Chapter 2: Not So Welcomed
"Hi…" Viola began still trying to catch her breath as her gaze stood fixed on the guy in front of her
She didn't like him, she barley knew him. Scratch that she DIDN'T know him… at all. Besides she had a boyfriend. Why did she always have to remind herself of that? Why couldn't that fact just stay stuck in her head? She shouldn't need to constantly remind herself of Justin, she should just know. Last note, this guy. Orsino as Justin had gritted through teeth many times. Was their enemy, her enemy. This could not go any further.
"I'm guessing I've got the wrong locker room." she slowly followed Duke's nod
Why is he so quiet? Hasn't he ever seen a girl before? That or he's just being mean because he knows I go to Cornwall. Pig. Viola pulled herself out of thought.
"Well I better get on my way. Bye. And thanks, for catching me, would have been a hard fall."
She was half way down the hall when his voice stopped her.
"The guests locker room is the next hall down… you'll… you'll probably find who your…l-looking for." Duke managed to get out
Viola turned to face him.
"Thanks."
"Drayton right?" Duke called out stopping Viola again
Man let her go, you've already made a big enough fool out of yourself. Just let her walk away. Why did you say anything? She's walking back. Oh god. Duke let out an annoyed sigh, though directed at himself Viola shook her head thinking he was annoyed at her.
Did he just roll his eyes at me? Her thought demanded. PIG! What did I do? Accidentally knock on the wrong door, you'd think that for someone that just won he'd be a bit more pleasant. Stupid Illyrian thinks he's all that with his hard stomach and strong arms and…STOP!
"Pardon me?"
Duke struggled to find the words to say then finally let out a long sigh
"Your Justin Drayton's girl right?"
"Were in a relationship but I'm not his." Viola clarified
"Whatever."
That was rude. Both thought
"I mean, I'm sure you'll find him. Next hall." Duke restated
"Alright." Viola nodded, once reaching the end of the hall turned back at Duke who stood in the door frame messaging the temple of his head
"Orsino!"
Duke's head jolted up.
"Not a half bad game, but I think you could have done without the bicycle trick."
"The what?"
"The flip." Viola waved both arms from back to front for emphasis then turned the corner in search of…something.
"Pshhhh" Duke slightly smiled shaking his head. He just had a conversation… well sort of with a girl. Worst part, she was from Cornwall. No one could find out about this. Not even his friends Andrew and Toby. Not like they'd ever believe him though. Duke Orsino talk to a girl? Right.

Viola continued down the large stadium hall. She had just talked to an Illyrian guy. Well not everyone would call that talking but close enough. Still, he was an Illyrian, the captain of the soccer team at that? So wrong on many different levels. No one could know about it, she'd be out an our cast for sure. Considered a traitor. Just from a two second talk, well no. But she would be out casted if anyone ever found out that she was still thinking about him. Not to mention she had a boyfriend…JUSTIN!
Viola whipped around to see where she was. She must have passed the guest locker room a while ago because she was back at the ticket line. How could she let herself get so far off track. It was him. No. She would not allow herself to get lost in nothing. Not Viola Hastings. Besides she had a boyfriend.
"Vi?" a glum Justin shook his head
"Hey." Viola's voice immediately dropped to a sympathetic tone
"What are you still doing here?"
A surprise came over Viola
"Well were dating, remember?"
Justin smiled a bit
"You mean your not mad like that rest of school?"
"Mad? You guys did your best." she tried to console
"Our best? That wasn't our best. That was crap! You know where better it just all gets fucked when we play!"
His outburst caused Viola to jump back a bit.
"I'm… I'm sorry. I just wanna go home."
"Well I'll come with…"
"No." Justin cut her off
"I wanna go home by myself."
"Justin…"
"Vi! Please." His eyes begged
"Ok. Call me if you…" It was no use, Justin kept walking not paying any attention to what else she had to say.
In a way Viola understood his need to be alone. When she was that pissed she didn't want anyone around, except him that is. No matter what the situation Viola always made sure that Justin or one close friend was there. Why wasn't he like that? She wondered so often.
His car started as he pulled out of park. Not even a glance to say goodbye. Nothing. Lately it seemed like their relationship came 2nd or 3rd compared to other things. Unless they were with a bunch of guys, then all of a sudden she became his girl. Where he was the dominate party.
