After Mr. Simpson's class was over they had to perform their scenes. Craig was confident about his partner. Koby was a bit nervous. She had not known anyone.
"Ok are you guys ready?" Marco asked.
"Yes," they both answered.
They went out to set up the stage for their performance. Koby wore a white church dress and a crown made of flowers, Craig wore a pair of black pants and a red shirt, and Marco wore a pair of black pants and a black shirt. Koby went out first to lie down. Craig followed her in. She opened her eyes and smiled to let him know she was ready to get started. He sat down at her side and began to talk.
"Her beauty makes this vault fill with light. Death can take away your breath but has no power over beauty. You are not conquered. Death's pale flag is not raised here. Here's to my bride. May the poison be quick," he said.
He grabbed the vial out of his pocket and drunk it.
He acted like he was dying. Every one was really interested even Ashley, even though she pretended not to care. Marco came in as Koby began to wake up. She looked as if she were really Juliet. She began her lines.
"Friar, where is Romeo?" she continued, "I know where I must be, but where is Romeo?"
"Death is a greater power than we can contradict," he paused, "It has thwarted our plans. Romeo is dead."
Koby started in on her next lines, "Poison! But you did not leave a drop for me."
She bent down to kiss Craig, but she could not bring herself to do it. Craig noticed her pause and grabbed her arm. She bent down and the kiss was final.
"Do not stay to ask why," Marco commanded, "I'll take you to a nunnery. Come quickly. I hear voices."
Koby grabbed the sword on Craig's belt buckle. She signaled for Marco to leave. Marco left the stage.
"Then I'll be brief," she paused and took a deep breath, "Happy dagger! This is your sheath."
She made as if she plunged the dagger into her heart. Then it was ended. Every one got up and cheered for them.
