THIRD PERSON'S POINT OF VIEW

Travis, Juliet and Romeo, along with the other students went to the Science room. Travis and Juliet sat down together as Romeo sat down on the same row with them and on a different seat.

"Good morning M'lady." Travis greeted Juliet as he looked up at her.

"Good morning Mister." Juliet chuckled.

"Oh before I forget, here's your diary. I think it slipped into my bag when I was helping you bring your things yesterday." Travis said as he grabbed the diary from his bag.

"I knew I forgot something. But thank you Travis, it's very nice of you." Juliet said as she received her diary from Travis then puts it back in her bag.

"Wait, did you read on what is inside?" Juliet nervously asked.

"Inside what?" Travis nervously asked as he scratches his head.

"The diary." Juliet replied as she glared at him.

Travis got nervous on what he is going to reply Juliet as he looked over Romeo, he didn't know what to do so he looked at the opposite side. Luckily their teacher saved the silence between them as she arrived in the room.

"Good morning everyone, please do settle down as we are now gonna begin our class." The teacher said as all of us paid attention to her.

Travis let out a sigh of relief that he doesn't need to reply to Juliet.

"Alright so today, I'm gonna discuss about the Science project that you will be working on along with your partner." The teacher said as she put down her books on the desk.

"So the project that you will do is gonna be an invention or something that will make a benefit for the future." The teacher said then the rest of the students gasped as they all look at each other because of excitement.

"It can be anything that you and your partner agree with, as long as it will benefit the future. I will give you all until next week Thursday to discuss with your partner and then on Friday next week all of you will discuss to the class your projects. You must include why you made this, what did you made out of it and how will this benefit in the future use." The teacher said as she walked around the classroom.

"Yes Ms. Stock." All of the students replied with excitement on their faces.

"Alright, I will dismiss all of you right now so that all of you could discuss with your partner." The teacher said then some of the students immediately stood up while grabbing their things.

"Hey Romeo, who will be your partner?" Travis asked as Romeo almost leave the room.

"Lauren. I already asked her to be my partner this morning before class started." Romeo replied as he walked back towards Travis and Juliet.

"Oh, I don't think I've introduced to you my partner." Travis said as he looked at Juliet.

"Romeo, this is Juliet. Juliet, this is my friend, Romeo." Travis introduced the both of them as Juliet smiled then reached her hand.

"I-It's a pleasure to m-meet you, Romeo." Juliet said as she stared at Romeo.

"Likewise, Juliet." Romeo replied as he reached his hand and the both of them shaked their hands then released afterwards.

"Oh by the way, I gotta go and leave you two-" Romeo teased them then Travis gave Romeo a sign to stop teasing.

"Leave you two discussing your project, obviously." Romeo said as he did an awkward laugh then left immediately.

"So, that's your friend, Romeo?" Juliet asked as she stared at the door where Romeo left.

"Yes, he is." Romeo replied as he looked back at Juliet.

"Let's start discussing the project." Travis said as Juliet looked at him.

"Sure." Juliet said as she smiled.

"So, I have an idea that we will do a spells thing just like the Gods and Goddesses in the past centuries." Juliet said as Travis frowned at her.

"I haven't thought of that but how is that possible? Like spells don't exist on this planet earth." Travis said as he crossed his arms.

"Don't worry, I am a master of these. Besides I have a book about it and it contains the ingredients and such more, then we will present it infront of class." Juliet replied.

"I somehow think it is a great idea but how is it exactly gonna benefit the future, Juliet?" Travis asked in confusion.

"Well it can benefit the future by making the planet a peaceful place. I know for sure that one day this planet we are staying will not be this peace forever." Juliet explained.

"I still don't get it why are we making some kind of spell, but I have trust in you so let's do it." Travis sighed as he smiled.

"Great! So, is it alright for you to come to my house tomorrow for the book? I remember it was in my grandmother's closet but I'm not sure it is there." Juliet replied as she fixed her things then stood up along with Travis.

"No problem, I will be there." Travis said as he smiled.

"Alright so it's settled." Juliet said.

"It is." Travis replied then they both smiled and decided to leave the room.

JULIET'S POINT OF VIEW

Travis and I are finally done discussing, I know my idea is crazy as it seems but I know this will be in a good use for the upcoming future.

But I can't still get rid of Romeo out of my mind. I knew from that moment that he is the same guy I met in the library years ago, and who would ever know that we would cross paths again. The way we shaked each others' hands awhile ago made me have butterflies in my stomach. At the same time, I did thought that Travis is sweet and all but I don't know, Romeo just hits different especially when I like him ever since.

So, I had no choice but to find him since I have nothing to do at this time. As I walked around the campus, I finally saw him playing the guitar and singing the song "You're my sunshine". Everytime I listen or hear to that song, it reminds me of a stranger playing the guitar of that song in the same day I met Romeo in the library.

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine." Romeo sang as he plays the guitar.

"You make me happy, when skies are gray." Romeo continued singing as he looked up at the sky.

Romeo and Juliet. I've always thought about that ever since the day I met Romeo for the very first time.

Flashback to 7 years ago

It was when we were in third grade, that time I went to the library and find some books to read. When I asked the librarian something, he had no idea about the book I was finding.

Until I looked around my surroundings and there I saw Romeo, holding the book I wanted to read. I immediately walked up to him and asked if I could borrow the book after him.

"Oh don't worry, you can read the book first." Romeo said as he give me the book.

"No please, you had it first so you must read it first." I chuckled as I give him back the book.

"I insist, please have it." Romeo said.

Afterwards, I thought of an idea.

"What about we will read it together?" I asked him then he nodded.

"Good idea." He chuckled.

As the both of us started reading the first page, someone unexpectedly ruined our first moment together.

"Romeo? Come on, let's go home. Mom's waiting for us." says the girl who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Oh yes, I will be there, Mom." Romeo replied then he looked at me.

"I guess you will be the one who will read it first after all." He chuckled as he stood up.

"Yeah." I chuckled as well as he grabbed his things.

"It was nice meeting you, Romeo." I said then we smiled.

"Likewise." He said then he started walking out the library.

"I'm Juliet, by the way." I mumbled as I sighed and he left the library.

After that moment, I began thinking that I would've not see him again.

Present

As far as I can remember that was the first and last time I ever saw him in so many years. But now, he is a grown-up, still like the prince of my dreams. Afterwards, he stopped playing his guitar as Travis arrived. Because I was freaking out, I immediately left with no hesitation.
