Chapter 54: Felicity Matters

Caroline hurried away from the crowd, just the thought of seeing her friends together was enough to calm her even if only a little. But it was short-lived as Felicity fell into step beside her. Caroline groaned inwardly. It was hard to believe that Felicity was her oldest friend—here she was like an entirely different person, and Caroline had to remind herself that the Felicity she had known for all those years wasn’t real.

“What do you want, Felicity?”

“Oh, not much. I’ve been meaning to catch up with you, but life is just so much busier here at the academy, isn’t it?” Felicity replied with a slight smugness in her voice that Caroline found annoying. The last thing she felt like doing was playing a role in one of Felicity’s games. She could feel her powers start to spark within her again, and she quickened her pace. 

“I couldn’t help but notice you’ve become quite friendly with Aldrick…”

Caroline scowled but kept walking.
