Disclaimer: I don't own She's The Man.

This chapter is dedicated to: girlz-rule! BTW the answer was Ducati (which I don't own, but it looked really good on Duke!)

Last Time on Kickin' Love To The Curb:

"Yeah, he's right here." And we both lean in this time to kiss until we heard the commotion taking place inside. Both of us rush in and see the person we thought was gone forever.

"ANDREW?!"


Viola's POV:

"No way...did he really punch Andrew?" Olivia asks in shock. Even on the phone, Olivia tends to be obvious with her emotions.

"Well, not punched literally, but he made him feel bad."

"Why didn't you try to stop it?"

"Maybe because I was also in this fight for some reason."

Flashback

"ANDREW?!?!"

"Duke! Viola! Long time no see..."

"You got that right." Duke mutters under his breath.

"Duke, just calm down. This is front of a lot of people...don't do anything to ruin your image." I say sternly.

"So how have you been, Duke and Viola?"

"Get out of my face now. I can't believe you came back, jerk." Duke says aggressively.

"Duke, act civil. I've been fine, Andrew...how have you been?"

"I've been fine."

"Where have you been?"

"Around the world...it's been a roller coaster these few years."

"You're probably wondering how I'm in this wheelchair, huh?"

"No." He says softly. "Viola, I know what happened...I'm sorry I wasn't there."

"No, don't blame yourself for that...don't. It's not your fault this all happened."

"No, he should blame himself for your accident. He was supposed to protect you." Duke says bitterly. "I can't believe you had the nerve to come back here. You're not welcomed here anymore."

"And why is that, Orsino?"

"Don't you even make me say it."

"Go ahead, we all know it's not true. Well not all of us exactly, only you don't know."

"Ok...what the heck is going on?" I ask irritated.

"He slept with you, huh?" Duke asks coldly.

"Excuse me?"

"Did you and Andrew sleep together?" Now the crowd was crowding around our growing drama.

"I don't know what you are even talking about, Duke."

"Exactly my point, me and Viola never slept with each other. Everybody knows that it was a rumor and you still hold this grudge against me for it. I never slept with her and I never started that rumor to build up my rep."

"Wait, is this why you stopped all contact with me after the game?"

"Viola..." Duke says quietly.

"Answer the question." Now it was my turn for bitterness.

"I don't have to give you a freakin' answer."

"Well, I don't see why I have to even answer your question." I say slyly.

"So you slept with him?"

"I don't know, who do you trust? The student body or your best friend and girlfriend?"

"He's not my best friend anymore."

"Gosh, Duke, stop acting like a teenage girl. Viola and I never did anything together."

"I should believe the guy who left after this rumor started? Don't you think that made me a little suspicious?"

"I had to leave."

"Duke, just stop it now. Don't let your ignorance be the ruin of you."

"I'm leaving...Viola, take a ride home with Andrew...maybe he'll hit on you again or maybe you can actually sleep together again. Have fun!" He says sarcastically.

"Duke, stop being immature."

"Just go with him, I can't even stand looking at you right now."

With that, he stormed out and left all of us in shock or in mine and Andrew's case, fury.

End of Flashback

"He told you he couldn't stand looking at you?" Olivia asks.

"Hold on, Mo is on the other line...let me do a three way call."

"Hello ladies."

"What the heck? How did you do that, Mo?" I ask surprised.

"Ahh...I have the power of three way. Amazing, isn't it?"

"Ok, Mo...Duke told Viola he couldn't stand looking at her."

"What is wrong with him? What happened?"

"Ok...long story, short...Andrew came back and he and Duke got in a conversation, well more of a verbal fight. And then Duke asked me if Andrew and I slept with each other...which is ridiculous!"

"So has he called you to say sorry yet?" Olivia asked.

"No, knowing Duke...he'll probably let his ego get the best of him."

"I have a plan!" Monique shouts through the phone.

"What is it?"

"I'm planning to meet Toby this afternoon...I'll invite Duke and you'll invite Andrew. Olivia, you come with Sebastian. Gosh knows when he'll stop avoiding me." Olivia and I start laughing...Sebastian still avoids Monique till this day after all the things she did in high school.

"And how do you know this plan is going to work?" I ask.

"Because you and Andrew will pretend to flirt, making Duke jealous and realize how much he misses you. Typical scene from a movie."

"Fine...but now I'm gonna have to go call Andrew, so see you at Cesario's in the evening."

"Bye Vi."


"Hello?"

"Hey Andrew, it's Viola."

"Hey Vi, what's up? Wild dance last night right?"

"Indeed...so I need your help with something."

"Ahh, why else would you call?" He says jokingly.

"Well, all of us are meeting at Cesario's tonight and Duke is going to be there. And he's still not talking to me, so can you pretend to flirt with me?"

"Woahh, slow down...pretend to flirt with you? I think last night was bad, this is way worse than bad."

"C'mon! Please...and if he punches you, I'll let you have Kia's number."

"Ooh...a very good compromise. But what happens if he doesn't punch me, can I still have the number?"

"Sure...she's been wondering where you've been for years. At least that's off my back."

"Well, then Hastings...we have a deal."

"Alright...Cesario's tonight. I'll see you there."

"Yes, you will." He says and hangs up.


"Hey guys!" I say as I get off my wheelchair and slide into our old booth.

"Vi!" Sebastian says. "Where have you been? We've missed you...I haven't seen you in like years."

"Ok, who let Sebastian drink early?"

"Might as well do it now than later when Olivia is going to put him into shape." Toby says cleverly.

"Hey!" Olivia shouts.

"Well, well...if it isn't your prince charming walking through the doors right now." Monique says diabolically.

"Hey guys." Duke says and looks up and sees me. "Ok, I'm leaving."

"Dude, what's wrong? Why won't you talk to my sister? She looks hot tonight, doesn't she?" Sebastian says drunkenly.

"Oh my gosh! Did he just call me hot? Toby, I'm gonna kill you." I say.

"Anyways, I'm leaving...I don't want to be in front of a cheater."

"Dude, just stay..." Toby pleads and gives a pout. Everyone starts laughing and Duke gives in and slides in the seat next to Sebastian.

Just then Andrew walks in and waves at me. I wave back and Duke turns to look at who I'm waving at. When I look at him, he looks like he's about to explode or on the verge of killing Andrew.

"Hey guys and gals! What's been up?" Andrew says trying to get rid of the awkward silence. There's only two seats left and one's next to Duke and the other is next to me. Andrew's never been a great person to make choices especially in this case. He chose to sit next to Duke, who is red in the face and ready to leave.

"Nothing much, Andrew..." Toby says, but trails off.

"So, Viola...you look hot tonight." He says charmingly. "Wanna come to my place later?" He says with a wink and I giggle. Everybody starts looking away and Duke is staring intently at Andrew and at me.

"So..." Olivia says trying to break the silence.

"Back away from my girl." Duke says threateningly.

"From what I remember, you left her last night all alone at the dance...and I think you kind of dumped her too."

"She's my girl."

"Well, she's nobody's girl. She can be with whoever she wants to be with."

"Yeah, Andrew's right...I'm nobody's girl. Duke, you left me yesterday...so I'm not your girl. Do you think I'll actually run back to you after what you said?"

"Viola..."

"No, I'm leaving...I don't even know why I even let you explain...you just give some barbaric answer."

"Viola, I didn't mean to say..."

"Goodbye Duke."


Aww...sad ending for Duke and Viola, but I can say it will get better soon.

Trivia time!!

At the carnival, which ride does Viola use to change on (hint: it's not the jumper)?

Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed the chapter!
