After a few minutes of looking around the party area where Celestina was allegedly at. We have grown tired of not finding a single trace of her. It's just so hard to find anyone with this thick of a crowd. It's like finding a flower in a group of tall and vascular trees.
The sun has already set, and it was already dark at this point, so it's harder to find her with the use of our sight, as it's impaired by the dark areas of the surrounding which is seriously a drawback to our search.
"Hello! Did any of you find a petite girl with blonde hair? Gives off the vibe of a clumsy person and looks like someone that hasn't work a day in her life?" I asked the group of people who were in front of me.
"Oh. I don't think so.." They all looked at each other. "Nah. Bro. I don't know anyone or haven't seen anyone that matches your description." One guy answered. "Ya.. sorry. I don't think I've seen anyone with that whole vibe." A girl answered.
"Thank you so much for answering!" I thanked the crowd and decided to regroup with Diana who was a bit frustrated and rattled, to say the least. She was tightly clenching her fist as I can already sense she is going to throw a fit.
"UGH! THEY SHOULD HAVE ATLEAST GIVEN US LIKE A PHOTO OF HER OR SOMETHING SO THIS'LL BE EASIER. TRYING TO DESCRIBE HER TO STRANGERS IS LIKE TRYNA PLAY CHARADES WITH THESE RANDOM IDIOTS!" She ranted, stomping her feet on the group.
"Agreed. Though, I guess they didn't really expect us to ask around. We were supposed to look for her with our sight, though this is proving to be quite difficult with the number of people here.." I sighed, responding to her.
"Exactly. Also, I SERIOUSLY hate my seductive charm. It's like a blessing and a curse! It's good for trying to seduce people to do things for me but seriously when I was trying to ask around, these annoying guys were trying to-"
"Hey.. um.." Suddenly a girl who has a shy disposition approached Diana. She had her hands cuffed in front of her as she was looking in the ground in a shy demeanor.
"Hi dear. Do you need anything?" Diana turned around to ask why the girl talked with her.
"I.. erm.. can I have your phone number please? I.. I like you.." The girl mumbled under her breath. Making me blush uncomfortably. Oh my.. is that a confession.. in the middle of this party.. when she said, there's been people after her, I guess she wasn't kidding.
"Oh sorry, dear. I already have my heart for someone. Though, I think you're pretty." Diana pats her in the head. "You know, how about let's exchange phone numbers. I think you'd make a good min- I mean good friend." She chuckled, chatting with the person whilst I remained there standing around looking for Celestina.
"Alright see you cutie!" Diana waved the girl goodbye before sighing. "See.. I told you, there have been so many people that have been approaching me today. I mean don't these people know how to keep it between their pants." She growled.
"Well. Why did you even give your phone number to that girl if you're not interested in her.." I raised my eyebrow.
She smirked. "Oh you know, she can be one of my minions in the future. How I'd love to use her for my personal gain if you know what I mean.."
"DIANA! That's bad. Don't go taking advantage of people like that. Even if you're pretty, still treat people with respect." I scolded her, making her pout.
"Rude... this is so why you're not going to get a girlfriend Cypress. You're way too uptight. You're so tall and handsome and you're probably large down there too and you still remain into a little goody-goody two shoes since the first time we met." She chuckled, teasing me a little.
"Well, I intend to keep it that way. Also, I'm just going to ignore that last part." I grab her by the ear, pinching it tightly to make her groan from the pain.
"OUCH! OUCH! HEY! I told you guys to choke me not pinch me in the ear!" She protested.
"CAN WE JUST FOCUS ON FINDING CELESTINA. WHY ARE WE WASTING OUR TIME LIKE THIS! STOP DISTRACTING US WITH YOUR ANTICS!" I gave Diana a light wack with my hand before finally adjusting my posture to look more serious.
"Right. Not like the suitors matter anyway. I already have Lawry-poo so I don't think I'd need to mingle with these lowlifes anyhow. Though they'd be nice minions in the future." She snickered maliciously.
"You are seriously evil," I grunted, just accepting the fact that this girl is never going to change. "Though if you're that evil, shouldn't you have just asked your suitors to look for Celestina? So that it's easier for us to look for her." I suggested.
"Hey! I'm not that evil geez. I wouldn't really take advantage of someone. I'd just get some information about them or ask a favor or two if I need them though that is a good idea and here I thought you were against me being evil Cypress!" She smacks me on the back a few times.
"Well, it's not exactly evil. We're literally looking for a missing friend. I don't see anything evil or wrong about that." I protested, denying that I had bad intentions.
"Which reminds me, why are we even looking for Celestina like a lost dog." She brought it to me.
"Uh? What do you mean exactly? Don't you think, comparing her to a dog is a bit bad?" I responded.
"I mean that, Isn't Celestina like at least sixteen or something. I'm pretty sure that girl knows how to go home by herself. I don't know why Lawrence is so eager to find her when she could just walk back to the dorm room herself. Also doesn't she have a phone? Maybe just give her a text or something.." She ranted.
"Well, from what I could see. Lawrence didn't exactly have a phone so that's why you're stuck here with me right now. Though I did see that they weren't exactly aware of anything related to technology, the first time I met Celestina, she almost fell in a plant box so that girl is fairly clumsy for her own good." I explained, reminiscing about what I remember with Celestina.
"Ugh! I KNOW RIGHT!" She shouted.
"Ya.. Lawrence must have been fairly sheltered to survive without having a phone for that long. I mean when I got a phone I was fairly addicted to taking pictures of my plants so ya. I don't know how long I'd be able to live without it." I told her my idea on the situation but apparently, Diana had a different idea.
"NO. I MEAN WHY DOES LAWRY-POO HAVE TO GO WITH THAT WITCH FATIMA." She stomps her foot in the ground. Making me roll my eyes as she wasn't actually referring to Lawrence himself.
"Um. Cause you won't give Fatima your phone number if we do find Celestina. We'll have to contact them." I explained it to her. "Which reminds me, why do you have some sort of bad blood with Fatima anyway?"
"I don't know, that bitch is seriously being a bitch to me. I'm just bitching at her back period." She flips her hair before finally turning to her side. "I SWEAR IF SHE'S TRYNA STEAL LAWRY-POO FROM ME. I'LL BREAK HER LEGS."
"Right.. anyway how about we just go back to- PING" My phone suddenly rings, making us both look at each other as I'm trying to look for what the notification was all about.
"What is it? did they find Celestina?" Diana asked me curiously.
"No. Apparently, she moved locations so we'll go there now. She's no longer here so let's go to the location they sent me." I told her but she's suddenly focused on looking for something else.
"Hey.. wait a minute.." She focused on looking on the distance whilst I looked at her confused as to what she's looking at.
"Um? What are you doing? Celestina's location is that way. Why are you looking over there? Let's go before we're late." I try to drag her to the location but she stops me.
"Are my eyes seeing this clearly but ISN'T THAT CELESTINA OVER THERE!" She pointed over to the crowd of people when I see Celestina being carried by two men while she is unconscious. OH MY.. CELESTINA!
"Let's go over there now! I have a bad feeling about where they'll take her!" Diana shouted as we dashed forward to the two men.
