What word can I describe this feeling, love does not seem to cover it for love is only a word. It is the east and Juliet is my sun,...my everything...not like the inconstant moon. Her beauty like no other, her eyes Two of the fairest stars in all heaven, her lips are soft but they are lonely, with my kiss they would be complete. Her cheeks are rosy O, if I were a glove upon that hand that I might touch that cheek! I would deny the name Montague if it would get me closer ti her,call me love and ill be new baptized; Henceforth I never will be Romeo. Nothing will stop our love for it is pure like the finest rose in the blossoming fields in the spring. What if they find me here? That does not matter my love is better ended by their hate than death prorogued wanting of thy love. My Juliet..... soon to be wife, when she spoke those words, Thy propose marriage, send word to-morrow, I thought I was imagining things... and to think she thought I wouldnt say yes, theres nothing ive ever been so sure about.

Romeo's diary entry
Thursday, 10 November 2011
romeos diary entry
Today was a magnificent day. I had just met an angel, one which clearly fell from the skies and gracefully landed on this unworthy soil. The first time we met it was like fate had meant for use to be together, for we had made a sonnet for the first time we met,” If I profane with my unworthiest hand This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss. Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, Which mannerly devotion shows in this; For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss. Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too? Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer. O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do; they pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair. Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake. Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take. Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged. Then have my lips the sin that they have took. Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged Give me my sin again”. That proves alone that this meeting was not pure coincidence. Even so, I may have been a little bit too forward with malady. As I thought maybe a different approach to Juliet needed to take place, after all she deserves better than woo I gave to Rosaline, because she is better than Rosaline. So I “watch(ed) her place of stand, and, touching hers, make(ade) blessed my rude hand”. Holding her hand without even asking her name may have been the result of me just being completely absorbed by her beauty, and not thinking about if this brave act would terrify her.
There’s also this feeling I get, this strange feelings that completely take over my body, and I think it might be from her. Could it be lust? I do remember vaguely saying “O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?” I couldn’t even control the words that came out of my mouth. I admit I see now my love for Rosaline was foolish, until Juliet “I ne'er saw true beauty till this night” she was a mere pebble compared to the planet of her beauty….her window “Is the east and Juliet is the sun” for she is the one who brings the sunshine to my life.
Before the party I was at the bottom of the pit of disparity. My friend Mercutio jested around me, and yet made no impact on my empty soul. When he asked me to dance I replied “you have dancing shoes with nimble soles: I have a soul of lead so stakes me to the ground I cannot move”. That was the outcome of the futile love for Rosaline; it’s almost laughable. I still remember the “sad hours” I spent wasting in my quarters “not mad, but bound more than a mad-man is; shut up in prison, kept without my food, whipp'd and tormented…” But all of that is in the past, Rosaline being nothing but a book in an empty library.
I worry though, is it mere infatuation that takes my mind? I’m but an adolescent drop in the sea of life. I do not know the feelings that rush into my head, “Love goes toward love”, and I am a “schoolboy” “running from their (my) books”. But alas she is yet again another Capulet, an enemy of mine, “my life is my foe's debt”,” Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health!” the world has yet again turned on its side, confusing it’s poor inhabitant…..me.

Juliet Diary Entry
Dear Diary,
Tonight has been such a bizarre night; first my mother brings news of the valiant Paris seeking my love and I just felt like I should have went with the flow, and do anything my mother felt that was best for me. Then it all changed so fast when it was time for the party, everyone was having a good time but then there he was someone I never met before, Oh Romeo! He held my hand and we gazed upon each other’s faces, our words magically turning into a sonnet before we kissed in the middle of everything. It was so amazing and he kissed by the book, it was such an amazing feeling and I wished I could just keep on going and never have stop but then my nurse called me and my short fantasy ended. O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Why must my only love sprung from my only hate! Thoughts were rushing in my head, why a Montague, what will he be thinking once he finds out I am a Capulet will our relationship be over? I emerged to my balcony and began to think aloud, we are meant to be sworn enemies but I love him and I don’t think I can stop! If I have to not be a Capulet for me to be with him than I’ll no longer be a Capulet, what’s in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet; I will stick to Romeo and will not change my mind. I would let him take all myself! Then suddenly a sound appears from the bushes below my balcony, there he approaches! I was in shock if they do see thee, they will murder thee! I told him to leave but his love to me was just too strong and we began a conversation. At first I was blushing and rather than feeling more excited and happy that he was down below me I was terrified and needed him to leave! It was no use to try he could not leave, so I decided to leave myself, but he cried out the need of satisfaction. I was not sure of what he was thinking about so I asked and he replied the exchange of thy love’s faithful vow for mine. It was weird for him to say this as if it was not what he was really thinking but I just said that my love for him was endless and that I would not have to exchange vows again. Then my nurse calls for my name and a burst of energy just came out of me and I rushed to say goodbye but then I told him that if he really loved me, thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow. Now that I actually have to leave him for the night it felt so bad and I felt so very sad, though I am excited for the day ahead as I shall hopefully be wed with Romeo! But now I say goodnight to him over and over. A thousand times goodnight!

