They're well aware of this; after all the school is putting on ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' and of course Juliette is named after its lead. The show plays with this trope to a certain degree; the girls figure out what the other is like and that a relationship would be almost impossible before they become a couple, yet they still fall for each other anyway.
