Sorry it has taken a month for this new chapter, I went back to college so it's been hard to find time to write. Plus I had a bit of writers block.. but here we go.
FYI: Vio is supposed to be pronounced like Geo but with a "V". Romance languages pronounce the 'i' as 'ee' like in tree, anyway continue on
Chapter 4
Class ended and Viorel was walking out behind Olivia when he felt someone suddenly grab him from behind.
"Whoa" he looked up to see who was pulling him by his sweatshirt but, he was quickly plopped down on a chair.
"What the hell Duke!?" He shouted confused as to what Duke was doing
"You out, Out!" He snapped his fingers and scared a kid away that was sitting there
"What's your problem?"
"Did she anything about me?"
"What..who? Olivia?" He asked confused
"Yeah Olivia. Did she mention me at all?"
"Uh no.. Why?"
"Ugh, okay okay.." He thought for a moment "I have an idea. You want to make it to first string and I can help you with that"
"Really? By the Cornwall game?" He was getting excited but still confused at what this had to do with Olivia
"I'll make you a deal. I'll help train you if you can help me get a date with Olivia"
"Okay? How am I supposed to do that?" Viorel saw it odd that Duke need his help to get get a girl
"It's perfect you see. You can talk me up about how great I am and convince her to want to go out with me" Duke felt like it was flawless as soon as Olivia saw how great he was she wouldn't think twice to go out with him
"Why don't you just her show her?"
"Man you don't get it.." He look up and scratched his head frustrated "Do you want my help for first string or not?"
"Of course"
"So what do say? You'll help me?" Viorel thought for a second and got up and extended his hand saying "You got a deal"
Duke gabbed his hand and brought him in for quick hug and pat on the back "Your the man bro"
O-O-O
Ring ring ring
"Hey Sabrina" Viorel answered as he was getting ready to go to class
"Hey Vio mom wanted me to remind you to show up at the Junior league carnival next Saturday"
"Uh and why do I have to go I'm not the one in the junior debutante"
"I don't really like being in it, I do it for mom. Anyways since mom is part of the organization she wants us both there"
"Can't you just take Justin in my place" he hoped that, that would help get him out of it
"..." There was a silence and Vio looked at his phone to make sure the call wasn't cut off
"Sab…?"
"Vio.. I broke up with Justin" alleluia the heavens opened up. 'Finally' he thought he hated that jerk and she finally came to her senses but, he couldn't say that to Sabrina.
"Oh.. Um what happened?" And then he thought what if Justin did something bad to her
"What did he do" he asked now getting mad
"Don't get too mad, I simply realized what others have been telling me. He is a jerk, a sexist immature asshole to be exact" she said annoyed
"What did he do to make you realize that?" He responded more calmly
"Well the other day the girls team wanted to play a game against the boys soccer team but, they said no and instead belittled us. I tried to reason with Justin but he took his teammates side and joined in their jokes. I spoke to him later and he didn't think differently than then so I decided he wasn't worth my time if he acts so immaturely and think so lowly of women"
"When did this happen?"
"A week ago" she sighed "He won't stop calling me, and I spent this whole week avoiding him. Thank god for Kia and Yvonne they have helped me out so much and Paul"
"Well I'm glad, and I'll be there in case that ass decides to show up"
"Thank you, I'll let you go. I think classes start soon. Bye"
"See ya" he hung up and looked over to Duke who was on his laptop
"Looks like I'll be going to the carnival next Saturday"
"Oh yeah, my mom's part of the junior debutantes. So I gotta go too" Duke said as Viorel finished getting changed. He started to gather his stuff when Duke spoke again
"Who was that on the phone anyway?"
"Oh that was my twin sister, she was telling me that she finally broke of with that loser Justin"
"Oh, I didn't know you were a twin?"
"Yeah, well come on we're gonna be late" Duke grabbed his bag and they rushed out
O-O-O
Once in Biology they each went over to take a seat with their lab partners. As Viorel was chatting with Olivia, Malcolm came over with some flyers
"Hey Olivia, don't want you to worry but, Malvolio is missing"
"Oh no" she said trying to appear concerned
"Yeah, if you see him don't feed him, he has irritable bowl"
"Yeah because that would be my first instinct, to feed the tarantula" she couldn't help chuckle but, Malcolm was honestly becoming too much for even her lately. Viroel rolled his eyes as Malcolm waked away annoyed at how Olivia was acting. He looked over to Duke who was signaling Viorel to talk about him
"Anyways.." *he grunted clearing his throat* "here's a weird idea, have you ever thought about going out with Duke Orsino? I-I see that" he started pointing his pencil to Duke and Olivia.
She looked over to a smiling Duke and back to Viorel with a confused face wondering why he would suggest that "Duke?"
"yeah" he replied
"nno"
"yeah"
"no"
"yeah"
"NO!" she laughed "I mean he's good looking but, he's just not the guy for me"
"Hmm I don't know. I think there's more to him than you think"
"Really so you're telling me he's not some dumb jock looking to hook up with me so he can tell all his friends"
"but too insecure to treat you like his equal" he cut in
"Exactly" she looked at him surprised "ya know I think you're the first guy who hasn't tried anything with me" she laughed
"Don't worry, you're not my type" he continued laughing while Olivia stopped shocked for a second time
"Why not?"
"Well uh.." he was caught off guard he never really gave it much thought, especially because Duke liked her. "You know, we're friends. I never thought of you in that way, you're actually one of the few people I feel comfortable around"
"Me too" this moved something in Olivia maybe there is hope for Viorel to see her beyond a friend
O-O-O
The week went by quickly Duke trained Viorel almost everyday. On days he couldn't Vio continued training on his own or even after Duke would leave. As for Olivia, she and Vio were getting closer and every time he would mention of Duke she would quickly change the subject. Viorel's side of the deal was proving harder than expected.
'Shit I'm gonna be late' he thought to himself as he was rushing to class. He stayed up practicing last night and Duke tried waking him up this morning but to no avail. He walks into his science class and sees everyone's eyes on him.
"Nice for you to join us Mr. Hastings. Luckily this is your first tardy so I'll leave you with a warning. Go take your seat and I expected you not to make a habit of this" his teacher said and then turned around to continue the lesson. He looked over to Duke who only shook his head. He quickly took his seat and heard a soft voice speak to him
"Hey if you want I can give you the notes you missed"
"Thanks" he whispered back to Olivia
Class went by in a blur, Vio had no clue what they were talking about in class. He figured maybe he could get help from Olivia.
"Hey Olivia I was wondering if you could actually help me out with Biology I was lost on the whole lesson" she smiled at this, she's couldn't believe she was finally going to have some alone time with Vio.
"Yeah of course I'll help you" she tried to say calmly "You free later today?"
"Um no, not really. How about tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow I have to go help out with the carnival since I'm a junior debutante"
"Oh right the carnival, I forgot. I have to go too because my family is involved in it"
"Oh! Really? I guess I'll see you there"
"Yeah and as for the tutoring how's Sunday? I want to get this before next class"
"Yeah that should work"
Viorel started packing up his things "So is the library fine?" He asked pulling his phone out
"Yeah that's great" she couldn't help stare at him, good thing he was too busy typing something into his phone to notice
Okay so I have ideas for the next chapter, don't know when it'll be up.. Hopefully by next week, we'll see
