Chapter 2
Leanne, Eliana's mother, and father all spit out the spaghetti in their mouths, the spaghetti noodles flew onto the table and they all started coughing like crazy wiping off their mouth.
"Are you serious?", asked Leanne staring at her in disbelief. In all of her years of knowing Eliana, she never gave in. Eliana nodded cheerfully. She looked at her mother and father's bewildered faces.
"I want to leave ASAP too. That would be sweet, like tomorrow or something! I can pack really fast since I don't have much stuff." Eliana shrugged dismissively.
"Go pack your things.", Croaked out her father's low, squeaky voice. Eliana shrugged standing up then putting her plate into the sink she skipped off towards her room. She saw Cole slowly walking down the steps glaring at her. Eliana smirked and stuck her tongue out at him going up to her room. She willingly started throwing all of her folded clothes into the duffel bag smiling happily. She could finally get away from this stupid family and go become a spy!
She finished in around an hour and then started picking up another bag putting all of her cosmetics into it before she heard a soft knock on her door. Eliana immediately recognized it as Leanne's knock for she had always knocked very quiet while the others banged like her door was a punching bag.
"Come on in Leanne!" Eliana smiled at the door waiting for Leanne to walk into the sliding door. She heard it slide and Leanne stepped into the room watching Eliana pack.
"Hey girly, so….You actually are going aren't you?" Eliana could tell there was a little disappointment in Leanne's voice, maybe because she expected Eliana to fight back?
"Yeah I am! I'm going to North Carolina and I'm going to ask my Aunt to send me to a spy school! I have always wanted to be a spy." Eliana couldn't wipe the smile off of her face. A smile flickered on Leanne's face.
"You and your spy plans…I have to go right now back home so I just wanted to hug you goodbye and tell you to call me. I swear if you don't call me I will keep calling you no matter how many times until you pick up that damn phone of yours!" Leanne giggled. Eliana laughed and hugged Leanne.
"You have always been the sister I never had." Eliana said still with her arms wrapped around Leanne. Leanne smiled and let go of Eliana after they hugged each other for a little bit.
"Take care of yourself Eliana." With that, Leanne left the room. Eliana squealed knowing that her parents would get her on a flight tomorrow flopping onto her bed and turning on the TV. Oddly enough there was a show going on about spies from the past and Eliana watched it curiously. After a little while a loud pounding was heard on her door.
"Come in, dad." Eliana said slightly groaning. She didn't feel like talking to her rather annoying father. He appeared into the room and walked over to Eliana's bed sitting on it.
"Your Aunt says that you can go tomorrow, we have booked a flight for you in the morning. Get good rest." Eliana's father strode back out of the room turning off the light. Eliana shrugged continuing to watch the program. After around an hour or two Eliana drifted off to sleep….
