Author's note: Thanks to Twister468 for requesting this :-P
I am a huge fan of William Shakespeare, so if at any point it sounds as if I'm mocking him, I'm only doing it to get into character.
They are in High school now, but in the TND, (of course)
"Aww man," Wally whined, sitting at the desk. "English, and we're reading that cruddy, lovey, dovey story today!"
"Come on Wally, Romeo and Juliet is the most romantic story ever told" Kuki said, eyes widening as she looked at him.
He blushed at this as they both walked into their English lesson.
Wally took a seat in the back right hand corner. Kuki came and sat next to him.
Their horrible teacher, Miss Hathaway, a strict woman, tall, slim and old, came into the room.
"In hope you are all going to behave as I read you this story." She said sternly. "I will not tolerate any monkey business with William Shakespeare."
"I'm gonna get sent out," Wally whispered mischievously to Kuki, who just elbowed him and shook her head.
Miss Hathaway began:
"Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona, where we lay our scene. From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From fourth the fatal loins of these two foes, a pair of star crossed lovers, take their life."
"BORING!" Wally shouted at the top of his voice, causing many of the children in the classroom to giggle.
Miss Hathaway took a deep breath and walked towards Wally slowly, then rested her hands on his desk and put her face a few inches from his.
"Wallabee Beatles! If you think that you're getting sent out of the classroom you're wrong." She screamed.
"Aww c'mon Miss, none of us want to know about some goofy psychopath who walked around all day with a giant color on his head." Wally moaned, some children once again giggled. Wally was always known as the class clown since the start of high school.
"Well we aren't learning about him just yet Mr. Beatles, we are learning about his stories."
"It's not like nobody else can do it, here, I can do it, 'Said Hamlet to Othelia, I'll do a sketch of thee, what kind of pencil shall I use? 2B or not 2B?'" Wally said standing up dramatically reaching his arm in the air, the other arm on his heart.
The rest of the class burst out laughing, even Kuki was giggling.
Miss Hathaway was red in the face, motionless, boy, she was mad.
"Mr. Beatles, if you would like to write poetry similar to Shakespeare I suggest that both you and I do it after school, otherwise, I advise that you sit down and read the story, if not, keep zipped for others to read it." She said calmly, through gritted teeth.
"But, It's not even written in English, I can't understand it!"
"Well, try and find a way so that you can.!"
She stormed back to her desk and picked back up the book. The rest of the class bowed their heads into their own, following Miss Hathaway's reading.
Wally just sat there with his head on the desk. His eyes slowly fluttering, he was so bored he could just fall…
