Fall For Me ((The Tate Chronicles #1)) Read Online Free PDF Page B

listening in. Not to me, he couldn’t do that without me knowing, but to Josh. Seth had olive skin, short blond hair and was extremely good looking. He also had a creepy air about him that turned most girls off, me included. His eyes were dark brown almost black, and seemed to change in the light. He leaned forward onto the table and I could see the intricate pattern of the Celtic cross tattooed to his inner left forearm.
    Seth was my polar opposite, a Dark Angel whose sole purpose was to make my existence a living hell, no pun intended. But then without him things would get rather boring. We’d been close friends a long time ago, before his fall, but that quickly changed and I still to this day don’t know what happened. He made a choice that I didn’t understand, and I hated him for it. I worked hard every day to block the memories we shared, which was difficult since he’d been following me almost the entire time I’d been on earth.
    Seth seemed to get his kicks from making trouble for us. While Archer and I spent our time fighting the forces of evil, Seth was out there egging them on. If I was on your right shoulder encouraging your conscience to prevail, he would be on the left persuading you to do the opposite. Still, I wasn’t sure if I believed he was a complete lost cause.
    It looks like you’ll be joining me soon, Seth popped into my head.
    Not a chance, I shot back.
    Oh come on, Grace, you can’t fool me. Admit it, we’re too much alike.
    I am nothing like you, and I would never join you.
    We’ll see. Seth’s laughter rang through my mind. You know you can’t stay away. That’s the beauty of us, Grace, we have forever.
    Archer spotted Seth across the room and predicted our exchange. He could see I was a little rattled and put his hand on my arm.
    “Just ignore him. We’re better than he is.”
    I gave my brother a tentative smile. “I know. He just gets under my skin sometimes.”
    Around us everyone was talking about the recent break up. Josh and Abby were both popular people and let’s face it, what was high school without gossip?
    “Ok, Arch, as much as I love you and want to spend every moment with you, I’m going to find Emma before class starts.”
    “Are you ok?” he asked as I pushed my chair back.
    “Seth is nothing, you know that.”
    “No, I mean Josh.”
    I didn’t know what to tell him on that subject. We both knew the rules.
    “I saw the way you two were looking at each other before,” he said.
    “Nothing could possibly come of it, so why think about it?”
    “Just don’t do anything stupid.”
    I chuckled and shook my head as I walked towards the cafeteria doors. If anyone was going to do anything stupid in the Tate family, it would be Archer.
    When I reached the door Seth and his two creepy sidekicks, Ivan and Blake, were staring at me again. I knew they were also fallen angels, but there was something different about them I couldn’t quite put my finger on. The only difference I could see was Seth wore a ring on his right hand, like all angels did, but Ivan and Blake had no rings and I was yet to work out why.
    With no regard for school rules they all wore ripped black jeans, black T-shirts and the white school shirt unbuttoned over the top. I guess actually wearing the school shirt was a step in the right direction, if these boys could even go in the right direction. We’d all been at Hopetown Valley since the seventh grade, and I was actually surprised they hadn’t been expelled for one reason or another. They earned their bad boy label at an early stage, and most students steered clear of them for obvious reasons. They were just plain creepy.
    I wouldn’t let Ivan and Blake intimidate me though, or Seth for that matter, they were not as tough as they made themselves out to be. I think Ivan and Blake were too caught up with the image of being bad they weren’t smart enough to realise how Seth couldn’t give a damn about them. I walked out the door and cringed,
