Author's Note: This is my first FanFic ever, so I'm hoping some people will read and enjoy it. I'm sorry if it isn't very good. Anyway, reviews are always helpful! I love the character of Adam and I hope the show continues plots with him as the major character.

Monday mornings. Adam's least favorite part of the week. He sat next to Eli in homeroom, barely keeping his eyes open. Sav's voice filled the silent classroom as he recited the morning announcements on the television on the wall, but Adam didn't really hear the words. They just sort of drifted by him as he imagined himself under the covers of his warm, comfortable bed. Suddenly, one of the announcements caught his attention. He perked up his ears as Sav said, "Sign ups for soccer will be posted today and tryouts will start this week, so everyone remember to sign up for another kicking season."

Adam had played soccer at his old school. He was so good they had let him play with the boy's team, which had been so great. It had probably been the thing that pushed him to completely change his gender, seeing how well he fit in with the guys on the team and how comfortable it was. The guys hadn't liked having a girl on the team at first, but they soon took Adam under their wing, sticking up for him when players on the other team made a fuss about playing a girl or when kids at school made fun of him. Now that Adam was officially a boy, he figured he would get less crap than he used to at tryouts. But he wondered if he should play. He was afraid of being bullied. Being part of a sports team would open up so many more opportunities for cruel transgender jokes.

The bullying from Fitz flashed before his eyes. Being pushed into lockers, being paired with a girl for a sparing partner, being thrown out of the boys bathroom. He shook his head and his initial excitement over the soccer tryouts faded. He couldn't play on the boy's team. They wouldn't accept him. And he wouldn't dare play for the girl's team. He wasn't a girl. He shook off the disappointment as the bell rang and class officially started. He'd just have to go back to playing in the backyard.

After class, Adam met Drew on his way to his locker. "Sign up for soccer yet?" Drew asked casually, as if it was certain he would.

"I'm not playing," Adam answered, stopping to open up his locker and grab a heavy text book from the shelf. He piled it on top of his binders.

"What?" Drew asked. "Why not?"

Adam shut his locket with his elbow and began walking. Drew followed him, waiting for the response. "I can't, Drew. Nobody on the team will accept me. It's better if I stay invisible."

Drew frowned, thinking. His face lit up as a wonderful idea formed in his mind. "What if your athlete older brother tried out with you?"

Adam looked over at him, amused and unbelieving. "You don't play soccer. You hate it."

"I don't hate it," Drew said. "And I play with you in the backyard all the time."

Adam shook his head. "I don't know..."

"C'mon, it will be great brother bonding," Drew prodded, elbowing his brother playfully. "Just think about it." Drew walked into his class and Adam continued down the hall, deep in thought.

Later that day, Adam passed the bulletin board. He saw the sign up sheet, just a bunch of lines with BOY'S SOCCER printed at the top. Boy's soccer. Signing his name on that list would prove Adam was, in fact, a boy. He could finally do that. With a surge of motivation, he fished a pen from his pocket and scribbled Adam Torres on the first empty line. He noticed Drew's name on the list just a line above his. A smile crept across his face.

"What are you smiling about?" Adam turned to see an angry looking senior towering over him.

"Nothing," Adam answered, trembling slightly. He tried to walk away, but the boy stopped him.

"Are you signing up for soccer?" he asked. Adam nodded. "I'm the Varsity captain of the boy's team. But some people tell me you aren't a boy."

Adam flushed with anger. "I am a boy," Adam said. "And I'm signing up for boy's soccer."

"Now, look," the senior began. "I'm sure you would have a great time playing for the girl's-"

Drew, hearing the conversation, stalked over angrily and cut him off. "Cut it out, Rick. Adam, my brother, is trying out for your team and that's the end of it."

"Oh, Drew, didn't see you there," Rick said. "I would love to have your brother try out. Except that he's a-"

Drew stepped forward so his face was just inches from Rick's. "He's a what?" When Rick didn't respond, he said, "That's what I thought." Drew turned to Adam, who was huddled behind his brother in fear and said, "Let's go." He walked away and Adam followed him, but not before turning and sticking his tongue out at Rick, who mouthed 'Fuck you.'

Author's note: Sorry it is so short. I just want to see what people think of it before I continue. Reviews :)
