[color=ED1414]“If either of you gets egg on my hair, I swear to god…”[/color]

Leo grimaced as the staff member explained their next challenge, having been led to it by their previously scrambled clue. Did he commandeer the leader position of the group? Absolutely. Ultra competitive and athletic, scavenger hunts and races were certainly in Leo’s wheelhouse. Up until this point though, the challenges had been a piece of cake- menial and brainless, but this… this just seemed too stupid to actually pose a threat to their success. They had all been forced to be at least 6 feet apart in the courtyard, the distance not extremely far but definitely making the challenge a little more than child’s play. However, Leo wasn’t worried in the slightest- the only fear plaguing him was being on the receiving end of a broken egg and having it ruin his brown locks or crisp white shoes.

[color=839BD5]“Oh don’t be such a primadonna,”[/color] Francesca smacked her lips around a large candy pop as she lifted her sunglasses on top of her head. Looking at the large man child with humor-filled eyes. [color=839BD5]“If you get egg in your hair I’ll help you wash it out. We can wash our hair together,”[/color] she winked and popped the pop back in her mouth. 

It was then that Dwayne realized that his suspicions from the previous day had been correct: he was gonna have to deal with being the awkward "third wheel" for the entire scavenger hunt. 

[color=ED1414]“Well maybe I should break it on purpose then.”[/color] Leo passed the egg from hand to hand until the stopwatch began, and then tossed it to the teammate on his left side.

Frankie gracefully caught the egg and held it up [color=839BD5]“See nothing to worry about,”[/color] she said smugly before looking to her left to the tall dark young man [color=839BD5]“Hey D, look sharp!”[/color] she exclaimed before gently throwing the egg to him.

Dwayne caught the egg with ease, the corner of his mouth slightly tilting upwards in triumph once he did so. Dwayne wasn't too worried about ruining his clothing or hair during the scavenger hunt activity; after all, it would only take a few minutes in the shower or a few Tide pods to remove the gooey substance from his being if it came down to it. [color=751B27][b]"Yeah, it won't be a problem. As long as we're all careful..."[/b][/color] As the young man spoke, he shuffled the egg into his right hand and tossed it into the air once more, silently hoping that Leo would catch it.

The dark haired boy opened up his palms to receive, and caught the egg just barely, purposefully contorting in order to put his body out of harm's way. Leo tried to handle the egg as gingerly as he could, but the words gentle and careful weren’t exactly in his vocabulary, so he was trying his best. Weren’t physical challenges supposed to be about strength? With another toss, the egg sailed over to the blonde, a suggestive brow raised on the boy’s face. [color=ED1414]“Come on, Frankie, I know what those hands can do.”[/color]

Frankie caught the egg once again with a smirk [color=839BD5]“Mmmh”[/color] she replied, tossing it quickly to Dwayne without much pause. [color=839BD5]“Ugh! Has it been a minute yet? I’m over this…”[/color] she moaned looking to the faculty member observing them.

[color=ED1414]“It’s been 20 seconds.”[/color]

[color=#751B27][b]"You can't just chuck it around like it's a football or something, man. We've gotta be more gentle with it..."[/b][/color] Dwayne said as he caught the egg once more and threw it underhand to Leo. [color=#751B27][b]"Unless you [i]want[/i] to start this all over again and increase the chances of you ruining your shoes."[/b][/color] It was after Dwayne finished speaking that the faculty member nearby gave them the signal that they'd reached the thirty-second mark. They were almost there.

Leo rolled his eyes, grasping the egg as it was tossed back to him. He didn’t like being critiqued, not one bit, especially by Dwayne. [color=ED1414]“Gentle, my ass. We’ve just gotta just be consistent.”[/color] The boy advised, continuing with the order they had started with and passing it back to Frankie. 

Catching the egg once more, Frankie rolled her eyes giving off her ‘whatever’ vibe. She made eye contact with Dwayne making sure he saw just how slowly she was throwing the egg back to him. Once she had thrown it she crossed her arms in front of her. She was officially over it.

Letting out a sigh of defeat, Dwayne simply decided to just stay quiet for the rest of the challenge. It had become obvious to him other the past few tasks that trying to reason with or talk to Leo was like talking to a brick wall. The young man caught the egg with no problem, and tossed it over to Leo in the same manner as he had before. [color=#751B27][b]"Heads up."[/b][/color] His eyes went wide, however, once he saw Leo begin to struggle.

Leo fumbled the egg in his hands, Dwayne’s throw having been perfect but his own grip too harsh, causing it to crack on the ground and splatter over his shoes and the hem of his jeans. He knew that it was only his fault, but wasn’t going to own up to it as he swore. [color=ED1414]“Fucking SERIOUSLY!”[/color] He exclaimed, face turning red. He had just washed these pants and now he was going to need to wash them again, as well as clean his previously pristine shoes. 

Expressions of both amusement and frustration washed over Dwayne's face as he watched his teammate examine the damage that had been done to his shoes. [i]Maybe next time he'd listen.[/i]

A deep frustrated sigh left the girl [color=839BD5]“Are you fucking kidding me, Leo… we had like 5 seconds left!”[/color] she stomped her foot on the grass. 

The staff member simply shook her head as she handed Leo another egg and the timer started again. He growled as he threw the egg over to his teammate and the cycle began once again. This time around, he was extra careful, and they quickly made it back to the halfway mark without another slip up. But that didn’t mean he was happy. [color=ED1414]“Okay, one redo was enough so let’s just try not to mess up again.”[/color] He tossed the egg to Frankie. 

