Kissing Olivia this time was different. There's nothing between us, no lies, no pretending, just us. The world around them fell away and the only thing that mattered was getting more of Olivia. The way she tasted, how soft her skin felt and the way she smelled. She always smells so nice. Viola smiled to herself and held Olivia tighter, never wanting the moment to end.
"Yes, and students, abstinence is key!" Came loudly from behind them, both girls were so shocked they jumped off of each other, blushing and trying to fix their clothes. Regaining some composure after making out in front of the whole school in order to face the voice of their principal, who was acting more embarrassed than they were.
"Students of Illyria, remember that abstinence is key to the male-female dynamic… or the female-female dynamic as Miss Hastings and Miss Lenox have shown us today…"
Don't laugh… don't laugh Viola. This is a serious situation, please don't laugh. I know Principal Gold totally looks goofy by wearing a hairnet… what is he even doing in the cafeteria? He's weird but I'm glad he likes me enough to where I won't get in trouble… I hope.
Viola kept daydreaming and arguing with herself while Principal Gold's words washed over her, not really paying attention to anything but Olivia. Who was to the left of the headmaster. She was playing with her hands. Nervous at not knowing if she would get in trouble or not and trying to will herself not to look at Viola while Principal Gold was droning on about being teenagers and hormones and being completely awkward to the point of almost emptying the cafeteria… save for their friends who where trying to get all the wires back to normal.
"Well, that went well." Principal Gold smiled at them.
"Why, yes! That was great advice there, Principal Gold!" Replied Viola as she patted him on the back.
"You really think so?" He looked so hopeful that it nearly broke her heart that everyone had cleared the cafeteria.
"Of course, things that hadn't even crossed my mind will be discussed tonight with all my friends… help you… scatter that information."
"Thank you Viola, I can always count on you… You know, I was a transfer student once too." As his eyes glazed over, recounting his schoolboy days, Toby, Andrew and Eunice took the amp, the microphone and the mess of cables with them and scattered. Mouthing their goodbyes and waving before making a speedy exit.
But Olivia just stood behind the headmaster, studying Viola. The only person that seemed to get on everyone's good side; even the principal. Who didn't hide the fact that he disliked her twin, but adored her to the point of volunteering at the cafeteria to tell her to have a great whatever she was eating that day. She smiled to herself as Viola led the Principal out the door and let out a long breath before turning around to face her once again.
"Hi… umm… yeah…" Olivia couldn't help but laugh at Viola being speechless.
"Thank you for getting him off my back. But if you're disappointed that your buddy couldn't hang out with you, we can always meet up later." She teased.
"What?! No, he's my principal Olivia. We share a special student-principal bond and nothing else… besides doing the whole confession thing in front of the whole school would have been really awkward and weird if it had been made to him."
They both laughed at Viola's joke. Letting their eyes meet, blushing and turning away. Only to do that again and again, until the bell that signaled the end of lunch, rang.
"Well… I'll see you around, then?" Viola looked down at the floor before kissing Olivia on the lips again, shyly and then running out of the cafeteria. Leaving a smiling blonde in an empty cafeteria, whose only sounds came from the snack machines next to the tables.

At the end of the day, Viola threw herself on her bed and smiled. Nothing could be better than finally owning up to what she was feeling for Olivia and Hitting Malcolm with a microphone to top it off. Could this day get any better?
"Hey sis."
"AHHH!" Viola was so scared by her brother breaking into her room that she rolled over and fell at the other side of her bed.
"You have a really terrible poker face… this is why I always win."
"Well, if you weren't such a deviant who breaks into my room, I wouldn't be having a heart attack right now!" Came from a very cranky Viola.
"Right," Sebastian set his guitar and backpack down at her door and laid down at her now, painfully emptied bed. "So is it true that you were totally making out on Olivia Lennox? The same Olivia you tried to set me up with after the whole school found out you were pretending to be me?"
Ughh, I hate it when he uses his smug voice. What is he going to rub in my face now?
"Yes, the same one. Who obviously was too hot for you." Came out as she gently placed her head on her bed, next to her brother's.
"Ouch, I just came here to chat."
"You made me bruise myself in places that are not easy to heal right now!"
"It's not my fault, you gave me a key, remember?" He said as he started picking at lint from his shirt.
"What? No I didn't?!"
"Yeah, you totally did. I mean you left your keys in your room, inside that fake Spanish dictionary book. Which I know is fake because you don't know Spanish, except for piñata…"
"You broke into my safe?!" Viola stood up, completely outraged that her privacy had been violated by her annoying brother. He's always so smug just because he was born two minutes before me.
"It's not much of a safe, actually. It's a fake book with a fake lock. But I did make myself some duplicates."
"You know I hate it when you do that. I have secret stuff there. Private and secret and secretively secret things that aren't meant for you to see!"
"What? Your collection of lint, paperclips and keys?"
"Perhaps…" Viola answered with as much dignity as she could muster when the contents of her secret safe where being thrown in her face.
"Whatever, not why I'm here…"
Oh right, he's been here for like 10 minutes and I don't even know why he bothered to break in. Or well, not, because he has my keys… copies of my keys…
"Earth to Viola. Baby sister, come back. Stop the thought train and listen to me for a moment."
"I'm listening, you're just boring."
"Funny. But what I wanted to know is: are you totally gay for Olivia now? And when are you telling mom and dad? Because when they kill you, I'd like to make a studio in your empty room…"
"Oh crap, mom and dad…"
Suddenly, the reality of being with Olivia hit her. Because outside the walls of the school, not everyone would be happy that she got the girl in the end.
Author's Note: Ok, sorry that my updating has been nonexistent but I just started school again and I had to get used to school, volunteering and work all at the same time. But I will try to schedule some time to write this story because I really enjoy it and apparently so do you guys.
Thank you for your reviews, they reminded me that I have a responsibility to you guys, the readers. So keep reviewing guys, thank you, and I will keep on writing.
