A/N: hey guys! I don't have much to say except review! I know this isn't as long as the last few chapters but I didn't want to go into the next section yet in this chapter because that's kind of long. You could say it's a sort of filler chapter where a lot happens?

Your reviews mean the world to me! I posted this so fast, because of the amazing reader I have out there that sent a review my way!

Enjoy:

Chapter 11 Forgiveness and plans

"I cannot believe them! Who the hell do they think they are? It's one thing insulting us out on the street but it's another to come over to OUR school dance!" Timmy said in a raised voice as he paced the side of the pool in the back of our house.

"Not to mention embarrassing! I was just not ready! And not expecting that punch!" He added, trying to justify why he had ended up on the floor after their little encounter.

Straight after the incident at the dance, Larko had ended the evening early. We'd come back to our house to discuss what had happened and what to do. We were all still dressed for the dance, minus the masks and we sitting around our outdoor pool in the moonlight.

I hadn't spoken to Timmy since he had yelled at me up on the roof. But it wasn't like he noticed my protest, because he hadn't spoken or acknowledged me either, unless you count when he told Andy to 'get me out of here.' I hate being treated like a little kid. Ever since Timmy's parents had died and he had moved in with us, I had always treated him like my brother and we always looked out for one another, and it hurt to hear him tell me he didn't need me to look out for him.

"We need to do something even worse," Timmy said, his words trailing off and he thought of things we could do with the rest the group. I had stopped listening to him rant a while ago, and I was sick of everyone acting like Compton had committed a crime and it was up to us to find the fitting punishment. I stroked the petals of the rose in my lap. After Compton had left, I had gone back to the top of the stairs to retrieve the rose the mystery guy had left. Well he wasn't exactly a mystery guy anymore, he went to Compton. And not only that, he was Romeo Montague, the guy everyone had been getting all hyped up about. I didn't think he knew who I was before he danced with me, since we had matching bracelets, so there was no way he could have rigged that. But why did he bother to leave me the rose in the middle of the whole fight situation?

"That's all amateur stuff! We need to do something to remind them who's on top..." Timmy said in response to an idea Nala had come up with.

"Anyone else? Ideas?" Timmy looked around everyone, including me.

"Screw this, I'm going to bed." I said, standing up off the deck chair I had been lounging on and walking toward the doors to get back into the house. Everyone looked at me shocked, I wasn't usually as outspoken.

"What do you mean you're going to bed?" Timmy said, gesturing toward all of our friends sitting around, conveying the message, 'we have people over and we're in the middle of something, how can you go at a time like this'

"Look, we all know, you're going to come up with an idea whether I'm here or not-"

"We need your ideas too Jules"

"No you don't, you're a 'big boy'" I said sincerely, quoting his words, "I'm sure you can do it by yourself."

I turned around and walked into the main house toward my bedroom. I'm sure I heard someone say 'What's up with her' as I left.

After I'd left I'd changed into my pyjamas and plugged in my iPod to drown out the conversation I had just walked away from, as my bedroom over looked the pool and my balcony doors were open because of the heat.

I was absentmindedly flipping though a magazine while my thoughts were circling through everything that had happened tonight, from my argument with Timmy to Romeo Montague at the dance, to my exit just now.

Even though I had my headphones in, I still heard the knock at my bedroom door. I pulled my headphones out and looked behind me .

"Hey," Timmy said softly. I turned around again and continued pretending to read my magazine. Timmy took that as an invitation to come in because he walked into my room slowly, looking around as if he'd never been in my bedroom before.

"So , umm…I just came up here to um see if you were ok."

"I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" I said curtly.

"Jules, I'm sorry for what happened earlier at the dance." I carried on looking at my magazine, ignoring his apology. Timmy walked over to my bed and picked up the magazine.

"Hey!" I shouted.

"You weren't reading it anyway. Look I came up here to apologize, so can you at least hear me out?"

"Fine." I said and I got up and started taking all my mini pillows off my bed , prepping for bed. Timmy sat down backwards on the chair at my desk.

"I'm sorry I yelled, and said the things I did."

"That's what I don't get! Why did you! You've been acting crazy lately!"

"I know! Its just…there's something about him that gets to me—"

"Him ? as in Romeo?"

