Chapter 45 by Almax Almax

The three of you get prepared to head out together.

But instead, you stick around together for a bit longer.

Before the three of you can head off and start making the deliveries, you're interrupted by Delilah and Jace coming through the nearby Courtyard door together. They look around the space, then spot the three of you. Jace flashes a grin, and Delilah sneers, before they both walk over.

"Well, if it isn't the Debbie squad." Delilah sneers.

"Isn't 'the Debbie squad' just everybody except for you, though?" You ask, earnestly. Delilah shoots you a **** glare, but Jace speaks before she can say anything back.

"Hey, Lexi, would you mind if we borrowed you for a bit?"

Lexi shrugs, both hands in her central hoodie pocket again. "Iunno, probably. So long as it's not to take me to my room. I'm staying away until Miranda's gone to sleep."

"Me and Dellie were just-" Jace looks over at Delilah, as if picking his words carefully, then turns to Lexi again. "You, uhh- you can pick locks pretty well, right?"

Lexi nods.

"We, uhh...." Jace glances at you and Cameron this time, seeming to lament the presence of an audience, and turns back to Lexi one last time. "We got locked out of our room."

You try to stifle a laugh, but fail, and just turn it into a burst of air from your lips instead. Delilah's face goes bright red.

"Shut up!" She says. She plunges her hand into her pants pocket, digs around, and pulls out a dorm room key. "We didn't really, see?! We just want Lexi to help us get onto the roof!"

"G-guys, I- I sort of need to be doing stuff right now, and I wanna work on my shields later, so... could, could we, could this be decided sort of quickly, please?" Cameron asks, still holding onto the box.

Lexi glances over at you, as if for permission. You're pretty annoyed at Delilah, and feel like she got one over you by not really being locked out of her dorm, but Jace is nice. Reluctantly, you give Lexi the nod of approval.

"Sure." She says, turning back to them. "What for?"

"Oh, Delilah just wants to-"

"SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP" Delilah says, rushing to get behind Jace and Lexi and start pushing them both towards the nearby door into the school building. Lexi just kind of takes it, and seems glad to not have to move on her own at the moment.

"What?" Jace's fading-out voice asks Delilah indignantly over his shoulder, as she pushes him through the door. "Why'd you tell them the roof bit if you weren't okay with telling them-"

The doors swing closed behind them, cutting off the rest of their conversation, and leaving just you and Cameron. You share a look.

"...lesgo?" You ask.

"Lesgo." He confirms. The two of you head through the doors yourselves, you holding them open for Cameron, and start marching around the entire school delivering various objects and tools to all the people of the list.

It's long work!
