Well hello there, lovelies! Okay so I haven't wrote stories in forever, so I decided to make one of... Kadam! Yay! I love Adam and from the promo I saw, Katie seems like a nice girl for him. I made some reasearch on her character, and decided to do a story on them. This story will be switching POV'S, but at the moment it's going to be Katie's POV. Anyway please enjoy the first chapter of What Is Love! :)
Thump thump thump
My heart beats faster and faster by the minute. I fake left and turn right, flying by my opponent. I kick the ball to my team mate, and silently pray they'll pass it back.
Come on Jess, I'm open! As if Jess was reading her thoughts, the ball was passed to me. I see the goal, find the right angle, and…
BEEP BEEP BEEP
I jump up at the sound of my alarm, sweaty and out of breath. Damn it, it was just a dream! I was so close to making that goal, but thanks to my alarm I was disturbed. I look over at the clock and realized I only have 10 minutes to get ready. I jump out of bed and rush to my bathroom. Quickly I brushed my teeth and put my hair up in a ponytail. I make my way back into my room, and put on my red Degrassi Polo and khaki skirt. I practically ran downstairs, got an apple, grabbed my Soccer gear for tryouts, and rushed out the door. I looked at my watch and realized I only had five minutes left before school started. So speed walking it is.
Once I got to school I ran towards my locker, but not before bumping into someone. I have no time for this!
"Oh, I'm so sorry! I should have watched where I was going, again I'm so-"
"- Hey, don't worry about it. I shouldn't have been running." I looked up to see a guy with beautiful blue eyes holding his hand out to help me up. "Thanks," I said flustered.
"You're welcome. I've never seen you around here before, are you new?" said the mystery guy.
"O-oh yeah, I just moved here this summer from the states."
"Well, welcome to Degrassi. I'm Adam, by the way."
"I'm thanks, and Katie. Uhh, I mean I'm K-katie and thanks." I stuttered as my cheeks turned a bright red.
Adam laughed at my mistake, "Nice to meet you Katie. I have to get to class now though. I'll see you around." And with that he left, leaving me as red as a tomato and flustered.
By the time I got to my locker, the hallways were empty. Great, I'm late…again. When I got to class, I noticed Adam at the very back. Has he always been in this class? There was only one sit left, and just my luck, it was next to Adam. I went and sat down next to him after getting yelled at by Mr. Perino. I sneaked a peek of Adam, and noticed he was staring at me too. I quickly turned my attention to the front of the class and tried to pay attention, until a note appeared on my desk. I turned to look at Adam and he nodded silently telling me to read it. I opened it and read it:
I thought I should tell you your shirt is on backwards. :P
My eyes widened at this and I immediately looked down, and noticed it was indeed backwards. My whole body felt hot, and I knew my face was as red as a tomato. Thank god, the bell rang at that very moment. I ran out of there in a flash, and ran towards the bathroom ignoring Adam calling my name. Once there, I reversed my shirt and went on my way. How embarrassing, of course I just had to look like a fool in front of a guy, just shoot me no please. Opening the door, I saw Marisol walking by. Marisol is my best friend, the only girl I can trust; she's like a sister to me.
"Marisol!" I yelled, all heads turning towards the noise. "What, I can't call my friends name? Turn around and continue on with your business. " Gosh, I can be such a bitch. I need to work on learning how to keep my mouth closed.
"Hey girl, ready for lunch?" asked Marisol. "Yep, I'm starving. Mama need her food!" Me and Marisol laughed at my dramaticness. We were just chatting on our way to the caf when I heard Adam calling my name. I turned my head slightly to the left, and saw Adam running towards me.
"Hey Katie! I was wondering if you wanted to… you know, have lunch with me today?" He asked with a slight blush.
I turned towards Marisol having a conversation with our eyes, asking if she was okay with it.
"Go right ahead Katie," she said, turning to go but not without winking at me. Oh how I love that girl.
We stood there awkwardly just staring at the ground, waiting for one of us to say something. I couldn't take the silence anymore, so I decided to be brave and talk. "So, are you ready to go to lunch?"
"What? Oh yeah lunch, right. Actually instead of the caf, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the Dot…"
Hmm, spend alone time with Adam or be crowded at the caf? "Yeah, the Dot sounds great."
He smiled, "Okay, let's go then."
We started walking towards the Dot, just chatting endlessly about everything. I couldn't stop staring at him, he was just so… so –dare I say it- attractive. I just get so nervous around him, though. I've never talked to a guy I kind of liked before. I'm a complete dumbass in the boy department. I don't think I'll be able to handle being in a relationship. I also have Soccer to deal with. Soccer is my number one focus right now. I don't need distractions, even if Adam is hot and sweet and-
"Katie, we're here," he said interrupting me from my private conversation with myself. He opened the door for me. What a gentleman. I walked ahead of him and picked a booth by the back. Adam took a seat in front of me, and began looking at his menu. Soccer tryouts are today, so I need a good meal. Hmm, let's see what's good in here. I looked through the menu and found exactly what I wanted.
"So, what are you getting Adam?"
"I'm just going to get a Cheeseburger and some curly fries. What are you getting?"
"Yummy. I'm getting a Cheeseburger Deluxe with some cheese fries and a Milkshake." I smiled at his reaction.
"Whoa, I see we're hungry over here." We shared a quick laugh until the waiter came over to get our orders. We chatted about school until our food came over. We ate silently the rest of the time there. Before we knew it we only had ten minutes to get to school.
"Oh shoot, I left my money at school." I whispered, feeling bad.
"Hey, don't worry about it. I got this." He smiled and placed a twenty dollar bill on the table.
"You didn't have to do that Adam, I'll pay you back when we get back, I swear." I covered my face with my hands feeling bad about not paying, when I felt a pair of hands yanking my hands of my face.
"Katie! It's okay, really. You don't have to worry about it, okay?" I sighed, and nodded even though I still felt guilty. "Alright now, let's go before we're late."
We went our separate ways when we got to school. I couldn't stop thinking about him. –Sigh-
Now, I was in my last class waiting for the bell to ring. Once it did, I went straight to my locker, grabbed my soccer bag, and headed towards the field. I wasn't nervous or anything, I knew I had this in the bag. Confident much? I went to the bleachers and sat down waiting for the coach. The whistle blew making me turn my head towards the noise, and I saw the coach calling us towards the field. She explained everything and before I knew it I was kicking the ball around. I slid the ball through a pair of legs and went around her, and kicked the ball forward. I saw the goal right ahead of me; I faked right and kicked left and GOAL! Yes, one point for me! I smiled inwardly, at my cockiness. We continued playing, me making most of the goals of course, until the coach blew the whistle. She said she'll post the results tomorrow in the hallway.
3 hours later
My legs were so sore from tryouts. Now, I have to walk home… great. Once I got home, I went straight to the shower. I stepped out of the shower, and went to my room to change. I decided to get on Facerange real quick before bed.
Had a great day today. Hope tomorrow will be even better!
Once, I changed my status I dived into bed. I feel asleep with a smile on my face.
My last thought was Adam.
I hope you guys liked this! I worked really hard on this for you guys. Since we have no idea how Katie's character is like, I tried to go by her descrition. I hope you guys liked her!
