Chapter 1

Adam's P.O.V

".. And I don't know why, but she likes you" Drew had said that afternoon at the food drive.

Those words had been in my mind this whole time. On the car ride home, at dinner, and now in bed. I could not shut my eyes to get enough sleep without thinking about Fiona Coyne and knowing that she likes me.

I got up from bed and headed towards the window. A nice breeze came in as I opened it and sat on the edge. I looked back at my alarm clock, not worry about the time, but noticing how much time was left before seeing and talking to Fiona. 3:45 am. Crap! A few more hours and then mom would be banging at my door, screaming at me to get up, but I didn't care. The only thing in my mind was thinking of my sweet Princess Fiona.

Just her name alone made my senses go insane. The way the smell of her perfume filled the air every time I was with her. The way her eyes had that passion in them when she spoke to me. The way her voice got so sweet when she called me Prince Adam. Even the way she got mad had its own uniqueness to it like no one else could replicate it.

Right then a thought popped into my head. Oh shit! I had forgotten to call to apologize for the fight we had out in the entrance of Degrassi. Crap and now it's too late to call. She, unlike me, was probably getting some good rest.

I quickly got my phone out and started to text. I know its late, but I just had to get what was on my mind written down (even if it was in text form) so then I wouldn't lose my thoughts and make a fool of myself so early in the day. Now all I have to do is text a descent apology and hit send in the morning without worrying too much about it.

I keep rewriting text after text and deleting them. They all seem to say something but not the right thing I wanted to tell her. After what seemed forever, I put the phone down and crawled back into bed. I turned my head to face my alarm clock. 4:36 am it showed. Less than two hours to rest but still not a speck of sand in my eye to make me fall asleep. I tried my best to get some shuteye, even going as far as counting sheep in my head, but still Drew's words filled my mind.

"…why but she likes you"

"…but she likes you"

"…she likes you"

"…likes you"

Bang! Bang! Bang

"Wake up Adam! Time for school!" a voice said suddenly from the other side of my door. I rubbed my eyes and saw it was 6:30 am already. "Great. Thanks mom for that wake up call" I said sarcastically to myself, not knowing if she had heard me.

Aah! My head felt like it was on fire this morning. I think that's what happens when you have too many thoughts in your brain. They all seemed to create a big headache and knowing my thoughts, they were not just creating one. I am not up for taking any quizzes or test this early in the morning. The only good news was my art class was first on the agenda today so no big test there and also it was wonderful since it was one of the electives I had with Princess Fiona. I had prepared something in that class the day before and I was hoping to unveil it to her, unless she's still not talking to me.

As I made my way out of bed, I grabbed my towel, clothes and binder and headed towards the door to the bathroom for a quick shower. Remembering what happened yesterday, I snatched my phone up and looked at the message I had written earlier in the morning to send to Fiona. It was impressive and so well put, I had to reread it a second time before hitting send. I hope it worked so that I could get myself back on her good graces, especially since now knowing her feelings towards me made me more motivated to spend more time with her.

I put the phone down and closed my bedroom door behind me. I walked into the shared bathroom I had with Drew and locked it. I took off my pajama bottoms and my black wife beater and headed inside the shower. I closed the shower curtain and turned the faucet on cold. I needed a cold shower today, not only to wake me up, but to cool down some of the body heat I had projected last night. The cool water made me realize something the minute it hit my head. Even though I had send what I thought was a meaningful text, it might not work on Fiona. What if she rejected me? What if she didn't want to give me the time of day? Ugh. This was going to be a long morning for me.
