Chapter 1: Transferred
Soccer Field
Duke was already on the field, kicking the soccer ball around, thinking. It was the only place on the whole campus where he could think without getting distracted. He loved it out here, the smell of the grass, the sound of the ball rolling over the grass. The feel of his shoes going into the ground, the sound the ball makes when it hits the net, the sound of his foot kicking the ball. It was so quiet and peaceful he had a hard time understanding how anyone could hate the game of soccer. When you played soccer it was just you, the soccer ball, and the net. Nothing else mattered to him while he was out here, nothing and no one could touch him; he loved it. Maybe that's why he couldn't get Viola off of his mind; she shared the same passion for soccer as he did.
When he thought she was guy and he was teaching her how to play he would always find her here; on the soccer field just kicking the ball around without a care in the world. She was good when she first tried out for the team but with his help she became on of the best, but now she was no longer here. She had to go back to Cornwell, because that's where she went to school. He heard from her brother, his roommate that the Cornwell boy's soccer team let her play for them. All because of what happened a week ago when she scored the winning goal against them.
Duke sat down on the ground with the soccer ball by his side, he couldn't believe that he found someone that loved soccer as much as he did and in a matter of a week she was gone. He placed his head in his hand and sighed. They had went to that ball together but she had went back to school and no way would he be caught dating someone from Cornwell, it would be social suicide. He heard footsteps behind him and when he turned around he saw his roommate Sebastian standing there.
"I never thought I'd see you on a soccer field again," Duke said jokingly.
"Neither did I man," Sebastian said as he took a seat next to Duke. "You know she asked me about you," he said he noticed that he got a reaction from Duke. "She gave me something to give you…I left it back in our room," he said as he stood up and started to walk away. "I'm going to see Olivia so I don't know when I'll be back, you should really go see what she gave you," he said before he walked off into the night.
Duke continued to sit there and stair off into space into he was hit with a reality check. The girl of your dreams is trying to tell you that she still wants you, now go see what she gave you, you idiot. A little voice, which sounded like his coach, told him. Duke got to his feet and ran toward him dorm room as fast as he feet would carry him. It was like people knew what was happening because they just got out of his way. When he got to his dorm he stopped before he opened the door, he just looked straight ahead, without moving. His head went slowly to the doorknob and he opened the door.
When the door was fully opened before him he saw Viola standing there in her red soccer uniform and she was also dressed like her brother again. "What took you so long?" she asked as she looked down at herself and then back up at him.
"Why are you dressed like that?" Duke asked as he closed the door behind him and walked toward her.
"You said you missed your roommate," she said with a smile as she started to peal off the sideburns and the wig. "I didn't want you to be disappointed when you saw me standing her like a girl," she said with a smirk.
"I like you better as a girl," Duke said as he walked over to her and cupped her face with his hands. "Because this would just be too weird if you where dressed as your brother," he said as he brought his lips to hers. When he pulled away he still held onto her. "Now what are you doing here?" he asked her.
"My mom called Headmaster Gold and transferred my files. I am officially an Illyria student. And to top it all off my roommate is Olivia, so Sebastian is staying there tonight, so I kinda need a place to stay," she said as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "What you say Duke, you want your roommate back?" she asked as she brought her lips to his.
"You bet," he said as he lifted her up. "Welcome to Illyria," he said with a smile as they fell onto the bed. They didn't do nothing but talk that night and the fell asleep in each others arms. This was all either one of them wanted and together they were unstoppable, but separate they were simply great.
Dorm room (next morning)
Viola was awake first so she was the one that heard a knock on the door. She didn't know who it was and she knew that Headmaster Gold forbidded sexual relations, so she went and hid in the closet. KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK. Duck woke up to the sound of the knocking on the door and to any empty bed. He looked around for Olivia but found no one. He walked over to the door and opened it to reveal Headmaster Gold.
"What can I do for you sir?" Duke asked as he moved out of the way for Gold could come in. He walked over and sat in his computer chair. "Are you looking for Sebastian?" he asked.
"Actually I am," he said as he looked at Sebastian's bed and saw that it hadn't been slept in. "Where is he, I have some excellent news," he said.
"I don't know, maybe out with Olivia. If you want to tell me the news I'll make sure to pass it on to him," Duke suggested. He just wanted to get Gold out of his room so he could go looking for Viola.
"No it's okay, just tell him I want to see him in my office," Gold said and then he walked over to the door. Gold turned and looked at Duke and smiled. "Good game against Cornwell son," he said and the walked out of Duke's room.
Duke sat in his chair for a few minutes before he went over to his closet to get something to wear. When he opened the door he saw Viola sitting on the floor, when he saw her he almost fell. "Jesus, you scared the crap outta me," he said taking a step backwards.
"Is he gone?" she asked.
