CHAPTER FIVE
AND IT BEGINS
Malcolm had his part of the events all planned out. He left a note for Duke telling him to meet Viola at Cesario for supper. He was careful to make sure that Duke was already gone before he moved on to part two and that was finding Viola and passing on a message that he had written from Duke.
As he had suspected Viola showed up at seven sharp for their usual Friday night date. She knocked on the door and when no one answered she turned the knob and noticed that it was locked. That was when Malcolm stepped in.
"Hey Vi." Malcolm said.
"Malcolm." Viola said about to walk away from him when he said to wait up.
"Duke left this note for you." Malcolm said handing it too her.
Viola thought it was a little strange that he would have left it with Malcolm but took the note anyways and opened it up.
Vi,
Something came up, sorry to cancel the date. Call you later.
Love, Duke!
Shrugging Viola crumpled the noted. She thought to herself why didn't he just call instead of leaving a note, but what ever. The whole situation for some reason made her angry. What would have come up that he couldn't find thirty seconds to call her and let her know.
Sighing Viola walked out of the guys dorms and headed back to her room. Before she got there she decided that she would head down to the soccer field and take some of this frustration out on the field. It was her favorite way to calm herself down.
She ran into the locker room and pulled on her spare sweats that she keep there and grabbed on of the soccer balls off the rack and headed toward the field.
Meanwhile down on the soccer field Justin and Monique were all set. They were down by the goal post, they had just gotten the call that Viola was on her way there. Justin was wearing Dukes jacket and Monique had a blonder, straighter hair wig on. Now if you looked up close you would be able to tell it was Duke and Olivia, however in the dark the jacket and the wig would be enough to convince anyone.
They heard someone coming down the hill and Justin grabbed Monique and started to passionately kiss her and moaned 'Olivia' while Monique did the same except that she moaned 'Duke'. They keep it going for about five minutes until they were sure who ever was watching them had gone. They smiled to themselves and waited for Malcolm to call to see if it had worked out like they planned.
Viola was running down the hill when she heard the moans of two people down by the goal post. She thought to herself great, two people couldn't get it on in their own rooms and had to do it on her field. She was just about to turn and head back to the school when she swore she heard the girl say Dukes name. Viola walked closer trying to be very quiet and her heart stopped when she saw the back of the guy and realized that the guy on the field was wearing Duke's jacket. She continued to watch for a few more seconds when she realized that the name that he was say was Olivia's. Tears sprung to Viola's eyes, she couldn't watch anymore and took off running in the opposite direction of the school.
How could he do this to her, she thought. But then she should have realized that he dropped his fascination with Olivia so quickly when he had harbored it for the last couple years. Why did she believe that he would just drop it at a dime just because she had come into the picture. And Olivia, how could she do that to her brother, he was so happy with her, they seemed like a perfect match and now look what she had done. She had believed her when she said she wasn't into Duke, but she guess that she was wrong.
Viola ran until she was out of breath and collapsed onto the soft grass. She laid there crying until she feel asleep.
Duke got back to his room and was extremely angry. He didn't understand why Viola would leave him a note to meet him and never show up. He was also getting angry because his leather jacket that had been missing for the last couple days still hadn't turned up. He had tried her cell a couple times but all he got was the answering machine. The only thing he left on the messages was that he was looking for her and to call him as soon as she got the message.
He sat around trying to study but he couldn't get his mind off Viola. Finally he threw down his pen in frustration and decided to go look for her. He tried at her room first but no one answered so he tried down and the soccer field. She wasn't there either, and now Duke was starting to get worried. However he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her walking out of the woods.
Viola woke up about half an hour later and pulled herself off the grass. She decided to head back to the school and get a cab out of there, only after she found Sebastian and tell him what happened. She just got back towards the soccer field when she saw Duke standing there.
Tears welled up in her eyes in the thought of his betrayal. He ran up to her and gave her a big hug.
"Where have you been, I've been so worried about you." Duke said, then he looked down at her face and noticed that she was crying, "What's wrong baby?"
All of a sudden complete anger and rage took over Viola, how could he be standing there pretending to be her boyfriend when just an hour ago she had caught him making out with Olivia.
Viola pushed him away from her and said, "Get away from me and stay away from me."
Duke now completely confused asked, "What is going on Vi, why are you acting like this?"
"Don't stand there pretending you don't know, weren't you the one that betrayal among friends, well what do you call what you did tonight?" Viola asked angrily.
"What are you talking about Vi, I didn't do anything tonight." Duke asked not understanding why she was acting this way.
"I saw you with her. You and Olivia on the soccer field making out. Don't deny it." Viola said the tears falling down her face.
"Deny it, I don't even know what you are talking about. I never even saw Olivia tonight."
"So can you explain to me why I saw you and her down in the field tonight." Viola asked angrily, and when Duke didn't answer Viola said, "Thought so, had to have it all, well now you just have her."
Viola didn't stick around any longer, she took off running. Duke was going to go after her but he didn't know what was going on. He just stood there in complete shock that the best thing in his life just took off in the other direction.