Juliets Diary
Ay me! What a night this has been! It’s hard to believe that only a few hours ago I was just this sheltered little girl who really hadn’t given any thought about love…that was until I saw him. Romeo. Oh Romeo! I am so lucky to have met him; I can just feel that it is meant to be. We are going to wed tomorrow, oh I am so nervous! But ever so excited! To be perfectly honest I’m not sure how to feel. Me? Getting married? Me, who twelve hours earlier claimed that marriage was an honor- and one that I dreamed not of! It’s all so overwhelming, the excitement of that kiss-my first kiss! That sweet sin! Everything has just happened so fast, but a good kind of fast. I have no hesitations with him, he’s the one. We met at the party; I had seen him looking at me and thought it was a little strange. The next thing I know he is right next to me and is trying to hold my hand! I didn’t even know his name! I knew it was wrong, but-oh! - It felt so right! He tells me that he wishes to kiss me, and then we did! He kisses by the book, I can tell you. I was so happy; all I wanted to do was to keep kissing his lips! But then, my nurse came and told me that my mother wanted to speak to me, so we had to stop. Even when I’d left him I couldn’t stop smiling. I think the nurse could tell something had happened, she knows me too well. She told me that Romeo was a Montague! Our families are sworn enemies! I was so consumed with sadness I ran up to my bed chamber and cried. I wondered if Romeo knew whether or not I was a Capulet. How would he react when he found out? We may never even see each other again. After changing into my nightgown, I walked onto my balcony and taking a deep sigh, questioned everything. Why is he Romeo? Why did he have to be a Montague?! I would do anything to be with him, I would give all of myself to him! Then, out of the shadows down below I hear a rustling and somebody speaking...its Romeo! I wondered why he was hiding there and more importantly how long for. I hoped he hadn’t heard what I just said about him! I could feel myself blushing thank goodness it was dark! When I asked him why he was here, he told me that loves wings had brought him. I knew if anybody saw us together, they would surely kill him! I warned him of this but he just wanted to be with me. I wanted to be with him too. I didn’t want things to move too fast, so I said goodnight to him and we kissed again. That’s when I realised being caught was well worth the risk! We talked for a while longer before my nurse called me again. I didn’t want this to end. I asked him to marry me and he is sending me news of when and where tomorrow! Now, writing it down it all seems so crazy, so unreal and completely rushed! Maybe I proposed in a moment of haste. But then again, I have never felt this way before. I trust what I feel and I wasn’t looking for love. Maybe in a way its fate. Of course I am thinking why oh why must I love a loathed enemy? Then I realized something. What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet! I will marry Romeo, regardless of what anybody else thinks! I’ll deny my father and refuse my name, because nobody can tell me who to love. That’s a choice I must make on my own.
Romeo's Ruminations
Julliets Diary Entry, Task 2
Diary, Today I had my first kiss, it was incredible, those pilgrims of his, I could kiss them all day long. It was really nerve racking at first, I didn’t know what he was doing, but those shining blue eyes of his grabbed my attention, I had no choice but to kiss him back. It all started from there….father I feel so terrible; mother is not going to be happy when she finds out about all the disobedient things I’ve done today. The worst part about it is that I’ve only known Romeo for less than a day. I’m marrying this man, or should I say boy? It’s all going too fast. But I seem to like all of it… I enjoy his company and his comforting words, he just makes me happy. Soon we shall take thee at thy word. Marriage, it is an honour that I dream not of until now.
