How is it that I always hear the latest news only from the servants? How lazy and more idle can I get? I need to hear news from myself, with my very own ears. I was given two of them so might as well make the best out of them. So, I heard that the Nurse disapproved of Romeo and that Juliet was kind of upset. Personally, I of course agree with the Nurse, but obviously Juliet did not mind any of the Nurse's opinions. I guess that is what love is. Juliet has never been a girl of love until she met Romeo, but I guess that she is now. Romeo is a question mark, a curiosity that looms over my head when it comes to Juliet. Out of all the chances in the world, how did the children of two feuding families fall in love? Fate? I do not know.
I was walking down the streets of Verona and I just happened to walk by Friar Lawrence's place. For some odd reason, I had feelings that something was going on. I heard voices inside and it seemed to be of Juliet's and somebody else's, but I knew that I must've been crazy for thinking of an idea of such peculiarity. I was with the servants and they were talking about Juliet and her future marriage with Paris. They were chit chatting a storm and all these rumors that I had never even thought about dreaming. I heard them talk about how the Nurse and Mercutio were flirting and I was actually not surprised to hear that since they could actually make something of themselves together.
I now think that this rumor of a love between Romeo and Juliet may be more than just a gossip. I overheard the Nurse talking to Juliet about this forbidden love. How can this be? I told her not to fall for him. I do not know if she understands my logic. Romeo was once in love for Rosaline and after a lucky encounter at the party, Romeo suddenly thinks Juliet will marry him. If that is so, I can only imagine how my uncle, Lord Capulet will react. I heard from a servant that he had threatened Juliet to dishonor her as his daughter if he did not marry Paris. Juliet must have been devastated. She is stuck between pride and love. What can I do? I sincerely do not approve of Romeo, but I will have to let my pride go if that is the person she truly loves.
