R&J Club

Aurora and Jackson meet in 9th grade and bond over their love of the ever famous Romeo and Juliet. Their friendship is tested when they decide to join the R&J Club. Upon initiation they're asked how they interpret the story: a beautiful love filled tragedy or a tale about lust and the dangers of radical emotions.

Aurora says lust.

Jackson says love.

The feud pulls the new members away from one another and suddenly communicating anywhere within 100 miles of the school is dangerous territory. If anyone catches them together they'll be kicked from the club and both sides will do everything in their power to tarnish their reputations.

They just met one another. Being apart shouldn't be a problem. Friends come and go but they're freshman and going to be here for the next four years. Surely they can lose one friend to miss out on being disowned by a crazed fan fiction club.

And yet they still catch eyes in the halls and hold it a bit too long. They still purposely bump into each during class. And although they didn't share a kiss when they first met, neither one can stop thinking that wouldn't have been too bad.
