A/N: Thanks to Kristin and Pargoletta for reviewing! I tried adding in more descriptions, etc to this chapter! To clear up some confusion, this story takes place in 2008 in Verona, Connecticut. (I don't know if that's a real place or not, but in this story it is!)

Lady Capulet- Martha Crupnick, Justine's mom

Chapter Two

The next day at lunch, Ryan told Ben and Matt that he asked Rachel to be his girlfriend.

"But I saw the way you were looking at Justine," Ben said rather loudly, and Matt agreed.

"Shut up! Rachel's coming over here," Ryan hissed.

Rachel ate lunch with Ryan and then I saw them head out to the courtyard. "They're headed to the courtyard," I whispered to Natalie as they passed our table.

"So what?" She snapped.

"What's your problem?" I asked colder than I meant.

"Sorry, Mark didn't pick me up this morning, so I had to take the bus."

"Oh. Anyway, the courtyard is where couples 'hangout'." I explained.

Natalie then told me that she'd meet me at class. A couple minutes later, Mark came up to me and asked if Natalie likes him.

"What do you think?" I asked him.

He shrugged. "That's why I asked you."

"Yeah! You were supposed to pick her up this morning!"

"I was?"

I nodded. "Well, I gotta get to class," I said picking up my tray and backpack.

After school, I went home and did my trig and history homework in my room.

"Hey honey. How was your day?" My mom, Martha, asked me when she got home from work.

"Good," I replied. "Oh, I have a date a seven."

"With who?" She asked with interest.

"Brian," I told her.

She gave me a questioning look.

I sighed. "He's a senior, but we're only going to see a movie," I explained holding my hands up in front of me.

An hour later, the doorbell rang and I ran to get it. "Hi Brian," I said opening the door. "Mom. I'm leaving now!" I yelled up the stairs.

When we got out to his silver 2007 Porsche, Brian opened my door for me and then got in himself. "I've missed you Justine."

"It's only been one day," I told him feeling confused. "But I missed you too," I added quickly.

Once we had gotten our seats at the Regal 9, at the back of the theater, and the movie started playing, I felt Brian put his arm around me. He left it there for the rest of the movie.

After getting back into his car two hours later, Brian asked me if I had to be right home.

"No. Why?"

"Do you want to go to my favorite place in Verona?"

"Sure," I said nodding.

We drove to the lighthouse closest to the breakwater. "Here we are," He announced.

I looked all around us. Wow! This is incredible! The waves crashing against the breakwater, the moonlight casting a gentle shadow on the small lighthouse. The way that Brian had parked, with the moon behind him, it made his face look like a silhouette. It's beautiful up here! I thought gazing into his dark brown eyes.

Brian started leaning toward me and kissed my chapped lips.

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked pulling back.

"Kissing you," he replied kissing me again, this time asking for an opening, which I didn't give him.

"No," I told him. "Don't!"

"Why shouldn't I kiss you?"

"It's only our second date. I'm just not ready for that step in our relationship yet." I explained crossing my arms over my chest. I shivered even though I was wearing a sweater and jeans, and wasn't cold at all.

"Okay, well, I'll just bring you home then," Brian replied putting his car into drive.

When he dropped my off, I told him not to bother walking me to the door as I got out. After he left, I walked up to the porch and sat on the steps. Sometimes I hate myself.

I'm the one that wants a boyfriend and when I finally get one, all I do is push him away.

I stood up, and started to head inside when I saw a shooting star. I wish could find the courage to give Brian another chance!

(A/N: So? How is it? Is it better than you thought it would be? Worse? Feel free to give me suggestions, although, I can't guarantee that I'll use them since most of this story is already written in two notebooks! Yeah- TWO!! So far, I have 24 chapters written. Now, I just have to type them and put them up so that you guys can read them! Enjoy!)
