A/N: After watching the last couple of Degrassi episodes, I was inspired to attempt a Beckdam story instead of another one-shot. The inspiration came from Adele's One and Only randomly coming on my iPod. This is my attempt of writing how Beckdam go from hugging in "Scream" to the promo for 12.5.
Despite the various attempts at sabotage, Romeo and Jules had a successful opening night. The cast and crew were still brimming with excitement as they walked the halls of Degrassi; only seven more performances to go. Becky Baker was happy she didn't ruin the play and that she also got to be part of it. Her mind drifted to Adam, who gave her a chance to be part of the last scene. It wasn't the first time she kept thinking about him; he seemed to have consumed her mind of late. She was looking out for him when she spotted Jenna at her locker. "Good morning Jenna."
"Morning Becky. You're in a good mood." It was pretty hard for Jenna not to notice the big smile on Becky's face. She might not have known her for long but she knew Becky had not smiled this big since they became friends.
"It's a beautiful day. I feel truly blessed."
"I was surprised to see you in the play. What was with the change?"
"Since I've been to Degrassi I've learned so many things and I think I started on the wrong foot. It's time for a fresh start."
Unknown to Becky, Adam was walking towards the girls. Seeing Becky brought back the memories of opening night. She really surprised him by offering to play Jules. As he said to Eli, he didn't think tolerance was her speed. Then there was the hug she gave him. Adam had to admit he didn't think he had a chance with the girl. After Katie, he decided to stop pursuing girls until he was allowed to have surgery. Adam's confidence had taken too many hits to want to go down that road again. When he asked Becky to see the play with him, it was meant in a friendly way with no romantic intentions attached. The way she looked at him, before she hugged him, made him melt. He wanted to kiss her and he was pretty sure she wanted to kiss him. He saw her eyes glance at his lips and she couldn't stop smiling. As she walked away, Adam then realized that he liked Becky Baker. Why did he keep doing this to himself? Even if she liked him in that way, he couldn't see anything happening between them because of her beliefs. In that split second before reaching Jenna and Becky, Adam decided he wasn't going to pursue her; he was only going to be friendly towards Becky.
The three of them exchanged hellos but before any sort of conversation could happen, Eli walked up to them, wanting to speak to Adam about the play. Eli decided to make a conscious effort to be more pleasant towards Becky, "Thanks once again for volunteering to play Jules."
"No problem. It's a shame we couldn't work together on the play." Though her words were for Eli, there was a part of Becky that meant those words for Adam.
"The next one is all yours." Eli turned to Adam, "Adam, can I speak to you for a moment."
Adam looked at Becky before looking at Eli to answer, "Sure." Adam turned back to Jenna and Becky and was a bit disappointed in having to leave. "I guess I'll see you in class."
"See you later." Becky said back, while she watched Adam walk off with Eli. While Becky couldn't tear her eyes away from him, Jenna was watching her the whole time. "Now I understand why you said you couldn't ignore him after the project. You still like him." Becky turned to face Jenna, unable to hide the blush appearing on her face. The fact was Becky didn't want to hide the blush; she didn't deny anything either. "Oh my God. Sorry, it's a bad habit. What are you going to do?"
Becky took a step back, resting her head against the lockers behind her. "I don't know. I feel so confused."
Jenna reached out and touched Becky on the arm. "You know I'm here if you need to talk to anyone about this."
"Thanks Jenna. I might just take you up on that." Becky paused, not quite sure if she wanted to continue saying her chain of thought. There had been one question, in particular, that she wanted answered. She took a chance at Jenna being able to know, "Has anyone at school dated him?"
"Last year he dated Fiona Coyne." The name didn't sound familiar to Becky and once Jenna realized that, she clarified the reason she wouldn't know her, "She's a year above us."
That piece of information seemed to perk her up. The fact that another girl liked him enough, to date him, was a sign of comfort. "Who does she hang out with?"
"Her locker is by Dallas. She's best friends with Eli and she hangs out with Imogen, who designed the set for the play."
"I need to speak to her." Becky said as she walked away.
"I don't think that's a good idea." Jenna shouted but Becky didn't hear her. Jenna knew that if Becky found out Fiona was gay, it would do little to help. Becky would jump to the conclusion that it had something to do with dating Adam. Jenna shook her head as she closed the door to her locker.
Becky had rounded the corner and spotted Dallas walking towards his locker. She also spotted the brunette girl standing at her locker and assumed it was Fiona. She moved close enough to hear them talking but waited before approaching her.
"Morning Fiona Coyne."
"Morning Mike Dallas."
Dallas closed his locker and turned fully towards Fiona. "Listen, once again I'm sorry for the fight at yours. Is there anyway you'll accept my apology. I mean we were getting on so well before that."
"Maybe, I'll think about it."
"Fions." Becky heard a girl with glasses approach the two and watched how they greeted each other. Shock was plastered on Becky's face as she watched Fiona and the other girl kiss. There was no mistaking the kind of kiss it was as it seemed to last for ages. Becky took a couple of steps back, internally screaming no. She didn't realize Mike Dallas was walking towards her. "Hey Becky, where's Luke?" he asked. Instead of answering him, she just ran off in the direction of the nearest bathroom.
