Chapter 1

Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez were the only two in the auditorium that night. There were a thunder and lightning here and there. The two of them were rehearsing for the next school play which is Romeo and Juliet. They were made the main lead by Ms Darbus herself much to the dismay of Sharpay. Troy said his line.

"But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou her maid art far more fair than she:
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green
And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.
It is my lady, O, it is my love!
O, that she knew she were!
She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that?
Her eye discourses; I will answer it.
I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks:
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.
See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!"

Then Gabriella's turn to say her line "Ay me!" and Troy said his
"She speaks:
O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art
As glorious to this night, being o'er my head
As is a winged messenger of heaven
Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes
Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him
When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds
And sails upon the bosom of the air.

Gabriella then said her line now as she do the action
"O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet."

Troy's turn to say his line. "[Aside] Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?"

Gabriella lick her lips and said her line
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.

Troy came near her and said his line
By a name
I know not how to tell thee who I am:
My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself,
Because it is an enemy to thee;
Had I it written, I would tear the word.

"Brie, are you sure this is the right words? I mean. This sounded ridiculous." Gabriella looked at him sternly and said "Troy! Are you telling me that you think William Shakespeare is a joke?" and Troy gingerly nodded as he smiled "Yeah, I mean, who would use like nay, and art or whatnot. Its just funny" and Gabriella rolled her eyes "Oh, come on. It's called artistic. Everyone has them. William Shakespeare is one of the world's well known writer that I've ever know. What if I insulted Shaq for being black. Will that hurt?" Gabriella protested.

After a lot of argument like the storyline sounds completely unrealistic, the costumes were too weird, Romeo and Juliet are dumb names, they were interrupted by a sudden clap of thunder and the lights went out.

Gabriella got scared by the thunder and lightning as she held onto Troy who took her to the seats below the stage. Troy comforted Gabriella who was crying. "Shh, Gabi, its alright. I'm here" and Gabriella sniffed as she went deeper into his chest as the thunder struck viciously outside. They held each other for sometime and didn't realize that they've fell asleep.
