The Spy

Chapter 1

Alex's POV

        I sprang up on my bed breathing heavily. I was sweating. I looked around my room to see my best friend Benny sitting on my bed looking at me with worry. 

     "Alex was it another nightmare." I nodded slowly. He sighed and looked at me with disappointment.

     "Alex you said that they stopped. You were doing so good." I looked down. Honestly I get them almost everyday. The accident has replayed in my mind for the last 10 years of my life. That night haunts me.

    "I'm sorry Benny." He sighed and pulled me into a hug. I had my reasons not to tell him. He just wouldn't understand what it's like. 

     "It's okay Alex. It's not surprising with what happened with your parents." I tensed at the thought of them. The thought of my parents always made me tense. 

     I looked over at the clock to see it is almost 6. I am supposed to get up at 6 so I guess good timing.

    "We start our new mission today don't we?" Benny nodded. 

    "Get dressed. We have to leave in a little bit." Benny said. I nodded. Benny kissed my forehead then left my room. Benny and I have always been close. Kenna our other room-mate started the organization when she was 10, where as Benny and I started when we were 6. People always thought I liked Benny but I could never see him like that. 

     I got out of my bed and trudge towards my bathroom. Yawning I looked into the mirror. Looking at my reflection made me cringe. I had a tear stained face,  plus my eyes and nose were red. My eyes we also very puffy from crying. I took my hair out of the messy bun that it is always in. My hair isn't straight, but it isn't curly either. It has a slight wave to it. My brown wavy hair reached to about the small of my back. I turned on the water and closed the shower to wait for it to warm up. I stripped out of my clothes and stretched. I opened the door back up and watched the steam come out. The hot water from the shower instantly relaxing my tense muscles. I sighed.

     I got out of my shower and looked at myself in the mirror again. I still looked very tense. Dark circles still were under my eyes. I walked out of my bathroom in a towel and walked into my closet. I picked out my normal outfit that I love. Black jeans, black crop top, black high top converse, and a black leather jacket.

     I wasn't skinny but I wasn't heavy either. Like I can pull off a bikini but I am not model skinny. I am also very short. Benny towers over me. People think that since I am short I wont do much. They are very wrong. 

     I got changed and walked out of my closet. I walked over to my vanity and started my makeup. I don't like wearing a lot of makeup but I don't like going out with out a little bit on.

     I did my light makeup then stood up. I didn't really do anything with my hair. I just threw it up into a high ponytail. I grabbed my phone then walked out of my room and ran down the stairs to my kitchen. When I got to the kitchen I saw Kenna and Benny sitting at the counter talking.

     "Hey guys." I said walking over to the fridge and pulling out a yogurt. I turned around to see Kenna and Benny looking at me with sad eyes. 

   "Alex I told her about the nightmare." My heart stopped. 

    "Y-You what." I stumbled on my words. When I am nervous I stutter. One time in second grade I had to do a presentation, my speech was so bad no one could understand me. 

      "I told Kenna about the nightmare you had. You were screaming for your mom and dad. She wanted to know what it was about because she knew I came and saw you." I looked down.
