CHAPTER SIX
It was finally the day of the game. Viola was so excited that she couldn't sleep the night before. All she could think about was proving to Justin and the rest of the guys on the Cornwall team that she was just as good as them, or even better. But no matter how much she was thinking about the game her thoughts keep going back to Duke.
She still couldn't believe how great Duke was letting her play with him and then helping her get on the Illyria team, and even standing up for her to the other guys. She couldn't believe how lucky she was having him in her life now.
She woke up early and got ready and meet up with the team outside the guys locker room. She went up and stood with Duke, Toby and Andrew.
After giving his inspirational speech to the team Coach Dinklage yelled, "Let's go, Kill!"
Everyone yelled 'kill' in unison and all walked out calmly for their dramatic entrance onto the field.
The Cornwall team was already out on the field and were waiting for the Illyria team to come out.
Viola walked out next to Duke and had pulled her hair up in a pony tail to keep it out of her face when she ran. She was so excited that she could barely contain it. Duke looking down at her and noticing this took her hand for a second, gave it a quick squeeze and a wink then let go.
They all lined up and Duke walked up to face Justin for the coin toss and for the traditional hand shack between the captains. It was then that Justin realized that Viola was standing up with the rest of the team waiting for the game to begin.
"Hold on," Justin yelled pointing at Viola, "there is no girls on these teams."
Before Viola could say anything in her defense Duke said laughing, "Scared Draeton that I girl will beat you?"
"There's no way she is better then any of the guys, she may be good but we are better." Justin said as his coach approached.
"Draeton is right there is no girls on these teams." he said. "Its against the rules."
By this time the rest of the teams had joined them in the center of the field to work out the problem. The referee pulled out his rule book and quickly started to scan it looking for a rule against Viola playing but the book was rudely ripped out of his hands by Coach Dinklage who ripped it in half and threw it back at Coach Pistonek.
"I don't believe there is a problem here coach unless you believe that we here also discriminate against women?" Dinklage said poking his fingers into Pistonek's chest..
Pistonek rubbed his chest but refused to say anything to reinforce that fact that the other coach had just hurt him by poking him.
The ref not wanting to get into the middle of this said calmly, "You guys have to decide but it has to be unanimous."
"What do you say coach, you scared that your team is going to lose worse with us having a girl on the team?" Dinklage said winking back at Viola who sent him a thankful smile for standing up for her.
"Fine if you want to play a girl that's your suicide." said Pistonek.
"This is going to be funny." Justin said directing his comment to Viola.
Viola just said him a mocking smile then went back to her place to await for the coin toss.
Justin called out 'heads' and won. They decided to stay on the side they were but refused to shake Duke's hand.
Duke returned to the rest of his team but he didn't need to say much to get the team going, they were confident in their ability and the fact that they wouldn't be figuring in Viola as much as a player.
Justin returned to his team and started to go on that this was their year that they would beat Illyria and prove once and for all who was the better team.
When they broke they lined up for the opening of the game. The ref blew his whistle and the game started. Duke took the ball and headed toward Cornwall's net. He based the ball to Viola who continued to work the ball between other members of the team making sure to keep it away from any of the guys on Cornwall's team.
As good as Illyria was at keeping the ball away from the Cornwall team Justin was still at the top of his game blocking most of the shots at their net, but it was a lucky shot by Duke that allowed Illyria to take the lead. After he scored the whole team gathered around him at the goal to celebrate their lead over Cornwall.
For the rest of the period no goals were scored but Cornwall made many good attempts at getting the ball away from Illyria long enough to make an attempt to score on them. When half time was called they headed back to the locker rooms for a break.
On the way in Viola heard Justin yelling for her for wait.
Turning around Viola asked impatiently, "What do you want Draeton?"
"Come on baby, I get now that you are out there to prove yourself to me. And I'll admit to you, you being with Orsino made me realize what a good thing I had with you. SO you can leave him now cause you got what you wanted." Draeton said with his cocky smile.
"And what would that be?"
"Me silly, I know the only reason you were with him was to make me jealous and it worked." Justin said smiling.
"Justin your ego is to big for that brain of yours, what makes you think in a million years that I would come back with you." Viola said laughing.
"Come on baby, I know you still want me." Draeton said smiling.
Just then Duke walked up behind Viola and wrapped his arm around Viola's shoulder.
"Something you want Draeton?" Duke asked, and when Draeton didn't respond he said, "Then I guess we'll finish this on the field, let's go Vi."
Smiling at Duke Viola said, "Later Draeton."
Justin watched them walk away and stomped his foot and walked back to rejoin the rest of his team.
Before they walked into the locker room, Duke asked Viola, "Everything OK?"
"Everything is fine, just Justin's ego thinking that all of my actions have him in mind." Viola said laughing.
Viola stood up her tip toes and kissed Duke on the lips. "For good luck, not that you need it."
Duke just laughed and left his arm where it was when they walked into the locker room.
When the half time was over the teams returned to the field to finish the game.
The second half played out much like the first one except the two additional goals scored by Illyria by Duke and one by Viola. Just looking at Justin's face they could tell that he was getting completely frustrated by how this game was playing out.
With thirty seconds left in the game Viola managed another goal due to the wonderful assist from Duke by replaying his bicycle kick that Duke was famous for. Justin jumped to get the ball but just missed it, resulting in Illyria beating Cornwall four nothing.
The rest of the Illyria team ran to where Viola was jumping up and down and doing her victory dance. Duke ran up to her and picked her up and started to swing her around. They looked over to where Justin was sitting on the ground punching it mumbling something about how this wasn't fair.
The team celebrated on the field on the field before heading to the showers to get changed.
Sebastian met up with Viola before she headed to the girls showers and gave her a big hug.
"So I guess you got everything you wanted, kicking Cornwall's butt and for a change you being the reason that Justin cries." Sebastian said laughing.
"You know they say winning shouldn't be everything but in this case it was wonderful." Viola said excitedly.
"Well I guess you proved all them wrong at Cornwall, that you are better then they all are." Sebastian said laughing.
"Was there any doubt who was the better of the players." Viola said laughing. "So I better go get showered."
"I would say so, you stink." Sebastian said plugging his nose.
"Shut up." Viola said laughing punching him in the shoulder and heading back to the school.
