Carmella
Hi, my name is Carmella Rossi.
I know what you're probably thinking, this is just gonna be another boring story about a lovesick girl.
Nope, I'm a spy for the CIA, and I'm only 17, making me the youngest person in the company. Now how did that happen?
My parents are famous spies, got every single mission done right and fast. I decided to follow in their footsteps.
My brother, Roman, also had the option to be a spy, but he wanted to join the army.
Speaking of which, the boss has a new mission for me. I'm driving over right now on my motorbike. Yes, we're rich too, but I really don't like to take it for granted. I tend to enjoy a lot of simple things in life.
I arrive at the company and head inside.
And almost immediately, I'm harassed by Weston. Weston is an agent who has this annoying crush on me, but I just don't have any romantic interest in him. And I've told him that, but he refuses to listen to me.
"Hey there hotness", he said putting his arm around me.
"How many times do I have to tell you, I'm not interested in you", I said.
"Oh come on, just one date".
"No".
"I'll make it worth your while".
"You know I can charge you for harassment against a minor".
I stepped into the elevator and he tried to follow me, but I tricked him into thinking someone needed him on the ground floor.
I made it to the top floor where my boss's office is. I knocked before entering.
"Hello Tom", I said.
"Well if it isn't my favorite girl, how are you Mella?", he asked with a bright smile.
His nickname for me is Mella. "I'm good, so what's this new mission?".
"I got an email from Orra high school. Apparently, the principal got word that one of his staff members is planning to shoot up the school. He wants one of my agents in there to ensure the safety of his students. And I thought why not send in the youngest and the best".
"Oh you're too kind. Joking aside though, I accept this mission to protect the students and other staff members of Orra High", I said.
"Excellent, and I thought you would like this mission especially because you won't have to wear a disguise for this", he said.
"Oh my god, you're the best", I said hugging him. He chuckled. I loved Tom, he's like a grandpa to me. He released me and pulled a file out of his desk.
"Here's all the info on the mission".
"Thanks".
I took the file and walked out. I sat down and started to read what was in there. A map of the school, school events, news, sports games. And then I found a paper about my identity.
It was everything about me. I would just go by my normal name, I enjoy sports, and I'm very outgoing.
Yep, that sounds like me.
I got up from my seat. Maybe there's a mall nearby to do some shopping for tomorrow.
Luckily I managed to sneak out without Weston spotting me.
I hopped on my bike and headed back to the house. I stepped into the house to see my mother and father talking in the dining room. I still live with my parents here in California and I love it, but I do wanna see more of the world.
They must've heard me come in because as soon as I shut the door, they turned their heads in my direction.
"Hi honey, how was the meeting?", my mom asked.
"It was good, I get to go undercover at a high school, it's about an hour away".
"Are you gonna rent an apartment?", my dad asked.
"Yeah, I have money so I'll be fine, and I'll call at least twice a week", I explained.
"Ok, it's fine with us. We're gonna stay here in case Tom needs us for a mission".
"I leave today, so I'm gonna head upstairs and start packing".
"Ok, we'll find a nice apartment for you to rent", my mom said.
I headed to the second floor to my room. My room was pretty big and it was painted a pale yellow color. I had a queen size bed, desk, vanity, a loveseat, and a full bathroom.
I went to my closet and started to pull out a bunch of different clothes and shoes and piled them into my suitcase. I had about 4 different bags to take with me. I had one for clothes and shoes, one for personal items, one for makeup, and one for all my spy gear. I called a car to take my bags and I had a small trailer hooked up to it so I could get my bike there.
"We set up an apartment, here's the address honey", my mom said handing me a piece of paper.
"Thank you guys, I'll call you when I arrive to let you know I made it there".
I hugged them one last time, and got in the car to leave.
I got my phone out and popped in my earbuds. I clicked on my favorite song, King by Lauren Aquilina.
I looked out the window the whole way there, and I even took a couple pictures with my camera. I'm very passionate about photography, too. I think capturing the beauty of the world is one of the best things you can do.
