Chapter 1: Written in the Stars
Alexandra "Alex" Eames couldn't believe it…she had gotten the lead part of Juliet in her school's upcoming production of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. She had tried out for the part as a dare from her two brothers.
Equally surprising was that the part of Romeo was going to be played by Bobby Goren. She had heard of the tall and lanky student who also happened to be in her year: freshman.
Alex thought this should be interesting…a tall Romeo and a short Juliet.
When school was over for the day, Alex went to picked up the script need for the duration. Once she had it, she was instructed to read it over and begin memorizing the lines and to be ready for daily rehearsals beginning two weeks before the showing of the play.
When Alex got home she went to the kitchen to get a snack.
"Hi mom," said Alex as she entered.
"Hi sweetie how was school today?" asked Andrea.
"Good. I've got great news mom!"
"Oh what is it?"
"The lead part of Juliet is mine!"
"Aww, honey, that's so amazing! Are you nervous?"
"No actually," Alex declared proudly.
"Who's playing Romeo?"
"Bobby Goren."
"Hmm, good enough choice, I guess... um, if you need to help with your lines be sure to let me know, ok darling?"
"Thanks mom," Alex said giving her mom a grateful smile.
After getting her snack, she went up to start her homework and to read her lines.
