When Angels Fall (Fallen Angels) Read Online Free PDF

sorry for you, I will lock your ring. And if you promise not to tell anyone, you can lock mine.” Nervously, she put her hand out.
    Nick smiled and grasped her hand. He wondered at the warm jolt of tingles that ran up along his neck when he touched her. He turned the ring, locking it and dropped her hand.
    Chloe looked startled and got up.
      He followed her out. What just happened, he wondered as they made their way toward the parking lot. Nick stopped at Kevin’s car. They d just kept talking after class and found themselves there. He actually enjoyed talking to her. She wasn’t like the other girls he’d known. She wasn’t flirting with him and it was a welcome change for once. He noticed her friends walking up and wished they would just disappear for a few more minutes. “Here comes your crew.”
    “And there’s your brother. We’re just gonna hang at my house if you wanna come.”
    “Can I get a rain check? First day at a new school, my mom is going to want to grill me.” He really wanted to go, but knew that his mother would be waiting. There was still so much he wanted to know about her.
      “It’s pretty much an open invitation. Just ask.”Chloe started to walk towards her friend.
    Suddenly, Nick found himself calling to her, “Hey, Chloe, can I have your number?” Then, he wondered why he did that. There was just something about her eyes that held him prisoner.
    She turned and paused for a minute. “You’re not worthy yet, Nicky! I’ll let you know when you are!” she called back while laughing, and joined her friends.
    Kevin heard the whole thing and laughed at him as he unlocked the car. “Wow, Nick, shot down in the school parking lot. Not a good thing.”
    Nick groaned that he‘d heard the whole thing. “She said ‘yet,’” Nick gloated and smiled while turning it around on his brother.
    Kevin checked the girl out in the rearview mirror. “She’s cute. What’s her deal?”
    “That was the girl from the carnival, and before you even start, she’s just a friend, I think. Sister Mary Margret had her show me around today. Don’t give me that look.” He knew if he said anything more than that, he would fall into Kevin’s trap. He wanted to hold onto the high of having been at her mercy all day.
    “Wow, she is pretty cute. Listen, baby Bro, I know you have this new rule for yourself which again, is really stupid and from the look on your face? It will not last. But we just moved here. Don’t fall for the first girl you meet. Mark can tell you how that all works out. Especially, with the way dad is and how we keep moving.”
    Nick knew his older brother was looking out for him, and the sad part was that he was right. “Yeah, you’re probably right.” That sinking feeling had come over him again. The one he got when they were told about this move. But looking back at her, as she talked with her friends, he noticed how her hair glowed in the sunlight. “Still, she’s pretty nice. It just wouldn’t be worth being anything more than just friends because of dad and the empty promises we always get about moving.” Nick kept watching her until they were out of sight.
    Their mother met them in the kitchen when they got home. She'd been cooking dinner and the air was filled with the tantalizing scent of fried chicken. It was the meal she always made for the first day of school, along with the chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. “So how was it? As bad as you both made it out to be?” Gina Allen questioned her two sons. They had complained all morning and now came the moment of truth.
    “Gee, Mom, it’s the first day. Give us a chance to get in the door before you start with I told you so.” Kevin handed her papers to fill out.
      She watched him go straight to the fridge and grab a bottle of water.
    Throwing his hair out of his face, he drank it down like he hadn’t any for days.
    “Yeah, it was just like any other school we have been to. It is just a question of what crowd
