Unclaimed Love - E.J Belle (ap literature book list txt) 📗

aggravating and she hated his guts. But even still she didn't dare protest against Mr. Barkley's wishes.

 

She moved over towards the desk beside the player and did her best not to show she was irritated by the fact she had to sit beside him in maths class from now on.

 

I guess I would be sitting in maths class on my own from now on. As the time passed I did my best to get the sums done and before I knew it the class had ended and it was break time.

 

As we departed from the class I picked out a red apple out of my bag and ate it quickly as I made my way towards the library I always went there at break time, it was a place where I could think and have some spare time to myself.

 

As I rambled through various hallways  I had finally reached the library I smiled at the very thought of having some peace and quiet. I ambled into the library, it was a decent sized library, and there were plenty of computers on the left-hand side of the library for students to use, to check their Hotmail messages or to do their studies on. However they did have their rules, for an example you weren't allowed to eat or drink in the library or use the computers for social media purposes.

 

There were plenty of shelves on the right hand-side of the library where there were plenty of books to read, there were a few tables with four chairs and on each shelf was a category to say what types of books were there.

 

It was quite useful in my opinion. I made my way over towards the 'romance' section and picked out a book called 'Angels Home' by Regina Farrell. She was a brilliant author I loved her books, they were so well written I wish I had her talent to be honest.

 

I took hold of the book and sat down on one of the chairs at one of the tables that were free to sit at. As I opened the book and read the first page that talked about the author I couldn't help but chuckle quietly at the sentence apparently the author lived in Cuba with her eight imaginary boyfriends. Really how original I thought before deciding to move on to the first chapter of the book.

 

It wasn't long until I began to feel slightly tired from reading the book but I did my best not to fall asleep I was after all at college not at home in my bedroom.

 

I sighed checking the time on the clock in the library that hung on one of the grey walls and noticed that I had five minutes to get to my next class. A sigh escaped my red luminous lips before putting the book back in its place and leaving the library we were back in D twelve apparently with Mrs. Ferguson.

 

I didn't waste any time I made my way back to my main classroom. When I entered the classroom I sat down beside Sarah who was still looking annoyed as ever so I thought it was best not to speak to her especially when she was in this state.

 

To be honest we really didn't do very much in the class all we really did was talk about how important it is at being a journalist and everyone was asked what kind of journalists they would like to be when they are older.

 

Most of them said that they wanted to write about famous people, like Katy Perry and Brad Pitt. But I wanted to write about nature and animals, which I ended up getting some laughs and some whispers from some of the popular people at the back row.

 

As for the rest of the day, lunch wasn't anything special I just spent it with Sarah in the canteen and spoke about what we planned to do on the weekend. When we both mentioned that we weren't doing anything really on the weekend Sarah came up with the suggestion that we could go to the cinema.

 

"Allie how about we go to the cinemas on Saturday?" She suggested.

 

"Sure what time?" I questioned her.

 

"How about 7.00 pm? You could meet me outside the Riverside Cinema." She exclaimed.

 

"Yeah sure. I'll check with my parents." I admitted.

 

"Okay babe." She smiled happily.

 

After lunch our classes went by very quickly and I have to say when the day had come to an end I have to say I couldn't wait to get home I wanted to fall asleep so badly since I had such an headache.

 

I made my way over towards one of the buses that were already at one of the bus stops outside the tech. I took out my purse that was in one of my college bag pockets and thankfully I had enough money to afford the bus.

 

Once I had paid the bus driver to take me near to where my house was I sat down on one of the seats at the back and gazed out of one of the windows and eventually I found myself drifting off into what I hoped to be a peaceful slumber.

 

I was in a woodland area: it was a forest. I: was surrounded by large trees, grass that was tickling my legs and flowers that were growing beautifully. The sun was shining brightly almost blinding me. I continued to wander through various parts of the beautiful forest. Hours passed and as much as I admired the scenery of the forest I found myself wanting to go back home before dark.

