I saw there were only like three fanfictions for Adam written, and I was like what the hell? I have a feeling he's going to be my new favorite character :). So I decided to write one. I don't have anything planned yet, but I'll think of something ;). I'm not sure whether or not I'll put in any romance, because I'm not sure if he goes for guys or girls… but they're definitely going to be a lot of fight scenes, and scenes with Eli, because Adam and Eli are so far my favorite characters. By the way, I'm aware he was born a girl, but he wants to be a boy, so respectfully, I'm calling him a boy. Anyway! Onto the story, enjoy!

Chapter One: Just Smile, Smile, Smile

It was Adam's first day of Degrassi, and just thinking about it made his stomach churn. His alarm clock went off, and he sighed. He didn't want to get up and go to school; he knew it was going to turn out like last year. And the year before that. And, the year before that. But this year, he had a new plan. No one would know about his past, he wouldn't let them.

Adam crawled out of bed reluctantly, and yawned. Noticing the time, he cursed under his breath and ran to his dresser. He picked out jeans, a white hoodie, and a black t-shirt and put them on quickly. He didn't want to be late for the first day of school and make a scene; he wanted to fade quietly into the background. He wouldn't be the center of attention. Not again. He heard a knock on the door, and in walked his new step-brother, Drew.

"Hey," Drew said casually, he was grinning ear to ear. "Ready for our first day at Degrassi?" His smile got even bigger as he said the words, and Adam faked a smile.

"I'm excited," he said, lying through his teeth. Drew's smile faded as he saw Adam's glum expression.

"It's a new start, for the both of us. C'mon, it won't be that bad. And trust me, if anyone, and I mean anyone, does anything to you, they're going to pay." He gritted his teeth, and his nostrils flared. The memories of last year flooded both their heads, and Adam grimaced. "It won't be like that here, I promise."

A small smile flickered on Adam's face, and he couldn't help but hope Drew was right. Maybe things were going to change, for the better.

The two headed downstairs, and breakfast was already on the table. His mom had made them both pancakes, in honor of their first day of school. Drew ate his breakfast like there was no tomorrow, while Adam just sat and stared into space, picking at his food and taking occasional bites. "You guys better hurry, or you'll be late."

Both Adam and Drew grabbed their backpacks off the kitchen chairs and headed towards their new school. "You won't tell anyone… will you?" Adam asked, as soon as the school was in sight.

Drew turned sharply to look at him, "You know I would never," he replied sincerely. Adam sighed; his mind was cluttered with thoughts. It probably wouldn't matter if Drew told anyone or not, they'd all find out eventually. There was no hiding it forever.

As soon as they approached the front steps, a tall guy with dark skin and some sort of Mohawk type hairdo walked over beside them. Adam's stomach turned in knots, the first day and someone already knew, and was going to mock him?

But once the guy got to them it seemed like he didn't even notice Adam was there. Instead, he started talking to Drew about something Adam didn't care to listen to. As he finally entered inside the school, he really started to feel panic. He walked quickly to homeroom, but on his way felt someone grab the hat off of his head. He turned quickly to see a girl laughing, with long brown curly hair and too tight jeans. She looked exactly like the kind of kids he wanted to avoid this year. The popular ones.

She was fist punching another laughing kid, this time, a guy with a ridiculous looking beanie on his head. He looked like your typical bully; a category Adam had a lot of experience with. Adam walked even faster towards his class, and looked back again to see the principle breaking up their laughing. He felt humiliated, and knew that this wouldn't be the end of his troubles, not even close.

A/N, I know its short, but I hope to have another one up by tonight. Maybe :)