"Yeah…I just can't deal with him right now. And now he's back I just can't look at him without getting mad."

"Why? What happened before he left?"

Timmy hesitated for a second. "Juliet , it's a long story that happened a long time ago . So are we cool?"

I wanted to say I didn't forgive him but I couldn't, Timmy was my best friend and the only family member that actually felt like family to me, and I never could stay mad at him for long.

"Yeah, we're cool." I saw Timmy's eyes light up, " but only because its movie night" I said referring to one of mine and Timmy's many traditions.

"Thank you!" he said, jumping onto my bed, "I do get to choose the movie right?" he asked.

"Fine," I said in mock reluctance. I reached for the remote by my bed and clicked the button which commanded my flat screen TV to come down from the ceiling.

"Awesome, I'll be back , just let me get out of this costume, and I'll go grab us some popcorn." Timmy got off my bed and walked toward the door. After he left, he poked his head around the door a second later.

"Jules?" He said

I looked up from the long list of movies we had on the screen. "Yeah?"

"I'm sorry I said I don't need you. I'll always need you, you're my little sis."

(RPOV)

"That was frickin' awesome," Ben said with adrenaline in his voice. Right after we had left the dance we came to the park, which was empty of any sign of little kids by now.

"Nice to see you're back man!" Luke said, as he handed me another beer.

"Nice to be back," I said honestly. Acting like my old self had brought back that feeling of being in charge and I would be lying if I said I didn't like it.

I know I said, I was going to start a fresh, and try to resolve things with Timmy, but I wasn't going to take his hostility sitting down.

"Did you see his face after you'd hit him? It was a total Kodak moment!"Adam said.

Even though I was enjoying everybody 'respecting' me again, I couldn't stop thinking about the girl I had met at the dance. Part of the reason my mind was still lingering on her, was because I was obsessing over why I was obsessing over her. I had never cared so much about someone I barely knew, and that intrigued me.

"Hey, you guys, you know after I hit Timmy he told someone to get some girl out the way?" I asked.

"Vaguely..."

"So….ummm…was that his girlfriend?" I said trying to sound casual. I don't know why I cared, I hardly knew her.

Adam let out a snort, "No, dude, that was his cousin!"

"His cousin?"

"Yeah, Juliet."

From when me and Timmy had been friends, I remember him living with his cousin, but the girl I remember didn't look anything like my mystery girl. The cousin I remember was short and had glasses and was kind of fat.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah! But you probably don't recognize her; she's really 'grownup', since you last saw her. "She's hot now." Adam said nonchalantly.

"Why'd you ask?" Ben asked

"I dunno, she was my partner for that dance thing."

"WHAT!" Ben exclaimed. From the way he reacted you would have thought I had told him I had won the lottery. Although, even if I had, it wouldn't make much of a difference to my trust fund.

"THAT IS BRILLIANT!" he finished.

I looked at him, not completely following.

"Ok, hear me out, I think I have the perfect way to get to Timmy. Since you were her partner through that game, she can't suspect us!"

"Of what!"Ted asked.

Ben ignored Ted and replied back to me, "You're going to pretend to go out with her to get on Timmy's nerves, and then totally embarrass her or something in front of everyone."

"What makes you think she would want to go out with me?" I asked seriously. Now that she knew who I was, she may not be as friendly as she was before.

"Of course she will! You will be your total charming self! Nearly all the girls in our school want to go out with you, so I don't think we have a problem there."

I wouldn't mind seeing her again, but I wasn't too sure about the embarrassing her part.

Ben took one look at my face.

"Unless of course, you don't think you can handle it?"Ben said. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Luke and Adam exchange glances. Although I knew Ben was using reverse psychology on me, I still didn't want to back down.

"Of course I can handle it!" I said with a smirk, "Ted give me another beer."

Review! Tell me what you think about the ending? Good or bad? I know this isn't in the original Romeo and Juliet but what's the point of a rewrite if it doesn't have a few twists * evil laugh*

Also I know Romeo isn't as nice in parts of this but it's all part of who he used to be before he left, and will be a big part of the story…

Also what do you think of Juliet and Timmy's relationship?

Love you x
