Marked and Charmed by Morgan Cook (uplifting book club books TXT) 📖

delicious.
A boy or man if he didn’t like the term being called a boy walked towards me he wore a smile no teeth showing and the fire reflected of his eyes like a mirror, I couldn’t see his eye colour but I found myself drawn to him, maybe it was me being stupid but he had a kind of vibe about him, i tired making sure that i blocked seeing the aura's i could if i wanted to but, it felt like cheating sometimes i couldn't help it. The last boy i loved got him self killed,Recap.
I was 14 when I had my first so-I-think-he’s-the-one relationship, yes at fourteen I was thinking this, I think it was just the feeling of being alone I didn’t like, after us going out for a year, he died saving a 2 year old in a fire. I guess after that I thought that anyone else that I loved would die. What was I saying I didn’t know this guy, he could be a total jack-arse for all I knew, but who was I to judge I was always the girl in the corner, the weird one who always got told to stick with one personality, I got called Emo to Goth then just to normal, I was me and I was different everyday, I mean don’t get me wrong colour pink I don’t like even though I does look good on me, so I’m told. But I love Linkin Park to Adele to Rob Zombie to 80s music like Crowded House, I wore dresses even if I didn’t like them that much, I guess it made me feel more like a girl, I was usually in my tight jeans, easy to run in though and black tank top with a baggy jumper and black combat boots, I couldn’t get much weirder than that but you know some people are weirder than that and I respect them, if they respect me.
“My names Jonathan, you must be Hugh’s little sister” He was smiling, but when he said Hugh’s little sister something rang a bell in my head, he just address me as Hugh’s little sister then it hit me, he must be Hugh’s friend, I mean no other person would do that to some one unless they wanted them to know how they stood, they were probably like brothers, addressing me as if I was both there little sister, but then again he could be saying that because I don’t look like Hugh, or Hugh was just scary and Jonathan wanted to show Hugh that he only looks at me that way. Which was probably true now I could see what Jonathan looked like, tall, muscle that you knew were there but he wasn’t cocky and didn’t flex them all the time he meet a girl, wait I was his friends little sister he wouldn’t do that to me or didn’t want me to feel uncomfortable around him. I was guessing the first because he didn’t look uncomfortable standing next to my brother, his fake smile and talking to some one called Bavol. Okay, Bavol, trendy name, unique.
“Felicity” I said before Jonathan walked away. “My name’s Felicity, just call me that” I smiled a nice smile not a flirty one, no way he wasn’t my type, oh god now I had a type who was I kidding I hadn’t had a boyfriend since well you know and besides it didn’t matter, he was my brothers friend and of all the friends my brother has brought back to the house he looked more, dark. I mean not evil just he looked more like I-push-the-boundaries type of guy, but who was I to judge my brother looked stiff and uncomfortable and he was one of the most laid back people I knew. Jonathan did a crocked smile and turned to sit a bit further away then the rest, but he looked relaxed there like it was his spot. Then I realised that was starring at him or glaring, he look at me and caught me in the act, I didn’t do it intentionally he was just so, different I guess.
Just as I was about to walk over Jonathan not wanting to follow my brother looking like a lost puppy somebody tapped my shoulder, very lightly but enough to say ‘Hey, turn around’ as I turned around I caught some more stares at the fire then there stood a girl in front of me.
“Don’t mind the other staring they are just curious but I’m the only nice one who will get off my arse to comfort you and just to say hi” she was about 5,7 had golden hair that was swept up with her fringe out that just let you see her Jade green eyes, she wasn’t skinny but she wasn’t big boned, and had light red lip gloss that glimmered when the fire hit it.
“Hi, names Felicity” I smiled, she seemed nice, worn jeans that wee torn near the knees and middle thigh, worn a blood red top with a leather jacket and a black pendant that I also had sitting on my bedside table at home, but she had a different chain to mine, hers was gold mine was silver.
