That Awkward Fairytale Romance

Fairytale Romances are so overrated. They don't exist, and they never will. Girl meets boy, boy goes out of his way to show that he loves her, and she marries him. There's a villain somewhere in there, but it really depends on the story, but anyway, the boy and girl live happily ever after. Boring and Predictable

Then there is Romeo and Juliet, where they both die. That's not very realistic either, but why do I care? I honestly prefer to be alone in my room with music blaring, but that's not exactly going to happen.

I am one of the most unromantic people ever, and when I'm assigned Juliet in my School's huge production of Romeo and Juliet. To my fortune, Romeo happens to be the senior heartthrob Tucker, not to mention that my evil stepsisters have a HUGE obsession with him.

So now, I have to pretend to be in love with a guy who's so not in my league, has lots of friends, and is mostly in the school papers.

That's just a recipe for awkward and disaster.

I do not take credit for any of Shakespeare's works, though I do use quotes from Romeo and Juliet, that is not mine, nor are any fairytale references, but everything else is!
