Ellie's Spell (A Paranormal Romance) (Star Crossed Loves Book 5)

Life isn’t easy for a witch. First, you have to kind of keep quiet about things, and what’s the use of having a lot of power you can’t tell your friends about? As if that’s not bad enough, Ellie keeps waking up—way up! Like four feet above the bed up! That’s just a little much for her. Okay, she’s a light sleeper, but does it have to be ridiculous? At school, though, when one of her friends sees a book on becoming a witch, she can’t resist the temptation to cast a real spell. Of course, her friends all think it’s just a cool trick, but if it works, Anthony might just get up the courage to tell her how he feels…

Here is a preview:

Sitting at the circular table, I pulled out my book and textbooks, groaning inwardly. On the plus side, I recognised most of the girls that were here—yes, they were all girls. Apparently the boys were too busy caring about football. Miss Costello was not going to be happy- she kept people behind from not only history, but from media studies as well.
I said “Hello,” and we all opened our textbooks. We managed to work for oh...five minutes or so before the talking began. It was normal stuff, boyfriends, hair, plans for the weekend but the chatter began to turn to the book that Laura Smith had found while wondering around the library. It was called ‘How to become a witch’. I actually choked on my laughter, it was so funny. You couldn’t become a witch. That was like saying you could become French or Italian. You could behave like them, and you could even believe yourself to be one. You could try, and yes, some people harnessed the potential for a few spells but becoming a witch? No, no, no.
Unfortunately, everyone turned to me to see what I thought was so funny. I shrugged and gestured at the book, “It’s a load of crap,” I rolled my eyes, “I mean, what’s it gonna tell you? Probably just some crap on deep thinking or concentration; meditation, even.” I rolled my eyes again.
“It’s seems pretty cool, El. Don’t you wanna learn how to do spells and stuff?” Sarah asked and I shrugged.
“I bet I could do better spells than someone who ‘learns’ from that book.”
