I worked my ass off on the pitch. Duke was awesome as were some of the other guys trying out, but then there were some trying out who should really stick to things they know. At 5"8, I didn't really feel at a disadvantage there but some of the guys were so powerful and strong which was shown by their rippling muscles. I saw some hunky bodies as the Coach did shirts and skins; I narrowly escaped being a skin, coming up with some excuse of having a skin condition. It was a shitty excuse but the Coach finally bought it.

By the end of the try-out I was sweating profusely and still trying to catch my breath. Whilst Duke, Andrew and Toby looked as cool as a cucumbers. The coach spilt us up to first and second string, he pondered about my placing for quite some time until he gave me a first string shirt and grunted 'Better not let me down', then he called us to the showers.

'What?' I asked, I was confused and then I got the gist as everyone taking off their clothes in the changing room.

I was facing the lockers and didn't dare look about me. I was saved by the coach when he shouted that the principal wanted to see me. I heaved a sigh of relief and fled out of the changing room with the naked men – Kia's dream; my nightmare.

As I found my way towards the principal's office, I began to get worried. Had I been found out? I hadn't thought about my brother's file or anything like that. I was surely caught but before I could run away, the principal popped his head out of his office and ushered me in.

I sat opposite him as he flicked through my file, talking to himself and smiling all the time.

'Well, Mr Hastings.' Principal Gold said becoming ultra-serious which scared me. 'I pay close attention to transfer students as I was a transfer student myself. Everything looks in order. I just bought you in hear to say welcome.'

Then he started singing 'Welcome to Illyria' which made me distinctly uncomfortable but I pulled a smile.

'Thank you, sir.' I said. 'I need to go, I really need a shower.'

'Of course! Go clean and scrub yourself.' Principal Gold said, showing me out. 'Bye Sebastian.'

'Bye, sir.' I said hurriedly, closing the door behind me and started rushing off.

I wasn't looking where I was going and crashed into someone. Papers went flying and I landed on my ass. All in all not good. I looked up and saw that it was worse as I realised I had crashed into a very beautiful blond who was on her ass as well. I crawled onto my knees and hurriedly collected her papers, apologizing over and over again, not really listening to her assurance that it was OK.

That's when the principal's door was flung open and Principal Gold looked down at us uncertainly.

'Getting to know the other sex, I see.' Principal Gold said, I blushed and stuttered a reply. 'No, no. It's OK. Just remember abstinence. Abstinence is key.'

Principal Gold closed the door. I rolled my eyes at the girl who smiled. I passed her the papers and then helped her up.

'Is he always so friendly?' I asked.

'Are you kidding? That's him being rude!' She said, and then she held out her hand. 'Olivia Lennox.'

I didn't notice the hand straight away as I was… checking her out. I couldn't believe it myself but I was looking her up and down.. She was slim, with gorgeous blonde hair and perfect green eyes.

'Sorry, what?' I asked, flustered as she was staring at me when I looked into her eyes.

'I'm Olivia Lennox.' She said, her hand still out, which I took.

'Sebastian Hastings.' I said, I looked down at our holding hands and realised I was holding the hand for a little long and quickly retracted it. 'Sorry.'

'It's OK.' Olivia said with a small laugh.

'Anyway.' I said, wanting to get away from her as she was confusing my especially as we were so close to her and I could smell her perfume, also I must have smelt and looked terrible. 'I've got to go. I'll see you around Olivia.'

I was about to leave when I saw her shoes, they were too nice to ignore and I had to pay a compliment to Olivia.

'Cute shoes.' I said without thinking.

'Oh, thanks.' Olivia said, looking a little confused but pleased.

'Where did you get them?' I asked, again without thinking and mentally slapped myself. 'I mean-'

'No, it's cool. I got them at the Anthropology.' Olivia said, who didn't seem fazed that a guy was asking about her shoes as if it was an everyday occurrence.

'See ya, got to do… guy stuff.' I said fleetingly and strolled away from her, but I couldn't resist looking over my shoulder at her retreating back and I'm embarrassed to say that I checked out her bum.

God! Disguised as a guy for a few hours and I'm already acting like one. I felt weird when I thought about Olivia, it was something different and most definitely new.