I’m only 14, people may think I’m too young to love, but if only they could feel what me and Romeo have… then they wouldn’t be able to judge, because what we have is real. Why do people have to judge teenagers like me for loving a boy? I may be young but I do feel love when I’m with Romeo.
There’s just one problem, my parents, his parents, if they find out that I and my aesthetic Romeo have been seeing each other… my life is will be banished. He’s so irresistible, every kiss, every touch, I just can’t get enough. Our lips shall re- connect again; our uncontrollable passion will start… and will never end.
Diary, may I tell you something? It’s quite personal, but I must let it out. Whilst me and Romeo were talking on the balcony i felt this tingling sensation throughout my whole body. I know sweet, sweet, sweet nurse says seek happy nights to happy days but I am quite frightened of losing my purity. Even though I want to because I want to satisfy him but I have to remember that I’m only fourteen.
These were the exact words Romeo blurted out just before I had to leave, O wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied? I was shocked, because I actually knew what he meant. Still in shock though, he calmly said The exchange of thy love’s faithful vow for mine.
I am overwhelmed by the situation and the fact that I am getting married to the one I truly love. But we are “two households”, the problem is that we are two DIFFERENT households… with parents that do not get along, he’s a Montague, and I’m a Capulet. Why do names have to make everything so difficult? What’s in a name? Nothing, it’s just all the things within the name that people judge. O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? I wish you were here next to me right now so I could fulfill his pleasures. I must go now, Good night, good night! A thousand times good night! xxx
(sorry that its a day late, my internet cut off at 9, and then the blog kept saying i couldn't post on the wiki)

Juliet's Diary Entry
Dear Diary,
Today was an unforgettable day. Okay here’s how it went. Before the Capulet party kicked off mother asked my opinion about marriage. Marriage to a young handsome rich man called Paris. I stated it was an honour that I dream not of. I’m only 14; surely marriage is out of the question. I didn’t even fancy the idea of getting married to a stranger. Especially if he’s recommended by my ignorant mother. She even declared that all of Verona hath not such a flower. I was sure even Verona had men worth more than Paris if they were to be flowers. Mother left only after I had assured her that I won’t go into a relationship without her consent. I had already decided not to like Paris anyway.
While the party was in full swing, I caught sight of him. For a moment time seemed to stop. It was a feeling I’ve never felt before. I don’t know how to describe it. He came closer to me. Then he asked if he could hold my hand and I said yes. He said my hand was the holy shrine of a saint and he just a pilgrim. I knew that I wasn’t supposed to be chatting away with a total stranger. But, I couldn’t resist the temptation to stay. I quite liked flirting with him. We made half a sonnet before he decided to finally kiss me. Oh, it was such a sweet feeling and I felt like kissing him again and again. But, soon I felt uneasy. I wanted to stop and resume kissing him at the same time. We had made a full sonnet by the time we had kissed 10 to 20 times. Indeed he kissed by the book. I thought we would never part but alas nurse interrupted us. I didn’t even have time to ask for his name as he fled from the party.
The next few moments were the most agonizing of my life. Nurse whispered into my ears that the boy was Romeo, a Montague! I despaired upon hearing this. I am a Capulet, Romeo is a Montague. It’s not possible for us to be together. Bad luck must have befallen me as my only love sprung from my only hate. I love Romeo but I am not allowed to be with him. My heart felt like breaking into pieces. Is love more important than family or family than love? I didn’t know.
I escaped to the balcony to consider my thoughts. I voiced my opinions to the stars. O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo? Why can’t we be together? I mean what’s in a name? If a rose wasn’t called a rose it would still have the same scent even if it was called cowpats. So we’ll drop our names and take all myself. Suddenly someone jumped out from the shadows. And who but else it was Romeo who replied I take thee at thy word. I blushed as he said that and I realized he had been eavesdropping on me. I dearly wanted to take back that word because I didn’t really mean it but it was too late. I liked him but I didn’t want to rush it. I tried to explain to Romeo to go to bed otherwise he would be in trouble if he was caught. I bade him goodnight and I was about to go when Romeo boldly stated O wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied? I asked him what satisfaction could I give him tonight and he replied marriage. At once I was appalled. Just this morning I was dreading the sound of marriage and now I was offered it once again. I wanted more time to think about it but nanny had called for me. In haste I agreed. I told him I would send him a private messenger to whom he would tell the details of marrying me. Saying goodbye was so sad that I would love to say it till it be morrow. A thousand times good night.
