Anna's Twist On Dead Poets Society

The Plan

As soon as Charlie announced that he had an idea, the bell rang and he told the group that he would explain at the cave later that night. Rose was slightly nervous when he announced this plan because... well...it's Charlie. But she was willing to take any suggestions at this point. She spent the rest of the day with Neil. They walked around the town, stopping to admire the window shops. They talked about their dreams, their fears, and more about their childhoods. 

"So you haven't said much about your family, I mean I know your dad seems like he really respects people, " said Rose sarcastically. 

Neil looked down at her and shook his head, " I feel bad about that, he hasn't ever really done that to me... guess he really hates you!" Neil laughed and continued on to say, " But in all seriousness, he is the worst man I've ever know."

Rose looked up at him and saw him drifting off like he was remembering some sort of memory. She then grabbed his arm and lead him to a bench. They sat down, and Rose looked him in the eye and said, " Tell me more."

" Ever since I was little he always made decisions for me, told me how to dress, how to act, and even how to think. He never once asked what I wanted. Nowadays, he presses me to get the best grades in Welton, master a few extracurriculars, go to Harvard, and become a doctor." explained Neil. 

"What do you want?" asked Rose. 

"What do you mean?" questioned Neil. 

" I mean right now if your father didn't care what you did. What would you want to be doing?" said Rose. 

" I want to act and live as if tomorrow doesn't exist! I want to travel and write and read and sing! But do you know one thing I want that my father has no say in? You. I want to go on adventures with you and stroke your hair and sing you to sleep and kiss you!" he yelled passionately. 

"So what's stopping you?" Rose asked. 

"Nothing," he said right before pulling her in and kissing her. Rose sat there stunned. 

"Sorry, that was probably uncalled for..." apologized Neil. 

"Nope it was perfect, " she said kissing him back. 

And that my friends was the start of an epic love story with tell-novella romance and Woody and Buzz friendship. 

Later that evening the gang traveled to the cave, for another Dead Poets Society meeting. Once everyone was in proper seating arrangements (Rose was now sitting between Neil's legs, and laying back into his chest), Charlie began to devise his plan. 

"First, we will attach a string to the globe sitting on his shelf. Then we will place a frying pan behind the globe so that it is leaning on it. Then if and when Mr. Perv makes a move on Rose, we could pull the string which will send the frying pan crashing down!" exclaimed Charlie. 

Everyone stared at him for a good minute thinking he was very... what's the word... stupid. 

" Anything that will keep him away is worth it," said Rose weakly.

" Common guys it's actually not too bad..." suggested Neil. 

"I mean I guess so," said Meeks

" What if he's not near the shelf?" asked Todd. 

"Then I will beat his dumb butt up on my own!" defended Charlie. 

Camoren signed, " I don't even know why she's making such a huge deal about it! A woman is supposed to do what a man asks of her!" He sent a sharp look towards Rose. 

" Wow, that's litterally the biggest douchey, trashy, loser-ish, small-minded, stupidest, not-ever-getting-laid, bull crap I've ever heard. But I have to ask you one thing?" said Rose.

He smirked, "What?"

"Does it sting, knowing that you're going to die alone?" asked Rose. 

As she finished, the cave echoed with "ohhh's" and clapping. 

" That's what you get for being an ass, " stated Knox. 

"Yeah, are you so narrow-minded that you think Rose would listen to you. I mean she has to deal with stuff that you could never even imagine, so shut your nasty trap! No one likes you anyways!" commented Charlie. 

"It's true" supported Neil. 

This left Cameron red in the face, and angry. He stared at Rose, he was gonna show her!
