A few weeks had gone by and Julie and Ricardo were simply happy seeing each other in secret behind their parent's backs. Julie would use her excuse of saying she was going to a party or going to a friend's house.
Ricardo told his parents that he was going to a friend's house to study or something along those lines. In reality, they were seeing each other instead. Unfortunately, this plan didn't last as long as they would have liked.
One of Mrs. Capulet's friends saw Julie and Ricardo at the movies. As Julie got home from going to the movies with Ricardo, she knew something was wrong. Her house was dead silent. All you could hear was the slight crackling of the fire burning in the fireplace. Julie walked towards her family room and saw her parents both sitting on the couch waiting for her to get home.
From the looks on their faces, she knew they had found out. Mr. Capulet walked towards the breakfast table and handed her a piece of paper along with a pamphlet. Julie stared down and scanned the letter.
She gasped and said "You're sending me away to a boarding school?"
The boarding school was in Europe. Tears rolled down Julie's cheeks as she looked at the pamphlet. She looked up as Mr. Capulet said
"You disrespected us and not only did have you been lying to us for these past few weeks, but you lied so that you could spend time with that wretched Montague boy."
"As your punishment, we are forbidding you to seeing that boy and you will be going to boarding school."
Julie couldn't handle what her parents were saying so she ran up to her room and slammed her door. All she wanted right now was to be near Ricardo. She cried herself to sleep and dreamed of running away with Ricardo and never talking to her parents ever again.