Goodnight, Goodnight Dear Diary
Romeo and Juliet - Romeo's diary
Last night was perfect. I know people say that there is no such thing as perfect but last night was definitely the closest thing to perfection. I'm in love. With whom, might you ask? Juliet. O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! You probably thought that I'd say I was in love with Rosaline but in all honesty I have forgot that name, and that name's woe. Since meeting Juliet, I know I'll never experience such sad hours again and life is now worth living. To know that I can wake up every morning knowing that I'm in love with a dear saint makes me think to myself "she is my lady, O, it is my love!" You must be eager to know what happened last night right? Well...
As I was wallowing in self-pity, Mercutio decided to drag me along to the Capulet party which is held annually for everyone in fair Verona. Everyone but us; the Montagues. Being the depressed saddo that I was at the time, I replied to this offer of his by saying "I fear, too early: for my mind misgives some consequence yet hanging in the stars" but knowing Mercutio, saying this didn't stop him taking me to the party. When we arrived at the ball, god knows what I should've expected. Falling in love was definitely not what I had intended to happen! But there she was, looking like the goddess that she is. Right then and there, I knew she was something special. With my heart racing, I walked towards her cautiously so as not to attract any unwanted attention-don't forget, we weren't technically invited- and as I finally reached her, I don't know what came over me, but I reached out and took hold of her hand. Then she flirted, I flirted, a sonnet was created and before I knew it, we were kissing! I can't say this without sounding feminine or cliched but the kisses we shared were magical; fireworks, butterflies in my stomach, the whole lot. I could've stayed in her presence for hours but out of nowhere, her nurse came calling for her and then it struck me! Her nurse works in this particular mansion. This particular mansion belongs to the Capulets. She is a Capulet! My life is my foe's debt.
Hold on a second, I've got to go, Benvolio's calling for me.
Okay, back. Now where was I, diary? Oh yeah...
After knowing that you've met the love of your life, you can't just leave. So as the nurse pulled Juliet away, I ran outside in search of the room that they were going to. When certain that they were in one of the bedrooms, I made myself well hidden in the bushes with a view of a balcony. In the distance, I could hear Mercutio trying to make me come back by saying "Romeo! humours! madman! passion! lover!" Did it work? Of course not! I'm the sort of guy that listens to his heart and at that moment, my heart was telling me to catch a glimpse of my love for what could possibly be the last time. Quietly, I waited until but soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It was her, my Juliet. She made her way out onto the balcony and started to talk to the stars. During this one-sided conversation she was having with the heavens above, she said something that got me thinking. What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Surely a name can't limit who you can love or who you are as a person? Or can it... Anyways, after she said "Take all myself," I plucked up the courage to come out of hiding. I'll admit, she didn't look as pleased to see me as I was to see her. She seemed...whats the word? Puzzled? Confused?
The conversation obviously started out as "How camest thou hither, tell me, and wherefore?" to which I replied "With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls" Is that pretty romantic or what? Then she went on to say how she thinks that as a couple, we're rushing into things too quickly and that I should leave before anyone sees me. I still regret saying what I said next because it was such an awkward question; "O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?" How stupid of me to have blurted that out! But then she said something which I swear made the world stop spinning for a millisecond. As she was saying good night, she said "Thy purpose marriage, send me word to-morrow..." I mean, of course I want to marry her! I can't imagine spending the rest of my life with anyone else but her. And with that, we parted with such sweet sorrow. And such sweet sorrow it was! We both wanted to say good night till it be morrow.
It's getting late now so I think I'll stop writing for today. I'll be sure to write tomorrow about my wedding. Going to go visit Friar Laurence tomorrow to have everything sorted out, hope it all turns out as planned. I shall leave you with the words that my love said last night...
Good night, good night! A thousand times good night!
Romeo's diary.
I dreamt a dream tonight; where a divine angel appeared to me and gave me the gift of love. When I awoke from this impression, I discovered that the dream was reality and that the angel was the only daughter of the rich Capulet.
Ay me! Has my heart ever loved till now? I have never seen true beauty until this night. She has stolen my heart, that holy shrine, that dear saint, that Juliet. O, how she teaches the torches to burn bright! With a single glance I plunged into a fantasy, which removed my heavy soul of lead. I feel like a child on Christmas Eve. I’m anxious. But I’m warm and breathless and alive for her. An intense feeling is rising up from deep inside of me. My recent sad hours now seem a distant memory, of which I wish to forget. Rosaline. I have forgot that name, and that name's pain.
