The A girl by Hope (100 best novels of all time TXT) 📖

we drove home, and I smiled.
“I suppose it was, I think if he stays out of my romance life we could be friends.” I said and my dad nodded thoughtfully.
“So you still like Aaron?” He asked and I smiled.
“I can’t help it; he’s so sweet and funny.” I said and he smiled.
“Well, good luck with that.” He said and we drove in silence. When we got there I dragged myself out of the car and forced myself to go to my classes.
Once the last bell rang I refused to run straight to Aaron, and I smiled realizing my schedule called for me to watch the angels and demi gods today. I smiled walking to their section when someone jumped in front of me.
“We need to talk.” Ciaran said, and I bit my lip knowing he’d keep bugging me unless I said I forgave him.
“I will, but right now I have some angels to babysit.” I joked watching him smile, and he grabbed my hand as I walked away.
“Wait.” He said turning me to him gently, and I cocked my head as he pulled me to him, and I saw Elle out of the corner of my eye. I sighed as he was about to kiss me, and pushed his face away from mine.
“Ciaran I loved you before now I don’t so much. I’m trying to be your friend because I still care about you, but please don’t torture yourself, me, or Elle b trying to be in love with me when you’re not.” I said and Elle smiled at me.
“Does that mean you’re okay with us being together?” He asked hopefully and I laughed.
“Fat chance. No way will I be okay with you guys dating. Not after all the lectures you gave me, and because of those lectures I can’t trust you with her. She’s my baby sister, and you won’t lay a hand on her.” I said watching his smile falter.
“Cheer up it’s not the end of the world.” I joked lifting his face by his chin so he’d look me in the eye.
“Give me some time, but don’t tell Elle. She’s headstrong and will do something crazy if she thinks there’s a chance I’m over you.” I whispered for only him to hear.
“Yeah, I understand.” He said dropping my hand and I smiled.
“I really do have to go.” I said finally and he smiled weakly at me. I walked towards the angel camp anticipation rising in me.
“Aaron!” I squealed when I saw him, and I ran straight for him. He opened his arms to embrace me. I jumped up on him bending my knees so my feet stuck up like in the movies while he wrapped his arm around my waist. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and he put me down slowly.
“I missed you to.” He said smiling and I beamed up at him.
“How inappropriate.” Another angel muttered and I hissed towards the voice.
“Be an angel and show some compassion. Mind your own business.” I growled, and Aaron put his hand on my check forcing my face to be directed towards him.
“Who cares what they think?” He asked me and I shrugged.
“That’s true. So what’s new with you?” I asked him and he shrugged.
“Me and Vanessa broke up other than that nothing.” He said and I smiled even bigger. My face started hurting and I spoke as calmly as I could.
“Good riddance she was a total witch anyways.” I said and he smiled.
“I thought you liked her.” He said and I laughed.
“She hates me I hate her. I lied to be supportive.” I said and he smiled at me.
“What’s gotten into you? Why are you so happy?” He asked me and I smiled.
“I’ve just been waiting for you to break up with her for the longest time.” I admitted smoothly and he gave me a curious but amused look.
“Why would that be?” He asked me and I smiled.
“I’ve been wanting to tell you something, but it’d be easier to show you.” I said still in his embrace. My body tingling from the fact that he still had his arms locked around my waist.
“Is that so?” He asked me suspiciously and I nodded smiling. I bit my lip as I leaned closer to him and he leaned his head down to meet mine in a slow gentle kiss. It didn’t surprise me that his kiss felt innocent just like I thought an angels kiss would be. It didn’t feel like I imagined it would, but I suppose that’s because I’d met and fallen in love with Adrian.
“Get the picture?” I asked him and he laughed.
“Oh I so do.” He said leaning in and kissing me again a little fiercer.
“So, I take it that we’re on the same page?” I said and he smiled nodding.
“Does this mean you’re officially my girlfriend?” He asked and my heart dropped with guilt as I thought of Adrian’s face when he found about Aaron and I. Then again I needed this cover to throw the scent away from me and Adrian’s secret love affair.
“If that’s what you want me to be then I’m yours.” I said and he smiled.
“I like the sound of that.” He said grabbing my hand, and I smiled.
“Should we go tell Chris he doesn’t have to keep bugging us about how we should date anymore?” I asked him laughing easily with him.
“Yeah, he’ll be way happy, but just promise me you won’t give him the same I’ve missed you present.” He said and I smiled him teasingly.
“I make no promises.” I said walking in front of him holding his hand with both of mine. He smiled as we walked across the path to the demi gods campus. I spotted Chris and snuck up behind him jumping on his back and covering his eyes with my hands.
