Duke looked at Viola with concern and anger mixed in his eyes. "Viola are you okay? What did Drayton want?"

Viola looked at Duke with fear in her eyes. She knew that he was waiting on her to answer but she couldn't seem to get her tongue to work. She took in a deep breath and let it out and then grabbed a hold of Duke's hand and held it tightly in her own. "He wanted to tell me that I was his and he would make sure that I remembered it. This is a side of Justin I've never seen before and I'm not scared to admit that it is a side that frightens me. He won't leave me alone Duke. He will continue to make my life hell until he get what he wants. I don't know what I'm going to do."

Duke stood up and then sat on the bed beside Viola. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his side. His free hand lifted to her face and he gently turned her head towards him. "Listen to me Viola. I don't care what Drayton says or does I promise you he will not get within a foot of you before he pays for everything he has said and everything he is doing. You're safe here and none of us are going to let you get hurt. You just have to trust in us. You just have to trust in me."

Viola smiled slightly as she lifted a hand to Duke's cheek. "I do trust in you Duke. I know that you wouldn't let him get to me intentionally but you can't be around all the time."

Duke shook his head. "If I am not around I'll make sure that someone is. You are not to leave this room alone to go anywhere by yourself."

Viola chuckled and said "Yes Dad."

Duke made a face and then without even realizing what he was doing he kissed Viola on the head. "I promise that I won't let anything happen to you Viola."

Viola's breath caught in her chest at Duke's actions towards her. She had to fight herself to breathe normally because his touch affected her more than she thought it would. "I trust you Duke and because I trust you I need to tell you something. I know that I should tell you but I'm scared to tell you. I don't want you angry at me and I don't want you to hate me."

Duke frowned and looked down at Viola. "Why would I be angry at you Viola? Why would I hate you? You can tell me anything."

Viola sighed and then closed her eyes as she said "I didn't get this concussion by getting hit in the head with something while I was out with Olivia. I got this concussion the other day when we were having soccer practice and I hit my head on a rock. It was the day that Toby ran over to check on 'Sebastian'. 'Sebastian' isn't really Sebastian, Duke. I've been pretending to be my brother so I could play soccer here because the girls team was cut at Cornwall and the Coach of the boys team wouldn't let us try out for them. I'm the one who has been rooming with you the whole time not 'Sebastian' like you thought."

Duke's mouth kept opening and shutting as he listened to Viola talk. After she stopped talked he just sat there holding her to him without saying anything. He thought back over everything that he thought he knew about 'Sebastian' and realized that he should have known that 'Sebastian' wasn't really Sebastian. He felt Viola's eyes on him and he looked at her. He saw the fear in her eyes and the concern and he knew this time she was fearing his reaction to what she had just said. He took in a deep breath and let it out and then surprised Viola and himself by laughing. "I should have known. I mean there were so many things that wasn't adding up about 'Sebastian' but I never thought about 'Sebastian' being a girl. It all makes so much sense now. I take it that Toby knows and that is why he was so protective of 'Sebastian' at soccer practice two days ago?"

Viola nodded and looked at Duke carefully. "Yes Toby knows and so does Principal Gold and Coach Dinklage. I don't really want anyone else to know just yet. I'm sorry if you're mad at me or if you hate me Duke. Also it was Principal Gold who came up with the story of me being sick and not being able to attend classes. I will go to all the classes as 'Sebastian' and pick up my work and do mine and my brothers."

Duke looked at Viola with admiration in his eyes. "I'm not mad Viola and I don't hate you. I wish that you would have told me sooner but I do understand. So Principal Gold is okay with you rooming with me even though he knows that you aren't really 'Sebastian?'"

Viola nodded. "Yes he is. He is also the one who called my Mom and had her transfer me here by telling her that Sebastian was missing me so much and that he wasn't doing so well by being away from me."

Duke nodded. "I'll keep your secret Viola but I think we should let Andrew in on it. That way you don't have to pretend to be 'Sebastian' when we are in our dorm room."

Viola thought about it for a minute and then nodded. "That is a good idea. I know we need to let the others know too but for now I want them to see how good of a player I am. I don't want them to judge me just because I'm a girl."

Duke nodded. "I understand that. I'm glad that I finally know someone else who soccer is so important to. I also meant what I said Viola. You don't leave here without someone with you. I don't like Drayton and I don't trust him."

Viola nodded and then groaned. "Oh God Saturday is the carnival thing and both 'Sebastian' and I are to be there. I don't know how I'm going to do that. I'm going to have to switch clothes a couple times."

Duke thought for a minute and then grinned. "Toby, Andrew and I will help and don't you have friends who will help also?"

Viola smiled and nodded. "Yes I do. Paul, Kia and Yvonne will help me. The thing I'm worried about is Drayton will more than likely be there."

A hard look came over Duke's face. "He won't get near you Viola I swear. Now why don't we go outside and hit the ball around for a while?"

Viola smiled and nodded and then stood up. She saw Duke turn around so she quickly put shorts on and then grabbed her ball. "I'm ready."

While he had his back turned he had quickly pulled on his own shorts. He turned around and his breath caught in his chest. He couldn't believe how pretty she was. He held out his hand and when Viola grabbed it he led the way out of their dorm room and then out of their dorm building and to the soccer field. Little did he know that Drayton had saw them as the reached the field.