She is my sun, my love, my Juliet. My heart is hers, and hers is set on mine. But a Capulet; the only daughter of my families great enemy. This ancient grudge separates our houses and makes our love unclean. But love is love, and it knows no such boundaries. Cupid’s arrow has clearly pierced us both. To deny these feelings, which keep me bound, more than a madman is, would be a crime.
Call me but love for I am deeply entranced. I feel as a prisoner, being whipped and tormented, every minute I am absent from her heavenly shine. Love pricks like thorns but I have picked a rose. Cupid has lent me his wings and removed those heavy stakes that once anchored me to the ground. His light feathers have aided in my escape from griefs of mine own, which until now, have lied heavy in my breast.
O, Juliet! You have taught me to love, and in loving, you have allowed me to live. You are the sun to my world, the words to my prayer, and the key to my heart.
Yes, I have found myself. I am here. This is Romeo, he is here.

Love. Is there anything in the universe more beautiful, more wonderful, more magical, or more confusing than love? Before I met him, that is before I met Romeo, marriage and love was an honour that I’ve dreamt not of, but everything changed the moment our eyes crossed. We were at my father’s party. His eyes were blue like the deepest oceans. They called to me, drowning me in their splendor, depriving me of the oxygen that was him. O Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou so beautiful? My mind woke me from the trance like state. I looked down smiling at his hand holding mine. Then it hit me! What am I doing! I’m supposed to be with Paris not him. I pulled away. I didn’t want to but i had to. After all, we did just meet.
He called me a saint, a holy shrine, and he a humble pilgrim. My heart melted. The next thing I knew is that I kissed him or rather he kissed me. A shock wave of emotions flooded through my mind, happiness, guilt, bliss, shame and perhaps even love. For a moment I thought I had caught hold of love and held it as my own. For a moment I thought I understood why everyone wanted love so badly. But then that moment ended and I was left feeling guilty and regretful. From my lips Romeo’s sins are purged. I had to give them back so I kissed him again however only this time I only felt the tinkling sensations of that kiss. Then nurse called and that was when my happiness ended.
Romeo is a Montague! My only love sprung from my only hate! What am I to do? I’m torn in two. I love my family but I love Romeo. I can’t love Romeo if I love my family and my family won’t love me if I love Romeo! The shame on my mothers face will be too much for me to bear, let alone the disapproval from other family members. Why must I fall in love with a Montague? O Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo? My heart sank and was as heavy as lead. I couldn’t understand why this had to happen to me!
I went out to the balcony to try and get a break from everything, but instead I thought of Romeo even more. I can’t stop thinking about him. Why can’t we be together? Because he is a Montague and I am a Capulet? What’s in a name? Should I really let a name separate me from my true love? We’ll drop our family names and make our own. "Romeo take all my self", marry me. Then suddenly I jumped when I heard some one say “take thee at thy word”. It was no one other than Romeo staring at me from the garden. I stepped back in fear and embarrassment. I didn’t mean what I said. It’s too late to take it back now. I tried to explain to him that I do love him but to get married now is too rash, too unplanned, too improvised. We hadn’t even the time to think about the honour. Is it what we truly want? Or is it fools love? Then just as I was being sensible and reasonable he asked “wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?”
“What satisfaction canst thou have to-night?” I asked sharply and he said “marriage” I was ecstatic! But then I realized what that meant. I was hesitant; I didn’t know what to say next. I told him how I felt “My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep”. Nanny called for me. I had to be quick; I made up my mind to marry him. If you truly know that you love someone why not? Tomorrow we will be wed. Dear Romeo I’ll be waiting for you till it be morrow.

Juliette's Diary
Juliette’s Diary
Today something out of the ordinary happened. Something I have never sensed before. It made my heart warm and vivacious. Something that made my cheeks go red like a rose blossoming in mid summer. Something that I wont have a discussion about with anyone as it is jammed and carved in my heart. I don’t even know if I should even write about it on this piece of paper. Well I guess I could gossip about it with the nurse as she is like a mother to me… But then again I am troubled and frightened that the word will go around the family rapidly. Well okay then I have to let it out anyway.
