As Dennis made his way he realized he was sitting next too Winnie.
"Hi." Dennis mumbled before taking his seat.
"Hey." She responded with nervous interest.
"Okay everyone! Time for reenactment of the play Romeo and Juliet!" Mr Griffin said clapping his invisible hands together. "And i was thinking we could have the new girl in for Juliet!" He said perkily.
Winnie blushed furiously.
"Uh sir." she said unknowing of how to respond.
"And!" He added ignoring Winnie. "We shall have Romeo played by young vampire Dennis!" He finished.
Dennis got wide eyes, but not because of his crush for Winnie, he KNEW why Mr Griffin did this, he was a sucker for a romantic action, and knew both Dracula his grandfather and *As informed by his grandfather last night.* Winnie's father.
"Mr. Griffin! If i may-" Dennis began.
"Now!" Griffin said excitedly.
Winnie's ears however drooped a bit hearing Dennis, in his reluctant tone to be Romeo . . . Juliet's true love.
*50 minutes later*
"Now as you can see the true passion! A passion that can only be fueled by flames of a forbidden love! Almost as strong as a . . . Hidden love, a love that only grows stronger as curiosity stokes such burning flames of want!" Mr Griffin said almost poetically. "Aaaand! GO!" He said.
"Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, which mannerly devotion shows in this, for saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss." Winnie said trying to throw her own fiery passion into her voice, but the dampness and fear of Dennis possibly rejecting her, had indeed thrown her off.
"Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?" Dennis replied in quote, feeling this might be his only chance just as it may be Winnie's.
Winnie filled with fear and desire responded shakily with passion. "Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer."
Dennis moved closer. "O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do. They pray; grant thou, lest faith turn to despair" He said smoothly leaning closer.
However before either could utter another word. . . The bell rang.
"Damn it!" Dennis thought.
"Of all the crap." Winnie felt in her heart.
Griffin also felt let down, he only did this too spark love in both of the teenage monsters lives.
"Alright! I want you too read the next scene, and memerize! I WILL be quizing you on this next week!" He said before dismissing them.
Next was lunch for the monsters, and possibly Winnie's last chance of the day too talk with Dennis.
"Hey sis!" One of Winnie's brothers said patting her back.
As she made her way through the cafeteria after grabbing her food she could hear snickering though.
"Oh no . . . Please no." She thought reaching for her back and finding a paper
"Kick me, i'm stupid." It said. Winnie almost felt like crying, but it was nothing too what happened next when one of her other brothers in cruel act, decided to kick her forward, causing her too fall face forward in her food.
Not realizing the extent of damage on her self esteem the brothers just laughed, as did a few other students, but Dennis just sat there seeing Winnie pick herself up, before bursting into tears and running out of the cafe.
