Rogue Squad

Sorry I asked.

"I still can't believe it took you guys so long to get here." I state, sitting, leaned against the short brick wall that lines the roof.

"Well we got to the shops but then dip-shit over here forgot the camera and we had to go back for it." Raymond says as he motions towards his brother who is taking pictures of the places Greyson and I scoped out.

"Woah woah. Let's not go placing the blame on one person here." Ruben defends himself.

I shake my head, "You had one job Ruben."

Leo laughs, "It's cool guys. At least the sun is still out and we can get these pictures taken."

"Aww how cute, we now have an optimist in the group!" I say happily and jump up to pinch Leo's cheeks. "You're adorable! Raymond and Ruben you guys could learn a little something from this fella!"

Leo's cheeks flush red and he swats my hands away from his face, "I am not adorable."

I giggle and go back to sitting against the short wall, "Yeah yeah, sure you aren't."

"Okay, I'm done!" Ruben cuts in.

"You finished already?" Greyson asks.

"Yup. I'm a pro at this point. I can get it all done pretty quickly." I roll my eyes. He is not a pro, but I will let him think what he wants.

"So does that mean we are heading home?" I ask hopeful.

"Yes ma'am." Raymond says as he approaches the ladder.

"Woah woah woah!" I shout, jumping to my feet. Raymond stops in his track and looks at me funny.

"What?" He says.

"Let me go down first." I say.

Raymond is confused for a moment but then he looks me over and I see a slight blush form on his cheeks and he covers his mouth with his hand and looks away. Jeez! I keep making everything awkward. Maybe things would have been better if I was just born a dude. Or you know... worn some shorts today...

"Oh yeah, sure... Go ahead." he says.

I sigh, I even made Raymond uncomfortable. That's pretty hard to do. As I start to go down the ladder I glance up and lock eyes with Greyson. He smirks at me, obviously reminiscing on our earlier encounter. I blush, remembering the fact that he saw up my shirt and I quickly stick my tongue out at him and continue down the ladder.

The rest of the boys make it down after me. I'm glad we are heading back home soon. After all this time I've grown tired and hungry. I wonder if Mom cooked for me tonight? She has been in such a good mood lately, and the benefits from that is her food. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

"Y'all ready?" I ask.

"Yes!" They answer.

I smile and walk toward my tree to change. "Lucia you better not run away from us again!" Ruben shouts.

I laugh and toss my hair over my shoulder, "We will see."

In the end, I out ran them all with Greyson close on my tail. Dang, it looks like he is going to be a tough competitor. Lucky for me, I love some good old competition. I quickly grab the clothes that I left in my hidden place. I slide my underwear on first and immediately I feel relieved. Who would have thought so much trouble would happen just because I only wore a t-shirt? Normally I'm fine, but we don't usually climb places after we shift back so I have never really been put in this predicament before.

I put on the rest of my clothes and run my fingers through my hair. I feel even more knots and I sigh in disappointment. There is never going to be a day where I shift back and my hair is tangle free, is there?
