Hey guys! I've been trying to figure a few things out with my other story 'I hate you more', but it's taking a while. So, I decided to publish another fanfiction, while I'm sorting everything out.
I hope that you'll enjoy 'Keep your enemies closer' as much as 'I hate you more'.
Thank you for your continued support.
"You said that you no longer required my assistance." Kim cried to the short man through video call on her phone, who sat in a tall black chair, pushing his fingers against each other.
"I know, I know. I get that you're upset, but you must remain professional here." The man replied, looking regretful.
"Remain professional? I thought that when I moved, I resigned...forever! Not just twelve hours, Rudy!" Kim yelled. It was hard for her to keep her cool after being told this news.
"I know, I know. It's almost as if they knew that you were moving to Seaford..." Rudy drifted off, but immediately stopped after realizing the fear in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Crawford. You'll be fine."
"I hate them. I'm so sorry, Rudy. I can't do this." The blonde fearfully muttered. "I just want to be a normal girl again."
Rudy was speechless. He was the leader of the Government's teen spy agency, so he had to be strong. Kim was like a little sister to him, and seeing her hurt, broke his heart.
But there was nothing he could do about it.
"Isn't there another agent that could do this instead of me?" She begged, the hope in her eyes glistened.
"I'm sorry, but your parents made us promise to protect you until they came back, and since the R.A.S.H are clearly after you, we cannot let you go yet." Rudy straightened himself out.
"Okay, so you're protecting me by putting me in danger? That makes so much sense." Kim exclaimed, trying to hold in her tears.
She never agreed to this. This was never her choice. This was her parents' decision.
"Kimmy, honey? Who are you talking to? Are you alright?" Her grandma's soft voice from outside her new bedroom door, alarmed her.
"There's no other way. You're in grave danger, Crawford. There's nothing more to discuss. Good luck." Rudy quickly added, before disconnecting.
"Rud-" Kim sighed. She had no choice. Her parents had left for a mission in England yesterday, leaving her to live with her grandparents in the city of Seaford, California. This meant a new school, new friends, and a new life. She was still upset with her parents for just shipping her across the country like a parcel, expecting her grandparents to take her in like a pair of old socks.
The bedroom door creaked open. "How are you doing?" Her grandma, Rose sat down on her bed with her and squeezed her tightly.
"I'm fine." Kim muffled, before she started sobbing uncontrollably into her grandma's yellow cardigan. Kim felt so stupid. She never cried, but this was too much for her.
"I'm sorry, sweetie. Your parents will be back from their business trip before you'll know it." Her grandma rubbed her shoulder, giving her a kiss on the forehead. "I'll leave you alone."
Her grandma gently closed her door, in order for Kim to slip into her pajamas, crying herself to sleep.
Kim felt so guilty. Her grandparents didn't know about her being a spy, or even her parents being spies. How was she supposed lie to the people who took her in? Was she supposed to sneak around, constantly disrespecting and deceiving them? She'd hate herself for what was to come.
"Wakey wakey, honey!" Rose sang, opening her curtains, turning the light on.
Kim did nothing but groan and turn over in reply.
"You're already late, get moving." She boomed.
"Late?" Kim muttered, immediately hoping out of bed. 'I can't be late on my first day.' She thought.
"Grandma?" Kim clenched her jaw, looking at her clock. "It's six-thirty. I'm not late."
"Great, you're up!" She mischievously chuckled, leaving the room.
Kim almost forgot how her grandma had always been an early bird. She hadn't seen her grandparents in nearly a year, and when she used to stay in their house, she woke up before six o'clock.
She managed to sweep her hair from her face, and made her way to the dining room. They lived in a one story house. It wasn't exactly a maze, but definitely huge.
"Eggs and bacon?" George, her grandpa joyfully chirped.
"You know it, Grandpa." Kim chuckled, hugging her grandpa, who was had a frying pan in his hands.
Kim and her grandparents sat down at the table, as George dished out the eggs and bacon, with a proud look on his face.
"Feeling better now, honey?" Her grandma asked her, eating their breakfast,
"Yeah, I'm fine." Kim smiled, trying to cover the embarrassment of being caught crying last night.
"We're here for you." George added.
"Yes. We know it's not easy being without your parents." Rose squeezed her granddaughter.
Kim smiled and nodded, finishing her breakfast.
She appreciated what her grandparents were doing for her so much, and would be forever grateful. Kim knew that she wasn't always the dream granddaughter that they hoped for, and wasn't the easiest to handle.
After showing her appreciation, she made her way to the bathroom to shower. Kim put on a little make up, just the bare essentials. She left her long hair down, since it was naturally straight. She tied the side of her hair into a waterfall braid. Her outfit consisted of her favorite skinny jeans, a white lace camisole. She put on a hooded jacket over it, to keep her warm. For her shoes, she wore a pair of navy blue low top converses.
Kim was a little nervous to start a new school, where she didn't know anybody, but she never had any problems fitting in. Although she didn't know it, she was gorgeous, caring, smart, and funny. Kim had moved town twice before, because of the spy work of her and her parents. Nobody had ever discovered her secret, and she didn't intend to expose her secret in Seaford, either. Kim had to keep her spy identity a secret. She also knew that she had to keep her extraordinary gymnastic and martial arts skills a secret, or they might jump to conclusions.
