::Ierys and Serena slink quietly into their desks while Rose' back is still turned to the chalkboard as she recites today's agenda::
Rose: Alright then, we'll pick up where we left off in a Midsummer Night's dream, Ierys and Serena I'm glad you could make it.
::She said it without even turning around::
Rose: Rough night?

Ierys stops mid yawn and sinks low into her seat. "Something like that." She says quietly, trying to keep the sleepiness out of her voice.
[[ooc: Darnit lol I kept checking the other thread, didnt know theres a new one lol]]

Rose: Well don't be shy sweetheart. Step up to the front and introduce yourself. Don't worry, they don't bite.
::Rose chuckles. Seeing no way out of this, Ierys makes her way to the front of the classroom with everyone's eyes on her. One of the boys even whistles, earning him a stern glance from the teacher which silences him immediately::
Rose: Now then, just tell us your name, where you're from, a little about you, and... Hm... your favorite ice-cream. That should do it.
::In the back of the room, Ierys can see Serena giving her an encouraging thumbs-up::

Great, public speaking.
Ierys looked around the classroom, they seemed pretty normal, perhaps a little to intent on her for comfort, but normal nonetheless.
Serena said there had been rumors.. well, lets just keep 'em guessing.
Ierys smiled at them all. "My name is Ierys, unfortunately I cant tell you anything else because my existance is very hush-hush. Top secret government stuff, yknow? Oh! And my favourite Ice-cream is strawberry." She turned and smiled at Rose quickly before returning to her seat, biting the inside of her cheek to keep herself from laughing.

::The classroom is quiet for a minute before a student at the first row breaks and starts laughing. Soon the rest of the class does the same, including Rose::
Rose: Alright, that was witty, I can respect that. I think you'll make a great addition to this class.
::Serena leans over and whispers::
Serena: Way to shut them up.

"At least they didnt take it seriously" Ierys whispered back "I was half scared theyd beleive it." She put her head on the desk. "Poke me if anything important happens."

::But Ierys doesn't have the chance to nod off, because Rose starts into the lesson again::
Rose: Alright, we'll pick up where we left off. Serena, you'll read Titania's lines.. Ierys, I think you can read Helena. And Lysander will go to... Garyon will you kindly stop drooling on my desk and pay attention?
::She directs her scolding to a young man in the back, apparently asleep two desks away from Ierys. He has golden brown hair, and at first Ierys thinks her eyes are playing tricks on her, because his ears are pointed and elf like. After blinking a few times, the points in his ears are still there::

::Garyon slowly lifts his head off his desk, slowly enough to check for any puddles he may have left behind::
Wha, I didn't hear you I was asleep.
::This remark was followed by a short laugh and then Rose stopping it::

Ierys cant help but smile, it isnt the usualy type of thing she finds funny, but laughter is contagious.
well at least I'm not the only one tired...wait, what? What did she say I was reading?
Ierys leans over to Serena and whispers to her. "What exactly am I supposed to be reading?"

::Rose calls everyone with a part to come to the front of the class, Garyon leans over to the pink haired girl and whispers in her ear::
Hey I think I am supposed to be a character named Lysander, and you are supposed to be Helena.
::Garyon hurries to catch up with the group::

Ierys opens her mouth to speak but Garyon has already walked away. She hurries after him and whispers urgently to him "Whos Helena?" giving him a pleading look.
((OOC: Sorry if its atrocious but theres a lot of arguing going on in the background atm ¬¬ stupid parents. They act like toddlers))

::Garyon looks at her, and then closes his eyes to see if he can remember the main rolls that this character has in the play. Garyon leans over and wispers in her ear::
If I can remember correctly, I think your character is in love with Demetrius, and he loves the person I am in love with, Hermia. So what I think happens is we both fall asleep in the forest and the fairy Puck sprinkels something into our eyes. Which in turn makes us both fall in love with you. In the end we all go back to our original lovers. Does that help at all?
::Garyon looks quickly over to Rose who is still waiting for the remaining cast to sit down::

"Not in the slightest" Ierys said beaming at him "But now I know the plotline. So come on, lets get this over with."

::Garyon picks up a script from the front of the class. Rose instructs everyone to start in Act two, right after Lysander has the dust sprinkeled into his eyes. Garyon jumps up as if to have just woken up:: Lysanders part: And run through fire I will for thy sweet sake. Transparent Helena! Nature shows art, That through thy bosom makes me see thy heart. Where is Demetrius? O, how fit a word Is that vile name to perish on my sword! (OOC: heres the link to get to the script of the play. Scroll down until you see Lysanders first part: www.william-shakespeare.info/act2-script-text-midsummer-nights-dream.htm

((OOC: Why, thank you, I was about to go dig out my copy lol, havent even opened it since we read it at school 4 years ago. & while I may know this, Ierys's education is sketchy at best.))
Ierys flipped through her copy of the script, finding the appropriet page and scanned it quickly. How can anyone understand these people? Can't they just speak real english? Ierys bit back a laugh as Garyon jumped up and, reslising it wass her line, promptly began to stumble over the words.
"Uhm.. Do not say so, Lysander; say not so... What ..though he love ..your Hermia? Lord, what.. though? Yet Hermia still loves you:then be ..content."

::Garyon after jumping up also lost his place in the script. After a short time though, he found where they were. He had always loved Shakespeare, but when it came to reading it in front of the class he loved it::
Lysanders part: Content with Hermia! No; I do repent The tedious minutes I with her have spent. Not Hermia but Helena I love: Who will not change a raven for a dove? The will of man is by his reason sway'd; And reason says you are the worthier maid. Things growing are not ripe until their season So I, being young, till now ripe not to reason; And touching now the point of human skill, Reason becomes the marshal to my will And leads me to your eyes, where I o'erlook Love's stories written in love's richest book.
Man, I probably should not have done that so dramaticaly.

((OOC: God no, I hated this play no offence, I can deal, im pretty sure it was just cos I hated english lessons, the play itself is fine. Dang there goes my theory of it being a sneaky plot device. )) Ierys let the script fall from her hands as she clutched her sides laughing. "I'm sorry" said desperately, trying to stop herself from laughing "I really am, but did you have to be so dramatic?"

::Garyon is starteld when Ireys starts to laugh. He starts to blush because now the whole class, including Rose is laughing. To try and not draw any more attention to him self he tries to come up with a remarke::
Well everyone told me I can be that way.
Oh are you kidding me, I couldn't thimk of anything better.
::Garyon continues to blush, and gets as red as a tomatoe. He sits down and puts his head in his hands::
