Thanks for the reviews. Enjoy.
A/N It's gonna be a long story, and I'm really going to try to finish it. But I need your reviews! Things will definitely be fixed between Duke and Viola, but it's gonna take quite some time.
Viola and the soccer team left before Duke and his friends. Duke watched them leave. With them gone, it was a lot quieter. Soon Duke, Toby and Andrew decided it was time to leave. Duke's mind kept replaying the incident in Cesario's. He couldn't stop what that guy said. Heard you got dumped, Orsino. Did Duke really get dumped or did they break up? She did say she never wanted to see him again. Duke sighed. Life was hard. But there were other things on his mind pushing his thoughts of Viola out of the spotlight. College. He really wanted to get into North Carolina. He was told by Coach Dinklage he had a fair chance and Duke remembered how he shouted at Viola that you need to be good and can't depend on luck.
The next morning, Viola got ready to go to the mall. She put on a pair of skinny jeans and and a light blue camisole on with this huge blue shirt on top. It kept slipping off her shoulders. She was ready so she grabbed her bag and was off. Viola met up with Olivia at the nail place as they promised. Viola arrived two minutes late and Olivia was there, hands on her hips. "Geez Olivia. I'm only late by like two seconds," Viola said but she couldn't help noticing the smile on Olivia's face.
Olivia couldn't take it anymore. She burst out laughing as she dragged Viola to the receptionist's table. A blond haired girl was sitting there. "Hi. What will it be today girls?" Viola was about to say she wasn't interested in getting her nails done or anything but before she could even open her mouth, Olivia spoke on behalf of them. "Hmmm. I really want a pedicure. How does that sound, Viola?" Olivia paused for a millisecond. Before Viola could argue, Olivia continued talking. "Oh and my nails. So it'll be pedicure and manicure for the both of us." The blond girl nodded. She typed some things up and paused to look up at them. She asked, "Pedicure and manicure for the two of you? Gotcha." Olivia nodded excitedly while Viola stood there with a bored expression until Olivia nudged her in the ribs. She smiled sweetly. "Yep! We're super duper excited!" She grumbled a few words of complaint that Olivia couldn't hear.
They took a seat down in the two chair and soaked their feet in this hot, sweet smelling, foot tub. Viola told Olivia about last night. "Yep, I totally dumped the soda and ice-cream on that jerk's head." Olivia laughed. She knew Viola had trouble controlling her mouth sometimes but her actions? She had no idea. "So what exactly did this guy say to you to make you so angry?" Viola froze. She looked down for a second. She took a deep breath and looked at Olivia.
"Well he didn't really say anything to me," Viola started slowly.
"Well what did he say to someone that made you so angry?" Olivia wanted to know.
"He reminded Duke about how he got dumped," she said quite quickly.
Olivia laughed. "Defending him now, are you?"
"Shut up. If you were there, in my situation, you would have done the same. It wasn't like I dumped him or he dumped me. I'm sick of everybody saying things like that! It's getting to me!"
"Wow, it really must be getting to you, after all you're as thick as a rock!" They both laughed and chose their nail polish colors.
An hour later, Viola and Olivia had brand new nails. Olivia got pink on her toes and pink on her fingernails with all this glitter and detailed design. Viola, however didn't. She stayed very simple, but looked good as well. On her toes and fingers she had light blue then dark blue. It was a pattern that matched her outfit. "Nice," commented Olivia and they headed up to pay.
Viola payed first and while Olivia was paying, Viola stood near the couch. A person sitting on the couch noticed Viola's toes. Light blue, dark blue, light blue, dark blue. It made him dizzy. "Nice toes," he said looking up to see a smiling brunette. She smiled even wider. "Thanks," she said. Viola decided to have some fun with this guy. She went on.
"So you come here often?" she said with a silly grin. She was aware that he was a guy and not many, in fact none that Viola could think of, came to get their nails done.
He laughed, getting her joke. "Nah. My mother told me to get her a reservation. What about you?"
"My friend somehow dragged me into this."
"So you're a tomboy?"
"Well not exactly. I'm just not a girly-girl like her." She put on a high-pitched, fake giggle. Viola continued to flirt with the hot guy until Olivia pulled her away. Viola, quite upset about being jerked away apologized to him. "Well I got to go! Nice meeting you!" As soon as they were out of the nail place, she furiously demanded, "What was that for?"
