Chapter 2 | I Don't Understand
It was 4 o' clock and instead of being at band practice with his mates, Eli was sitting at home attempting to do his homework. Unfortunately he didn't seem to be getting much done as he had spent most of his time in class asleep. Sure his first assignment was only to read Shakespeare's book "Romeo and Juliet", but Eli who had never read all that much more than song lyrics was struggling. It wasn't that he couldn't read, because he could read fine, it was just the language he couldn't seem to understand.
[Eli- Flipping through the pages of the book.Why couldn't he just write in just plain English?...I don't see what the big deal about Shakespeare is anyway.his just some guy who cant even write properly]
Eli gave up on trying to read the book and looked at the next assignment on the list, Write a short summary in your own words for each chapter of Romeo and Juliet.
[Eli- Doesn't anyone want me to pass? How the hell am I supposed to write a summary on each chapter if I can't even understand the Opening Scene?]

"Grace, Zoe, I'm home!" Lily Sammler called out as she opened the door to her house. Zoe ran down the stairs. "Mum Grace won't get off the computer, its not even here turn, she was on there yesterday" Zoe complained.
[Lily- Rests head in hands, rubs eyes tiredly]
"Zoe, I just got home, give me a few minutes and I'll try and sort something out, ok?" Lily said as she walked into the kitchen. The phone rang. "Zoe can you get that please?" Lily called out. "Mum, its some guy, he says his name is Rick?" announced Zoe curiously, handing the phone to her mother. "Hello? Oh hi Rick, Yeah that was Zoe." Lily walked off into another room and out of the range of Zoe's hearing. _____
"So who was that?" asked Grace, walking down the stairs as her mother hung up the phone. "Oh. No one important, just a friend" said Lily desperately trying to hide a smile.
[Grace- Since when does mum get that look over just a friend?]
"A male friend?" Grace inquired. "Well now that you mention it yes. His name is Rick, but no nothing is going on, and yes his just a friend. Now what is this about you and Zoe fighting over the computer, again? I thought we sorted this out already." Lily changed the conversation.
[Grace- Stares at the camera with a surprised look on her face.Mum has a male friend? Since when?]
