Good Essays

It was a fine night for a party but Juliet was quite unaffected by the merry mood. It seemed that her father had thrown the party just to find her a proper suitor. All hell had broken loose since he had discovered her being intimate with one of her lady attendants and he was quite determined to have her married off before word of Juliet 's true preference could get around. Juliet was being dragged around the party for each young man there to try and impress but she was far from impressed and the longer the night went on the more sure she was that ladies were the superior of the two sexes. Such beauty they possessed and so effortlessly. She found her eyes wandering and landing on a group of loud young men who had apparently just arrived. Romeo caught her eye first, he had no business being there with the families feuding as they were but he had come a brought a rowdy bunch with him. But in his group was a quiet more delicate looking man that Juliet could have sworn she had seen before. She was drawn to him and could not look away. Eventually he noticed her staring and after looking over his shoulder to see if he was mistaking her glance he made eye contact and didn 't back down.Juliet smiled and he smiled back and in that moment Juliet decided she must dance with him. She walked briskly to her nurse 's side. "Who is the young man just to the left behind Romeo?" she asked. The nurse squinted, "You know my eyes are gone, dearest, if you wish to know his name then go ask him.
