This Is How We Started

Part One- Romeo and Juliet

Her POV:

It was two winters ago...

"Hey," a boy tapped my shoulder. "Do you need help with that?"

I was trying to reach a book that explains the plot and script of Romeo and Juliet. I was going to try-out for the role of Juliet in the upcoming school play and the auditions were in two weeks. I wanted to understand the true feelings and emotions behind the story, so I hit the books.

"..." I stay quiet as he easily grabs the book from the top shelf. His body presses against mine as he reaches.

"Here." He held out the book, smiling.

I nodded gently, unable to answer.

His smile grew larger. I couldn't stand the silence anymore so I picked up my backpack and shuffled out of the school library.

I leaned against the wall near the water fountain and sighed in relief.

This is how we met.

His POV:

"W-wait!" I called as she quickly shuffled away.

I couldn't even get her name... I didn't even tell her my name...

I ruffled my own hair as I let my frustration run loose. Why did I just stand there?! Wait... What book did she want? I believe it was... Romeo and Juliet? Yeah... Oh! Aren't we having try-outs in two weeks? Hmm... I'll be able to see her again then!

I beamed happily as I walked towards the drama teacher's room.

This is how I planned to see her again.
