Jake. Who is he working for? How does he know I'm in STARS? Oh my gosh. Things have spiraled out of control. I was supposed to find out who he was working for, but I only managed to have him find out about me.
Quickly stuffing my sandwich into my mouth, I grabbed my bag and walked towards the field. Jake usually ate there.
Jake was sitting with his friends when I got there, happily laughing about something he said. He looked quite normal and possibly cool. But he is not cool. What am I even thinking?
I didn't want his friends to notice me or see my face, so I quickly scurried to his side and dragged him away.
"Uh.. What are you doing, Penny?"
"I need to talk to you!"
We arrived at a shady tree behind the cafeteria. Jake still looked confused, but I think he knew why I wanted to talk to him.
I cut to the chase.
"Who are you working for, and how do you know that I'm a STARS spy?" I practically shouted.
Jake's face quickly changed into something unrecognizable. He no longer seemed nice and fun, but more like the guy who attacked me on that party night. "Penny. Oh Penny. I guess Mr. P was right about giving you a test mission."
What? A test mission? Mr. P? "You're working for Mr. Poop? Is he a double agent against STARS? And what test mission?" Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh.
Jake laughed, and put his hand on my shoulder. "Penny. You're not a good spy. I think you may have realized this, as I caught you last night. Heck, remember when I caught you that first night?"
I couldn't breathe. I am a good spy. I am a good spy. Right? Penny, don't believe him. You are a good spy. You are the daughter of the best spies in the agency. You are a good spy.
Jake continued, "STARS has been watching you for the last few months. Ever since school started again, you have been slacking off. You only train once a week, for maybe 10 minutes, if at all. I train every day for at least 3 hours. Do the math. They decided to assign you a test mission, to see if you could still be a spy. Mr. P told you to find out who I was working for, right?"
Mr. Poop isn't a double agent? He was acting this whole time, tricking me and driving me on to solve this fake mystery? Wow, I guess Mr. P wasn't that bad at being a spy.
I could only nod in response to Jake.
"Yep. Since I am a third level spy, they decided to give me a mini assignment as well. I was to pretend to be on an opposing agency, perhaps the LKS or the MOON. If you realized that I was from STARS, you would be able to only drop down to the first level, and not go back to beginner's training....But if not, down to beginner's training you go."
Jake had started smirking at me. Who was this guy? So arrogant. And a third level spy as well? Oh my gosh. There are only 5 levels of being a spy. The first level is the lowest, while the fifth level is the highest. My parents were both on level five before they retired, and I am currently on level two. But that was all changing now. The agency was planning to move me down to level one or, if I failed this mission, to beginner's training? Only 10-year-olds and younger are on beginner's training! I wanted to express my anger at Jake, but words were still not forming in my mouth.
"I guess you have failed at this mission, haven't you, Penny Woods?"
Jake is the meanest butt ever. He even managed to trick me into being his friend. I wanted to cry, to be honest. I would have to go back to being a beginner spy! What even is this? I am in high school. I should be doing intense missions and removing the bad guys. URGH! Finally, words seemed to form in my mouth.
"No. No. No. What are you doing, Jake? Who even are you? I can't go back to being in beginner's training. Come on. Isn't there another way?"
Jake was about to respond, when suddenly, he backed away. He threw his backpack in the direction behind me. What? I quickly turned around to see a black shadow running away. What was happening?
Jake quickly grabbed my arm and started running after the black shadow.

Teen Fiction"What are you, and who are you working for?" He demanded, directing his fist at my face. I dodged it quickly, before throwing a blow and running away. Boy that was a close one. Maybe going on this mission wasn't such a good idea... Penny Woods, invi...