She threw her bag over her shoulder, and her grandpa drove her to school in his pickup truck.
"You'll be fine." Her grandpa reassured an anxious looking Kim, after they arrived.
"What? I'm not nervous." Kim scoffed, trying to cover up the truth.
"Whatever you say..." George teased her, so Kim punched him playfully in his arm.
He rubbed his arm, before greeting a guy who had been walking past their car. "Hi, buddy. How are things with your mother these days?"
Kim looked at the guy who was standing outside the window of her grandpa's car. He looked her age, and Kim instantly noticed his good looks. He had shaggy brown hair, tan skin and big brown eyes. To add to his hotness, he had two little moles on each cheek, which were adorable.
"Hey, George. She's doing great, thanks for asking. How have you and Rose been?" Jack pleasantly asked.
'Wow, great manners and great looks?' Kim thought, smiling at him.
"It's been tough, since this one moved in with us." Her grandpa chuckled, ruffling Kim's hair. She glared at him, before her grandpa dismissed her looks and continued. "Jack, I'd like to introduce you to Kim, my granddaughter."
"It's nice to meet you, Kim. I hope that you'll like it here." Jack pleasantly spoke.
"See, you've made a friend already!" George chuckled, looking at Kim.
She was relieved that she wouldn't be alone in this school.
Jack seemed so sweet, so when he gave Kim a dirty glare, she was taken by surprise.
'Wait, what just happened?'Kim thought, raising an eyebrow at him. 'I thought he was nice...'
"I'll show you around if you'd like." Jack smiled at her, once again changing his attitude completely when her grandpa wasn't looking.
Kim hesitated, trying to figure out his deal.
"Go on, Jack's a great kid." Her grandpa patted her back, indicating for her to go.
"Okay..." Kim mumbled, hopping out of her grandpa's truck.
She closed the car door, keeping her distance from Jack. "Bye, Grandpa!" She waved.
"Stay out of trouble." George joked, driving away.
"What's your problem?" Kim snapped at Jack, once her grandpa was out of sight.
"What do you mean?" Jack gave her an innocent smile.
She grunted before walking away from him. He quickly caught up to her and asked, "Where are you going? I thought I was going to show you around school."
"Listen here, I don't even know why my grandpa likes you, but I really don't need you to show me around." Kim glared at him.
Jack looked a little suspicious at her, but this glare soon turned into a smug looking smirk.
Kim grunted again, before she walked through her new school's gates.
Little did she know that she had been at the wrong place at the wrong time. Unlike her, Jack was more alert. His suspicions had now been raised.
Jack's curiosity grew as he decided that following her was his best option.
Eventually, Kim's suspicions also grew, so she picked up her speed.
She kept on walking, looking behind her every now and then, until she banged into something hard.
"I'm so sorry!" Kim gasped, looking up to a girl who had a disgusted looking expression on her face.
"Oh, my gosh, Erica! Are you okay?!" A chorus of students asked, running up to her.
"No! This little fleabag spilt my Starbucks all over me!" The girl, Erica, cried.
"I'm so sorry, here, take this." Kim gave her a handkerchief, that her grandma taught her to always carry one.
"I don't want your stupid snot rag!" Erica screeched, throwing it in Kim's face.
Kim took a step back, beginning to walk away, since this girl was clearly impossible to befriend.
"Who even are you? I've never seen you around." Erica hissed at Kim.
"That's because I'm new. Today's my first day here." Kim cheerfully informed her.
"Well since you're new, I'll give you some advice." She smiled at her, before hissing at her. "Don't come anywhere near me, Blondie."
"Wow..." Kim scoffed, walking away again.
This girl wasn't worth wasting her breath on.
"Do you really want to know what it feels like to have your butt kicked by a brown belt martial artist?" Erica boasted, the students surrounding her, clearly admiring her.
"Brown belt?" Kim chuckled, then muttered. "That's cute." Kim was a second degree black belt.
"I'm sorry, did you say something?" She glared at Kim.
"Nope. Actually... Oh, no! Please don't hurt me, your highness!" Kim faked a scream. "Is that the reaction you wanted?"
The crowd chuckled, since nobody ever stood up to Erica.
Kim began to walk away again, before Erica exclaimed, "You're so gonna get it, Blondie!" She ran up to Kim, preparing to attack her from behind. Kim's quick reflexes. meant that she managed to grab her arm and flip her, without any effort.
The crowd surrounding them looked dumbfounded at the so-called 'unbeatable' Erica, who was groaning on the floor.
Kim examined her surroundings, and her stomach started to turn. 'I'm in so much trouble.' She told herself as she ran through the crowd, until she was out of sight.
"Who was that?" The students gasped.
Jack smirked to himself, as he took out his phone and dialed a number.
Was it okay? I tried writing it in the third person, so it would be different to my others. Did you like it like that?
Please review/follow/favourite, and I'll try to upload the next chapter really soon!