As she watched his car leave the now empty parking lot Viola realised that she had arrived with Justin. Quickly turning around to see if anyone was left, anyone that wasn't from Illyria or supported them. Nothing. So she pulled out her cell and clicked speed dial.
"…Paul, can you come get me?"

Chaos. But a good kind. That was the only way t describe what was going on around Duke. Everyone was overjoyed with the victory, some were drunk others just high off the feel of winning. Again. Though it wasn't a first time or even a championship victory everyone partied as if one had taken place.
Duke, Toby and Andrew stood at the bar in Cesario's. Watching the madness explode and joining in every once in a while.
"Cheers, to our leader, our captain, our brother…" Toby began and wiped away fake tears as his voice whimpered
"Man, shut up." Duke laughed
"TO DUKE!" they all raised their glasses along with a few other people
"Thanks, I know without me you all would suck." the team laughed
"Hey Duke…" A red head smirked passing by them, her hand lightly grazing his shirt
Duke froze his mouth trying to get words out as Andrew and Toby contained themselves till she was out of earshot before hitting Duke upside his head.
"Dude she wants you, why. WHY. Didn't you follow her?" Andrew pulled on Duke's arm as Toby bit his fist
"I…what?" Duke shook out of his haze
"Mannnn, she's taken now. Duke. You GOTTA go after something tonight."
As if on cue in walked Olivia Lennox, Dukes crush for the past 3 years. Sweet, hot, smart, hot, down to earth and…hot. But not matter what completely unattainable. Mostly because she didn't even know Duke existed much less cared.
"Hey, she's coming over." Andrew hit the other two
"Nice game guys." Olivia spoke looking out on the whole team before sitting down at a booth
"Go for it."
"What!" Duke jumped
"Go talk to her."
"You both need to mind your own business."
"Fine if you wont then you wouldn't mind if I tried…" Toby began to walk towards her only being immediately pulled back by Duke
"Don't you even think bout it." Duke sharply said still holding onto Toby's collar
"I was just joking. Wow you got it bad."
"You mean he's had it bad. For three years" Andrew laughed
"When was the last time you talked to a hot girl Duke?"
"Today." IT SLIPPED, today? When today? The girl in the changing room? Duke panicked. How was he supposed to explain this? She fell into the wrong door, he helped her up she talked while thinking he was a freak for just standing there. He got out a few meaningless words then she was off. Not giving him a second thought. Oh yea and she went to Cornwall and was dating loser Justin Drayton.
That would go over REALL nice. Duke thought to himself. Besides why did that even come out? He was still thinking about her. Baddd idea. No to mention he never turned a glance towards rival girls. It just didn't work. Not like he'd even be able to talk to them if he did. In a way he did sort of talk to her, he got out a good two or three sentences without sounding completely stupid. That was a start.
"WHAT!" both Toby and Andrew choked at the same time
"What?" Duke replied looking at the two
"You don't think I can talk to a girl?"
"No."
"Are you sure she was a girl? Or did you maybe mix up a guy for a girl?"
"It was a girl." Duke rolled his eyes, sometimes he thought that maybe new friends were in order
"And she was hot?"
"I'm not getting into this."
"Ohh ok so in other words she looks like Eunice." Andrew nodded while pointing towards the girl in the booth, mouth covered in metal.
"HEY. Be nice to her." Toby demanded soon keeping quiet as the other two shook their heads
"Look I'm not gonna say because she's a taken girl. Besides I'm not just gonna forget about Olivia."
"Olivia? Man you don't have anything to forget anyway. It's not like you ever talked to her."
"What ever, lets just drop this."
"No, no my friend. Who is this mystery girl that's got you whip lashed?" Andrew mischievously smirked
"Alright" Duke sighed, why did he always cave? Did he just want to get the point across that Duke Orsino did in fact talk to girls? Or was he actually starting to like someone he didn't know?
"So who is?" Toby pressed on
"She's…"
"GUYS! Your never gonna believe this!" Mike, Illyria's goalie came running into Cesario's
Thank god for Mike, Duke smiled in a relief. For some reason he was just plain lucky in life. Always getting his butt saved by fate. Of coarse Duke's mood switched when he saw the look on Mike's face.
"What's up man?" the concerned looks began to spread as more and more people gathered around to listen
"Cornwall, its on fire." He spoke through breaths
