The weekend was over and it was another week of school. Ricardo was nervous out of his mind. Today he was going to have to face Julie Capulet and tell her that he wasthe guy that had kissed her at the masked ball.

His parents had already noticed that something was wrong, but there was no way that he was going to tell them that he had fallen in love with a Capulet! He just prayed that he wouldn't get a bad reaction from her when he is going to tell her that he loves her.

Julie Capulet was not having a good day so far. She had already lost her favorite lip gloss and she couldn't find anything to wear for school that day.

What is wrong with me? It's just another day of school. Nothing had changed. But Julie knew wasn't true, things had changed; she had fallen in love with her parents enemies son!

She glancedat her bedroom clock. Twenty minutes until school starts. She took a deep breath and left her house.School was almost over. Julie had tried her best at avoiding Ricardo. She knew she couldn't tell Ricardo how she felt until she knew exactly what to say.

Julie sat down and leaned against the big oak tree on the school campus. She thought out loud what she was going to say.

"Ricardo, I'm the one you kissed at the ball last Friday night. I know youprobably hate me because I am a Capulet, but I have to tell you something. I think I fell in love with you that night."

No, that sounds stupid Julie thought. Ugh, why does love have to be so complicated?

Little did Julie know, Ricardo had been standing behind her the entire time she was thinking out aloud. He had spotted Julie across the campus anddecided this was the time to tell her how he felt. As he got near her, he could hear what she was saying to herself.

Completely surprised by what she was saying, Ricardo forgot that he was sort of eavesdropping and that Julie didn't know that he was behind her.

"You really feel that way?" Julie quickly turned around and saw that Ricardo was standing right behind her.

She wanted to run away and hide away from her embarrassment. As she stood up and turned around to leave, Ricardo quickly grabbed her arm and asked her again. Julie looked up, trying to hold back her tears. She nodded her head yes.

Ricardo smiled and said "I was about to tell you the same thing." Julie laughed as Ricardo wiped away her tears.

"What are our parents going to think?"

Ricardo grinned and said "I think it would be safe if we tell the later."

Before Juliet could protest, Ricardo pulled her in for their second kiss. And Julie thought to herself it wasn't any less perfect than the first.
