CHAPTER ONE

MEANT FOR EACH OTHER

Viola was taking a jog early in the morning, this had became her thing since she made the starting sting on Illyria's soccer team. She wanted to keep in shape so that the guys wouldn't regret letting a girl on their team. Also she didn't want to fall behind. In the end she also enjoyed the feeling of running in the early morning air.

When she was finished she went back to the girls dorms where she had moved into a room with Olivia every since she was discovered to be a girl instead of her twin brother Sebastian who was still sharing a room with the love of her life, Duke Orsino. She quickly got a shower then ran over to the guys dorms to meet up with Duke for breakfast.

She knocked quietly on the door and Duke came to the door only wearing his PJ bottoms looking extremely tired.

Smiling with that cute innocent smile she asked, "Did I wake you?"

"Vi, I love you but its only six thirty in the morning. I knew you were dedicated but for God's sake people need sleep."

"Come on, you're the captain, you should be out their running with me everyday." Viola said laughing.

"Sure, right on that." Duke said.

"Well are you going to invite me in or am I going to continue to stand out in the hall looking like an idiot." Viola teased him.

"Come on in." Duke said leaning down to get a good morning kiss.

Hey both walked in and started to laugh when they heard Sebastian mumble something about Olivia and then continue on with his snoring.

"No wonder you can't sleep you have to listen that all night." Viola joked quietly.

"Tampons work for more then just nose bleeds you know." Duke joke, referring to the first time that they had met when she was pretending to be Sebastian.

"Shut up." Viola laughed gently punching Duke in the shoulder.

"Where do you want to go for breakfast?" Duke asked picking up one of his shirts off the floor and putting it on.

"Cafeteria will be fine with me, as long as I'm with you." Viola fluttering her eyelashes at Duke then burst out laughing waking up Sebastian.

"God Vi," he mumbled, "I go to bed you're here, I walk up you're here. Duke go to their place for a change, I need my sleep before I can even consider going to classes."

"Sorry Sebastian." They both said. Duke grabbed some clothes and went down to the bathroom to change leaving Viola practically alone in the room.

She sat down at the desk and started to flip through his notes for school. Pretty boring until she came to a page where Duke had drawn a perfect heart and had her name written in the middle of it with 'meant to be' written under it. The biggest smile broke out on Viola's face.

Viola quickly shut his scribbler knowing how embarrassed Duke would be if he knew she saw that. Although they were really good at talking to each other, he still had him moments were he got nervous really talking to her.

When he came back they walked out and went down to the cafeteria with his arm around her shoulder the whole time.

The day went by like every other day. They all went to class and afterwards Viola and Duke headed to soccer practice. They laughed and joked the whole way there and were quickly joined by Toby and Andrew. Before they could all start carrying on too much Coach Dinklage came onto the field blowing his whistle and yelling at them to break into skins and shirts for warm ups.

After practice while the entire team filled off the field to get showers Duke and Viola stayed behind to just kick the ball around. They enjoyed just fooling around on the field playing the game that had brought them together.

They played for another half an hour before collapsing into the grass side by side.

"Well that was fun." Viola said laughing. "I do believe a scored a couple on you there captain."

"I was being easy on you, building up your self confidence." Duke said teasing her rolling over on his side so he was now facing Viola.

"Being easy on me huh?" Viola said laughing, "Sure you were."

"Come on, I think we better hit the showers." Duke said getting up and pulling Viola up after.

"So should I dawn on the wig and join you?" Viola said with a wink.

"I think you've done and seen enough when you were your brother." Duke said laughing and leaning down kissing her.

"I was joking, now come on." Viola said taking his hand as they headed back to the school.

Duke smiled down at Viola and thought to himself how lucky he was to have her in his life, no matter how it started. He was so glad that he had gotten off his Trojan horse and met her at the debutante ball.

Before they parted ways to the shower Duke looked down and asked, "So do you want to go on a date tonight?"

"Sure, what do you want to do?" Viola asked him.

"I figure a movie." Duke asked.

"Want to get me alone in a nice dark theater huh?" Viola asked winking at him..

"If I wanted to be alone I would kick your brother out of the room. I figure we can see a movie and then meet up with everyone at Cesario's later." Duke said blushing at the comment about being alone in the theater.

"OK see then later babe." Viola said standing on her tiptoes and kissed Duke goodbye. "See you in Chemistry."

"See ya." Duke said.