Oh my god okay here I go. It all started earlier this evening at the party my parents threw at our house. It was a pretty awesome party by the way. My mom introduced me to this man called Paris. I mean come on who in the world would call their son Paris. She wants me to get married to him. This is because he is wealthy and has good connections to the outside world. But to be honest I haven’t thought of getting married yet or have I. Well I’m not sure. I guess I could… Or maybe I will wait. But anyway I don’t like Paris.
Later on that night while we were watching a lady chant, a boy clutched my hand. I told him he could carry on grabbing my hand as he stepped back quickly… So he did then I pressed him aside from the party and we had this really really really bottomless conversation about whether or not he should kiss me. I really was eager, as it was my first time kissing a boy. So after making what seemed to be a sonnet about me being an angel and he being none pure, he finally managed to kiss me and it was marvelous! I’ve never had this feeling before but if I had to describe it, it would be one of a kind. His supple moist lips touching mine as if they were boats and mine a port, perfectly completed for each other.
Then I realized something. I didn’t recognize this boy. But well we kind of went on kissing for a fine 20 or 10 minutes or so. Until… The Nurse called me. Then everything took a turn for the worse and things went so fast and he ran away. Then the most deplorable news was blown into my ear. “He is Romeo, He is a Montague”. I was shocked and my heart stopped. My eyes were paralyzed and everything started moving in slow motion. I could see the disappointment in mother’s face. As he fled, our eyes couldn’t stop starring at each other. I could see concern, fear and confusion in his eyes. I was confused and troubled for I am a Capulet and I mustn’t love him but then again he isn’t bad at all! So after thoughts about what to do next the most awkward thing happened!
As I walked over to my balcony I started to talk about why did Romeo have to be a Montague O Romeo, Romeo! Why art thou Romeo? Then he popped out of nowhere. I told and begged for him to leave but he persistent “If they do see thee, they will murder thee”, he stayed. We kissed and talked about love and our families and about them hating each other. I feel kind of awkward thinking that he was hiding in the bushes but oh well. Through my foolishness and confusion I think I said something out of place “Marry me” “Thy Purpose marriage, send me word to-morrow”. Yes I told him to marry me tomorrow. Romeo “Take Thy Self”
I believe I am in love with Romeo. He is so adorable and pleasant. I give myself to him. I wonder if he can do that thing to me that everyone has been talking about. Well we will see once were married.
Well later that night he had to leave because Nurse was yelling and getting angry for me not to be sleeping. Well anyway its getting late I think I am going to go to bed for am going to be a wife tomorrow and nothing will get in Romeo and my way.
Goodnight Diary and I love you Romeo. <3 Good night, Good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow.
Romeo and Juliet - Romeo's Diary task 2
Oh my God! I have had the time of my life, and I owe it all to the glorious Juliet, the beauty of Verona. Before the Capulet’s party, I thought that Rosaline was the all-seeing sun, but now I’ve realized I have wasted all my time loving her and am now convinced that it is Juliet that teaches the torches to burn bright. I have now finally had the true taste of love and am thirsty for more. There was a disease, slowly creeping inside of me that was killing me from within, but Juliet was my cure and has completed me. It is she that makes me love life like never before. Not once have I felt this much joy and content until this very night. I was a fool when I loved Rosaline. Immature and impulsive. I used to wallow in self-pity, but when I met Juliet, she has put a spell on me and since then I have changed. Juliet is my heart
It was during the Capulet’s party where I first laid eyes on the majestic Juliet and fell instantly in love with her. And to think that I thought I was in love with Rosaline. She is a goddess and I am a sin when compared to her, and I have profaned her with my unworthiest hand by touching hers. It was in the elevator just after we met where we exchanged lips and kissed. My body was a firework that was ready to set off, and the moment we touched, I felt the sparks of a cluster of Cupid’s arrows rapidly warming up within me. My whole body just exploded and it was at that moment that I knew who I was truly in love with, and truly want to be with until the end.
It was only after the party, however, that I found out that Juliet was part of the Capulet family, and that is when my whole body melted. My life is my foes debt I thought. But that didn’t worry me too much, because what’s in a name? I went back to the Capulet’s house after Mercutio dragged me away. I ran to their swimming pool and heard the elevator open, so I went to hide. But then it was actually Juliet that came out, and she started to talk about me. I was excited but nervous at the same time. So many questions were running through my mind. “Is she going to talk about how much she loves me?” Or “is she going to talk about bad things about me?” “Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?” but before I could go on, she mentioned about her surrendering herself to me. o blessed, blessed night! That is when I came out of the shadows and did as she asked.
