William Shakespeare was the first one to write story plot of star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet?

False.

The story of Romeo and Juliet, the star-crossed lovers from Verona, can be traced back to classical myths of Pyramus and Thisbe. There are multiple literary versions that predate Shakespeare, like in Arthur Brooke's 1562 poem "The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet."
