Duke looked at Viola, then at the ground and then back at Viola.

"I don't know…" he was cut of by Viola who signet

"right now…but let's just give it time, okay?" Duke looked back at the ground

" Okay" Viola said with a lump in her throuth.

Sebastian picked up Viola's bags and guided her back in the building. They made there way through the hallways towards the office of the principal. Duke had walked back to Sebastian and his room. On his way he walked past Olivia.

"Hey Duke, what's up?" She Said

"Nothing….just…nothing"He signet and wanted to walk further but she stopped him.

"If there is….you can Always talk to me, you know that don't you?"

"Yeah thanks Olivia" He hugged her and walked on.


"Allright miss….you can stay at this school. But just because you looked like a real boy" the principal said and smiled. Sebastian and Viola looked at each other smiling. Their principal was nuts.

"Where can I sleep? I mean I can't stay at the boys dorm." Viola asked

"You can lay your head down in the room of miss Lennox. You're friends right?"

"kindoff"she said and packed her things. Sebastian went back to his room…or Viola's old room and Viola went of to the room of Olivia. She opened the door and saw Olivia sitting at her desk typing something on her computer.

"Hi"Viola said awkwardly.

"Hey"Olivia answered smiling and walking towards her. She hugged her once and looked at her

"Are you okay?" she asked and sat down on her bed. Viola sat down on the bed next to hers.

"I don't know. I mean….Duke….my brother….I thought I handled it well, you know. But then Duke appeared and you and Malcolm and everybody else. It's all to much. The only thing I'm glad about right now is me playing the game and staying here at school."

Olivia flashed a weak smile at Viola. "You can always talk to me"

"Thank you" Viola said and layed down. "I;m so tired….I think I'm gonna sleep now" and she closed her eyes.


When she woke up again it was 1 o'clock in the night. She stood up and put on a sweater. She took a ball from her bag and walked outside. She always became calm when she kicked a ball around.

"Hey"she heard a voice say and she turned around. There he stood, Duke, dressed in a red Illyria sweater.

"How are you?"He asked and sat down on the grass. Viola took the ball in her hands and sat down next to him.

"Okay"she lied.

Duke nodded and looked at her.He layed his hand on her knee

"I still……erm…Viola…I still like…erm…you" He stuttered. Viola flashed a weak smile.

"Really?"

"Yeah"he whispered and looked at the ground. She layed her hand on his and their fingers entwined. Their faces leaned into each other and just before there lips met, they heard a loud noise.
