Falling for the Fallen by Jaden Bieber & Rebecca Polonsky (interesting books to read for teens txt) 📖

see Logan as much as he probably didn't want to see me...
I sent an alert to the school saying I was sick with the phone provided for me. I know this was a very very bad thing. I don't usually lie or play sick, but I just need a day to think at least... I don't think anyone would miss me anyway.
I really didn't know what else to do, so I just laid down and slept. I didn't think there was anything else to do.
When I woke up, it was 2:05. Everyone gets out soon.. I sighed and took a quick shower. I was actually starting to feel sick. When I got out of the shower I walked out of the bathroom quietly with a towel wrapped around me.
I looked through my clothed and picked out Sofie short shorts and a black tank top. I also picked out a bra, underwear and socks. I dressed and looked over at the clock. 2:30. Ah. They get out about now.I wrapped a towel around my head and sat on my bed. Meh..
A few minutes later I heard a knock on my door. Who was that? I walked over and opened it slowly. "Oh.. Cody?"
"Hey, Gabby, are you feeling ok?" He asked, obviously worried about me.
"Y-Yeah, I'm not feeling too good."
"Did Logan do something?" He asked. My eyes widened. Why would he ask that? "'Cause he was chasing you yesterday..." He quickly said as if reading my mind.
"Oh, right. Uhm. No. Me and Logan are pals. He thinks it's funny to chase me... even though I did attempt to put pink hair dye in his shampoo." I lied. He chuckled.
"Well, I hope you feel better." He handed me a piece of paper. "Call me if you need anything or just want to hang." He winked. I just smiled and nodded.
"Thanks for checking up on me."
"Anytime. Later." He walked away and I closed the door behind him. I figured it'd be Lilly banging on my door and wondering where I was.
As if I was some kind of crazy physic, my door busted open. I looked to Lilly and smiled. She closed my door behind her.
"You could've knocked." I teased, reading worry and anger all over her face.
"RILEY MAY TURNER, WHERE THE HECK WERE YOU TODAY!? I THOUGHT YOU DIED!" She ran up to me and hugged me, knocking my towel off my head. I patted her head.
"There there... I'm sick." She jumped off my like I was poisonous. I giggled.
"Oh, that explains a lot." She said, as if she thought I was absent for every other horrible reason, except being sick. That explains why she said she thought I died.
"Sorry." I finally said.
"It's okay, but I missed you!" I smiled.
"I missed you, too." I said.
"Okay, then next time, get over your sickness and come to class." She smiled at me and I smiled back. "Oh! So.. I saw Cody Robin was at your door.. he handed you paper.." She smiled. "Yes, I was watching. But! What did the paper say!? Let you're new best friend see it!" She smiled, poking my stomach.
I walked over to the edge of my bed, picked it up, and handed it to her.
"Here it is." I smiled at her.
"Okay.." She opened it quickly.
"He said to give him a call if I needed anything. Or if I just wanted to hang out." She laughed at me. "What..?" She handed the note me to.
"That's not all he wanted to say. Read the bottom." I looked down at the paper. My face turned bright red. I could feel it.
"You're beautiful. Remember that. Love, Cody .R." As soon as Lilly saw my face she hugged me so tight.
"You know, he's one of the hottest kids in the school. The only reason he isn't popular is because he actually treats girls right. And because he isn't such a man-whore."
"Who is a man-whore?" I asked, trying to get off the 'Cody' topic.
"Well, there's your all-time favorite Logan..."
"Seriously...? Oh god." I rolled my eyes.
"Yup. Also, Jake and Ryan. I think you know who the whores are."
"Don't even remind me." I groaned. So, Logan is a horny man-whore with... 'needs'? That's probably why he's been up my butt! He's a man-whore! A player...
Disappointment coursed through me... but why?
I looked at Cody's note containing his number and love note. Hmm...

