A/N this takes place after the winter break. Bianca never went to Drew's house or kissed him after Katie ODed like in the show. enjoy.

Bianca stepped into Mr. Simpson's office to find her probation working sitting across the principal. Rolling her eyes, she dropped her bag. "And what do I owe this pleasure to?"

"Just another routine checkup, Miss DeSousa," the worker said pulling a baggy with a cup out of her bag. "Shall we go?"

"You're lucky I like to keep hydrated," she said grabbing the bag with a sigh.

Walking back into the office, Bianca held out the now full cup and bag to the worker. Picking up her bag off the floor she crossed her arms and tried to give a bored look. "Am I done now? Can I leave?"

"Yes, I think that is all. I will see you in a month." She said as she walked out the door.

"Can't wait," Bianca mumbled under her breath.

"Bianca, you have been doing well, have you given any more thought to what I said last time?"

"I tried, okay? Katie was helping me, but you know what happened with that. I'll figure it out, don't worry Mr. S." Giving a small smile, she left the office just in time for the bell to ring.

She never understood why everyone thought she had so much potential. Until this year, she never cared about school. It was just an escape from her home life. She didn't care. The only reason she does now is everyone is making her. They expect her to do well, and yeah it's a good feeling when she passes a test or something. But if they didn't care, neither would she.

Walking down the busy hall looking at her shoes, she felt someone bump into her. "Hey, watch it-" looking up at the person in front of her, she stopped herself.

"Sorry, Bianca," she found herself face to face with Adam Torres smiling his usual annoyingly perfect smile.

"No, my bad, I should have been watching where I was going." she said trying to force a smile.

"You okay? I feel like I interrupted a deep thought." He looked into her eyes as if trying to read her mind.

"No, I mean yeah, I'm fine; no worries, little Torres."

"Hey, I'm not that little, I'm taller than you."

"Yeah, but you're still younger," she said with a laugh. "Well, I'll see you; gotta get to Pereno's before I'm late."

"Yeah, I have to set up the sound booth with Dave. See you later," he gave a wave and walked towards the lunch room. Bianca turned and watched him walk away with a slight smile.

Ever since what happened at prom last year, she couldn't help but like the kid. She still feels awful about what she did last year when she exposed him to the school. Then he was shot because of her. It's like everything bad in his life is her fault. Though he'd never say it, she knew that if it wasn't for her he would have a better time at Degrassi.

Shaking her head, Bianca made her way to class; sitting down as the bell rang.

A/N slow start I know, but I just wanted a good intro.

I graduated high school today and reviews would be the perfect graduation gift.
