Romeo and Juliet

Emily sometimes marveled at how the four of them could be so close, because when she was in high school she had never had friends, both boys and girls, who were so close.

If it was Ann who was there, she might be surprised how Emily could share a room with a boy and a girl. Ann was good at everything and got good grades, but she was too timid, even a little bit cowardly, and she didn't dare to go to the big city and face the new world. But Emily has no choice, she has to escape, only escape she has a chance to breathe.

"Is this the home of a rich kid?Martin, your home is so big." Emily weaved her way through a three-story villa, her first time in such a big house.

"This is the house closest to the University of A in my family, so mom and dad let me live here." Martin replied.

Martin then led the trio to a room with seats and a big screen like a movie theater.

Emily took off her shoes and stepped onto the fluffy plush carpet and walked into such a small movie theater, she sat down in a comfortable chair like a massage chair, Martin turned off the lights and the movie started, Hans handed her and Sarah popcorn and coke, for a moment Emily really felt like she was inside a movie theater.

In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the picture is even a little eerie. It was as if in his movie, Romeo and Juliet was not a love story at all, but a classic struggle against the times.

Emily suddenly thought of something, in the dark, she turned her head to look at Martin beside her, his father is the boss of a listed company, his mother was born into a family of high-ranking officials, from the generation of the grandfather, Martin's family has been the A city on the rich and powerful family, even if she earns a lifetime of money can not catch up with the first generation of his family.

Emily said into his ear, "This is a tragedy of the times before it's considered a love story."

Martin heard her and smiled, "Then maybe this is the best place for them to end up. If it were me, I wouldn't let that happen."

Emily's heart trembled as she heard this, yes, Martin was the young master, something like this would most likely happen to him.

After watching the movie, all four of them were in a somewhat heavy mood, as if they were all immersed in the story of Romeo and Juliet in the movie. They walked into the living room and sat around the table.

"Martin, did your parents say anything about your criteria for finding a girlfriend?" Hans suddenly asked Martin, as if to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Ahem ... I haven't talked about it, and my parents haven't told me about it either." Martin choked on his coke.

"Then it should emphasize a door-to-door relationship as well, right?" Sarah asked.

"I haven't thought too much about family status, I think the most important thing in a relationship is whether the two people genuinely like each other."

Martin and most young people think the same, in the young age, love is love, there are so many things to consider.Emily looked at the hands of the Coke thoughtfully, she and Martin think different.Emily's parents for the sake of money has turned against each other, if not for Emily's high school entrance exams they would have divorced.In her ordinary or even lower-middle-class family, she is the most important thing to consider. Inside an ordinary or even lower middle class family like hers money was the most important thing, money was the foundation of everything, without money let alone talk about love.

"Yes, I think so, love someone just love them." Sarah touches Martin's glass with her own.

Hans suddenly thought of something, he said to Martin, "We came to your house, don't you need to treat us with good champagne?"

Martin smiles breathlessly, "I expected you to say that, I had it ready." Martin walked over to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of champagne from it.

The four talked a lot that night.

They talked about the high schools of the four, Hans and Martin were the gifted players, in their high school, they even had time to play basketball to visit various science and technology halls and museums, and then easily got into A college.Sarah was the outstanding kid, her parents were teachers and demanded a lot from her since she was a child, and she was especially competitive and always ranked in the top of the class.Emily was counted as the hardest working among the four. Emily is considered the hardest working of the four, her high school is to stay up all night to brush up the problem, get up early to memorize, even lunch break she dared to rest for only half an hour, and finally or long play, only to be admitted to the University of A. They also talk about horoscopes, to see who will be the best.

They talked again about horoscopes, about whose books to read, whose movies to watch, whose songs to listen to, favorite cities, favorite places to go ...

Emily stopped talking to them, she felt as if she had entered a world that didn't belong to her, a world where everything she longed for was readily available, she looked up at the ornately decorated lamps, the lights were far away and coming in, brightly shining, blinding her, shaking her, making her dizzy ...

"Emily, Emily!"

"She's not drunk, is she?"

Emily was dizzy and collapsed into Sarah's arms.

"It's over, I was just so busy talking, Emily must have been drinking champagne the whole time." Sarah said.

"She can't really hold her liquor, should she be okay?" Hans was a little butthurt.

"It's fine, let her lie down for a while first, I've already asked the nanny to cook a sobering soup, so I'll give her some when she wakes up." Saying that, Martin reached out to carry Emily to the sofa.

Emily opened her eyes all of a sudden, she pushed Martin's hand away, her face still had a cloud of redness on it, she stood up and said, "I'm fine, I'm not drunk ...."

The other three were stunned and all three of them stood up, afraid she would do something unexpected.

Emily lurched over to the window and the three were terrified and ran to the window as well, surrounding her.

"No, what is she going to do?" Hans smirked, the first time he'd ever seen someone play drunk.

"Why don't we carry her away?" Sarah said.

Emily pushed Sarah's hand away again and she shouted, "Listen to me you guys!"

Hans immediately took out his cell phone, wanting to record Emily like this and show it to her when she woke up.

"I, Emily, will be richer than Martin in the future! I don't care about your young master!" Emily pointed at Martin's face and said, "Do you hear me?" After saying that, she finally fainted again and collapsed in Martin's arms, Martin and Sarah both sighed in relief.

Hans said excitedly from the sidelines, "YES! It's recorded, we'll have something on her from now on, hahahahaha ..."

The three sat down wondering why Emily would say something like that.

"Must have been Martin hitting her too hard, with the movie and such a big house." Hans said.

"Really? Should I lay low from now on then?" Martin asked sincerely.

"Possibly, since Emily is from a small town, she might have some low self-esteem." Sarah chimed in.

"Then we should just consider her more in the future."

All three agreed. Youthful friendships were so pure and beautiful, there was no need to think about money or anything worldly, as long as everyone was having fun together.

Time came to a new week.

"Huh? Did I really say that?!" Emily let out a shrill popping sound in her dorm room.

Sarah pulled out the video Hans had recorded and showed it to her, "Here, watch it for you."

"So humiliating! So humiliating! How am I going to meet people in the future! I'm going to avoid both of them from now on ..." Emily transformed into a schoolboy lying on the bed and rolling around.

"Then drink less in the future. Well don't throw yourself on the bed, you have English Classics this afternoon." Sarah reassured her with a leathery smile.

"It's so embarrassing ..." No matter how much Emily resisted, Sarah joined forces with Rue and Isabella to drag her out of the dormitory.

Emily hated to dig in and escape the earth as she sat beside Martin on pins and needles.

Hans could see her embarrassment and bitchily told her, "It's okay Emily, who hasn't been drunk before?" Emily blushed even more, she hated that she was in class now, she hated that she had to hit Hans.

Martin stopped Hans, he didn't want to embarrass Emily, Sarah chimed in and told Hans to stop, which he did.