Olivia was in a sticky situation. She could say "Because you have a boyfriend" because Viola didn't have a boyfriend. She made up a quick exscuse. "Because the guys in that CD store are much cuter." It was true. The four guys in the CD store were cute.
Viola laughed. "Don't you have a boyfriend?"
"Well, what Sebastian doesn't know, won't hurt him," Olivia said laughing along. They headed over to the CD store. Olivia knew they couldn't just barge in and go up to them and say, "We think you're hot and we want to flirt with you." Viola knew that as well. She told Olivia, "Just follow my lead. If you're as smart as I think, you'll catch on."
Viola entered the CD store and they head to the aisle near the guys. Viola started walking backwards towards the guys so she could stay facing Olivia and talk to her. "I think that CD is over here, Liv!" she called out to her friend. Olivia knew exactly where Viola was taking this. She nodded and played along. "Yeah. I'm pretty sure as well. Well I'll look over here!" And on cue, Viola bumped into one of the guys (the hottest one) and his stack of CDs and DVDs fell to the floor. She bent down straight away to pick them up. "Sorry. My bad. I'm clumsy sometimes," She said gathering the the cases. Luckily none of them broke. He got down to help her. Their eyes met. "It's alright. Nothing is broken, it's clear." He grinned. The girl who bumped into his was really pretty.
They picked up all the CDs and Olivia came over and pretended to want to know what all the commotion was about. One of the guys noticed how pretty she was. "Hey Vi. What's up? Oh hey." she pretended to notice the other guys. They just talked for a bit about music when the guys asked. "We're getting pretty hungry. Wanna join us?" Viola and Olivia nodded. Olivia was happy Viola's plan worked. The guy who noticed Olivia before went up to her. "Olivia right?" he remembered from their conversation about music. They had introduced themselves. The blond was Olivia, the brunette Viola. Viola turned around who was talking and walking with James, the guy she accidentally-on-purpose bumped into. "Sorry dude, she has a boyfriend." Viola laughed. She loved torturing Olivia just as much as she loved torturing Sebastian. They all laughed.
They walked to the food court and bought food. They talked and talked about random things and Viola and Olivia found they were seniors as well, getting ready for college. They finished eating and Viola and Olivia looked around the stores, the guys closely behind them. Viola and Olivia tried on clothes at numerous different stores and they had a little display for the guys. They guys told them what looked good on them and what didn't.
They were in one of the newest stores at the mall which was clothing for guys and girls. Viola and Olivia were trying on some outfits. Viola came out first in overall-shorts with a blue shirt underneath. Olivia followed with a peach colored skirt and a white top.
"Nice Olivia. You get a 10/10 from me," the guy who noticed Olivia said. His name was Jackson.
Rick, one of the guys said, "Dude, you've given her a 10/10 for everything. No offense, it makes you look peachy. Take my advice, not Romeo's."
James commented on Viola's outfit. "Looking good. The blue goes well with your nails." They went to get changed back to there normal clothes and came out. Viola decided to buy her outfit. Olivia took Rick's advice and decided not to buy it. After Viola finished paying, she and Oliva exchanged a look.
"It's your turn!" they said together, laughing. They dragged them over to the guys section taking clothes off racks and holding them up agaisnt them. They shoved clothes at them to try on. They went mad. Viola found fun choosing a guy's clothes rather than her own. The guys got tried on their outfits doing pretending to be a model for the girls. The girls laughed and gave comments to their clothes just like them.
When Viola and Olivia decided they were finished, the guys were exhausted. "It was fun hanging out and meeting," Olivia said.
They nodded. "We'll have to jump on MySpace or something." James said.
Viola grabbed a pen from her bag. She and Olivia exchanged screenames and numbers with them. "Yeah, we'll have to jump on MySpace or something." Viola said smiling. Then Olivia and Viola left the mall with their nails dones, bags of clothes in their hands and their wallets feeling lighter.
I hope you like that chapter. Don't worry Viola/Duke fans out there. The other guys were just a fun little one-shot. Nothing big. They probably won't appear or even be mentioned in any other chapter, so no worries! Why would I do that? Duke and Viola are like one of my fave pairings! Well I hoped you enjoyed this chapter and I wanted Viola to be flirty, after all she doesn't have a boyfriend anymore.
