Chapter 26: Looks Can Be Deceiving

"What the hell is going on inside there?" Lawrence whispered to me.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO ASK. WHAT'S GOING ON INSIDE THAT GREENHOUSE. I looked at shock as I heard moaning from inside the greenhouse.

"THIS IS SO ABSURD!" Lawrence stood up from hiding and got inside the greenhouse.

"HEY! DON'T JUST COME IN THERE! YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING YOU KNOW!" I shouted trying to stop him.

He remained persistent, moving towards where the sound was coming from, I followed along with him, as the voices grew louder as we reached it. Lawrence shouted. "STOP WITH THE INDECENCY YOU ARE TOO YOUN-" He paused for a moment to see Cypress and a girl laying on the ground planting something.

"Uh..." he muttered confused seeing the two of them in a totally normal situation. I guess we shouldn't really just jump into conclusions, I mean we'll just end up like those people in my book where it's a misunderstanding and such.

"Ooh... who are these fresh meats?" The girl said teasingly towards us.

The girl looked very fashionable, wearing really skimpy clothing and a choker in her neck, she has pumpkin-spiced colored hair, along with black eyes. She somewhat gives me a vibe of a stereotypical witch. Her legs were alluring and she had curves too generous to take a look at. From her looks alone. I think she can bewitch anyone.

FRESH MEAT? DOES SHE LIKE EATING HUMANS? I trembled as the girl started to go close to us, touching me on the shoulders... Ugh... WHY IS SHE TOUCHING MY SHOULDERS! IS SHE GOING TO EAT ME...

"Diana. I think you are frightening them. Stop acting weird." Cypress grabs her by the shirt, dragging her back to his area.

"HEY! HEY! STOP BEING HARD ON ME DADDY! DON'T PULL ON MY HAIR!" She shouted as Cypress pulled her by her shirt.

"Please excuse Diana, she hasn't eaten her breakfast yet. So she is a bit cranky today and a little energetic than usual. So please pardon her erratic behavior." Cypress apologized to us, as she is being dragged to the shed.

"HEY DON'T PUT ME BACK IN THE SHED. I HAVE RIGHTS YOU KNOW!" Diana retaliated.

Lawrence leaned into my direction, "I'm pretty sure this girl has more than a few screws loose in her head."

"Hey! I heard that! I have very sensitive ears you know!" Diana suddenly stops her groveling and proceeded to start standing up straight. "Also stop pulling on my straps Cypress, my bra is going to fall off you know!"

"Wait? How did you hear that? I literally whispered that. In that distance, you shouldn't have heard that." Lawrence interrogated her, confused as to why she could have heard his whisper to me in the distance.

"Don't know. I was just born to have sensitive ears that's all!" She lets out a big smirk. "By the way! By the looks of this. You guys are new to campus right? New transfers I assume? I'm Diana Hannafellows! Nice to meet you two." She offers her hand.

Oh.. what an interesting person. I do hope she can remain acting respectfully this way.

"My pleasure, My name is Celestina Aurora and that over there is my brother, Lawrence." I introduced myself and Lawrence to her, offering her my hands.

Aww.. she's so nice. I hope we can be friends and she's not like a crazy person.

She accepts them, giggling to herself. "Ooh.. you got soft little hands. So delicate and so nice..."

Uh.. nevermind. On second thought. I think she has a few screws loose in her head, just like Lawrence said she has.

"Anyways! Are you guys going to sign up for the Gardening club? We would love the two of you to be members!" Cypress cheerfully encouraged us to join.

"Uh... is she part of the Gardening Club as well?" I asked timidly.

"Oh no. She isn't. She's from a different club actually. She's just here because she wanted to assist me with planting something. So rest assured, she will not try to do anything to you that will make you uncomfortable." Cypress reassured me, patting me in the back.

"Hey! Don't make it look like I'm some evil thing. You meanie! If only I could join two clubs I'll probably join your club. Honestly, the guys in the debate club are so not fun. They all look like a bunch of minute men. They aren't really enough to satisfy me." Diana responded, licking her lips seductively, as she gazed towards Cypress.

This is getting a little bit weird.. even for me... I'm out for something wild and erratic but this is a bit much.

"Wait? You're in the debate club? You don't exactly look like the type of person that would love to debate. You honestly look so carefree especially with the outfit you're wearing." I pointed out her skimpy and scandalous clothing.

"I'll just take that as a compliment!" She chuckled. "Although it's not nice to just judge someone based on their appearance you know!" Her eyes darken into a scowl before returning back into a gleeful smile.

"Oh. Don't mistake her carefree attitude as her natural personality. She's actually quite intuitive. She's one of the top students in the school with high grades. I've seen her debate as well and she was able to destroy a lot of her opponents with raw logic. She's actually pretty ruthless in my opinion." Cypress added.

Ack... that's kind of scary... BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT HER TO BE a top student... I mean she's so bubbly and cheerful... she's not like those silent but smart types. I guess looks can be deceiving.

"Aww! You don't have to compliment me, daddy! Just giving me your juice would be nice."

"JUICE?!" Lawrence exclaimed.

"Oh, sure!" Cypress grabs a juice box from his bag and hands it to Diana. "Here! This is my juice. Enjoy!"

"You know this isn't what I meant right..." She started to sob, but she still drank the juice anyway.

"So! Do you guys want to sign up for the Gardening Club!? I hope you guys sign up! I quite need members you know!