It was after that point which me and Juliet ecstatically expressed each other’s love for one another. Tomorrow I shall be married to her. The happiest day of my life. I last saw her on her balcony, and climbed up her orchard fence, for stony limits cannot hold true love and received a necklace I will never take off or lose. I and Juliet are definitely meant for each other, and we will leave the world and all the people behind and live with each other for ever.
Romeo's Diary
Enough of my love for her, let me describe the anxious beauty within her. For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night. No one has ever been more beautiful. Even Rosaline. Rosaline? Who's Rosaline? I have forgot that name. Speaking of names, my lover is a Capulet. Juliet Capulet the only living daughter of my great enemy. O that shouldn't worry me, since my love for her is so strong no thorn will ever prick its delicateness.
When our eyes first met fireworks must have been lit in both our eyes. When we had our first kiss it was magic. When I kissed Juliet my sin was finally purged. Pity her nurse had to separate us as we were about to finish our second sonnet and have another kiss. I could have gone on for hours at that party. It's funny to think how a girl of fourteen years of age, a very obedient girl can flirt so well with me and drag me closer, ever so closer to her smooth, soft lips. It was the most amazing party in my whole entire life.
Then Mercutio had to drag me away. As I saw my sun, my love following me, my heart longed to be with her, like a baby clinging to its mother. I couldn't stand it. I must see her again so I raced off and came across a balcony. In the distance I heard Mercutio shouting, "Romeo! humours! madman! passion! lover!" That didn't affect me, because I was passionate to see my lover again.
There was a light from yonder window. It was my lady. O, it was my love. She really is a bright shining angel, especially as she stared at the two shinning stars. I was well hidden. She would never see me. When she said my name my heart beated like a monkey trying to get out of its cage. I dared not move, but I wanted to shout out that I am here, but it would have ruined the moment. She continued to speak about me. When she said, "And for that name which is no part of thee, take all myself" I couldn't contain myself any longer. I jumped out of the bushes and showed myself. At first she was shocked. She even told me to go away, and to go to bed, but I stayed because my love was ever so strong.
She wasn't scared for her safety. She was scared for my safety. That proves it. She really does love me, and I love her back. She said, "If they do see thee, they will murder thee". I replied trying to be as romantic as possible saying, "I have nights cloak to hide me from their sight, and but thou love me, let them find me here". Those words were a key to another kiss and as certain as the sun rising in the east, it was. O, Cupids wings really did flutter that night. Pinch me for I believe it was a dream, but the kisses were too real for it to be one. It's a shame the nurse had to call her inside again. Maybe it was for the best because just before she left she told me that she wanted to marry me. O, beautiful love, could you not get any better. "Thy propose marriage" she said. I will. Definitely. I think my heart would burst like a bubble if I don't.
That reminds me, I got to pay a call on Friar Laurence today, for if I don't I will never see Juliet again. With just the sound of her name I hear wedding bells ringing. I better get going. I need to arrange a wedding in secret and make sure no one finds out, not even my father. He can't find out about the wedding or Juliet. No one can.
Good-Morrow

Cold Blood.
Me, I’m normal. My boyfriend, not so normal. God! I wish I could just start a story like Hi I’m Beth and my boyfriend’s perfect. But he’s not, far from it. Me too I guess, who would go out with a monster? But it’s okay being different ,It not every day you go up to someone and go ‘ hey I’m dating a vampire and I’m loving it’ it’s more like ‘ hi this is my boyfriend’ then what? Awkward silence, walk away, yea that’s about it. But you got to love the kissing, his cold lips touch mine, a warm sensation is sent down my spine. But I’ve got to kill him, after what he’s done… he just did, he’s dangerous for me and for everyone.
I felt the tear trickling down my cheek. My eyes are probably bloodshot but I don’t care. Stacey get mad at me for to stupidest things. It’s like I’m an ant or a spider. She can, live with me but when I come out into the open, BAM, she attacks! Guess I just have to stay in my hole. The cold, the dark. Its boring, tiring. But when I did go out I would normally expect the normal. BAM, she attacks! But this time no… she was crying. Stacey crying? Something must be bad, and I mean really bad! I rise up all my courage, stick my chest out, pull my stomach in. Inhale, exhale. ‘what’s wrong?’ I quickly regret that. What’s wrong with me? I should’ve said something more sympathetic, I was on the cusp of leaving when she screamed ‘it’s your fault, it’s your fault he broke up with me!’ what was she talking about? ‘He fancies you so he left me!’
