Sitting on the back row listening to a tune
Heard about the new girl who’d transferred to our school
They said she’d be cheering as soon as Friday night
The classroom door popped open filled up with all her light
She walked right past the teacher cute as she could be
Then she dropped her backpack in the seat right next to me
Teacher said read Chapter 6 in your Anthologies
It was all about young lovers and their warring families
Then those cartoon light bulbs went off in my head
I knew within an instant She was my Juliette
