Rogue Squad

You've Got To Be Kidding.

Yawning, I step out of my bedroom and rub my eyes. That was the best slumber. You know, the kind where you sleep through the night with no dreams and you wake up feeling refreshed?

I head to the bathroom to start my morning routine and to freshen up.

Yesterday, after confronting Catalina at her work, Greyson and I returned to Derek with our new found information. Derek looked like a boy in a candy shop when we told him everything. He is confident that he will have a big lead in a couple of days. That means we will be heading on another mission soon.

If Damien is going to keep up his act with his father, he is going to have to come on this mission as well. Ugh. It's the worst when he comes. He is a complete jerk who just bosses people around. He doesn't know how to work well on a team. I still can't believe how quickly he bailed on Leo and myself during the last mission. He aggrivates me so much. I would have never done that.

I reach out for my tooth paste and tooth brush. I grasp them in my hands when I hear a loud knock on the door to my suite.

Visitors, at eight in the morning? That's unusual.

I toss my stuff back onto the bathroom counter and head out to the family room. Surprisingly, my mom hasn't answered the door. To be honest, I have no idea where she is. That woman is like a phantom recently. One second she is here and the next, just gone.

I open the door wide to see a perky eyed Rina standing there. She is wearing a casualy baby blue t-shirt along with a pair of work out shorts. She looks cute but not too done up, and her hair is straightened. Her eyes are practically sparkling. I can't help but smile at her pleasant attitude.

"Morning Rina. You're up early." I point out.

She smiles brightly, practically blinding me with her white teeth. Goodness, I have never seen a girl so happy in my life.

"Good morning Lucia." She giggles and adds, "Isn't it such a beautiful day?"

"Uhh, yup." I add popping the 'p', "What has you in such a good mood?" I ask curiously.

I motion inside the suite and allow her to come in. I shut the door behind her. Following her to the couch, we sit down and she follows up her giddy smile with a story.

"Well this morning, Leo and I took a stroll in the woods." She says excitedly.

I give her a strange look, "and?"

She smiles. I can feel the happiness pouring off of her in waves, "Then as we made it to a little river, he told me that I'm the most interesting girl that he has ever met. Then he told me that he is falling for me." She squeals and I smile.

No way, that boy actually has some balls after all. He isn't just a little scaredy cat! It's amazing how this little thing can be such a big deal to her. On the bright side, I don't think Rina is crazy because I would feel the exact same way if it were me and Greyson.

"So what did you say back?"

"Well," She begins, "I was so shocked that my face turned bright pink. My heart was pounding in my chest and I knew I couldn't talk. I was just so happy and yet so nervous at the same time. So I remembered what your mom said, and I decided to show him my feelings with my actions rather than my words. So I kissed him..."

My jaw drops open, "You kissed him?"

She nods.

My cute little innocent Rina made the first move? If she did it, then why haven't I made a move on Greyson yet? If she can do it, then I certainly can too.