I’m a bubbly person. Well most of the time, when I’m myself which today I’m not. Knowing someone likes me scares me. It not only puts the person who likes me in danger but anyone close to him. It is my fault, I should’ve just stayed in my hole. But it’s hard. It’s hard when your boyfriends a bat. Why? Because bats can’t fit in small holes. ‘Beth, do you know where Todd and Stacey are?’ shoot, I zoned out, I need to think of an answer…. Where are Todd and Stacey? ‘BETH! I’m talking to you!’ she said impatiently ‘no miss I don’t… sorry.’ The class did one of those annoying ooo he’s cheating on you, and a few wolf whistles. But just as I was about to storm out he walked in looking perfect a per usual. But maybe the slightest bit too perfect, it was like he was trying so hard to act normal because he was hiding something. Never mind that. Where’s Stacey, she never misses school when she mad at me, she always takes the opportunity to pounce, and she couldn’t have forgiven me yet. I remember back in primary my Barbie was better than hers. She held onto that grudge for 2 months. Then I gave her the Barbie and she forgave me. I noticed that Chris wasn’t in class either. Where could he be? Why should I be caring? Wait is that blood on Todd’s tooth. Ewww. It paints. It has to be paint. He wouldn’t have. He couldn’t have. He…did. That’s it! Stacey was dead and Chris has gone to look for her! Wait Stacey is dead… Stacey is dead… it hit me. All I could think of was revenge.
It was dark. I only had the faint street lamps to guide me. I could hear footstep behind me getting faster. I dared turn around. Nothing. I continued walking. I could feel the weight of the knife on my belt and the cold of the blade on my leg. ‘what’s the knife for?’ oh god. It’s him. The monster. My boyfriend. I spun round only to see him drenched in thick crimson blood. ‘I know you know what I did.. I won’t hurt you how could he say that?! He just killed my best friend! And he just expects to walk up me and expect me to forgive him. I leaned towards him to kiss him, it filled me with disgust know I’m kissing a killer. But he was kissing one too. The blood dripped down my arm. The blade snapped when I removed it from his toned chest. he dropped down to the floor and said just as his eyes were closing ‘I love you Beth Cooper’ That was it he was dead.
2 weeks ago I thought I was an ant or a spider. I realised I was a caterpillar and I had just turned into a butterfly. More like a moth. I now have a craving for blood. Nice sweet blood. Yum, she smells good or maybe him. Oh well I have the whole school to choose from.

Excuses
A boy yelled from the front row of the classroom
"Hey isn't that a song?"
"SILENCE!" I yawped over the children in my classroom.
Now back to the story, I felt like there was not much time left in my life, so I decided, I needed to do something, something adventurous, something crazy.
This is my story.
"CHARLES ALEXANDER DARWIN! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING?" screeched the foul beast
"I'm just going to, uh... take out the trash?" I hesitated
"YOU HAVE SCHOOL IN 1 HOUR GET YOUR THINGS READY NOW"
"Sorry mum. But I have a duty to fill" I sprinted away and disappeared into the trees, I was around 100 metres away but I could still hear the roar of the maniac.
They all joined up together and formed a colossal monster with a weapon made of the bones of the dead and charged. I stopped prancing and ran, ran like the wind. I mean really. I was the wind I went off my feet and started running like a maniac. Thank god that the undead were dumb or else I would of never gotten out. They didn't bother to bend down through the gate, so they could not get through. The gate was breaking so I had limited time to get the hell out of there.
Everyone in the classroom laughed.
"That's your excuse of being late to class?" questioned my Teacher
"What do you mean excuse it's the truth!" I replied with rage.
"You expect me to believe that you were fighting hordes of undead creatures?" she said
"Yes." I quickly replied.
"Go to principal office right now!"
"BUT IM..." I was interrupted by the sound of crashing. The colossal menace must of caught my scent and followed me back to school I thought. Everyone screamed at the beast, I couldn't do anything but just say to everyone.
" I told you so."
