What shape of these two bacteria? - (Nov/15/2018 )

Hello everyone,
I am doing an unknown project in microbiology lab and quite confused about the shapes of the organisms my professor gave out. I know the purple one is cocci but the other is so confused. Could anyone please take a look at my gram stain result and tell me its shape, please? Thank you.

It is a little hard to see from the photo - but as this is a lab question and therefore homework....

 

What do you think the shape is?

What is the Gram stain result?

What are the likely species you might find for the sample type?
