The next day Sebastian went out somewhere, probably somewhere to play his guitar. Duke was in his room reading yet again another magazine when there was a knock on the door. He got up and Andrew and Toby came in.
"Hey man." Toby said while Andrew went straight ahead to playing the video games.
"Hey." Duke said as he shut the door then plopped down on his bed.
Toby noticed something was off with Duke, "Hey is something up?"
Duke looked up, "No, just got a lot of things on my mind."
Toby then realized what it was, "Oh, in other words Viola." Toby said playfully.
Duke them got embaressed, but hid it from his friends. "Knock it off man."
"C'mon, she is totally hot, and we saw the way you looked at her yesterday." Toby said back.
Duke rolled his eyes to his friend, even though he had to admit that it was true. "Whatever."
Toby returned to his video games, which left Duke to ponder on his thoughts.
Maybe I should go see Viola, I mean what would hurt to ask her out. Sebastian already said that he would be fine with it, he thought. He then looked at the piece of paper on the small desk between his and Sebastian's beds. He picked it up and looked at the address. It wasn't that far away, he thought to himself. He then got up and put the piece of paper with her address in his pocket, he grabbed his coat and headed for the door.
Andrew saw Duke leaving, "Where you going man?"
Duke turned around, "Um... I've just gotta take care of something, so don't trash the room." he said then continued walking out the door. He hopped on his motorcycle and starting driving to the address. He pulled up to the house, he waited a minute before getting off, mostly because he was really nervous. He then walked up to the door, he stood in front of the door, right when he was about to knock a voice called out to him.
"No one's inside!" The voice yelled out.
Duke looked around, he then saw a lady on the other side of the fence, it was their neighbor. "Oh, ok." He said confused, he was just about to walk away when the lady yelled out again.
"You're here for Viola aren't you?" She yelled out.
Duke turned around, "H...How'd you know?" he asked.
"Well you looked like her age." She said. "Well anyway she's in the back, I don't think she'll mind if you just go back there."
"Oh, ok thanks, I guess." Duke said while he head for the back yard. He reached the fence and opened the gate to see her kicking her soccer ball around.
ooooooooooooooooooOooooooooooOoooooooooooOooooooooo
Kia and Yvonne left by nine-thirty, and Viola was really tired but yet she couldn't get to sleep, all she could do was think about Duke. Maybe Kia and Yvonne are right, I should just ask him out, she thought to herself. Ok, next time I see him I'll just ask him out, as long as Sebastian isn't like right there, she said to herself. After awhile she fell asleep, but around nine-fifteen in the morning she was awaken by her mother knocking on her door. Viola put her pillow over her head and tried to ignore it but she couldn't, because her mother eventually walked in.
"What are you doing still in bed?" she said pulling Viola out of bed. "Come down stairs I have a suprise for you."
Viola groaned, "Mom I don't really feel like one of your suprises right now." she said as her mother dragged her down the stairs.
"Oh, please." she begged her daughter as they reached the bottom of the stairs.
Viola sighed, "Fine okay whatever."
Her mother smiled and covered Viola's eyes, and they walked into the living room. Her mother removed her hands and walked ran over to the couch. "Okay, open you eyes."
Viola opened her eyes, when she saw what was laying on the couch. Viola just stood there in disgust, there were at least five dresses each one even more revolting as the last."Mom," she moaned. "No, no way."
"Viola honey, can't you just imagine yourself walking down the isle in a beautiful dress." Her mother said.
"Yah," Viola said with a perky smile, "With a noose around my neck because you'll have to kill me get make me wear one of those... Those ruffled window curtains." Viola said while walking back up to her room.
"Viola, please just think about it." Her mother said.
"Yah, sure whatever." she said not even turning back.
"Well honey I've got to do some things so I'll see you later," She said perky, while Viola shut her room door.
Viola fell down on her bed and put her head in her hands. She then lifted her hands and saw her soccer ball laying on the floor, she got up and grabbed it. She then headed down stairs and to the back yard. She started kicking the ball against the fence, then she picked up the ball and started bouncing it on her knee. I can't believe she actually thinks she can get me into one of those dresses, she said to herself. She then dropped the ball kicking it around, until she heard a noise behind her, she turned around to see Duke at the gate. She didn't know what to say, earlier she just told herself that the next time that she saw him that she would ask him out, was this supposed to be her chance? "Hey." was all she could think to say.
"Hey." he said back. Okay, this is it just go up to her and ask her out, he thought to himself. "So whatcha doing?" he asked trying to start a conversation.
"Umm..." she said looking at the ball on the ground. "Just clearing my head."
Okay, just do it. "So..." he was cut off by Viola.
"Do you want to go out tonight?" she said quickly.
Duke looked at her and was about to laugh because he was just about to ask her out. "Really?"
"Yah... I know we don't really know each other, but I don't maybe we could just go out." she said. Oh no, he doesn't think it's a good idea, she thought to herself.
"Sure." He said. I can't believe it was that easy. "But the truth is, I actually came over here to ask you out." He said said as he became embaressed.
Viola slightly laugh and was joined by Duke. "Well I guess, great minds think alike." She said.
