Heavy breathing---
Gasp.
The wide-eyed boy
slowly walked towards the girl
with curly brown hair
tied with a pink satin ribbon.
His small body froze as he looked
at her glassy green eyes.
“H-hello, I-I...I…”
Stroking a smile she replied,
“Yes, what is it?”
“Uh...m-my…”
“Uh-huh?”
She gestured him to keep going.
“Um...uh…m-my...name...”
His eyes geared
at the shining yellow spotlight
shining above him.
Yet thousands of onlookers waited
for his response.
The man with the clipboard
cupped his hands together
and whispered from backstage,
“My name is Romeo Montague.”