Time Skip
I finally arrived at the apartment address. It was cute, you had neighbors, but they weren't crammed together. I got my bags out of the trunk and my bike off the trailer. I paid the driver and I was left standing in the driveway of my temporary home. I started carrying in my bags, but I would always drop one along the way.
"Do you need some help?".
I looked over to see a girl standing there. She looked around my age, she had very long jet black hair, pale skin, and dark blue eyes.
"If you don't mind", I said standing up straight.
"Of course I don't, I'm always up to help", she said.
She seemed nice. We each took 2 bags and carried them to the door. I put in the door combo my parents gave me before I left. I opened the door and I instantly loved the look of the apartment. It had a very cozy feel to it. According to the papers, it has a living room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, a full bath and a half bath.
"Thank you so much", I said to the girl.
"No problem, I'm Musa by the way", she said holding her hand out.
"Carmella", I said shaking her hand.
"So what brings you here to our fine little neighborhood?", she asked me.
Quick, I had to think of something. "Oh, my parents and I are having issues, so I decided to go away for a little".
"Oh, well I'm sorry", she said.
"It's ok, hey, if you're not doing anything, do you think you could help me get unpacked?", I asked her.
"Yeah, totally".
Time Skip
It took us about 2 hours, but I finally got situated. We finished at around 6:30 and I was starving.
"Hey, do you know any good eats around here, I'm starving", I asked Musa.
"Yeah, there's a cute little cafe about 10 minutes away from here".
"Cool, let me grab my bag and we can hit the road", I said running to my room. I grabbed my mini handgun and shoved it in my boot, along with my badge, just in case.
I came back and we headed out the door. "Here, hop on my bike".
"Sweet ride".
I gave her a helmet and I started the bike up. It was a really nice ride to the cafe, but I felt like it was too short.
It was an adorable little coffee shop with an old fashioned look to it.
We headed in and placed our order. We each got a mint melody, which is a mint mocha, and a trio of cherry macaroons. We sat down at a table in the corner of the room.
"So, what school do you go to?", I asked her.
"I'm a junior at Orra high school", she said.
"Me too, that's the school I transferred to".
"No way".
"We should go shopping after this".
"Totally".
I turned my head a little bit to see a boy staring at me. He had dirty blonde hair, it was short and spiked up in a soft and natural way. He had gorgeous green eyes, peach colored skin, and he was in great shape. We stared at each other for a good 5 seconds until he turned back to his phone.
"Who's the hottie over there?", I asked Musa.
She turned her head to see who I was talking about.
"Oh, that's Corbyn Shay, a very popular guy at our school. He's a very nice guy though, so don't worry".
"He's really cute". I know I'm on a mission, but that doesn't mean I can't have some fun.
"I think he would like you".
"What makes you say that?", I asked her.
"You're nice and hot, what's not to like?", she said jokingly. I laughed.
I look over at him again. He got up from his seat and started walking over towards us.
"Oh my god, he's coming over", I said slightly panicked.
"Just be yourself", Musa said. I nodded. In 3 seconds he was looming over me, those green eyes are so much prettier up close.
"Hey, I don't think I've ever seen you around here before", he said. His voice, it was husky, yet soothing.
"That's because I just moved here", I said.
"The name's Corbyn, what's yours?".
"Carmella".
"Beautiful name".
I blushed.
"Hey, can I have your number in case you wanna hang out sometime?", he asked.
"Uh, yeah, totally", I said taking his phone and putting my number in it.
Why am I so nervous?
"Until we meet again", he said. He took my hand and kissed it softly.
I smiled at him. I could feel myself blushing. He left and Musa started to squeal.
"Oh my god, I have never in all my years seen him act like that towards a girl", she said smiling.
"Really?", I asked shocked.
"Yeah. I guess you made a good impression on him", she said sipping her coffee.
I can't get emotional. My last relationship was the reason for me becoming a spy. I was in a relationship with this one guy, Brandon.
The whole time I thought we were in love with each other, he was in love with this other girl. Oh yeah, and that girl was my ex-best friend, Trina.
I saw them kissing at our spot, and I was completely destroyed.
That's why I joined the CIA. It happened when I was 14, but I thought that someone actually loved me.
"So, there's a huge mall just 5 minutes away, they always have the best clothes", Musa explained.
