"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone. I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess, it's a love story, baby, just say 'yes'"

~Love Story by Taylor Swift

"No problem. I'm Jax, by the way."

Juliet POV:

His words kept repeating through my mind. I knew he looked familiar. What should I do? I can't just not say anything, but Daniel told me not to talk to him. Oh whatever.

"I'm Juliet," I whispered.

"Juliet? Like Romeo and Juliet?" He said, laughing slightly.

I could feel my face heating up. "Actually I prefer to think of it like from the song 'Check Yes Juliet' by We The Kings."

"You listen to We The Kings?" Jax asked, sounding slightly shocked.

"Yes. Why do you sound so shocked?" I replied a little sassily.

Jax smirked, obviously unfazed by my sassiness. "Oh, I just figured you'd said 'Love Story'. You know by Taylor Swift."

"You listen to Taylor Swift. Are you a swifty?" I asked, raising my eyebrow.

"What! No!" He protested.

"Yeah, sure," I said, rolling my eyes.

"Aw. I ship it," a younger girl, who looked about Robbie's age, said walking up beside Jax.

"Summer, go away," Jax snapped.

"No. You're not the boss of me," Summer replied.

"Yes I am," Jax retorted. "Dad said I'm in charge."

"He also said you have to watch me, so, I win," Summer said smirking.

Jax rolled his eyes. "Juliet this is my younger sister, Summer."

I opened my mouth to say something in reply, but was cut off by my phone ringing. Caller ID: Daniel.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Juliet, where are you! Why didn't you respond to any of my texts? Are you okay?" Daniel asked in a rush.

"I'm fine, I'm just at the mall," I replied, rolling my eyes even though he couldn't see me.

"Why didn't you text me back?"

"Oh, I was, um, talking to someone," I replied, slowly.

"Who?" He asked curiously.

"Doesn't matter," I said, quickly.

"Did you know them because you can't just go around talking to strangers," Daniel said.

"I'm not four, Daniel. I can take care of myself. I'll see at home," I said, hanging up the phone.

"Lying to your cousin, I see," Jax laughed.

"I didn't lie," I protested. "I just didn't tell him the whole truth. And how do you know Daniel's my cousin"

"On Earth we call that lying and Miss Information posted on her blog that you two are cousins," Jax said.

"Are you always this annoying?" I sighed.

"You could always hang out with me at school and see," he said smirking.

"I should go," I said awkwardly, walking away.

"So was that a yes about hanging out in school tomorrow?" Jax called after me.

"Yes," I called back without thinking.

I walked outside and checked the time, 6:27. I groaned. Dinner was at 6:30, there was no way I'd make it back in time. Putting my phone into my purse I checked to make sure that nobody was around.

Saying the spell in my head, I waved my hand and teleported to my house.

"Where were you?" Daniel asked as soon as I got inside the house.

"I told you, I was at the mall," I said, rolling my eyes.

"You didn't tell me who you were talking to," Daniel told me, matter-of-factly.

"Oh, yeah, um. What's for dinner, I'm starving?" I blurted. Nice going, Juliet. Way to be smooth.

Daniel frowned and started to say something, but was interrupted by a timer going off. Saved by the bell!

"Dinner's ready!" Aunt Christine called as the T3 barreled into the room.

After a seemingly awkward dinner I decided to go to my room. My mind drifted to my conversation with Jax at the mall. Laying on my bed I put my headphones in and listened to the song that I was teasing Jac for knowing.

"We were both young when I first saw you.

I close my eyes and the flashback starts:

I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.

See the lights, see the party, the ballgowns.

See you make your way through the crowd

And say, "hello,"

Little did I know...

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles,

And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"

And I was crying on the staircase

Begging you, "please don't go"

And I said...

"Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone.

I'll be waiting: all that's left to do is run.

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,

It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes'"

So I sneak out to the garden to see you.

We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew

So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while.

Oh, oh

'Cause you were Romeo- I was a scarlet letter,

And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"

But you were everything to me,

I was begging you, "please don't go."

And I said...

"Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone.

I'll be waiting: all that's left to do is run.

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,

It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes'

Romeo, save me, they try to tell me how to feel.

This love is difficult, but it's real.

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.

It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes'"

Oh, oh

I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were ever coming around.

My faith in you was fading

When I met you on the outskirts of town.

And I said...

"Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone.

I keep waiting for you but you never come.

Is this in my head? I don't know what to think."

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said...

"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.

I love you, and that's all I really know.

I talked to your dad- go pick out a white dress

It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes'"

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you."

~Time Skip: Next Day~

"Are you ever going to tell me who you were talking to yesterday?" Daniel asked as we walked to school together.

"Hey look there's Andi and Emma," I said, avoiding the subject.

"Hey Juliet. Hi Daniel," Emma said, giving Daniel a kiss on the cheek.

"Ah! PDA!" Andi screamed, causing me to laugh and Daniel and Emma to blush.

"So what's up?" Emma asked.

"Juliet was talking to someone at the mall and won't tell me who," Daniel accused.

"Really? Who were you talking to?" Andi questioned.

"You know I should probably get to class," I said, awkwardly, starting to walk away.

"Nope," Andi stated, grabbing my arm. "Who were you talking to?"

"Jax," I muttered under my breath.

Daniel laughed without humor. "I hope your joking."

I faked a laugh. "Yeah. I'm gonna go now."

I walked around the corner and towards my locker. Sighing I opened my locker and started taking out my books.

"Hi," Jax's voice came from behind. I shrieked and covered my mouth with my hand.

"Oh my god! Don't do that!" I hissed.

"Do what?" Jax asked, innocently.

"So you are always this annoying," I stated.

"Only for you," he smirked as I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, sure," I said sarcastically.

"Did you get busted for lying to your cousin?" Jax asked.

I started walking away. "I told you, I didn't lie."

"Did you tell him who you were talking to?" He questioned.

"Yes," I said, slowly.

"Did you say you were kidding afterwards?" Jax laughed.

"Maybe,"

"I'll take that as a yes," he told me.

"Why am I even talking to you?" I sighed.

"Maybe you could go to the beach ball with me and find out," Jax said.
