Changing Love

Romeo and Juliet/ Levi and Marie?

***My Dear Readers (well no Friends): I am sorry that this update is running behind. I have had a rough week. On Friday May 4 , I was in a car accident that left me a little shaken, bruised and well in some pain. I am doing better , but my car is not poor thing. I missed a couple of days out of work, but I am back at work. I will do my best to have another update up as early as tomorrow (May 10). Thank you for reading :) Please let me know what you think. Please leave a comment. **

The next couple of weeks that followed me learning about my friend's secret things didn't really change that much. They were still the same people that they were in I first met on my first day of school at Cover High school. Each day to me was always wonderful because the same smile greeted me each day when I would walk out the front door to go to school and he never did not be there when I need someone to either talk to or just to hold me. Victor continued to try to get between me and Brody, because he still thought that I should be with him. He would wait till Brody and I would have to be separated due different classes, and then that is when he would make his move, but the one thing that made him a little upset was that I always managed to be with another person.

The one class that I that Brody was not with me happened to be English Lit., but I was glad cause I knew I would not be alone because Levi was there. Each class I would make sure that I would be right next to Levi so that we could send notes back and forth with out the teacher seeing us. I must admit that there were times that the notes that he would send me seem like he was writing the most wonderful poems for me. There were times I would catch him looking at me with a wonderful sparkle just for me, but the one thing that always came to me when I would see would be Brody. 'Class I am assigning you a partner for the next assignment' Mr. Walters said walking down across the room handing the first person in each row a huge bundle of papers. As he went down the rows each person sent back the bundles of paper, and when I received mine I saw the assignment and who my partner was. 'Levi, you're my partner for the project' I said smiling at him. He looked at me smiling 'Well I guess we will ace the assignment, well depending on what the assignment is' he said then looked at the paper and his face dropped. 'What is it?' I said smiling at him then I looked down at the paper 'The Balcony scene from 'Romeo and Juliet'' I said looking back at him 'Now class each group will need to learn the lines for their project. I normally just allow my students to do their scene in class among their classmates, but this year the entire English department will be having a Shakespeare Festival. As a class our assigned plays are 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'Hamlet', and each pair has a scene from one of these plays. Today you will talk to your partner about times to meet up to work on the project.' Mr. Walters said walking to his test. Levi and I sat there looking at each other then we both raised our hands 'Yes Ms. Keith and Mr. Weston questions' Mr. Walters said taking his glasses off. 'uhm would it possible that we can switch with someone?' Levi said standing up 'Sorry Mr. Weston, but all parts have been handed out. Is there a problem with your scene?'

'Well Sir' Levi said looking at me, but I didn't know what to really say. I looked back up at him biting my lip 'Never mind sir' Levi said sitting down. When the bell rung to leave for the day Levi and I walked toward Mick's classroom (well Ranger Base) in silence 'Hey Love wait up' Brody said catching up with us. I smiled at him then hugged him taking his hand 'Ok what is up?' he said pulling my hand 'Nothing really' I said handing the assignment sheet. Brody gave me a smile then read the paper 'You guys are performing in the Shakespeare Festival. That's Epic' he started to smile, but when he saw our faces his smile disappeared. 'Hey guys what's up?' Sarah said walking up with Preston close behind her 'Levi and Marie are going to be in the Shakespeare festival' Brody said handing Preston the paper. I walked over to Brody touched his cheek he smiled at me then kissed me pulling me closer to him. When the kiss ended we stood there our foreheads touching 'it's ok I know it will be a little painful to watch you kiss another person, but I know you love me' Brody said then kissed me again. 'Guys we may have a problem in the park' Mick said walking towards. 'What's going on?' Calvin said looking at him 'Buzz cams have been spotted in the park'. I watched as they all ran towards the base I looked at Mick and simple smiled at him then walked towards him. 'Everything ok Marie' Mick said giving me a smile then gave me a hug. 'Yes' I said smiling at him then followed him to the base. When we got in into the base the others were looking at the monitors at the latest monster that had been sent down to fight the Rangers. 'We better get over there' Brody said then looked at me. I simply smiled at him as he walked over to me 'Will you be okay?' he said touching my shoulder 'Yes I am okay here with Mick and Redbot' I said smiling then kissed him softly. He looked at me then touched my cheek 'Besides I need to start learning my lines. Remember' I said showing him the book. He smiled at me 'We will be back soon' He kissed my cheek then left the base. As soon as they left I started to study my lines 'Marie what are you reading?' Redbot said walking over to me. 'Levi and I have a project for English class.' I showed him the book 'Oh wow that looks like it would be a book about love.' Redbot said then looked at me. I smiled at him 'It is a wonderful love story. Its about a boy and girl whose families are in a feud. They meet and fall madly in love with each other, but because their families don't like each other they are unable to be together.' Redbot looked at me. 'Does the story have a happy ending like a lot of the books that I had read?' He said sitting down beside me. I looked down at the floor trying to figure out how to tell him without it upsetting him 'Well Redbot this story I am sorry, but no it does not end good. In fact the two young lovers die.' I said giving him a sad expression 'Oh' he said then looked down at the floor. We sat there for a while then Redbot looked at me 'Marie where can I get a copy of your book' He said pointing at my book 'Well you can use my copy. I have another one at my I house.' I said handing him my book. I watched as Redbot started to read the book each page he paid so much attention enjoying every word that he read. I was happy watching him enjoying the book that I didn't notice with the others had returned. 'What is Redbot reading?' Sarah said sitting beside me 'Romeo and Juliet' I said smiling at her. She started to watch Redbot read the along with me. The others even sat down beside us either pulling up a chair or simply sitting on the floor. Brody walked around sitting down on the ground in front of me leaning back on to my legs. When Redbot finished he looked at me 'Marie that was a sad story. They just wanted to be with each other, but their families didn't see it they only saw they hate and dislike they had for each other.' 'I know' I said giving him a weak smile running my fingers through Brody's hair. I watched as Brody turned his head looking at me smiling. I just smiled back at him then I looked at Levi who turned his head then walked outside. I looked over at Sarah 'What's wrong with him?' I said looking at the others. 'I don't know. He won't tell me.' Brody said standing up then sat next to me. We sat there talking about the fight and they explained to me about the monster that they battled that time. As we talked I noticed that Levi had not came back into the base. 'Brody I am going to check on him. I am a little worried about him' I said standing up 'Want me to come with you?' Brody said standing up 'I think I should do it alone ok. I will be okay' I said giving him a smile then made my way outside.
