Theresa took a deep breath, closing her backpack for the last time that morning. Inside, she had placed her pink sparkly folder that was covered with hearts and said "My Dreams". She had figured that such a folder was the perfect place to put her mission files- after all, didn't all girls this age that went to high school have at least one of those? Wasn't it some sacred tradition or another to never look into someone else's folder?

She was completely safe, she figured.

Taking a deep breath, she pulled her ponytail tight, and glanced out the window. Her pink folder was only one of the many things she had prepared to make sure that she would fit in. She couldn't have anybody finding out that she was on a secret mission, of course. In her pocket, she could feel her phone pressing against her- it had a pink sparkly case. She reached down to check it like any other teenager would, her many bracelets jingling softly. She also wore a smart watch on her wrist- and although it may be perfectly normal for a teenage girl to wear around a watch, hers was nowhere close to normal. It was programmed to the brim with defense mechanisms- it was a spy watch. She had come up with the idea herself.

She wasn't sweating- it was her first mission like this, but she wasn't nervous. She couldn't be nervous. She reached up to wipe moisture from the air from her face, stopping herself just before she smeared her foundation everywhere. Sighing, she squeezed her eyes shut.

"Bye, Daddy!" She called as she swung the door of the limo open, ready to face this new, foreign world called high school.
