Romeo and Juliet : Revised By: Kate Rider
Hi! My name is Juliet and I live in Albany, New York with my loving dad, mom, and brothers and sisters. Which I have 3 of to be exact, 2 brothers and 1 sister. Even though I'm not the oldest I still love them with all my heart. I've always been not the most popular at school but I have friends, which some are evidently not as popular as others, but seriously… nobody should care about popularity! Everyone is created equal! … but that is a different subject entirely. I want to talk about my own personal dream that came true the first day of school…
It was the beginning of the school year. Big 11th grade and only one more year till freedom. The school smelled new, the popular ones from last year were complaining because they weren't popular this year, junior highers were trying to get their lockers open, Jeremy Spencer was being shoved in locker number 23… it was the usual. I couldn't help but laugh and watch Jeremy wave as the bully shoved him in, it was normal, he had gotten used to it, him being nerdy and all. As I turned back to what was in front of me I happened to run straight into a guy standing in the middle of the hallway, looking for his locker. The second I turned all of my books flew across the floor and immediately I knelt down the second he did making us clash our heads together. Holding our heads we both stood up and looked at each other.
"I'm soo sorry! I should have been watching!" we both said at the same time.
Then he started laughing and soon we were both laughing, making a spectacle of ourselves in the hallway as the bell rang.
"Hey. I'm Juliet." I said still laughing, accepting my books from him after he gathered them off the floor.
"I'm Rom."
"get to class Romeo and Juliet!" one of the teachers jokingly said from their classroom door.
"really it's short for Romeo? That's cool!" I said.
"yah. I guess I don't like it though…"
"what class do you have first?" I asked looking at his sheet. "awesome! Same as mine! We better get going before somebody yells at us again!"
We started down the hallway when locker number 23 yelled. I laughed and ran back to let Jeremy out and then on to the first day of school.
