I haven't seen many Adam/Linda fanfics so I decided to make one and see how it goes. This is my first time publishing anything so please don't be too harsh on me, but be honest too.

Wanting 99

Linda's P.O.V

They both leaned back in their seats, laughing quietly about something or other that the Dean had obviously just said. I would have known what it was about had I been listening like I usually do, but somehow, I had found something more interesting to focus my attentions on – something much better.

Charlie glided his fingers through his chocolate brown locks, and at one time, I admit, this would have been one of those moments which would have made my heart flutter. But that is gone. It's the quiet blonde who sits by him that really catches my attention.

Adam Banks. I always thought that he was good looking, but I never took it further than that. I was with Charlie. Or at least, I was until halfway through our sophomore year.

I remember the whispers, the absurd rumours. That he was trying to woo Connie, that I was a lesbian, that we fought every day, that he left me broken-hearted, or that I left him feeling similar. But it was none of that.

It was simply that we didn't really have much in common; besides the fact that we both liked R.E.M and pizza, and I mean, most people do. It was fun at the start, the way that I learnt how to understand hockey and how it was played, how we all used to hang out at the Diner when we had nothing better to do than watch Goldberg try and charm the waitresses with no luck at all.

After a while it was pretty clear that although it was fun, it wasn't love. After the JV/Varsity Showdown our kisses were few and far between, and to tell the truth, I was really glad to be spared having my face sucked off. Not that Charlie was really bad, he was just really unsure. He'd kiss me gently and then we'd accidentally clash our teeth together and in embarrassment he'd deepen the kiss. I suppose I didn't help matters; I could have tried harder at responding.

The break up was pretty simple really. I'd convinced Charlie to go and do some study for Bio in the library with me and halfway through answering the 4th focus question he said "We're not really meant for each other are we?"

I shook my head with a little smile and said "It was fun though." We went back to our work and there and then our relationship ended. We remained friends after that, and really, I could not have asked for anything better. Charlie's a great guy.

But Adam…he was in a category of his own.