“Guess who?” I whispered, as his hands grabbed my legs to give me support.
“Is it my favorite, but long lost little vampress?” He asked me and I smiled.
“If her name was Allie then yes.” I said laughing as I jumped off his back.
“We have some news.” I said as Aaron wrapped his arms around me from behind me just like the perfect boyfriend.
“No way!” Chris yelled and I smiled.
“Yes it’s true.” I said watching him smile.
“Finally, you’ve liked each other since day one I swear.” Chris said supportively, but in his eyes I saw his disappointment, but I rolled my eyes.
“That’s such an exaggeration.” I said even though it wasn’t. From the first day I met Aaron I’d been in love with him. It wasn’t like Ciaran where I fell slowly and never noticed or Adrian when I didn’t realize I loved him until his lips met mine. With Aaron I saw him and BOOM I knew something was different. He was a perfect angel and stuck up for me the second he met me. He’d always been perfect.
“Actually it’s not.” Aaron teased and I smiled.
“So maybe it’s not, so what?” I asked and Aaron shrugged it off easily.
“I can’t wait to see Ciaran’s face.” Chris said wickedly and Aaron let go of me so he could look at me.
“I forgot all about him Allie! Will he hate you forever?” He asked me concerned like an angel should be and I shrugged.
“Who cares if he does?” I asked and they both gave me a look like they didn’t know who I was. Which made sense if I thought about it sense I’d always defended Ciaran’s rude behavior and I’d never done anything without considering his feelings. Now, that I think about it, it was probably obvious to everyone except me that I loved him.
“Who are you?” Chris asked me and I smiled.
“You guys have missed out on a lot let me tell you that.” I said biting my lip as I considered telling them about my father and Adrian. “I caught Ciaran and Elle in a hot and heavy make out session. I was so mad; bottom line I realized I loved him, and then I realized I actually didn’t love him.” I said laughing at the stupidity of it all. “Then he kept making me talk to him, and I threatened him and Elle. Then he kissed me and I told him to basically go screw himself, and now we’re kind of friends. Well, he thinks we’re friends, but I’m only talking to him so he’ll stop bugging me about talking to him again. Now you know why I don’t care what he thinks. I mean how hypocritical Elle is a human and he was basically going to screw her when I walked in!” I exclaimed still mad about the sight of their betrayal.
“Well, Allie he probably didn’t plan on her being human much longer.” Chris said and I snapped at him angry at Ciaran.
“He will not lay a hand on her perfect living body.” I said angrily and Chris held his hands up defensively.
“He only meant that its obvious Elle wants to be a vampire. If he doesn’t change her it’s only a matter of time before she has someone else do it.” Aaron said soothingly but I got mad at the thought of anyone doing that to my baby sister. I may be mad at her, but I still love her.
“No one will do anything to her while I’m at school. They’re smart enough not to touch her while I’m here because they know if they do then I’d rip their hearts out.” I growled, but it was hard to stay mad in Aaron’s presence. Angel’s had that effect on people because they’re aura rubbed off on other people’s aura.
“Allie, if Elle asks someone to change her then it’s no one’s fault except her own.” Aaron said sternly, and my lip twitched in frustration.
“Elle is ignorant and doesn’t think things through. She is naïve, but the vampires aren’t so if they change her in there lust to taste her it is their fault.” I said as calmly as I could manage.
“Allie you can’t blame others for her actions.” He said and I felt a growl scratching to escape my mouth. This was the reason Aaron would never last a long time with me. He was too nice, to goody two shoes for my taste. Personally I like a bad boy.
“I can and will.” I grumbled and he grabbed my chin tilting my face up so I could swim in his brilliant blue eyes.
“You won’t be here forever. What about when you graduate?” He asked and I bit my lip this was something I hadn’t figured out yet.
“I have to go.” I said with a frustrated sigh pushing his hand off my face. I started walking to my normal walking area to watch everyone.
“Wait Allie.” Aaron called chasing after me, and wrapping his arms around me as he turned me to face him when he caught up to me. He grew his wings wrapping them around us as he kissed me with a fierceness I didn’t know Aaron possessed.
“What was that for?” I asked out of breath. It was cozy and warm inside his wings not stuffy or irritating like you would think it would be.
“I couldn’t let you leave while you were upset with me.” He whispered to me, and I looked at him wondering how I was so lucky. Elle was the prettier one out of the two of us, and nobody could argue that point, yet here I was with the hottest guys chasing after me. Chris wanted me or so everyone told me, Aaron wanted me, Adrian wanted me, Ciaran was complicated, Blade from the witches had a crush
