Chapter 2 Being the man...

I'm at lost or so I was until Paul came to my rescue. We came with a plan.

Step 1 Take a shower. Turns out no one is awake around 3am! Who knew?

Step 2 Cut hair. My hair was starting to burn and since I'm going to be my brother for a year might as well be comfortable.

Step 3 Stop being a loser. I had become the most unpopular guy in school it was time to show them who the real man was. Hypothetically speaking of course. So Kia and Yvonne are going to make me a very desirable man boy whichever.

Step 4 Get munchies. I have this really adorable fridge in my dorm. It's so cute! But it's all lonely so I decided to finally take a choice.

I know the plan was short but hey it worked! Kia and Yvonne made me the sexiest man in school. It all happen in Cesario's one moment was Kia declaring she missed me in her bed, and the next was Yvonne saying the top gun of Cornwell was gone without saying a "proper" goodbye. To top it off Monique (Sebastian's real girlfriend) showed up! Didn't recognize I was Viola! And finishing off my brilliant performance I dump her! It was about time! Really Sebastian was just carrying dead weight with Monique. Once I ask why all I got from his was "Cuz she's hot".

Now two weeks later I'm having the time of my life. I'm popular with really great standing, become besties with Duke Orsino my roommate. And school is finally around the corner.

First class is chemistry

"Hey guys!"

"What's up my man?!" Several replies, high fives, and punches occur at the same time. Ouch those punches will leave a bruise.

Here comes the teacher.

"Alright boys pick a name. That name would be your partner for the rest of the year."

"Eunice Bates" Dukes says. And for some odd reason Toby seems put out. Mmm weird.

"Olivia Lennox" oh boy wasn't that...speaking of her here she comes. Right when I say her name. She looks over and smiles. Gives me nod.

"Oh no do you know her?" Orsino asks.

"Not really just talked to her for a like a minute"

"Nah she gave you the nod man"
"And a good one too" Toby adds.

"Change me" duke implores.
"I can't! I already said her name aloud. And besides you got Eunice"

"Yes man she might have something" Toby looks at Eunice longingly.

"Yea braces and a head gear!" Andrew laughs.

As I make my way over I can't help but notice that she's really beautiful. Wait did I just think that? No no bad viola keep those thoughts in a very dark area and lock them!

"Hey"

"Hey, mmm just to be clear this whole dissecting thing sort of freaks me out so your gonna have to take the reins on this one"

"Wow most guys will never admit that"

"Oh damn yea your right"

"Hey don't worry it's nothing to be ashamed off. In some odd way it's refreshing" she smiles beautifully. Stop it Vi!

I smile. I couldn't help it. She's a great girl.

"You think so?"

"Hey no paper near the basin?!" When did this freak get here? Malcolm was it?

"Wait!"

"What's this? Poems?" Olivia takes the paper from Malcolm and starts to read it.
"Lyrics actually"

"This are really good. So honest"

"Thanks I keep telling him..me...myself" mmm awkward much?

" I write songs also Olivia." Malcolm exclaims.

"Really? That's great Malcolm." Not really paying attention to him. Ha loser! But she's rather staring at me with a new look. That I can't seem to decipher.

"I see you through your window, while I'm standing on the tree outside..." Stocker!

Gosh did I wanted to laugh but I hold it in. Barely.

Things were going more smoothly than I would have expected. I had Olivia for several classes! She was probably the one person that I could really be myself. I feel like I hadn't had the feeling for a long time. Maybe even before my parents got divorced. Not even with duke I had that deep connection and boy was he hot. I can't stop thinking about her. Her laughs. They way she smiles. Oh did I forget to mention her beauty is truly one of a kind. I couldn't help but have this sensation on my stomach on every touch or every time she blush at one of my silly comments. I'm no longer myself. I'm a fake. And impostor. I shouldn't be feeling this way. Tell me is this love I'm experiencing? It wasn't possible...I'm a girl for Pete's sake! But a boy is what she sees my mind replies. I have to get away from this monstrosity.

Now currently sitting with my head down in the darkest part of the library I'm trying to understand. Understand what you may ask? Not even I try to look for the answer for if I do I might give up into a reality that shouldn't exist.

"Sebastian? Are you alright?" No please go away. Can't you see it's your fault. Your existence is the reason I'm like this. My head tries to respond. Say something. Do something. Anything!

She kneels. Buries her hand into my hair. Massaging it. "Seb talk to me. What's wrong?" She's worried I can hear it in her voice.

"It's nothing. Just a virus." I finally replied.

"You've never been much of a liar"

I sigh. Anger rushes to my veins. "What do you want me to say Olivia?! It's your fault I'm like this! I can't think straight this past days for all I see is your face. Can't you see I'm sick..." I'm a girl Olivia! As much as I wanted to say it my mouth didn't respond to me.

She's frozen for a moment taking in my words. The same hand in my hair was now moving to my neck pulling me forward. Our breaths are the only thing in between. She smiles.
" Then forgive me as I forgive you Seb for I seem to have catch the same virus."
