THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS- I WAS ON HOLIDAY BUT IM BACK-HERE IS CHAPTER SEVEN OF OR WHAT YOU WILL:
Chapter 7:
Olivia couldn't take hiding anymore. She raised her head proudly as walked passed the kissing couple. Out of the corner of his eye Sebastian briefly chocked as Olivia passed him, her eyes welling with hurt as she tuned back her head and walked away. Suddenly snogging Monique seemed so wrong. But Sebastian wasn't with Olivia, no matter how many times he wished differently. So why did he feel so wrong?
Back in her dorm, Olivia's face muffled her pillow. She wanted to scream, scream so loud that Monique and Sebastian would go deaf. Why? Why, was this hurting so badly? Olivia stifled a pained expression. Why? That's it, Olivia decided, she wasn't going to fall for anyone anymore. Olivia would freeze to every emotion, and become an iceberg. Yes, an iceberg. Olivia had chosen her path. The most lonely and difficult path. The path taken by one alone.
"Duke" Viola moaned as Duke pressed her against the wall outside her dorm, kissing her furiously.
"Duke" she repeated louder. Duke turned to face her, raising an eyebrow. "As much as I love doing this, I gotta get some sleep." She smiled.
Duke grinned. Finally he and Viola got together. "Ok, babe. Pick you up here tomorrow morning?"
"You better." Viola wrapped her arms around Duke's waist and kissed him lightly.
The kiss soon turned to a major, full blown make out session as they hungrily kissed each other, begging for more. They stopped as soon as they saw someone in the hallway.
"NO PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF AFFECTION IN THE HALLWAY" Malcolm screeched. He walked towards them. Viola groaned. Could Malcolm get any louder?
"Yo, Malcolm shut up." Duke growled. "Just because the only decent kiss you got was from your mother."
"Well…she is decent…" Malcolm jerked his head up in horror. Viola stifled a laugh. She would spread that rumour in the morning. "Get lost Malcolm, or the next time I see your tarantula, I'll step on it!" she threatened. Malcolm looked up, angry. "You wouldn't" he hissed, as he ran away.
Viola smiled. "Now, where were we?" Duke grinned. This night was getting better and better.
Justin looked on, teeth grounded as he watched Viola and Duke make out. The very nerve of Orsino to steal her away…"I'm going to get her back" vowed Justin, "Whatever it takes."
Justin cursed as he remembered the look that Coach Dinklage had given him after the game. No blame or anger. Just disappointment. Justin couldn't take that look, it bothered him, bothered him more than it should of. Maybe it was because of the way Coach Dinklage was nodding approvingly at Orsino…?
His face flushed angrily. He wasn't only going to get Viola back, he was going to ruin Duke's life here. And the best way, of course was to get Viola back.
The next day during biology, Olivia and Sebastian worked in awkward silence. Careful, polite voices, and refusing to look at each other when it wasn't necessary. Sebastian looked uncomfortable with the silence, he was used to noise, after all he grew up with Viola. Where was Viola anyway, Sebastian wondered. He saw her with Duke, standing very close together, holding hands under the table. He also saw Justin glaring angrily in their direction. "Sebastian?" Sebastian turned around, unable to believe that Olivia had finally spoken to him.
"Yes?" his voice was cool, his eyebrows raised.
Olivia saw Sebastian looking at her. She felt a stab of annoyance. What did he want now? She wondered.
"Sebastian, look at me when I'm talking to you!" The voice, Sebastian winced did not belong to Olivia but to Monique. She wrapped her arms around him. "Hey baby" she said coyly. Sebastian smiled back, albeit weakly. Olivia couldn't take this anymore. "Hey," she suggested, "Why don't I clear our and you guys can make out on top of the table?" Sebastian flushed while Monique couldn't have looked more annoyed.
"Look, go find your own boyfriend why don't you." Monique said cattily.
Olivia looked at Sebastian straight in the eye. "Don't worry. I will." Sebastian's stomach lurched and looked at the floor. Olivia's face became emotionless, as she walked to Monique's former lab table.
