Felicity (17 years old)

She sat on the rooftop of the academic building, her feet dangling dangerously over the edge. Swaying her feet left to right she turned the pages of her favourite book;Pride and Prejudice.It was her go to comfort literature. Her guilty pleasure. She just could relate to Elizabeth Bennet, wanting to be as independent and steadfast as her. Not to mention she had the biggest crush on Mr.Darcy; his broodiness is something she found extremely hot. She would arguably deny liking him in public if anyone asked, referring to his "caveman" like behaviour with Liz Bennet, but secretly deep down she hated and loved the fact that someone could be so protective. If only there were guys like that around here she thought. Finishing the last sentence in the book, she sighed and held the book close to her chest. Silently, she dwelled on the feeling rising in her chest, that warm sensation that follows completing a wonderful book.

Her phone rang, jolting her out of her daze. Shaking her head, she opened her flip phone to see an unknown number. She had just bought a Motorola RAZR, something that she had been gushing about for months now and only gave her number to a few people." It better not be those pesky telemarketers promoting a Ponzi scheme," she told herself. Inhaling deeply, she answered.

"Hi, Fliss? Is that you? It's Cait...Caitlin Snow?" a soft female voice spoke.

"Cait! Omg! How are you? Are you in Central City? How's Cisco? Wait how did you get my number?" she rambled away.

"Flis..slow down! Glad to hear somethings never change!I'm in Harvard actually...I met Tommy recently...and he gave me your number," Caitlin said, whispering the last sentence.

"Tommy huh?" Felicity smirked."Well Harvard isn't that far from here, let's meet up? This Saturday, at the coffee shop between Brookline and Pearl? They serve the best blueberry muffins and I've been seriously craving!".

"You had me at blueberry muffins! See you Saturday!" Caitlin quipped.

Felicity let out a shriek and shook in excitement. Things were looking up afterall.

Saturday came by in a flash. Felicity wore her favourite skinny jeans, black tank top and matching black combat boots. She made her way to the coffee shop and found favourite spot unoccupied. It was the best seat in the place. A little dark booth sheltered from the outside eye but gave her a view of the whole cafe.

She was early, they had decided to meet for lunch, but she liked to arrive early. Being late was her pet peeve. She enjoyed waiting accompanied by her thoughts and her black coffee. She was engrossed in writing some new coding ideas in her notepad...and hadn't noticed Caitlin walking into the shop.

"Boo!" Caitlin said into Felicity's ears making the latter jump out of her skin. She threw her arm up, notepad that she was writing on flew up the air.

" For the love of the Doctor! Don't scare me like...THUDD!" Felicity couldn't finish her sentence when the notepad that flew up finally succumb to gravity and hit her on the head.

Both the girls looked at each other, Caitlin feeling extremely guitly.Suddenly, both of them burst out into a laughing fit. Rubbing the top of her head, Felicity stood to give her best girl friend an overdue hug.

"Flissy! It's been too long! I'm so sorry about your head..want me to have a look at it? " Caitlin said as she squeezed Felicity a little tighter. She had missed her best friend, distance between them made it hard for the two of them to meet over the years.

"Ouch...It's okay Doc .Another day in the life of Felicity Smoak.I swear my life movie should be called Smoak: Series of Unfortunate Events," Felicity chuckled.

Biting into their blueberry muffins, the girls made themselves comfortable. Felicity removed her shoes and tucked her legs into the couch, whereas Caitlin leaned back.

Wiping away the froth on her upper lip with a napkin, Caitlin leaned forward clasping her hands together."So...Flis...I hope you didn't mind that I got your number from Tommy" she said sheepishly looking down at her coffee cup.

"Hey no worries Cait, I was going to pass you the number, things have been busy I totally forgot." Felicity smiled. "So...Tommy uh...what's going on there? " she smirked. Caitlin almost sprayed her latte, managing to control her surprise, she looked at her like a deer caught in headlights.

Felicity looked at her tawny haired best friend intently. She was struggling to control her laughter that was brewing underneath her serious demeanour.

Caitlin who was always composed and sedate had trouble maintaining her facade when Felicity threw her off guard. She had been trying to approach the "Tommy" topic for some time now, afraid of what her reaction would be .

Putting her latte down, Caitlin let out a long sigh before embarking on a long ramble, one that might even beat Felicity's personal best." Omg Flis, I'm so sorry I didn't tell you about Tommy and I.Wait there's no Tommy and I. There's Tommy and there's me...two individual people doing two individual things at the same time...individually".

Felicity burst out laughing after the ramble she heard from Caitlin. "Now I know how ya'll feel when I'm on my ramble session...Cait...i didn't get one word you said. Please relax." Felicity reached out to touch Caitlin's arm.

"I went to a club near Harvard one night and we ran into each other, it was good catching up with him..well one thing led to another...we started having lunch ..once in a while. It's nothing serious really" Caitlin said as her cheeks turned crimson red.She turned to look at her best friend trying to gauge her reaction.

Felicity was very perceptive. She knew that Tommy was seeing someone, but she never expected it to be her other best friend.

"Cait..i love you and I love Tommy. I'm happy if you guys are happy" she smiled. "But...if you break him Cait, I'm going have to find you and make you pay. You do understand that right? And vice versa ...if Tommy ever does anything... I'm going to freeze his bank accounts." she continued smiling. She was happy her two best friends found each other.

They spent the remaining hour enjoying each other's company, chatting away making up for lost time. Caitlin had mentioned that she was looking for a roommate's was looking for apartments and wondered if Felicity knew anybody who would want to rent with her.

"Cait...would it be okie with you if I became your roommate?" Felicity mousely asked her friend. She was miserable at the hostel in MIT. Let's be honest she could count the number of friends she had made in MIT with one hand. She much rather spend time with Cait. With her heart in her hand, she looked at her best friend.

Caitlin pondered upon the suggestion, biting her lower lip, she looked at her best friend.Felicity knew that moving in with your friend often caused rifts even in the strongest friendships, but she somehow felt the two of them ... it would work.

"Think about it Cait...you and me one house..would be a sleepover like EVERYDAY! We could do Dr.Who marathons, you could bake cookies and i'd be your taste tester.Besides, I wouldn't mind if you had your boyfriend over as I love him as well!" she tried to convince her friends.Honestly the last line was just to throw Cait of balance and mess with her, Felicity told herself chuckling.

Caitlin blushed at the thought of Tommy and her being in a relationship.Labels weren't her thing, she mused.She loved the idea of living with Felicity.Growing up a single child she often wished for another sister.Felicity fit the role perfectly since the day the two of them met at camp.There was no denying it, this was a great idea.

"Well roomate.Let's go househunting!" she finally said...reaching over to hug her friend.