That night after Lilly left some make-up work she brought for me. It was all really easy to do, but I couldn't stop wondering what Logan was doing right now. Ugh. Damn it, Riley. Who cares about I Logan! He's not even... normal.
I sighed. I slammed my books shut and put them away. I walked over to my window and saw Logan on the bleachers again. What the heck?
I pursed my lips. Should I go out there?
I sighed. No.. I have to get this kid out of my head. I have to stay away from him! I looked over at my clock. 11:12 p.m. Anyway. I could get caught. I looked over at my phone on my bed. Hm..
I took Cody's note out of my pocket and blushed right away. He thinks I'm beautiful? No one ever say I'm beautiful. Just 'hot' or 'sexy'. I grinned my teeth. I hated when people say that. Pisses me off; so rude. I slid my chair across the floor and to my bed. I picked up my phone and started typing in his numbers. I didn't wanna call him right now, so I saved it in my phone and started a text.
'Hey, uh.. Cody? You up? It's Riley.' A few seconds later I got a reply. It was like he was waiting for me to text him.
'I'm up. Why, need something? I could come right over if you need me.' I smiled. He was sweet. I texted him back.
'Well, you don't have to..' I sent it. I should have told him not to. What if he gets caught? He texted back. I answered it and closed my eyes. After a few seconds, I opened them, wanting to know what he said.
'I'll be there in a few. (:' I blushed. He was also...adorable!
Girl, get a hold of yourself! You came here to learn, not flirt. I looked back at my phone. There really isn't anything I need... Maybe he meant... ugh.
'I don't want you getting in trouble. Forget it. I'll see you in class tomorrow.' I texted him back quickly, but a knock on my door made me jump.
"C-Come in!" I watched Cody open the door and shut it behind him.
"Do you really care if I get caught?"
"YES!!!" I yelled like, "Duh!"
"Well, I don't. It's you. I don't care if I'm caught." He smiled, making me shyly smile.
"No need to argue with that one." I murmured. He chuckled and sat on my bed.
"So, what's up?" He asked. Oh crap.
"Uh..." I looked around the room for a good excuse. I got nothing. "I dunno." I said, looking innocent and dumb-founded.
He looked at me. "Tell me the truth, Riley." He sat down at the edge of my bed and leaned on my chair, bringing our faces really close. I blushed.
"Well... I wanted to ask you something." He nodded implying to go on. "I wanted to know if you believe in uh, this is kinda stupid... fallen angles? And also.. love at first sight." I looked away.
"Yes, I believe in fallen angels. And.." He put his hand on my cheek and I looked towards him. He smiled. "I have a reason to believe in love at first sight... Riley." I blushed harder. This would be like using him to get Logan off my mind... Wait, No! Its not! I can like Cody. Who cares? I dont need Logan in my life. I want him out. And I... I want Cody in.
"U-Uhm, I see. Has it happened to you before?" I asked. He pulled his hand away with a sigh and look down.
"Yeah..." He said, softly.
"Tell me about it." I said. He looked up to my face.
"Listen, Riley... I really don't want to talk about it right now. I'm sorry." I nodded. I understood.
"You're still in love with her?" He just frowned at my question.
"Yeah. I haven't stopped since the day she literally ran into me." I laughed.
"I remember when I ran into you. That was funny... but it hurt my bum." I pouted. He just laughed.
"You landed on me, how did your bum hurt?!"
"I dunno!"
"So, you just wanted to know if I believed in thoughs two things?"
"Mhm!" I smiled. I was a little over tired and when that happens, I'm a nut.
"Okay... why?"
"Why what?" I asked.
"Why did you want to know if I believed in them?"
"Oh. Uh, well. I was reading some book online. It was about fallen angels. And yeah, I didn't know if I believed in them or not." I smiled. It was a pretty good lie. He smiled back. And looked into my eyes and looked away.
"Then what about the love at first sight."
"Oh, yeah. Another book." He turned back and smiled. His eyes didn't seem so happy, though. I looked down. Then back at him. He was leaning on my chair again. "Anything else? I came all the way here for two questions." He smiled. Such a loving smile... I got up and he watched me as I sat next to him on my bed. I sat cris cross facing his way. He smiled again. Making me want to melt into a puddle on my bed. He then turned and sat the same way I did.
I put up my hands. He stared at me like I was crazy.
"I wanted to play patty-cake." I said, innocently.
"I'm not two, and neither are you." He teased.
"Wh- YOU DON'T LIKE PATTY CAKE?!"
"Nope." He said, popping the "P".
"GET OUT!" I didn't know if you'd call this flirting.
"I plan to, right after I ask you out on a date." I instantly blushed and Logan popped into my mind once again. UGGGHHHHH. THAT BOY!
"When and where?" I asked.
"Tomorrow night. 6:00. Diner in my dorm." He said.
"Fine, but I'm allergic to nuts." I warned, smiling.
"Kay."
That way pretty much how the rest of the night went...

Chapter 5

Next day, I went to all of my classes. We moved seats in Science for some reason, making me farther away from Logan. I was kind of sad, but I ignore that feeling.
At lunch, I sat with Lilly. As far away from Logan as possible. I was kind of happy 'cause we got ice cream with our lunches. Woohoo!
"What kind of ice cream did you get?" Lilly asked me.
"Oh, I don't know." I took a bit and swallowed. I didn't recognize the flavor, so I took another bite. It was really good, until my breathing started to stop slowly.
"N-Nuts..." I choked out, holding my throat.
"What about them?" She asked.
"I'm allergic to... nuts." When I have nuts, my throat swells and I can easily die.
I fell to the ground and dropped my lunch next to me. Lilly keeled next to me. I could barely breathe. No one was looking at us. No one thought we were cool. Lilly looked scared, so scared.
So she screamed, "SOMEONE HELP! RILEY CAN BREATH!" I held my neck and looked up. Cody? I heard mumbling, but I
