In the streets of Verona, the very place where the great Shakespeare set one of his most famous plays, four outsiders come from the land of the west. They’re American boys on a foreign exchange to tour, the very city they know nothing of. We lay our very stage upon there conver’ about the very story that spoke of haste, love, death, hate, and how the impossible was made, by the death of two rivals. We first show our main miscreants and their Romeo.

“THIS IS SO STUPID, WHAT THE FUAAACK”! screamed James as he smashed his fists on the patio table outside at the Mercutio’s Café. There were some tables and some chairs and a little garden like fence that sealed them into the café area.

“This has to be the stupidest place ever. I can’t even communicate with these people, even WITH the language book, I have absolutely no idea what these freaks are saying and to top it all off, we have some stupid project that involves some dumb ass play that took part at this place in the first place”!

The other three sat around covering their faces, from the stares of people watching as their friend James spazzed out before them. To the right of our frustrated James, was Ray Baltons, our Romeo in the making, To a lot of the staring girls, he was the cutest one, with his almost perfect face (except the scar on his left cheek). He had nice white teeth, a nice and well proportioned nose, nice short brown wavy locks of hair, and sparkling ocean blue eyes. All and all, a wonderful catch for any girl, but his choice in friends was a problem. The boys as all hid their faces from their friend’s embarrassing tantrum . Ray was biting his thumb from embarrassment. From the left of James, Tyson had his face buried in his bowl of tomato soup with his black sweater hood over his head to cover more of his face. He is Ray’s cousin and attended the same school. In front of our “quick to spaz out over some small things” James, we have Keith who was as red as Tyson’s tomato soup from the embarrassment he shoveled in his calamari so then he could have a excuse to get out of there.

They all were about to get up and leave him for the restaurant to deal with, when the manager came over to the table outside.

”Excuse my interruption, but I must ask you all to-” he then turned his head toward Ray’s direction. Ray looked up. “Do you dare bite your thumb at ME SIR?!”

Ray looked up in surprise and pulled his thumb out of his mouth,” No sir I had no intenti-“ Before he could finish, the manager’s face went bright red and a terrifying expression came over his face,

” GET OUT ALL OF YOU AND NEVER COME BACK, AND TAKE YOUR ANGRY FRIEND WITH YOU!” then he grabbed James by the shirt collar and pants leg and threw him over the fence.

“OK OK JESUS! We’ll go!” They all hopped over the fence to help their now scared and silent friend up from the pavement, and headed down the street. All of them we’re walking down the street that was named Rosaline rd. Poor James, his eyes we’re as big as the hub capes of a car rolling up beside them on the street. It was a cop car. A window cracked down, showing a fat faced man with a big bushy thing of a mustache and was wearing sunglasses. The officer looked down first and work his way up at the boys face leave and spoke in a weird Italian language. Ray moved forward a inch to speak with the police officer.
“We don’t understand, we from America, you know America”? The police man quickly lowered his glass and angrily shouted.

“YES I CAN UNDERSTAND ENGLISH! DO YOU TAKE ME FOR A FOOL YOU LITTLE PUNKS!”

Poor James looked like he may have pooped his pants after that little “cop tantrum”. Ray still looked, eye to eye with the officer.

“I’m sorry if I offended you. You see, we’re all transfer students from America, and we don’t know what’s going on, err what is said half the time, we were just about to head to the nurse’s motel just down the street”.

The cop poked his head out the window to check, and then turned to look at Ray, he seamed disgusted.

“I saw your little spat at the restaurant, and I don’t like when the piece of my town is disturbed, now you listen.”

He grabbed Ray’s shirt collar to bring his ear right to his mouth, he spat a little.

“We may have a mayor of this town, but I run the show, I’m the prince of the law around here and I got a eye on you all so watch it.”

The fat officer then shoved Ray away like a piece of garbage, luckily Keith caught him so then Ray wouldn’t fall. The officer then rolled the window up and drove away. Ray’s face went fierce with rage.

“If I had a gun, I’d pop his fat head right on the spot, but its to late now, we better get to the motel”.

Ray got his feet steadily planted and got out of Keith’s arms and they all started down the road.
