Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN DEGRASSI!

This fic was inspired by the song Mending by Sandweaver. I fell in love with this song! The lyrics are just so perfect for Fadam! Anyway here's chapter 1, enjoy! :)

Sigh, there goes another day, I thought as I walked out of Degrassi. I stopped when I noticed a familiar face sitting on the steps looking very impatient. 'It's her.' I thought. She was that same girl that burst into the gym today during lunch asking for Mrs. Holland. I hesitated to go down the steps. I was contemplating whether to just ignore her and go on with my life, or be polite and create a conversation with her. It'd be really rude to just ignore her since we've already met. Letting out another sigh, I walked down the steps reluctantly.

"Your ride didn't show?" I asked coolly as I took a sit next to her. She looked up surprised to see me.

"Prompt Taxi might want to change their name." she said smiling at me. I smirked at her comment.

"I thought you'd have a princess carriage waiting." I said playing it off. She looked at me with an uncertain face. "You know with five horses and a charming prince to sweep you off your feet?" I continued.

Her expression suddenly changed. "Prince. Yea I tried that." She started. "New York City royalty anyway. Charming on the outside, vile on the inside." I sensed a hint of sadness in her voice. Her eyes displayed the same emotion. I wonder why.

In an attempt to alleviate the mood I made a remark. "Right. Prince's are so overrated." I said rolling my eyes. She cracked a smile.

"So many guys are just pretending to be something they're not." She said looking me in the eyes. "Right." I said breaking my gaze off of her. Her statement stung me a little bit. I know it wasn't on purpose, but I can't help but think about my issue.

Noticing my awkward silence, she turned to me. "Well, you seem honest. I mean I can talk to you like a normal person." She said flashing me an honest smile.

I blinked at her response."Really?" I asked in disbelief. She nodded her head. Well that's a first. That really caught me off guard. Not because of her sweet smile but because of what she said. It was the first time someone has ever said that to me. I know Eli and Clare regarded me as a friend, but no one else has thought of me as someone 'normal.' "I try. Thanks." I said looking at her deeply in her eyes. She gave me another warm smile, and I found myself caught off guard again. I looked away trying to hide my flushed cheeks.

When we heard a car pull by, we both turned to the same direction. It was her taxi. "But historically, I have terrible instincts when it comes to guys." She said gathering her stuff and getting up from the steps. I stood up as well, watching her as she opened the door to the taxi. Before stepping inside she turned to look at me and smiled. My heartbeat started quickening. I couldn't help but continue to linger my gaze at her. I watched as she dictates her address to the driver. She then returned her gaze towards me and flashed me another knee-weakening smile before the taxi pulled away. Wow, I thought. Who was that?

...0...0...0...

The following morning I waited at the entrance of Degrassi waiting for her to arrive. Drew had an early practice so he was there early too, which I didn't mind because that means I'll get the chance to see her again.

Last night I had a dream of her when she was looking at me and staring at me. I've been also thinking about what she said yesterday. You seem honest. I mean I can talk to you like a normal person....Like a normal person...Those words had been lingering mind since yesterday. The sight of her gentle and honest smile kept popping out of my head as well. I smiled like an idiot as an image of her smiling at me flashed in my mind.

"Adam?" I immediately woke up from my fantasy and turned towards the direction of the voice that called my name. I found Clare walking towards my direction. "Hey Clare." I said waving at her. "What are you doing here?" she asked as she paused in front me. "Umm…..Drew has practice." I said nervously.

"That's not what I meant." She said. "What I meant was, what are you doing here standing in front of the entrance?" I didn't respond. "Are you possibly waiting for someone?" She asked raising an eyebrow. Man, it's amazing how Clare can see right through me. I wonder how Eli gets away with his foolishness from Clare. She continued to wait for my response. Seeing that I can't escape her wrath I decided to just be honest with her.

"Yes. I am waiting for someone." Her lips twitched into a broad smile. "Really? Who is it?" She asked way too anxiously. When I was about to give her an answer, I realized something important I've been missing all along. Wait a second. I don't even know her name! All I know is that she's in twelfth grade and that she's in the canned food drive. "I don't know." I said staring at her blankly. "Are you serious?" I nodded my head. Wow, I can't believe I've been dreaming of someone I don't even know.

Clare let out a subtle laugh. "I suggest you ask her name first before you ask her out." She said smiling at me before walking away. When Clare was out of earshot, something about what she said caught my attention. Wait a minute. How did she know I was waiting for a girl? I turned towards the direction Clare disappeared to. How did she know? I shivered at the thought.
