Fiona's Pov

As I crouched on the ground next to a very battered Adam, I realized all this pain I was currently experiencing was because I chose to love a certain person ...It all began about a month ago when I met Adam for the first time.

Walking through the halls of Degrassi after being in New York for three months was strange to say the least, but I had never felt more lonely. I needed some space from Declan after that twincest tabloid and even though I consider Holly J to be a close friend, I had to blackmail her into spending time with me. Not to mention everyone at Degrassi refers to me as "the stuck-up bitch." I just wish that I could prove to everyone, including my mom and Declan, that I am a different person now. Oh well, I don't have time to worry about that right now, if I don't hurry up I'll be late for math class. In my hurry to get to class I didn't notice someone sitting on the ground right in front of my locker.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry I didn't see you there," I said as I bumped into a boy sitting on the ground, reading a comic book.

"Don't worry about it, it was my fault. It's my first day and I can't seem to get moment to myself," the boy said while standing up.

"Over time you learn where the quiet spots are."

"My name is Adam, what grade are you in?"

"I'm in grade 12."

"Too bad, I'm only grade 10 and it would of been nice to see you in class," he said while looking down and blushing a little.

There was something very different about this boy. He was soft spoken and genuinely nice. He looked to be about sixteen and only as tall as me. But he had a kind face with sparkling blue eyes.

"Well, I'm sure we will see each other at lunch," I said hopefully.

"Yeah, I'm sure we will," he said as the late bell started to ring. "Oh, I'm sorry I made you late."

"Don't worry about," I said while backing away.

"Hey, I didn't get your name."

"I'm Fiona."

"Can't wait until lunch Fiona."

For the first time in my life I wasn't the least bit annoyed that I was going to get detention for being late. Because I had met someone that a year ago would of been invisible to me, but now is the only person in all of Degrassi that is willing to really get to know me.

At Lunch

Since Holly J had student council stuff to do I was on my own. Walking through the cafeteria looking for somewhere to sit is complete torture. Scanning the room, I finally noticed one inviting face, Adam's.

"Hey, Fiona you can sit with us if you want to," he said pulling out a chair.

"Thanks."

"Guys, this is Fiona. Fiona this is Clare and Eli." His friends seemed kind of skeptical, but I was ready to prove them wrong.

"So did they give you a break for being late on your first day?" I asked.

"Yeah, I got off with a warning. How about you?"

"Well, I got detention because it was the third time this month."

"My, my we have ourselves a delinquent," he said smirking.

Later that Night

Adam's Pov

Wow today was the most eventful first day of school I've ever had, and it was also the first time I went as Adam. I feel as though I am finally free and showing everyone my true self. But how can I be Adam and not deceive those around me. Only my family knows everything and even they aren't truly accepting. Fiona is amazing but I don't want to trick her or give her false assumptions. The only way I could ever be with her is if she knew everything about me.