“Felicity, nice name, can I just call you Flick? Only if you want to that is.” Only my real close friends called me Flick or Family which was Nan, Pop and Hugh. But I liked her she seemed, like one to keep I heard my voice inside my head that would be something Nan would say, she’s one to keep.
“Ok then and your name?” She knew more than I knew her; I wanted to find out more first.
“Visola, yeah I know wired right, my twin is Isuara, my parents are kind of like hippy or something but there weird anyway, sorry talking again, why don’t you come sit down and you talk more.”
I followed her around to where sat a short log with a guy, he sat there with a confidence to him, happiness I think, it kind of radiated of him just like Nan, I hadn’t really had time to think about seeing what people were truly like on the inside but I wanted to know them more, after all I was going to be stuck with them for most of my life. I followed Visola over to the were she was sitting, I managed to sit at the edge of the fallen tree, who I image has to be Visola’s Boyfriend that sits next to her, he has a reddish-blonde hair, I don’t know if it’s the fire that hits his hair when he moves his head to make it look red and a bit curly, when he looks over Visola’s shoulder I see his eye’s are quite black, I tell Visola how I found out about magic, in return she tells me that she is only a year older then me and knows how I feel about coming here and the surprise that she felt when she found out that she wasn’t the only witch in our town. The guy who I though was her boyfriend I know is her boyfriend now, when he goes to leave and talk to Bavol he kisses her forehead and smiles before he walks away, its cute, I’m not denying it, she tells me that he is her boyfriend also her age they have been together for 2 years and that his name is Terran, she tells me to get use to hearing weird names and says it normal. Well I can’t talk my name isn’t that popular I know but there’s one I haven’t even heard of before until now.
I swear an hour has past, but as I look at my phone only 25 minutes has gone by, I look around, bored, where is Hugh? As my eyes search for Hugh I find him with Jonathan, and Ela, I stood up and walked over to them, they were laughing and to be honest Ela and Hugh looked like a great couple with Ela’s burgundy wavy hair and Hugh’s Brown messy hair that looked like five girls ran there fingers in his hair but really he just looks naturally like that. Lucky for him! As I stopped right near them the laugher died and eye’s looked at me as if I interrupted something. I felt like running away as silly as that seemed, Ela jumped up and came walking around the tree that they were using as a seat, and smiled at me,
“I’m going to see Terran, gotta see the Cuz sometime today or he’ll tell Aunt Jill and then mum will be at my throat for ignoring him, see you later” She walked back over near the fire to where Bavol and Terran were talking.
I sat down in Ela’s spot that she left which was just behind Hugh and Jonathan in the middle, Hugh started a conversation before it got silent and awkward.
“So how is your first day going?” He smiled and me, I retuned his smile and replied.
“It’s great I already have a friend, Visola, she is, very nice, and sweet not to mention Ela who looks to pretty to be true and really nice, like a sister” I thought I should drop a hint and with that I did, Jonathan laughed and added to the conversation.
“Yeah, Ela is really nice, and really quite beautiful, she has been nice to everyone, and Hugh and I are great friends with her but Hugh and her I think are closer friends then her and me” so Jonathan knew what I was doing and was helping, so he must have thought about this more than once without me here. I laughed a little and looked at Hugh, Jonathan stated laughing, Hugh then got it and did a fake laugh and said,
“Yeah, yeah, I’m going to talk to Bavol” he turned and I quickly replied
“Oh yeah hey Hugh tell Ela I said thanks, shes over with Bavol”
He gave me a dark and annoying look, I sat back and laughed, Jonathan joined me, then I could only hear my voice, I stopped laughing and looked up to were Jonathan was sitting he was looking at me with a smile on his face.
“Oh sorry, i got a bit carried away” I said still trying to control my laughter, trying to keep it in.
“Thank god it’s not just me, I would never force Hugh into anything but geez it is oveise that those two are close, I’m glad it’s not me just dropping hints” His smile was still there and I returned it, but this time I felt a funny feeling in the bottom of my stomach, was I flirting oh geez I think I am, now I am flirting with my brothers best friend, I would personally kill Hugh if he hit on Rachael!
