Hello readers. Thank you for reading and thank you to Wimu22 and thenextchapter for favouriting. :)
An hour later and all the boys were exhausted. "Fine," bellowed the coach. "ten minute break." With that he walked off.
The team, sweaty and tired, gulped down water like it was the end of the world. Some sat down, others fell to their knees. Only Duke felt okay, but then he had worked out almost everyday during the summer.
"Right," one of the boys said," I'm going to try my luck." He set down his water.
Duke was confused. He whispered to Toby, "What?" who just shrugged.
Meanwhile, the guy had made his way up the steps towards Viola. He walked up to her and leaned against the back of the chair in front of her. "Hey, did hurt when you fell down from heaven, honey?"
Viola could feel eyes of the team, Duke's eyes, on her wondering what she would say. She stood up and took a small step towards him."Did it hurt when you were repeatedly dropped on your head as a baby?" the guy just stared, baffled, as she moved in closer, so that there was about an inch between them. "Anyway, I've got my eye on someone else."
With that, Viola pushed past him and began to walk down towards the crowd of staring boys. As she approached, they seemed to part like the red sea for her. She smiled at Andrew and Toby, who were sitting on the bench, as she past them. Continuing through the crowd, Viola located Duke and when she was a few feet away, she said:"Hey Duke,"extending her arms for a hug, which he willingly reciprocated.
"Hey Vi. What are you doing here?" Everyone was speechless. Duke couldn't talk to girls, it was a fact. Yet here he was talking to one of the hottest girls they had ever seen and he wasn't stuttering in the slightest.
"I was looking for Sebastian but I couldn't find him, and when I saw you guys put here practicing, I thought I'd come and watch you with your sexy body."
Duke processed what he had just heard. Sexy body! Does this mean she likes me?
The rest of the team just watched in stunned silence as Viola continued. "I wasn't disappointed but I'm sure you've gotten better looking since yesterday. Maybe that is because now I can see your six-pack. I got to say the view is good from up there," she finished, gesturing to the stands.
"So, how good were we?" Duke asked, knowing fully well that the practice had been the best for a long time.
"You were...adequate." Viola turned away as she said this, smiling to herself.
"What?" Toby exclaimed, jumping up out of his seat. "We were far better than adequate. We were kick-ass!"
"You were too slow. I can think of three or four people on the Cornwall team that could have snatched the ball out from under you and ran it around to their goal before you even noticed it was missing."
"Yeah, but soccer isn't all about speed," Andrew input, "it's also about the muscle, and I've got lots of that." He tensed his muscles to make them bigger, trying to show off.
"Yes but sports began with agility. You need to move. I suggest you do running drills, races, quick dribbling. It would certainly help you against Cornwall." Now Viola was talking to the captain, moving in closer so that there was little space between them.
"Why are you telling us this?" he questioned, leaning in closer.
"Because," Viola said cslowly, looking him straight in the eye and moving even closer so that their lips were a few centimetres apart. "Because I-"
"Alright ladies. Get back to it," the coach bellowed upon his return.
Viola and Duke broke apart and she turned to walk back to her seat. He's hooked.
