Meanwhile, her twin brother, Sebastian ( James Kirk ), is supposed to enroll in Illyria, an elite boarding school, but he secretly goes to London with his fledgling band instead. Viola agrees to cover for him and decides to pass herself off as Sebastian, in hopes of joining their boys ' team and beating Cornwall to prove their coach and her cocky ex-boyfriend, Justin ( Robert Hoffman ), wrong. With the help of her stylist friend, Paul ( Jonathan Sadowski ), she is transformed into `` Sebastian '' and attends Illyria in his place. While moving in, she meets her roommate, Duke Orsino ( Channing Tatum ), an attractive soccer player and Illyria 's team captain. During tryouts, Viola fails to impress Coach Dinklage ( Vinnie Jones ) and is assigned to second string, much to her dismay. Her teammates, including Duke, initially dislike `` Sebastian '' due to his awkward and strange behavior. However, with help from Paul once again, they begin to accept him into their social circle. `` Sebastian '' then gets the popular and pretty Olivia ( Laura Ramsey ) as his lab partner, which frustrates Duke, as he has feelings for her. `` Sebastian '' agrees to put in a good word for Duke if he promises to train him to be a better soccer player. Coach Dinklage eventually notices `` Sebastian 's '' effort and improvement, thus promoting him to first string. At the Junior League carnival, where her mother has made her volunteer, Viola works a shift at the kissing booth and shares a kiss with Duke. Duke expresses to `` Sebastian '' that he might move on from Olivia as he is starting to like Viola now. Viola is delighted as she secretly feels the same way. Olivia who now has a crush on `` Sebastian '', asks Duke out on a date in hopes that it will make `` Sebastian '' jealous. Viola, who is unaware of Olivia 's true intentions, is enraged instead because Duke has now abandoned his interest in Viola. When Viola finds out the truth, she encourages Olivia to tell `` Sebastian '' directly about her feelings. The situation becomes even more complicated when the real Sebastian returns from London a day early, unbeknownst to Viola. As soon as he arrives at Illyria, Olivia confesses her feelings and kisses him. Duke, seeing this, believes his roommate has betrayed him. When `` Sebastian '' returns to their room, the two have an argument and Duke kicks him out. Viola oversleeps and misses the first half of the game, while the real Sebastian is mistaken for `` Sebastian '' and winds up poorly playing his sister 's game instead. At half - time, Viola explains the situation to Sebastian and they switch places again. Duke, still furious at `` Sebastian '', refuses to cooperate with him on the field. Determined to makes amends with Duke, `` Sebastian '' explains that he is actually Viola. Illyria wins the game when Viola scores a goal, finally humiliating Justin and the rest of the Cornwall boys. Everyone at Illyria celebrates their victory over Cornwall, except for Duke who is hurt about Viola 's deception. Viola introduces Sebastian and Olivia officially, and they begin dating. Viola and Sebastian 's divorced parents also make up, exchanging contact information so as to be better parents towards their children. She invites Duke to her debutante ball, with an invitation delivered by Sebastian, now Duke 's roommate. Still hurt, Duke does n't respond to Viola 's invitation, which devastates her. At the ball, Viola is skeptical that Duke will show up ; she distracts herself by assisting Olivia, who is being escorted by Sebastian to the ball, and is touched when Paul asks to be her date. Her mother shows up with a dress that will suit Viola 's `` no ruffles '' policy, but Viola decides to go for a walk instead. She runs into Duke outside, who tells her that he has feelings for her, but that he does n't want there to be any more deception on her part ; Viola promises to be honest with him. Later, Monique is escorted by Justin, Olivia is escorted by Sebastian, and Viola and Duke enter the stage late, but together, with Viola in her new dress, much to the joy of her mother. Viola and Duke share a kiss before joining the crowd. At the end of the film, Viola and Duke are shown happily playing on Illyria 's soccer team together.
