Romeo & Juliet - Ponyboy

I already like shakespeare but the fact young leo played romeo makes me like it a lot more 😌

you and pony read romeo and juliet for english and... 😳

"Ok, class. Here are the partners for the Romeo and Juliet assignment."

The project was we'd be paired together and recreate a scene from Romeo and Juliet.

My teacher started announcing names, and I was silently praying I'd be put with Ponyboy.

Pony was a shy, smart greaser with blonde-ish hair and green eyes. I'd always had a crush on him, and if we got paired together that would mean he'd have to be my Romeo.

"Ponyboy Curtis and Y/n L/n."

I nearly stopped breathing. I looked across the room and smiled at Ponyboy, to which he returned.

"You have a week to practice, then next tuesday we'll present!"

The bell rang for lunch and we scurried into the hallway.

"Y/n, who's your partner for the english project?"

My friend asked.

"Oh, uh Ponyboy Curtis."

She gasped and smiled at me.

"Really?!"

"Yes? Why?"

"Oh, no reason."

"Ok, whatever you say I guess."

It was sunny, so we ate lunch on a hill where we could bask in the sunlight. We were soon joined by a very eager ponyboy.

"Oh, hey pony!"

I said cheerfully.

"Hi y/n. Is it ok if I sit here?"

"Of course."

He sat down next to me on the grass as I begun eating.

"So for our project, I was thinking we could do Act 2 scene 2."

I choked on my food.

"T-the balcony scene?!"

"Yeah.. is that a problem?"

I felt myself get flustered and instead of trying to hide it I just made it worse.

"Oh, well, um, no.. But it's just- I- um-"

"We can do something else if you want."

"Nono! It's fine, we can do that."

"Are you sure?"

He chuckled.

"Yes. Totally."

"Ok. Can you come to my house after school to practice? I'll walk ya."

My heart began to beat faster as he looked at me.

"U-uh sure, yeah."

"Ok. I'll see you later y/n."

He said before getting up and walking away.

"Bye Pony!"

I called after him. I sighed dreamily as I watched him walk back to his table.

"Wow, drool much?"

My friend sneered.

"Y/n, he totally thinks you're a babe!"

"R-really?"

"Yeah, I mean he just invited you to his house."

"That's only for the project though."
