Solipsism

chapter 1

Romeo: He jests at scars that never felt a wound.

Juliet appears in a window above

But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?

It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.

Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,

Who is already sick and pale with grief,

That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she.

Be not her maid since she is envious.

Her vestal livery is but sick and green,

And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off!

It is my lady. Oh, it is my love.

Oh, that she knew she were!

She speaks, yet she says nothing. What of that?

Her eye discourses. I will answer it.-

I am too bold. 'Tis not to me she speaks.

Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,

Having some business, do entreat her eyes

To twinkle in their spheres till they return.

What if her eyes were there, they in her head?

The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars

As daylight doth a lamp. Her eye in heaven

Would through the airy region stream so bright

That birds would sing and think it were not night.

See how she leans her cheek upon her hand.

Oh, that I were a glove upon that hand

That I might touch that cheek!

Juliet: Ay me!

"SCENE!" Mrs. Frondal yells as Mary-Jayne walks off the stage after eighth period after a long hour of being Juliet and listening to Brennan say Romeos lines "Great job today MJ, you did really good!" Brennan says with a wide smile and se can tell he means it.

"Thanks Bren! You did really good too!" She replies with a bubbly smile back.

"Thanks. Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to get some late lunch with me?" He says biting his lip as if he was nervous.

"Sure, I'd love that," MJ replies shyly "where are we going?"

"Uhh," Brennan ponders, he hadn't really thought about where they'd go, only that he wanted to go with her. "What about chipotle?"

"Oh my god, are you serious? That's like my favorite restaurant ever, next to Starbucks. I guess you could call me a white girl." She says laughing at herself.

"Yes I'm serious, and we should go now before the dinner crowd gets there."

"Okay."

MJ couldn't explain what she was feeling right now. She has had a huge liking for Brennan ever since she moved to Pittsburgh with her parents and two younger sisters.

She gave him a smile and walked alongside him to the car.

"I still can't believe you took me to chipotle, you're so sweet Bren." She knew she had already thanked him plenty of times but she couldn't help it. She was going out to eat with the Brennan Adler. The guy she's liked practically her whole life, she couldn't help but say thanks a million and one times.
