A SHORT CON

by Johnny Bananas 

 I don't talk to trees ... honest. At least, I'd never admit to talking to them.

A student discovers the secret her teachers have been keeping from her. Enraged at being deceived, she decides to take things into her own hands and share the truth she's uncovered with other students before she's silenced by the faculty.
