"Halo class, today we'll be having a group act, what do you say? Yes, no?" our drama teacher Mr Fellen announces on the stage to get everybody's attention. Most of all of us are agreeing to the group act while the rest just ingnored the surrounding. "Alright, this will be fun. Yes, yes? This act will be based on the romantic suicidal William Shakespeare story, Romeo and Juliet," he says letting out his French accent take over. Half of the monsters groaned while the rest cheered. I was one of the monsters who groaned, like duh. "Yes, yes. But on one condition," everyone stopped cheering and groaning and focused on what Mr Fellen is going to say. "I group you up, Mr Fellen style," he says wiggling his eyebrows with an evil grin plastered onto his face. This time, everyone groaned including me that is. Mr Fellen jumps down from the stage and starts pairing people up in groups. Today I have class with Treena, Vamporella, the W.A.N.N.Z gang and Justin. And I'm secretly praying for Justin to be in a group with me. I watch as Mr Fellen picks the monsters out. When it comes to Justin's turn, he's in group with Isabelle and her minions along with Byron too. Then its my turn, I want to be in a group with Justin even if I have to suffer being with Isabelle. Mr Fellen groups me up with a few of my friends Treena, Vamporella and some other monsters. Noooooooooooo... I am separated from my one true love Justin... Aside from that, all the monsters in my group are female. What about the freaking kiss scene!? "Alright, we have that settled. Now you can discuss the roles amongst your groupies then pick a part from the story," Mr Fellen says leaving us to do our work. I look over to Justin's group and see Isabelle trying to get all handsy over him. Ughhh. I snort in disgust, still looking at their direction. "Gurl! Over here!" I hear Vamporella shout somewhere about the crowd of monsters. I walk through the crowd, searching for my fellow group mates. When suddenly a hand grabs me shoving me out of the crowd. "Hey Marri, what were you doing way over there?" Treena says dusting herself. "Nothing, just got lost, I guess," I lie. "Okay! I've got the list of the roles that were suppose to play, we have Romeo, Juliet, Friar Lawrence, Paris, Mercutio, Capulet, Montague and so on, check the list of you want," Vamporella says handing me the list of roles. "Before anyone can say anything, I CALL DIBS ON JULIET!" Vamporella bursts. We just glared at her, ingnoring her reckless free vote. "Okay, so if we want to pick the roles. We'll have to pick a part first, so we know exactly which characters are going to be used for the play," Treena says inspecting the parts given by Mr Fellen. "Which one do you guys think would be best? Since we are all girls, there's no way we can do the kissing scene. It's just bleurgh.." Treena says sticking her tongue out in disgust. "Unless there are some of you that are lesbians?" Treena says arching and eyebrow. We all shake our heads, keeping quiet. "So, I was thinking... Maybe we can do the dying scene, you know the part where Juliet fakes her death and Romeo stabs himself cause he thought she died for real, La La La La la, so what do you say?" Treena says all exited. "Sure" "Okay, I guess" "I'm fine with anything" "I'm down for it!" "Yeah I agree" everyone blurts. "Alright. Now for the roles," "I CALL DIBS ON JULIET!"  Vamporella squels cutting Treena's sentence. Treena glares at her and puts her back to her quiet position. "Choosing roles, isn't about calling dibs on anything..." Treena glares at Vamporella. "But it's about our skills in playing those roles, so we're gonna decide who plays who by acting out the part itself. That way, it would be a fair judge," Treena says confidently. "Yeah, but who's gonna judge?" one of the female monsters ask. "Me, I'm okay with any role. So when we find out which roles each one of you are playing, I'll be taking the last one out," everyone nods when Treena said this. "Okay,  let's start with the leading role's. Romeo," Treena says and gives each one of us a paper containing Romeo's part of the play. "Oh Juliet! Come, we can run away and live the life of our own, away from Verona! Where we can live happily together," Vamporella verses. "No you got the wrong part Rella!" Treena says showing her which part she's suppose to be reading. Vamporella mutters and "oh" and proceeds with the verse. I went for the last,  cause I really don't care what part I get. I'm even more worried for what's going on with Justin than myself. When Treena calls out for my turn, I repeat the verses the rest have said. With my pretend chummy voice of a fake Romeo. "Oh Juliet! My love, thou shalt not die alone... I will hereby declare my undying love for you by joining you in our deaths. May our love meet again in the next world," I add a fake stabbing action and collapse to the ground. Treena claps along with the others, a big grin plastered onto her wooden face. "Looks like we found our Romeo," Treena says and the others agree. Leading role it is then.

