CHAPTER ELEVEN

THE CAMP OUT

After everything that had gone down over the last month the camp out was a much needed break from school and life at school. Everyone came and it soon became a big party. Because Toby and Andrew came they decided to invite the rest of the soccer team and they're friends to come with them. After getting a fire going Viola convinced everyone to make up some teams and play a couple games of soccer.

While most agreed some of them decided to hit the water and go swimming. Viola even convinced Sebastian to put down his guitar and join the game.

Viola was on one team while Duke was on the other. When they went for the face off Viola said, "You better win cause if you don't none of these guys will let you live down the fact that a girl beat you."

"Bring it on." Duke said laughing.

The game started and Viola managed to get the ball every time Duke got it. With Sebastian on her team she keep sending him the ball and making sure every that no one got it from him. The game went by great and in the end the teams were tied when they decided to call it quits.

"Way to go Sebastian, looks like you have gotten better since the Cornwall game." Duke said slapping Sebastian on the back.

"I would say thanks but I know you are joking." Sebastian said laughing, "I think Viola put me out there to make me look like a fool."

"Nothing can get by you can it bro. You would think you would have learned something from the time you played for me." Viola said coming up behind him. "So how did the sand taste?"

"Ha, Ha very funny Vi." Sebastian said.

Just then Olivia walked up trying to muffle her laughter and said, "Good going out there."

When Olivia said that Duke and Viola started a fresh round of laughter.

"You guys all need help. I'm going to get some music going." Sebastian said walking away with Olivia following behind him trying not to laugh anymore.

"So that was fun." Duke said trying not to state the obvious but Viola quickly pointed it out.

"So even with Sebastian I still managed to beat you." Viola said laughing.

"Shut up that isn't fair." Duke said.

"How isn't that fair, I do believe I gave you the upper edge by putting Sebastian on my team." Viola said laughing.

Duke didn't say anything but picked Viola up and threw her over the shoulder and brought her out into the water and dumped her when the water was deep enough.

Viola came up from the water and had a shocked expression on her face and Duke started to laugh at her.

"I can't believe you just did that." Viola said.

"Well I figure if you wanted something to laugh at it should at least be something funny." Duke said.

Viola splashed him in the face and dove under the water and pulled Dukes feet out from under him. When Duke come back up Viola started to laugh, "Now that was funny."

Just then Yvonne, Kia Paul and Andrew showed up and challenged Duke and Viola to a chicken fight.

Duke and Viola agreed and Viola got up on Duke's shoulder's and the six of them carried around and were joined by some other couples who thought it looked like fun. They carried around for quite a while until the sun started to down.

Viola grabbed her towel out of her bag and wrapped it around her and went to stand by the fire to dry off. Duke came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her.

"We kicked butt out there didn't we babe." Duke said laughing.

"We did, except those two times you dropped me, although its kinda funny, the times you dropped me no one was near us. Kinda suspicious don't you think." Viola said laughing.

"I guess I'm a sore loser." Duke said laughing.

"You're just not use to it, but you better get use to it with me around." Viola said laughing.

"Kinda full of yourself aren't we." Duke said.

"You better believe it." Viola said heading over to her bag and putting her sweater and shorts on.

Just then Sebastian's band started to play filling the whole beach with music from the speakers that they had set earlier.

When a slow song came up Duke took Viola's hand and asked, "You wanna dance?"

"Do you even need to ask?" Viola said smiling and following Duke to where other couples were dancing in the sand.

"So Duke, what are your plans for Christmas?" Viola asked him.

"Nothing at all, probably go to either Toby's or Andrew's seeing the school closes down." Duke said.

"Not going to your parents?" Viola asked kinda shocked, although she doesn't always get along with her parents she couldn't imagine Christmas without them.

"There are going to Europe with some friends." Duke seeing the shocked expression on Viola's face said, "Its nothing, they do this every year, Christmas isn't a big thing in my family."

"Well then its settle." Viola said smiling up at Duke.

"What's settled?" Duke asked.

"You are going to spend Christmas with me and Sebastian at my place." Viola said.

"What about your parents." Duke asked, he liked the idea of spending all of Christmas with Viola but he didn't want to impose on her family.

"Don't worry about them, they won't mind." Viola said smiling. "Believe me if you can handle two weeks in a house with my mother I know nothing will scare you away."

"Your mother's not that bad." Duke said remember meeting her at the debutante ball.

"You'll see, you met her for a few minutes, this will be two weeks." Viola said laughing.

"So Christmas at your place huh?" Duke said smiling and kissing Viola. "You're the best girlfriend."

"I know." Viola said laughing then added, "Your not to bad your self."

Duke just laughed and picked Viola up and swung her around.

"I love you Viola." Duke said when he put her down.

"Love you too Duke." Viola said.
