A tragic love story (modern)

[firestorm]

Ooc Moon, this version is where I'm actually Juliet, I liked the name so, when you do the Romeo figure you can do another name, I just really like the name Juliet.

"Juliet! Foolish girl! Juliet!!" called my mother, as I scurried back down the halls of the mansion. "I'm coming Mother! Just be patient please!" I called in return, finally reaching the room she was in. "I'm here, what did you call me for?"

"I want to ask you something that is of great importance to me, what is your view on being married?" she asks. Without pausing for more than a millisecond I reply:

"It is an honor that I dream not of mother." I reply, rubbing my wrists, anxious to get away from this conversation.

"Well, I must say you are coming to be the age to become a bride, a mother even, come to think of it I believe that I was your mother by these years. Yes, that must be right. Well, your Father set up for a party here tonight, and I wish that you would go about and try to fi d a suitable gentleman out of one of the lads there, you may find someone you fancy." she said.

I nodded, agreeing, though I had no other choice, and left the room, lifting the skirt of my dress up a bit higher, as to be able to walk more quickly up the stairs this time.

Ooc time skip to party?

ooc: i decided that this modern romeo's name will be Alexander and he's not gonna be filthy poor. he's gonna have like a normal life and

I ran a hand through my dark hair and sighed as my brother called for me from the downstairs area from our house. Life had been unusually boring these past few weeks.

"Alexander John Nitely! Get down here! NOW!" yelled my brother again. I groaned and threw my pillow across the room, smashing my alarm clock.

I slid down our stair case and walked into the kitchen, saying, "You called?"

My brother, Jason, tossed me a can of Mountain Dew. I opened it and took a swig. "So," Jason said. "This was dropped off on our doorstep today." He helped up a small white envelope. "This girl's mother dropped them off at all of the people your age's doorstep. I opened it and it's an invitation to the party."

I smiled at the thought of a party. "Wait. Is it that rich girl that lives on the better side of town?" I asked.

Jason nodded and took a swig of his Mountain Dew. "So you better dress nice. It's a masked party too. Mom and Carrie went out to get you some new clothes and a good mask. Carrie said something about... Desparado?" he laughed.

I laughed along with him. Our younger sister Carolyn was always trying to hook us up with girls at any time. Now this was a perfect oppurtunity for her to get me a girl.

ooc: you can do the party intro thing.

"Juliet! Hurry up! Go downstairs! The party is starting!" my mother called. "I-I'm coming!" I called as my mothers maid tightened the straps on my dress. "You look beautiful miss Juliet." she said, straightening the feathers of the angel wings I had sown into the dress. "Thanks Mary, but you can just call me Juliet, I'm perfectly fine with that." I said, as I began to head out the door. "Oh miss- I mean, Juliet, you forgot your mask!" Mary said, handing the thin white mask covered in Swan feathers to me. I smiled, placing it over my eyes, and left the room.

When I reached the stairs, my mother shooed me down, smiling in pride. I rolled my eyes playfully, she overreacted far too much. But I loved her for it. I defended the staircase, the long, pure white hem of my dress falling like calm waves over the red velvet stair case. The room was already filled with people.


OoC don't know what else to post.

I flipped my shaggy brown bangs out of my face. They got so annoying that it was almost unbearable.

"Hey, Xander!" called a guy as he walked over.

I looked up. It was my friend, Kale. "Hey, dude. What's up?" I greeted him, slapping his hand in a high five.

"Nothin' much. I've been bored for quite some time." he answered.

I laughed. "What a coincidence! Me too." I said.

Suddenly a hush fell over the whole party. I looked to see what it was. It was a girl in a beautiful white dress, descending the staircase. She's beautiful! I have to find out who she is. I thought.

[firestorm]

I smiled slightly as the whole room hushed. I made my way down the staircase, as multiple people came up to greet me. With a hello, a smile, and a quick excuse to each of them, I made my way through the room. I brushed a lock of my long curly mocha brown hair out o m face and behind my ear. I walked to the edge of the room, standing next to one of the dark Collumns, watching the party. I was more of a shy person. Not like the snotty rich girl most people would think that I was. I prefered to sit back and watch others having fun, rather than putting myself out there and doing the things myself. People soon began to talk and laugh once again, and I smiled to myself.


" Juliet! Go out there and dance! There's a very eligable man named Paris who is very interested in you." my mother said, as she led me towards the boy. He took my hand, put one hand on my waist and we began to twirl around the ballroom, more gracefully than 7 thought I could move at all. After that dance I wAs swung to another partner, and as that one came to an end I excused myself once again to stand by the entrance of the dance.

IOC this is where Romeo makes his move in the book. He kisses her hand but that isnt really modern so you can change it to however you want.

ooc- bump

[Moon]

Kale elbowed me and said, "Dude, now's your chance."

I cleared my throat, cracked my neck, and then walked over to the girl, my stride cool and confident. "Hello, miss." I said. "I couldn't help but see you in the room. You're the girl that this party was thrown for, am I right?"

I laughed at myself silently. Xander, she's probably going to run away now. I thought. Adjusting my mask on my face, I smiled.

[firestorm]

I blushed, thankful that I was wearing the mask. "Yes, and hello, my names Juliet, what's yours?" I asked, stepping forward a bit so I was standing away from the wall.

ooc- sorry low muse my brother and I are going to be playing rockband between my posts.

OOC- BUMP

[Moon]

"My name is Alexander." I replied. I held out my hand to her and said in a funny british accent, "Would you care to dance, m'lady?"

[firestorm]

I felt my blush sharpen, and took his hand. "Of course." I replied, moving to stand next to him. The song was slow and steady, played mainly by a group of violinists, their arms moving in fluid motions as the violin bow was flowing over the strings lettig out such a beautiful and kind sound. I blinked, feeling my long dark eyelashes lightly kiss my skin.

Ooc rambling to make the post longer while I wait. Moon where are you!
