-Chapter Three-

Now, Viola wasn't really a girl that hated much in life unless it was being roped into doing the whole Debutant thing, being told that she wasn't really a girl because she enjoyed things that guys do, her mom trying to control her life, her ex-boyfriend, stuck up bitches like Sebastian's ex-girlfriend, Monique; and in this particular case she was steamed because the one thing she hated over and above else was being told or underestimated that she couldn't play soccer as well as the guys.

"But coach, she's a girl," was what she heard from half of the males when she came to try out.

"Listen here you Pansies," the soccer coach, Coach Dinklage, said coming to Viola's defense, "Here at Illyria we don't discriminate against girls and if your gonna do just that then get the hell off my soccer field. The rest of you pansies stretch out your arms and legs and then run around the soccer field until I tell you stop."

"Yes, sir" they all replied and Viola nodded following the guys to stretch.

All of the males while they were stretching watched in amazement as the girl kept quiet for a lot of them held that clique, girls never quite talking, near and dear in their hearts. They all were amazed at how when they went to stretch out each leg, individually, that when she put both hands down around her soccer cleat clad foot and bent forward, her back allowed her head to move all the way down so her forehead could touch her knee on her right leg before moving on to do the same with her left leg.

When they moved onto doing their lower back stretches, they all still couldn't take their eyes off of her as she sat with her legs straight out in front of her body before she bend her right knee over he laying flat, left leg so the sole of her foot was flat on the ground before she turned her upper body towards her right knee. Placing her right hand on the floor behind her for support, she then took her left forearm and placed it on the outside of her right knee and gently began pulling her knee towards herself, which she was very good at and seeing as she could stretch her upper body pretty well it showed how even more flexible she was.

But they really found out how flexible she was during the squatting leg-out adductor stretches that made you stand with your feet wide apart, and keeping one leg straight and your toes pointing forward, you needed to bend the other leg and turn your toes to point out to the side, all the while lowering yourself towards the ground and resting your hands on your bent knee of the ground; and she could lower herself all the way to the ground, but they just figured it was because she didn't have anything to worry about hurting in the middle.

The coach knowing his team the way he knew them, smirked knowing by the looks of this girl, she was gonna prove them wrong throughout the whole practice, which made him really start liking this girl, especially when she was one of the first two always in front of the pack of males as they ran around the soccer field seven times.

SHE'S*THE*MAN*SHE'S*THE*MAN

"She's hot," Toby said as he and Duke along with their other best friend, walked over to their water bottles when the coach told them to get a drink while he talked with his assistant coaches, telling them what they needed to do.

"She's a definite off the charts hot," Andrew replied as they stopped at their water bottles.

Duke just stayed silent as he watched the blonde haired soccer player make her way towards her Northern Carolina blue duffle bag and pulled out a bottle of Aquafina water, taking large gulps of it before heading back towards the coach, who was waiting on them.

Who is this girl? He thought before he went to stand in the front of the two lines the coach asked them to form. Standing in the front of the line, he and everyone else watched as the coach walked down in front of them, looking at each player in the front and back rows, making various comments and Viola took it as a sign when he didn't say anything to her.

"Okay, shirts and skins," the coach replied, blowing his whistle.

Everyone of the males stopped and watched to see what option the female would go for and when she went for skin, they all stared at her flat stomach where the abs were visible and the white sports bra before she ran off to the start of the obstacle-like course the coaching staff set up for them.

"Stop staring at the girl, and get going," Coach Dinklage told them and blowing his whistle for good measure he said, "Again shirts and skins. Let's go."

Soon three hours later, Coach Dinklage saw everything he needed to see, so he decided to end the boys and Viola's suffering from the pushups they were doing.

During the whole obstacle course, the coaching staff watched as the female beat out and kept up with the males, who were also amazed. And when it came time for a little one on one, Toby was paired up with Viola while the others watched from the sidelines, awaiting their time.

"Alright the first one to ten, all regulation rules apply so now dirty work," Coach Dinklage told them and after telling them which net was whose, he blew the whistle letting the match begin.

They watched as Toby allowed her to have the ball and before they could blink, she was going fast down the field with the ball always staying under control. Some of the males cheered Toby on as he tried to steal the ball on it, but couldn't for Viola, seeing him concentrating hard on the ball, quickly did a Scissor combined with a Feint Shot. They watched as she followed it up with moving her right foot to push the black and white octagon patterned ball to the right then, casually using the inside of her right foot to take it to the left, before finally making a goal with the goalie not even touching it.

"Dude, what's Sebastian doing here?" Andrew asked Duke, once they heard clapping and looked up towards the stand, seeing Duke's new roommate.

"I have no idea." Duke replied as he continued to watch as the girl used not only tricks, but fancy foot work and speed all the while reading her opponent, making sure that when Toby went for the ball, she kept it away from him, but when Toby did get the ball and whenever he was close to making a goal, he always lost it due to the female's fancy footwork, speed, and tactic.

Standing in the middle of the circle they had form, Coach Dinklage walked around in the middle with his hands behind as he started to talk, "I've seen a lot of energy, commitment out there today, and that makes me proud. Now, I want to split this up into first string and second string, you second stringers don't take it too hard. You're just as much a part of this team as the first stringers, apart from playing the game part."

As the coach started to call out the names of the second stringers and giving them their yellow mesh shirts, Viola silently closed her eyes and prayed that she made the team, and when her name didn't get called for second string, she opened her eyes and kept praying as he started to list off the first string players, "Orsino….McLaren…Murray….Hastings, first string."

Viola smiled brightly and across the field she heard her brother cheering for her so once the coach dismissed them, Viola bolted towards her twin who was already back down on the ground.

"Hey, guys look," Toby told his best friends, nodding towards the girl as she ran towards Duke's roommate.

They all watched as she jumped into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist as he began to twirl her around to cause her to laugh loudly before she jumped off of him and high fived him.

"You were amazing little sister. I'm so proud of you!" Sebastian, Viola's number one supporter and support system, told her smiling brightly as they stopped so Viola could change out of her cleats and into her sandals. She smiled when Sebastian took her duffle bag and threw the strap over his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders, leading her towards the female dorms, but not before he gave her a high five.

"Now, I wonder how they know each other?" Andrew wondered aloud as they headed towards their dorms also.

"Dude's he's probably just dating her or is friends with her," Duke told his best friend, feeling something he never felt before and wondering what it was.

"Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good, and sometimes it's true that it's not difficult, but when discrimination comes into play, it proves to be more difficult to prove and a harder problem to solve than HIV/AIDS or cancer could ever be. STOP DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMEN!"
