The Greenhouse Academy...Continued

Chapter 2

I couldn't believe Daniel actually wanted me to join the Eagles. I thought about it and it was actually a really good idea. I would be able to spend more time with Daniel and Alex if I am in the Eagles.

"Daniel, will you come meet me please?" I said from my Louie. And a few minutes later he came knocking on the door, and I answered it.

"Yeah, what is it, babe?" He asked me.

"What is this?" I asked, smiling and showing him the paper.

"Do you want to join the Eagles? I mean you would get to see me and your brother more. " He said to me, looking serious.

"Of course!" I said.

He left and I filled out the paper and then took it up to Louis' office which was four floors under me.

I knocked on his door and he yelled "come in!"

"Hey Louis I just wanted to turn this in," I said to him.

"So I take it that Daniel talked you into going in the Eagles. The thing is that the Eagles is a sport based team. Do you have any sports that you are familiar with, maybe some that you played before you came here?" He said to me.

"Yes, I used to cheer all through high school until now, so that is what I am going to do," I said and he nodded his head.

He handed me two catalogs for Greenhouse Academy cheer uniforms. He also gave me a sports form to fill out to fill out and I put both things in my bag.

"Thanks, Louis!" I said.

"You are very welcome, Hayley," he said back.

I left Louis' office and made my way to the classroom, where our challenge started at 8:30.

We got there and we all sat down. After everybody was there, even the Ravens. The challenge that we were all waiting for was finally waiting for was starting to happen.

Our teacher walked up in front of all of us "Okay, so today you will be doing a riddle. You will need to work together as a team to solve this riddle. You will need to go back to your hangouts and figure it out, when you get an answer. You will come back to me and answer it correctly. The first team to get it right wins a prize!" Our teacher said.

"Here is the riddle, I have four wings but cannot fly, I never laugh and never cry, on the same spot I'm always found, toiling away with little sound."

"Wait what is the prize?" A boy from the Ravens asked.

"That is for the winning team to find out after they have won," she said.

Both teams talked among themselves before we were finally dismissed to go to the hangouts. We had an hour to solve the riddle.

When we got there everybody argued about it, "Okay... so it is not alive, and it does not make loud sounds. It also can't move except its wings," Daniel said as we all tried to figure out what it is.

After about twenty minutes of thinking, Sophie may have finally figured it out.

" I have an answer, I think it is a tree!" Sophie said as we all looked at her for a second before starting back to the classroom with the answer.

We all ran back to the classroom where we came up to our instructor, "Did you guys get an answer?" she asked all of us.

"Yes, we think it is a tree!" Daniel said to her.

"Sorry, guys that is not the answer, think outside of box," she said back to us as we all walked back out.

It took us a while to sit and think about the riddle. This one was harder than the last one that we had. And that is when it popped into my mind. It is not a living thing so it can't be an animal or a human being, or even a plant. But it does have wings, and it stays in the same place, so it can't move. Then I figured it out.
