    Hank was a professor. Smart, kindhearted, and well mannered. His blue form made him feel insecure about himself, but he kept distracting himself by teaching his students. He loved them, don't get him wrong, but working with young people is hard, especially when they refuse to listen.

    It's October, Halloween season, and a couple days before Halloween. The students decided to pull pranks on the poor professor. All. Day. Long. At first, they were just annoying, like filling his toothpaste tubes with pumpkin paste instead, or putting green slime into his lab coat's pockets. He didn't do anything about it, since he knew that it was useless, so, he simply dealt with it. 'Just a couple more days', he reassured himself, 'They'll get tired of this', he thought. Oh boy, he was wrong...

    He came back into an empty class. Wonderful. His students decided to skip his lesson collectively. He walked to his table anyway, and noticed a letter on it. At first, he didn't touch it, because he didn't want to touch someone else's letter, but then, a name dragged his attention..your name. You see, you were a biology teacher, and he adored you. You were beautiful, kind, and everything he ever wanted to be. He gently picked up the letter and read it. It said that you wanted to meet him for a date, tonight.

    Hank was ecstatic. He picked his best suit, bought a lovely bouquet, and tried to look as presentable as possible. He couldn't believe that. Someone actually wanted him! HIM! The "monster" out of all the teachers. All of his excitement washed away the moment he came to the place the note said. Nothing but a balloon with the words "haha, you got pranked!" and a couple of his students in the background, giggling and taking pictures of his expression. The poor beast was devastated, to say the least. He went to his dorm, shut the door and threw the bouquet across the room. Then, he heard a knock on his door. The gentle sound only frustrated him further.

    "Go away. Leave me ALONE!"

    He snapped, without knowing that you were the one who knocked on his door. You saw him getting a couple pranks earlier, and you made all the teachers some Halloween themed cookies, to light up the mood, so you came there to give him a bowl, and maybe have a chat. You didn't know about the last prank. You didn't know that he adored you.
