Over the moon

Chapter 1

It was another day. Another boring day. I'm working as a spy. Because of my parents. It's my second day of being a spy after years of learning and trying. I'm excited! What if I finally make my parents proud? They never loved me. I don't think they ever will. But all I wanna do is make them proud. So proud. That they finally won't be disappointed every single time they see me. You see I wasn't planned. I am a failed abortion. I was never loved by my parents. They think I'm a disappointment. I'd like to believe I am. Because if I believed I'm not, my parents would change that.. and that would hurt. I'm already hurt. However I still try and maybe believe.. Maybe. That one day I won't be a disappointment for them and me! But that may be only my dreams. And stay as one of them. That's why I said "maybe believe". Because..because I doubt myself so much. Just like my parents. I'm already 21 and I still live with them. I never went to school. My parents were hiding and they were scared of someone finding out that they are secret spies. They couldn't trust me and honestly they still can't and they show it. It's not like I trust them too either.

It's already the end of my work day today. Also the end of the day. I have one mission and the mission is difficult. I'm leaving it for tomorrow.
I know I should not be but I am too lazy to do it now. So I really leave it for tomorrow. But what if my parents are disappointed in me again? I should really do it and work hard on it..But I did a lot today. I won't. This is the decision I make. Im going home.
When I get home I see my parents doing some work in their office. I can't wait to tell them what I did today. I hope I'm going to be able to make them proud. So proud. Like I always wanted but wasn't able to. Until now.
I reach the door and before I even got the chance to say a word my parents "welcome" me with "Esther we need to show you someone." I wonder who it is and are they here or? Have I already met them? "Okay." I say. They show me a picture of a man.Shirtless. Very attractive. Curly hair. Deep black eyes. Looks tired.He has a scar on his cheek. It makes him look more attractive. Is he gonna be my partner? Oh my goodness!!! YESS YES! I have an attractive partner! Gosh.. I'm already in love with him.. "Who's this?" I ask. Even though I already know the answer. I know he's my partner. Or so I thought. "Your enemy. We need to stop him and his family. And I'm so disappointed of having an useless daughter like you in a moment like that." MY ENEMY? Ouch. Her words hurts. But what hurts more is that HE IS MY ENEMY. Not my partner, not my friend, not my boyfriend BUT MY ENEMY? Enemy. And I'm in love with my enemy. I hope I start hating him. "Your mission tomorrow is to sneak into his house and find where his mom's secret office is. That's where she keeps all the jewellery we need. You get the easiest mission." HOW COULD THIS BE EVEN A BIT EASY? I don't wanna do it. But I don't want to disappoint my parents either. So. "Okay." I agreed. I don't now. But if I say I don't my mom would call me a disappointment and a failure. So tomorrow I'm going to have to break into my crush's house and get his mom's jewellery. Perfect isn't it?.

Damn it's time for the mission. I don't know how my parents expect me to magically go to his house and find his mom's secret office and get the jewellery. I swear those people are insane. My parents gave me his address I'm traveling to his house right not. And Gosh that man is rich. How am I gonna sneak in? I'm not a thief. I just won't sneak in. I'm going to ask my best friend Jacob for help. He's a spy too. He was one of my parent's students. They were teaching kids how to be spies . Secretly of course. Only their friends and family came to this "school". Only people that knew about their secret job. Anyway I'm calling him right now and like always he answers the phone the second I started calling. "Hey, Juliet. Is something wrong? How's your job going?"
"Yes there is something really wrong. I have a big problem. A hard misson. And I need your help."
"How can I help?"
"I need to sneak into 'my enemy's' house. The 'enemy' I have a crush on."
"You what?!"
"I have a crush on him."
"Gosh, Juliet. How can I help?"
"No idea.But I desperately need help." Can I sound more pathetic than that? Begging my best friend to "rob" the enemy I have a crush on. To be more clear his mother. But am I a thief or a spy? I have no idea why my parents need that stupid jewelry. Why didn't I ask them? Why didn't I? Because I would sound like a failure. Maybe they're right. Sure they are. If I don't do this I'm going to disappoint them more than I already have.