While the other continues their small audition, I sneak my way to Justin's group to see if Isabelle's done anything nasty yet. I creep up to a wall nearby, eyeing and listening carefully to their group discussion. "Let's play the kissing scene! It would be romantic, don't you think girls?" Isabelle says turning to her minions then back to Byron and Justin. "Isabelle can play as Juliet!" one of her minions say squealing around. "And Justin would be the perfect Romeo!" the other minion blurts. I watch as Justin shakes his head and points out to Byron for help. Byron ingnores him and agrees to the plan.

Justin, Romeo + Isabelle, Juliet = Kiss scene!!
"Okay! Let's start rehearsing! We've got a lot of work to do monsters!" Isabelle shouts out like she's the boss of the world. This can't be happening, ughh... Why do I even care? Well cause I sorta like him for 8 long years!? And I don't think he's ever gonna return those feelings for me. This is goddamned frustrating! "Sorry, I'm taking a break, I'll see you guys later," Justin excuses himself. I fall down to my butt, knees up to my chest. Shoving my face deep into my overwhelming thoughts. "Woah," before I knew it, I tripped someone. I didn't even bother saying sorry. Considering the fact that I am broken myself. "What the hel- Marrianette? What're you doing here?" "Nothing much, just checking Justin out"....
Me and my blabby mouth. Cue the dramatic facepalm, *slaps myself across the face*

"What do you mean..." he says cluelessly. "J-just forget I ever said that," I blurt in a rush. "I was just here for a break.." I say awkwardly. "Yeah okay... Wanna go outside? Besides I'm on break too," he says hands in his pockets. I answer him with a simple nod and out the door we go.
"you wanna tell me what's bugging you?" he asks once we get to a nearby bench. "it's nothing really," I say quietly. "You don't seem to sure about it," he urges me. "You won't understand Justin, it'll just be... Awkward for you," I say emphasizing the word awkward. "I'm fine with anything, just tell me what's wrong and maybe we can solve it together," he assures me. "I feel pathetic and worthless. That's it," I say crossing my arms, hiding my embarrassment. "And why exactly?" he questions me quickly. "The guy I like is in love with this perfect Juliet of the day," I roll my eyes. "And who is this guy?" he asks wiggling his eyebrows. "If you knew who, I won't be to sure about wiggling your eyebrows just about then," I mumble. "Pardon?" he asks copying Mr Fellen's French accent. "Nevermind that," I say. "So you said, this guy you like is in love with another monster playing Juliet's role?" He states the fact. "Ye," I reply simply. "Anymore hints I can use?" he says it like its a game. "Kissing scene," I say. "Woah Woah Woah. Our group is playing the kissing scene... So Isabelle is this so called perfect Juliet but... That means, I'm the guy in love with Juliet. As in you like me, Justin Timberwood?" he explains thoroughly. I nod. "you think I'd like Isabelle?  I rather stuff my face in my grandmother's wardrobe!" he admits. "Just because I'm playing Romeo's role, there is no way would I ever like Isabelle," he says with a disgusted face. "You say that now, but soon will regret it later" I say not believing him. "I was forced to play the role!" great and now he's pissed. "Why are you saying all these things? I thought anyone would be lucky to have Isabelle hitting on them?" I say confused. "Anyone but me. I like someone else way better than her," he rolls his eyes. I cough harshly at his sentence. "Better than me," I blurt in between my fake cough. "You won't understand M, it's rather complicated and unbelievable. So stupid that I'm in love with the girl who thought I liked the girl she thinks is the perfect Juliet," he says sighing. Wait. "wait a minute" before I can finish my sentence, he shuts me up, planting a kiss on my mouth. My eyes widened in surprise, but he ingnores it. The sudden gesture, does it mean something? Does he like me too? (Think Marrianette, you're not that dumb right?)
he pulls away slowly, coming at my ears. "I'm your one and only Romeo, M. Can't you see how crazy I am for you?" he whispers. I keep quiet, not saying anything. "I can be your Romeo, so please say yes if you love me too," he whispers again. "yes," I answer out of breath because of the feeling churning in my stomach. I pull him into a warm hug, satisfied with the feeling. "Shall we go in now, Juliet?" he says clinging onto my arm. "We shall, but I'm actually taking part as Romeo in the play, so...." "whatever you say, Romeo my dear," he says batting his eyes at me like what Isabelle always does. I laugh at his face as we walk back into the auditorium. Satisfied with the feeling of being loved.