Frankie just caught the egg and threw it along without saying much. She was ready to move on and get this whole day over with. And as soon as the staff member gave them the sign that their minute was up she almost jumped with joy, skipping over to get the next clue. It didn’t take long for the girl to unscramble the letters to get the answer. [color=839BD5]“We’re going to the lecture hall… let’s go!”[/color] she said lowering her sunglasses again pointing with the piece of paper in the direction they had to go.  

Thankful that the second round of egg tossing had been successful, Dwayne simply tucked his hands into his pockets and followed behind his two teammates.

As they arrived at their destination, Leo tried to look around to guess what they’d be doing for their next challenge, but couldn’t figure it out. The lecture hall looked completely normal- or so he thought.  [color=ED1414]“So what, we're just supposed to sit here? Take a test or something?”[/color] He laughed to himself, sitting down on the top of one of the desks.

It was then that the staff member appeared and informed them that they’d be looking for puzzle pieces around the room and putting them together in order to get to their next location. Simple, yet slightly more effort than Leo imagined the task would originally involve. The male staff member also took the opportunity to reprimand the boy for not using a chair. Leo scoffed, sliding his feet back onto the ground. [color=ED1414]“Buzzkill.”[/color] The dark haired boy muttered under his breath. 

Frankie just sauntered in after Leo and plopped herself on the desk where the puzzle pieces were supposed to be assembled crossing her legs looking around. [color=839BD5]“Come on Leo… the faster you find the pieces the faster we can get out of here and do… other things”[/color] the blonde let out a small giggle. But when she felt the disapproving stares from the staff she huffed [color=839BD5]“Fine!”[/color] flipping her hair as she jumped down and started looking for some of the pieces. She quickly found one inside a textbook, and then another taped under a desk. She threw them on the desk where she had been sitting pushing them around trying to figure out where they belonged.  

[color=ED1414]“Other things sound good to me... D, you heard her. You take that side,”[/color] Leo pointed to the left of the white board,  [color=ED1414]“And I’ll take the other.”[/color] 

Trying his hardest to refrain from rolling his eyes in a mixture of annoyance and disgust, Dwayne walked in the direction that Leo had pointed out and began his search. It didn't take him long to find a couple of pieces himself.

Leo winked at Frankie as he strolled over to his jurisdiction, beginning to search for the pieces. He was pretty good at spotting them since they weren’t camouflaged or anything- bright spots against dull looking carpet, desks, and chairs. He effortlessly lifted up a chair with one arm, finding a segment underneath a leg. For dramatic effect, he tried to get the blonde’s attention, pretending to use the chair as he would a weight in a bicep curl. With a wink, he put the furniture back on the ground with a clunk and continued to scan around, spotting another piece tucked away behind the door. [color=ED1414]“Anyone having any luck? I’ve got two.”[/color]

[color=839BD5]“We have four then,”[/color]  Frankie said of handedly smiling in Leo’s direction, playing with the gold chain she was wearing around her neck trying to bring his attention to her chest, ignoring the staff member clearing her throat behind her.  She rolled her eyes once more [color=839BD5]“Which means.”[/color]  She turned to give the observer a look [color=839BD5]“We need 6 more to finish this dumb challenge!”[/color]  Frankie rearrange the pieces that they had found to find where they fit. [color=839BD5]“Any luck over there Dwayne?”[/color]  she asked without looking up.

[color=#751B27][b]"Yeah, I found four on this side of the room,"[/b][/color] Dwayne said as he walked back to where Leo and Frankie stood, the puzzle pieces in hand. The young man then dropped the pieces off in Frankie's pile before helping Leo search for the remaining ones. [color=#751B27][b]"Now we're just missing two."[/b][/color]

Leo found another piece thrown carelessly onto the ground, almost as if the staff member was inherently trying to get them to move on faster since he was uncomfortable. The boy figured there weren’t any more in his corner, since he already found three in that spot. So, he sauntered to where Frankie was putting together the pieces, dropped off the one he was holding, and began searching again around where she was sitting. Lifting up a stack of boxes in the corner (which he had no clue what their purpose was) he found the last piece. Tossing the cardboard segment over carelessly, he watched as it landed next to the rest of the pieces. [color=ED1414]“Well, that should be the last one.”[/color] 

As the last few pieces landed in front of her, Frankie quickly arranged them together. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out a ten piece puzzle. As she fitted the last piece with the rest, a picture of the pool was sparkling back at her.[color=839BD5] “I guess we’re going for a swim next?”[/color] she questioned the staff member who was scribbling away only answering with a curt nod. [color=839BD5]“Lucky I wore my bikini under this, huh?”[/color] Frankie winked at Leo before swishing her skirt as she turned to exit the classroom. 

Leo exhaled loudly, trying to get a hold of himself as he watched the blonde near the door, watched her [i]very[/i] closely. [color=ED1414]“Eh, lucky for some people. I would’ve have preferred nothing at all, but fucking Sol had to ruin skinny dipping for me. That bitch.”[/color] He turned to Dwayne, wiggling his eyebrows [color=ED1414]“Let’s go, Dwayne. The pool awaits.”[/color]

[color=#751B27][b]"Oh, great."[/b][/color] Dwayne said with mock enthusiasm as he began to follow Leo towards the door. [color=#751B27][b]"I can't wait."[/b][/color] And it was true, Dwayne [i]couldn't[/i] wait... for the scavenger hunt to be over.
