He saw spots of different colors, different shades. The left side of his mouth screamed in pain as he tasted iron. The floor was no longer under his feet and he collided with a door. His back skidded across the porcelain tiles of the Degrassi girl's bathroom and hit his head into a wall.

"That's where you belong, freak!" screamed his abuser.

'I didn't ask for this,' thought Adam. It was the first day of junior year and it had been a year since people had found out that he was transgendered. While others had gotten over it, he was still tormented and bullied.

Rubbing his head, he turned to see someone blonde staring at him.

'Oh no, not another one; can't she save her comments for someone else or when I'm not around?'

"Oh my goodness, are you okay?" she said kneeling down to his level. Adam had never seen this girl before and looked at her quizzically. Did she not know about him?

"Oh! I should introduce myself. I'm Rebecca Baker, Becky for short," she said with perkiness, "I just transferred here from Florida."

"I'm Adam, Adam Torres. It's nice to meet you, Becky. And, yes, I'm okay thanks for asking."

"So, do you always get shoved into the girl's bathroom on the first day of school? What were those guys' deals? "

Adam wasn't sure if he should be out in the open about himself. He didn't want to scare off anymore people. Clare and Eli were nice and all but they're so wrapped up in each other and Adam deserved to have another friend other than them.

"They just don't like me I guess."

"Well, do you forgive them?" asked Becky.

"Forgive them?"

"Yes. Jesus tells us to forgive our enemies. So, do you forgive them?"

'Great, she's a Christian. Now I really can't tell her about me.' Of course Adam didn't forgive them. He had made his life hell for the longest time, never catching him a break. If he could, he would fight back but they were much bigger and stronger than him and his mom was still on the ropes with allowing him to do T-shots. Adam figured to just say what Becky wanted to hear.

"Wouldn't want to disappoint Jesus, now would I?"

Becky smiled and gave him a hug. He was taken aback by this sudden gesture. He didn't expect her to hug him and now he was worried that she might feel something of his that would freak her out but she released him from her embraced with a smile.

"I guess I've made a new friend today. Even though it was unfortunate that we had to meet like this under these circumstances, I'm glad we did," said Becky.

Adam stood and up and helped her to her feet. "I'm glad I met you, too. You seem like a really great person. We should hang out sometime; somewhere that's not the girl's bathroom." There hands lingered in one another's longer than they should have. Noticing this, they both pulled away at the same time, blushing a bit but both of them missing the others contact.

Becky giggled, "Sounds like a plan. Here's my number." Becky scribbled down her number on her notebook and tore it out and gave it to Adam. She hugged him again and left the bathroom leaving him standing there.

Adam smiled as he looked down at the number she had given him. He took everything in that just happen and it hurt to smile but he couldn't feel it. He felt his heart race a little when he thought about hanging out with her. The hug she gave him felt like he had known her for years and not like a stranger hugging him. He remembered her scent; vanilla coconut and he could still smell a little of it on his clothes.

"Becky Baker," he said to himself with a smile. He walked out of the bathroom with high hopes that this year was going to be different.

So here's another fiction. I'm kind of hesitant on writing more fictions. I just feel like people are getting annoyed with me only writing about Beckdam. I'll deal with that later but for now here's another fiction! Tell me if you want more and I'll continue!

Review please!