"Ok, sounds good to me".
We finished our food and headed to the mall. It looked more like an arena instead of a mall. It looked even bigger on the inside, and the clothes looked so cool.
Time Skip - 2 Hours Later
We each had two bags of new clothes when we left.
"You were right about them having really cool clothes", I said to Musa.
We rode home and I said goodbye to Musa. We made plans to ride to school together tomorrow.
I got inside my apartment and walked into my room. I brushed my hair and teeth, changed into some pajamas, and got in bed.
I was scrolling through the pictures on my phone, and I found one that was very dear to me. It was me and Roman when we took a vacation to Hawaii. I was sitting on his shoulders, and we were both flexing our muscles, smiling like a couple of weirdos. Then I noticed his arm. Roman has a sleeve of tattoos on his right arm, but the one I was looking at said Mini Mella in cursive. He got that one for me. I wish he would come home soon, I haven't seen him for over a year. It was hard enough to spend one Christmas without him, I can't go through another.
I put my phone on my nightstand and drifted off to sleep.

Corbyn
Seriously, does Summer still think I like her? I can't believe this girl.
I was sitting at a table in the coffee shop checking Snapchat, when Musa came in, but she was with this other girl. Actually, not a girl. A freaking goddess. She had long dirty blonde hair, tan skin, light blue eyes, perfect body. She was the definition of perfect.
They took a table in the corner of the room. They started talking for a little and she started looking around, until her eyes landed on me.
We just stared at each other, like the rest of the world was blocked out. I finally snapped back to my phone nervously. I gathered all my courage, stood up, and walked over to her table.
I stood over her, as she looked up at me with her ocean blue eyes.
"Hey, I don't think I've ever seen you around here before", I said.
"That's because I just moved here", she replied. She even sounds like an angel.
"The name's Corbyn, what's yours?".
"Carmella".
"Beautiful name".
I saw her blush a little. Wait, SHE is nervous around ME?
"Hey, can I have your number in case you wanna hang out sometime?". Why did I just ask that? I literally just met her.
"Uh, yeah, totally", she said sounding nervous.
She took my phone and put her number in.
"Until we meet again". I took her hand and kissed it softly.
She smiled and then proceeded to blush. She looks really cute when she does that. I walked out of the shop and drove home. I wonder if she goes to my school? Nah, she probably goes to a nice private school or something.
I got home and found my sister, Brie, playing video games on the tv, my mom doing dishes, and my dad was reading a car magazine.
"Corbyn, it's about time you got home, you've been gone for three hours", my mom said.
"Sorry mom, I had an unexpected encounter", I said.
"It was a girl", Brie said.
"How'd you know?", I asked.
"Because A: you're my brother, B: unexpected encounter, come on, it's as obvious as sunburn on a zebra", she listed.
I laughed. She knows me way too well. Brie is only 14, but she is surprisingly aware of her surroundings and the things that people say.
"So, what's her name?", Brie asked.
"Carmella".
"Oh my gosh, I love that name, it's so pretty".
"Yeah, it really is", I said gazing off.
"Aww, does my big bro have a crushie?", Brie said in a baby voice.
"Maybe", I said back.
Her jaw dropped. "Like an actual crush?".
"What's so surprising about that?", my dad asked.
"Corbyn hasn't had a crush on a girl like....ever", Brie explained.
"Really? I thought you had a crush on Summer", my dad said to me.
"No, I don't like Summer. She's really mean and rude to a lot of people", I said.
"So when you guys start dating, bring her over so I can meet her", Brie said.
"Dude, we aren't anywhere near that stage, I don't even know her last name".
"It will happen", Brie said pointing at me.
I laughed.
"Ok you two, head up to bed, you have school tomorrow", my mom said.
We headed upstairs and I went into my room. I brushed my teeth and changed.
I really hoped I would see Carmella again real soon.

So I used the WWE wrestler, Roman Reigns, in my story. The reason I did this is because Roman is a true fighter, he has been diagnosed with leukemia cancer twice and he's still wrestling to this day. His most recent stage of cancer was last year in the fall and he was back in the ring by February. Stay strong Big Dog.
