been deeply in love with the charming yet broody Rey Leslie from her year. She had been waiting for the day that they would start up a conversation and get to know each other. And as fate would have it, that day came sooner than expected. However, not for the reason she would have wished. Her heart shattered into a million chunks when she learnt that Rey is after her best friend, Lee. Giving up was not an option for Winter, even after months have passed since Lee and Rey got together, she was waiting for the perfect moment to get her chance and that was what she got when they kisses. Eventually, Lee found out about the kiss, enraging her in the process as she cut the ties between her, Winter and Rey. Rey Leslie first glance upon Winter made his heart ceased beating as he thought she was someone he knew. After assurance from his best friend, Kellen that she wasn't, he proceeded to confirm it by himself- Even though he loathed attending classes, he just needed to see her to make sure he wasn't seeing things. In the process of the confirmation, he got paired with her for a project. Rey loathed it because she resembles the girl he knew but he couldn't back away as it seems he was drawn to her. Also, he kept running into her making it the more difficult to stay far. The bane of his existence came into town, threatening not only his life but Winter too.

In no time, the idiot blaring it would make me go deaf.It was the beginning of the week meaning another boring Monday. I would have to sit in history class all over again. A routine I wished I could eradicate.Hopefully, this week looks promising since I had gotten a spot in the popular squad.My hand went beneath the pillow to my right, brought out my phone as it vibrated.Rolling over, I grinned as Rey's name flashed on the screen. For the past two days, we had been texting and talking a lot, which made my feelings now harder to ignore. Hitting the answer button, I placed it on speaker so I wouldn't stress myself by glueing it to my ear."Hello,""Morning sunshine." He replied, his voice laced with sarcasm.
"Flour, ""Checked," I replied as Lee listed what was available for the cookies we desire to make for the sleepover.Lee put in some flour into a bowl, added butter and sugar. I watched as she mixed it. Dipping my thumb into the bowl, I took some of the batters, slipping it into my mouth."This tastes better than the others we made," I said, licking my finger as we finished mixing the third ingredients for the cookies.Lee grinned, taking the compliment.Unlike I, Lee had won several awards in baking competitions since she clocked eighth.

It was a few minutes past four and still quite early for me to be awake.About going back to sleep, my phone glowed on the nightstand signalling a call. I swiped up to unlock it, an unknown number flashed on the screen. My face contorted into a grimace as I pondered if I had given my number out.Certainly, I would remember if I did.I answered, and about to say that the person had gotten the wrong number when I listened to the voice at the other end."Rey?""Yep. I thought I got the wrong number, so bye." He said with a chuckle."Wait, " I whispered, careful not to wake Hailey. The wall
WINTER"Hey, Winnie the Pooh," Rey called out, waving as Lee and I strolled past the football pitch. I rolled my eyes and waved back. It was weird how we were behaving like casual friends. We just began talking today and he has given me a nickname which I was stuck with since he had called me more than fifty times today in everyone's presence and he did it by yelling."Winnie the Pooh?" Lee questioned and continued. "And when did you start talking to Rey?""Since we were paired and he said he did not intend calling me my real name anytime soon since "Winnie the Pooh" seems cuter!" I giggled, quoting his word."Are you saying Rey found you cute?" Lee inquired, frowning."I wished," I murmured."He only said the name is cute not me.
