Mercutio

Whatevz. I’m just trying 2 get him 2 show up. I’m tired n-e-way. Let’s go.

Benvolio

Fine. No point in trying to find him if he doesn’t want to be found.

[Scene 2]

Romeo has checked into the Grounds Below Juliet’s Balcony.

Voice Memo from Romeo

ROMEO

SMH. Sometimes my BFFs are so annoying. I just need to get away and have some alone time. Wait—what is that? Holy crap. It’s Juliet! She’s so beautiful. She’s brighter than the . She’s more gorgeous than the stars in the sky. I want her so badly. I wish she knew how much. If only I could just reach out and touch her. It sounds like she’s reading something….

Voice Memo from Juliet

JULIET

romeo. romeo. ugh, why does he have to be a montague? i wish he’d just change his name. or if he said he’ll me forever, then i’d give up my last name. c-ya, capulet! what’s the point of names anyway? srsly. you could call a a different name, and it would still just as sweet. grr. stop being a montague and we can be together, romeo! that’s better than anything else.

Voice Memo from Romeo

ROMEO

I totally get what she’s saying. I just need to know that I’m her one true . Then I’ll drop Montague like a bad habit.

Juliet

wait, romeo, is that you? have you been to me this whole time?

Romeo

Maaaybe.

I want to show my face, but I know I shouldn’t. Because I’m a Montague.

Juliet

no, keep texting. it’s easier this way. you’re too far down.

i don’t want my family to you yelling. they’ll be srsly upset.
