Which Side Are You On?

Secrets, spies, and adventure. Welcome to Leila's story.

As a young spy, Leila is on a classified mission which includes dodging bullets and running for your life. When she meets another young spy, Conner, from the enemy's side, she convinces him that she's on his side. He appears to trust her and let his guard down, but little does Leila know that he can read her mind. Conner knows her plan to trick him all along, and for some reason, they find trust in each other. In the end, Leila and Conner discover a world that only belongs to them, and a life that they were meant to live together.

Rated PG-13 for some violence!!

This was a creative writing assignment that I wrote Freshman year of high school and then rewrote my Junior year.

This a short story, only one chapter long, but I spent a lot of time writing it!

Inspiration is from the song "Mombasa", composed by Hans Zimmer. The song is on the Inception soundtrack.

I did not know anything about The Hunger Games when I wrote this! When my teacher graded it, she told me it had a "Hunger Games quality to it", so I went and read the books.

*This is not a Hunger Games fanfiction!!*

Yes, the cover is Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games! I really liked how this picture portrayed the story, even though it has nothing to do with The Hunger Games!!

Enjoy!