"Y…yeah," Duke said grabbing a shirt and the stepping outta the way so Olivia could get out of the closet. "Why are you hiding in there?" he asked confused on why she would choose the closet to his in.
"Because that guy craps me out," she said as she stood up straight. "I gotta go, I have to met my mom in an hour so she can bring the rest of my stuff to Olivia's room.
"Okay," Duke said and he grabbed a towel and his close and got ready to go and take a shower. Olivia opened the door when he said her name. "Hey Viola," she turned around with a smile on her face. "Soccer tryouts start at noon," she said with a smile.
"I'll be there," she said as she walked out of his room with a smile on her face. Duke was left alone in his room and he looked down at his bed and smiled. Just as he was about to go grab a shower his door opened and in walked Andrew and Toby. They walked over to him and slapped him on the back.
"Congrats man," Andrew said.
"Huh?" Duke asked confused. "What are you guys talking about?" he asked.
"I just saw Viola walking down the hall." Toby said. "Word is that she just transferred her," he added. "Looks like you finally found the one for you," Toby added with a smile.
"Yeah." Andrew added.
"But the bad news is that after this year we are both going to different schools and we'll probably never see each other again." Duke said as he walked out of his dorm room leaving his friends behind. He hadn't thought about the whole college situation before but now it was finally dawning on him. No matter what happens between him and Viola this year, the truth is that they will go to different colleges and never see one another again.
Viola's dorm room
Headmaster Gold as a weird guy, there was no doubt about it but when he personally came to hers and Olivia's room to give is congratulations about coming to Illyria, Viola had to remind him that they already did this. In fact the one he should be giving is condolences to is Sebastian. But he wasn't listening to a word she was saying, instead he kept going on and on about how great Illyria was and she just ignored him.
Instead she started to think about soccer, and being able to play without having to pretend she was her brother, it was going to be great and she knew. Not to mention she was going to be able to play with Duke, her boyfriend. She didn't have to hide from him anymore, which meant he wouldn't pull away every time she touched him, wow she couldn't wait to start practice.
That's when she looked over at the clock and saw what time it was, it was eleven forty five. She had fifteen minutes to get to the field for practice. "Headmaster Gold?" she said interrupting him.
"Yes Viola," he said.
"I'm sorry that I have to cut out meeting short but I have to get down to the soccer field, that is if I still want a spot on the team," she said as she stood up and opened the door for him. "Now if you don't mind I have to change unless I play in jeans, which isn't very comfortable," she said with a smile. "How about this, I'll come by your office after practice and we can continue this talk," she said with a smirk.
"Okay," he said with a cherry smile that made Viola want to throw up. "I'll see you later then." He said closing the door behind him.
Viola panicked as she looked around the room for her clothes. Just as she was about to practice in her jeans a knock came at her door and she knew it was Gold. "As much as I would love to talk I'm already late and I can't find my clothes," she said as she opened the door and to her surprise Duke stood before her holding up a her jersey and short. "Oh yeah," she said as she remember that she had gone to his room last night with her soccer stuff on. "I love you right now," she said as she closed the door. She quickly changed and then her and Duke walked over to the soccer field together.
Soccer field
Duke and Viola came running up to the soccer field and saw that everyone was there already. Duke looked down at his watch and saw that they still had ten five minutes so they weren't late. But whoever he was wondering why everyone was standing around. Duke and Viola made there way up to the front of the group where they saw a sign that said there will be no practice today, instead it had a sign for the new team listening.
Captain(s): Duke Orsino and Viola Hastings
"Yes!" Viola said jumping up and down; this is something that she always wanted. This proves that girls are just as good as boys. "Duke aren't you excited?" she asked wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him.
"Yeah, I'm really excited," he said but she knew he didn't mean it. "Congrats Viola," he said as he walked away.
"What's wrong with him?" she asked as she walked over to where Andrew and Toby where standing.
"Duke's been captain for three years," Andrew said.
"So?" Viola asked confused.
"He's never shared the spot with anyone," Toby added.
"I still don't understand," Viola said.
"It's a guy thing," Andrew and Toby said together. "No one else has ever been good enough to stand by him in the captain spot. And now you, his own girlfriend…" Toby let the sentence stop.
"But he's the one that taught me everything I know," she said. "He's the one that made me this good," she added.
"We know but still," they said. "Just don't say anything about it." Toby added. "See you at Casereo's tonight?" Toby asked.
"Yeah sure," Viola said as she watched the walk away. She stood on the soccer field all by herself. She didn't know what to think, Duke was upset because she was co-captain with him. She thought it would make him proud since he's the one that helped her train so she would in fact be good enough to be co-captain. "Why it go Vi," she said to herself as she kicked on of the soccer balls that was lying on the ground and she walked back to her dorm with her head hung.
