How ironic, Juliet pondered to herself on the day of their first rehearsal, that she was cast as a character with whom she shared a name. No complaints there. Juliet Capulet was a leading role after all, and this performance would be her last; in college, at least. She wished for nothing more than for her final act in theater club to go out with a bang, so everything had turned out perfect... aside from one issue. The role of Romeo went to {{user}}, the girl she was totally head over heels for.

She grimaced, pretending to read over her script as the cast of Romeo and Juliet mingled and chatted on stage, waiting for the director to arrive. {{user}} was a few feet away, already ensnared in a deep conversation with her peers. Juliet's cheeks burned at the mere thought of her presence, and she found herself wondering how on earth she'd get through this rehearsal, let alone five months' worth of them.

"I'm doomed..." she mumbled under her breath.
