Her Name
Later that night Juliet sat at the dinner table with her family. She was barely eating. She was to busy thinking about what had happened over the past two days.
"Honey, are you alright? You have barely touched your food. I thought you liked bacon sandwiches." Her mom asked concerned.
"Yeah, I'm just not very hungry." Juliet mumbled. The table went quiet for a couple minutes before Julie spoke up. "Mom, why did you name me Juliet?" She asked.
Her mother raised an eyebrow. "I'm surprised your asking. When I was in college I was in a play, A Winter's Tale. I fell in love with it and began reading more by Shakespeare. I loved every piece. One of my favorites was Romeo and Juliet. The name stuck with me and that is why you're named Juliet." Ms. Hunter told her daughter.
"Oh... Thanks, Mom."
"Hey, is that why you named me William?" Juliet's older brother asked.
"Yes, Will, I named you after William Shakespeare. And I named Hermione after the Queen of Sicily in A Winter's Tale."
"And a Harry Potter character right, Mom?" Julie's younger sister stated.
"Well, kind of, but it was unintentional. Julie, why did you ask?" Ms. Hunter wondered.
"I don't know... I guess it's because we're reading Romeo and Juliet in English class and it's a little embarrassing."
Ms. Hunter gave her daughter a sympathetic look. "I'm sorry, sweetheart, but I'm sure it'll get better."
"Yeah, maybe..." Julie grumbled. The dinner table went quiet for a couple minutes with everyone eating. Will interrupted the silence.
"So word at school is you've got yourself a boyfriend, Julie." Will teased.
"What!?" Julie chocked on her drink. Hermione burst on laughing at her sister's reaction.
"William, what are you talking about?" Ms. Hunter asked confused.
"The entire school has been talking about it. Romeo Cameron asked you out in English. Even us Seniors heard about it. The whole school has gone crazy, especially the girls. And it's all because of you." Will started laughing.
"He's not my boyfriend!" Julie's face suddenly became a bright red shade.
"Oh my gosh! That's hilarious because you're Juliet and he's Romeo. Romeo and Juliet sitting in a tree!"
"Real mature, Mione."
"You love the attention, don't you?" Will teased.
"I hate you two." Juliet grumbled.
Family, it's a pain the the butt right? But you're stuck with them. But family is family and you got to love them.
