"Alright, so we're reading Romeo and Juliet, one of the most popular love stories in the world. You probably know most of it." Nikolai said, turning to look at Nat.

'Well, two people fall in love at Juliet's father won't let them... marry?' Nat asked, taking a guess at the last part.

"Close." Nik said with a smile. "The two families hate each other so much that they won't even let them be friends with each other. Now obviously Romeo and Juliet fall in love, which causes a little bit of chaos in the two families, and by that I mean 5 people die." Nik tried to remember more and muttered. "Geez, how are they allowed to teach this?!"
-
Nat raised her eyebrows. 'Of course 5 people die,' she muttered.
-
"Oh it gets worse when you find out who dies." Nik promised.
-
Nat sighed. 'They both die, don't they.'
-
Nikolai nodded. "Yeah, they kill themselves." He said quietly.
-
'Why?!'

"Um, well Romeo gets exiled because he killed someone, and Juliet is forced to marry someone else. She tries to send Romeo a letter saying she would pretend to kill herself and escape, but it doesn't send to him. He finds her 'dead' and uses his knife to stab himself. Juliet wakes up to find her love dead and poisons herself. Happily ever after."

'Shakespear must have had some problems,' Nat said.
-
Nikolai nodded. "Oh definitely. He was a theater kid."
-
'Makes sense.'
