Romeo, A teenage boy who is sixteen years old and does not come from a very wealthy family has been sent away to sleep away camp for the first time. He is very bright and respectful. While there, he meets a girl named Juliet. She is younger than he by three years is. She comes from a much wealthier family. One night, while at a dance, she meets this boy. At the time she had no idea of who he was or what kind of family he came from. As time goes on, and their friendship progresses, she realizes who he actually is. This is a conversation Juliet has with Romeo, late one night, when they both sneaked out to meet.
Romeo: But why? Why can't we be together?
Juliet: What would people say about us if they knew about this? My family name would be ruined. My parents would kill me. They would lose all respect for me.
Romeo: I don�t understand you, I really don�t! If two people are in love with each other why does anyone else have to matter? You are in love with me, not everyone else. Why then, care about them? I would still be the same person even if I came from a wealthier family. If my family name were to be changed, would you be satisfied? Or would you still be embarrassed? I wish I could change it just to please your family. Why must you make it so hard on both of us...? And about something as trivial as this! I am like the sky, and you are like the stars that complete me. We belong together.
Juliet: I do not mean to be so irrational. I know the real you, I know that inside you understand what I am talking about. Please don�t be mad. This is better for the both of us. Our families do not get along. The money is the main issue that is in the way of all of this. Unfortunately, the situation could not be changed. I wish it could be, but things are the way they are. I honestly do not see them changing anytime soon. Who knows, maybe it is like this for a reason. Oh why can you not be from some other family? Why can�t you deny your family name!
Romeo: What�s really in a name? You are the same person no matter how you look or what name you answer to. Look at this, now you have me talking nonsense. How did this happen? How has it turned into this big mess?!
Juliet: There is not much that either of us could do about this situation. The easiest thing to do is just move on. Yet I am in love... How could I walk away from love? Oh Romeo, why is this happening? There must be something we could do about it. Isn�t there anything at all? How could we just part? We can not and will not. How can people who feel so strongly for each other, turn their backs on each other? Is it really possible to just walk away and pretend none of this has ever happened? I much to in love to do such a thing.
Romeo: And I, I am in even more love than you are! Since I saw you I knew we were meant for each other. But now I am starting to have my doubts with all that is going on! What more could I do, there is basically nothing either of us could do. Maybe we could convince our families. Juliet, we must now rush into things to fast. The slower out love will be, the longer it will last. And the sweeter it will be.
Juliet: I know you are right, but I can�t help the way I feel. I want everything to happen so fast. I am tumbling into a circle of impatient love.
Romeo: We both must go, look at the time! Bunk check-ups are in five minutes. Run, go now!
Juliet: Till tomorrow!