Monique had seen the way Olivia and Sebastian stare at each other, when they thought the other wasn't looking. Monique felt a stab of annoyance cross her. What did Olivia have that she didn't? She would make sure that Olivia of all people, would not get her boyfriend. Olivia had everything else. Monique was set. She would get Sebastian to completely hate Olivia. Whatever it takes.
Monique wrapped an arm around Sebastian, smiling sugarly and said, "We still up for Saturday?"
Sebastian nodded, chancing a quick look at Olivia. Olivia saw Sebastian looking at her, shot him a quick glare and looked away. Sebastian felt terrible, he didn't know why, he just did. He wasn't doing anything wrong…was he?
At lunch time Justin sauntered up to where Viola and were cuddling and ignored the feelings of wanting to grab Duke and stab him. "Viola?" Justin called, "Can we talk?"
Duke stood up and smirked, "Not on your life. Which isn't going to be for much longer after Dinklage is finished with you." Justin visibly paled. Viola smacked Duke on the arm, "He was just joking. Weren't you Duke?" she said menacingly.
Duke nodded meekly. Toby coughed, "Whipped."
Viola smiled innocently as she grabbed her soft drink and tipped it over Toby's head. Andrew spluttered out laughing, giving Viola a hi-five. Toby, looking for retaliation, grabbed his ice cream and ignoring the chills on his hand, threw it. The ice cream flew and hit Olivia, on her shirt. Toby ducked under the table. Olivia gave him a teasing smirk, and remembering Sebastian, ducked her head under the table, and grabbed Toby's face.
"Don't I look good enough to eat?" she said seductively. Toby's mouth was open and their faces got closer and closer…Olivia's face feeling the smallest twinge of guilt…oh well, too late. Coke splashed over them as Olivia screamed and Toby tried to conceal his squealing. Sebastian grinned as he held the offending Coke bottles in his arms, while adrenaline pumped inside. They were so close, Sebastian seethed. The thought of Olivia being with someone else was…
"Hey!" Malcolm protested. "No food fights in the cafeteriaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" he squealed as empty bottles were flung at him.
Sebastian burst out laughing until he saw both Toby and Olivia glare at him. Andrew grinned in his seat. This…though Andrew was going to be interesting. Sebastian grabbed Duke and Vi's chocolate mousse and smeared it on both Olivia and Toby's face, his fingers lingering on Olivia's. "Food fight" he said innocently.
And the chaos in the cafeteria began.
Duke laughed. Trust Sebastian and Viola to come up with a food fight. Speaking of Viola, where was she Duke wondered. He got up, narrowly avoiding a meat pie and ran out to find her. She wasn't in her room. He walked out, and as something caught his eye. A flying soccer ball. The soccer pitch! Duke smiled as he raced to find her. On the field Viola practising with Justin as she booted the ball towards him. "Hey Vi," he called, "You've started a massive food fight." Viola looked up at Duke. "Really?" she smiled proudly. "Piss of Orsino," Justin spat.
"Don't worry, I will." Duke smiled, "With my girlfriend." He picked Viola up and ran off the feel, giving Viola a good opportunity to stare at his butt. Duke was surprised Viola went without a fight, until he figured out why. "Viola!" he exclaimed turning pink. Viola turned to look at him. "What?" she grinned innocently. Duke laughed as he got to the more serious subject. "So what does Justin want from you?" he asked blandly.
Viola raised her eyebrows. "I thought it was obvious," she said, "He wants me to abort his baby." Duke chocked. "Are you…you know…" Viola smiled lovingly at her stupid, stupid boyfriend.
"Duke…" she trailed. Duke couldn't look at her. "I'm sorry but…"
Duke cupped her face in his hands, "Its okay, we'll get through this. First of all do you want the baby?"
Duke was so serious that Viola was trying desperately not to laugh. "Duke…I'm sorry but you're the stupidest dipstick I've ever dated."
Duke looked up shocked. Viola sighed. She WOULD have to spell this out for him after all. "Duke," she said slowly. "I'm. Not. Pregnant." Duke was stilled looking shocked. Viola sighed. "I was helping him with soccer."
Relief was the first feeling that coursed through Duke's body. Then anger. "Well the abortion joke wasn't funny" he shouted as he stalked away. Viola looked stunned. Then she ran after him. "What's wrong?" she said quietly. Duke looked at her and unwilling the anger died away. "Don't worry," he said shortly as he walked away.
