CHAPTER ONE

Unleashing Felicity Harper

Felicity

It was quiet

I glanced away from the book in my hand to the cat-shaped clock, which sat on my bedside table next to a potted cactus and lava lamp: 8:53 pm

Sitting up, I listened, but I didn’t hear any giggling,A person with normal roommates wouldn’t think much of this; however, I could think of a thousands words to describe Mark and Cleo, and normal would not be on that list It was never quiet here unless they were up to so

“Guys!” I called, ju to the door As I pulled it open, Cleo placed Mark’s laptop behind her back

Shit I knew it

It was May My birthday had already passed, so they couldn’t be planning a party And I hadn’t gotten a new job or anything

“Hey, Felicity, what’s up?” Cleo Owen lifted her dark, dyed red hair—thisto face me She had an oval-shaped face covered with little freckles

“Why is it so quiet?” I asked, crossing my arms

Mark, Cleo’s cousin, stood up and went to the kitchen “I’ll never fucking understand you women Didn’t you say you wanted to rest?”

“Nice try” I eyed him He stood about an inch taller than uy around here he was considered short He hadthe California surfer look It worked, seeing as how this was Los Angeles

“Nothing is going on, Felicity I swear, you’re so paranoid sometimes” Cleo shook her head at me as I followed her

I was screwed Da, it was already done

“I never said anything was going on, but thanks for confir my suspicions Spit it out What did you do?”

Mark glanced at Cleo before reaching into a white kitchen cabinet to grab the arita mix

“Guys! Is it that bad?”

“Oh, calrinned as he grabbed the ice She sether”

“Do what?”