I took different routes each time I would come to a junction in the woods, and if I did not come to a junction then I would come to a dead end in the forest. To make matters worse I started to hear someone speak my name.

"Allie, Allie." It was a voice that I didn't recognise but it was a male's voice. At first it was like a soft melody as if someone would be comforting a small child by singing sweetly to them. Even so I continued to wander through the woods.

As I ventured further through the woods the voice continued to say my name but it was no longer that soft-melody tone. It had been replaced by a demanding tone of voice as if the person who had been speaking my name had been angered by my disobedience since I had not come to them.

 

The hairs on my arms began to flare up as I started to get goose bumps on them due to the fact that it was getting slightly cold probably because night time was on its way and it wouldn't be long for it to arrive.

I started to run and place my hands over my ears to try and tell myself that this was my imagination playing tricks on me but the voice continued to get louder and louder until I started to become scared of the sound of its malicious tone.

My feet began to feel sore due to the fact that I had been running through the forest and I became hungry and thirsty. Was there anywhere were I could sleep? I wondered as I sighed deeply only to see a dark mansion in the distance I forced myself to walk onwards through the forest.

 

I soon came to a bridge in the forest, it was flooded since it had been raining I guessed but it looked safe enough to cross. I walked forward despite the fact that it was flooded but when I reached the middle it creaked making me feel as if something was wrong as if to warn me not to go any further. I tried for a second time to walk on but it creaked even louder making me back away. I wanted to cross but something inside of me told me not to do so.

 

I walked back until I saw a man standing behind me.

 

"You cannot cross the bridge, do not cross the bridge do not even attempt to do so foolish girl." He said but I couldn't see his face only his figure due to the fact that his hood had been pulled up to hide his pale visage.

"Why must I not cross the bridge?" I asked.

 

"Only she who is of beauty and royal blood may cross this bridge, only she who loves her master and only she who is of kindness and unselfishness may cross this bridge." He says before everything in my vision falls into darkness.

 

 

I gasp as I open my eyes just a dream I tell myself it was only a dream I tell myself repeatedly as I realise that the bus has already come to a stop and it has stopped at the bus stop across from my house.

 

I thank the bus driver and get off the bus only to open the gate to my house and to close it after me. I walk down the driveway that is full of gravel. I walk towards the back of the house and open the back door that leads me into the kitchen. I walk through the hallway and make my way upstairs into my bedroom closing the door behind me and sit down on my bed wondering, just wondering why on earth did I have such a nightmare? Did it mean something? I shake my head of course not after all it was a dream and nothing more just a dream.

 

Chapter Two New Schedules

 

"Allie dinner is ready!" My mother shouted from downstairs. I responded quickly by shouting just as loudly.

"I'm coming!" I shouted before walking out of the room closing the door behind me. I made my way downstairs and entered the kitchen.

 

My mother stood at the black island in the center of the kitchen. She wore a light emerald green long-sleeved shirt, a pair of blue trousers and a pair of black shoes. Her dark brown hair almost black had been tied back in a tight-fitted bun. Her face was pale looking due to the fact that she had been doing a lot of nightshifts recently at the hospital.

 

"Allie do you want to get a drink for yourself?" She suggested.

 

I nodded before getting pit a clean glass from one of the cupboards in the kitchen placing it on the small island before opening the fridge and getting out the milk.

 

The kitchen wasn't very big to be honest, the walls were a light purple, and there were a few cupboards, a fridge, a dishwasher, a small black island and a small-rounded table.

 

"Allie do you want to sit down at the table?" My mother questioned me.

"Do you not need any help?" I asked her.

 

I took the time to notice that three plates had been set on the black island already. She was already putting some pasta on each plate while speaking to me.

 

"I'm sure, you go and sit down." She said.

 

I sat down on one of the chairs at the table before noticing my father entering the kitchen. He had taken off his black-leathered blazer and now only wore his white long-sleeved shirt, his black trousers and his black shoes.

 

He sat down on one of the chairs at the table beside me.

 

I didn't have to wait very long for my mother to set