"How can I not worry?" Viola shouted to his back. "When you're acting like this?" she whispered.
Justin surveyed the scene with satisfaction. Viola was walking passed, fuming. He walked towards her. "Justin, please go I really don't need you right now." Justin nodded. "Hey," he said sympathetically, "If you need to talk you know you can talk to me."
Viola nodded and walked towards her dorm. All she wanted to do was forget the entire afternoon.
Justin whistled his way to class. During English, in which Duke, Viola, Andrew and Justin shared, they started to discuss Romeo and Juliet. He knew he would have to become sympathetic later for Viola but if that's what it took for Duke to lose control that's what he would do. Life was looking up for Justin Drayton.
Duke felt sick inside. He wasn't pregnant but he shouldn't have blown up at Viola like that. He felt bad when he walked away, and terrible when he caught her last sentence…it sounded so lonely. It took all his self restraint to hold himself back and not wrap his arms around her. She sounded so small and lonely and it pained him to know that he was doing that to her. "She needed to know," Andrew whispered, breaking into Duke's train of thought. Duke decided. "She would have to know…once she talks to me again," Duke said grimly. Viola didn't even show up to class.
"Does anyone know why Ms. Hasting hasn't granted us her presence?" asked the English teacher dryly. The teacher's eyes rested on Duke. "Oh wait, Mr. Orsino is here, so where is she?" Duke flushed as the class snickered. It only made him miss Viola more. "She's sick, Miss." Andrew volunteered. The teacher raised her eyebrows, but marked Viola sick anyway. "So who will partner Ms. Hastings in the assignment? Anyone but Mr. Orsino, that is." Duke turned red. Every time, the teacher would somehow catch Duke and Viola making out, when they were suppose to be doing their 'assignment' in the library.
"I will." Everyone turned to look at Justin, who looked back coolly to Duke's furious glare.
"Alright then" the teacher concluded. Andrew frowned. "Lay one hand on her and die" he threatened Justin.
"What are you, her boyfriend?" Justin sneered.
"No, a good friend." Andrew retorted. Duke patted Andrew's back. "Come on" he motion with his hand. "Let's get out of here."
Sebastian found Olivia in her dorm. "Viola's not here." Olivia said, turning back to her magazine. Sebastian sighed. She wasn't going to make things easy for him. "I didn't come here to find Viola" he said, "Although she looks a bit upset at the moment."
"What's wrong? I better go find her." Olivia put down her magazine, "Please leave."
"Why?" Sebastian made a face at the politeness of her tone.
"So I can get changed."
"No, I like the view from here" he smirked.
Olivia suddenly closed the distance between them and grabbed his ear and whispered, "Listen Sebastian, I don't what you're trying to pull here, but let's get something straight. You have a girlfriend. So stop flirting with me. I am just about to move on so stop it. Okay? Now let's find my best friend and your sister."
Sebastian winced as she let go of his ear and his heart sank when he heard that she was moving on. "Man Olivia," he muttered, "My ears are about to drop off." He looked at Olivia.
"Out!" screamed Olivia, "Did you not hear what I just said?"
He looked at Olivia straight in the eye. "I heard everything I needed to hear." Sebastian walked away hurt and broken. He walked towards the door. "Vi's at the soccer pitch. She really needs a friend right now."
Monique wondered down the hall way, when she saw Sebastian come out one of the girl's room. "Sebastian," she called running to him. "What are you doing here?" she asked, smiling coyly. She smirked, "I didn't know you were looking for me."
Monique glanced at the door he had exited from. Room 344. That room was…Olivia's. It was also Viola's but that piece of information didn't reach to her straight away. Trying to keep her cool, she said "So, really why are you in the girl's corridor?"
Annoyed, Sebastian answered "To visit my sister."
"Really? That's so sweet, I love a family man" Monique gushed as she pressed up against Sebastian.
The door burst open. Olivia came out armed with a box of tissues and chocolate. She eyed the couple making out in disgust. "So sorry for…interrupting, but Sebastian, where did you say Viola was again?"
Sebastian swore mentally as Monique's curious eyes bore into his.
