A week later...

Fiona's Pov

I can't believe this is really happening. For the first time in my life I have found someone who likes spending time with me because of my personality, not because I am rich or have influence. For an entire week I have had countless conversations with Adam, about anything and everything. He listens to all I have to say and never cuts me off. My ex Bobby wouldn't even give me the time of day, and when I tried to tell my parents he was abusing me they thought I was lying. Adam is truly the only person I have met that cares about my opinions. And when it is time for him to talk I find my self eagerly awaiting what he has to say. This could be the beginning of something amazing...

At School

"Adam do you have any plans this weekend?" The final bell had just rung and we were standing at his locker.

"Not really, normally I just hang out at the house."

"Well, if you're not doing anything maybe we could see a movie or something. It gets extremely lonely at my apartment on the weekends." He stared at me with concerned eyes, deep in thought.

"Do you live by yourself?"

"Yeah, my family stayed in New York, when I decided to come back to Degrassi," I said sullenly.

"No one should have to live alone."

"I wish that were true, the only people that come over regularly are Holly J and my therapist."

"Then, I would be very honored to join that select group," he said sarcastically.

"That's great! How about tomorrow we go see the new James Bond movie?"

"I didn't really peg you as the adrenaline junkie type of girl."

"I'm not, but I thought you wouldn't come if I chose the latest tear jerker."

"I couldn't care less what we see, I know we would have a good time no matter what we did." This has to be too good to be true. No boy could be this unselfish.

"Ok then, why don't we see that new comedy, and just see what happens," I said.

"Great, I would happy to pick you up but I don't get my license for two months."

"That's ok, I'll drive just tell me where you live." He took out his notebook and wrote down detailed directions from Degrassi to his house. Then handed me the paper.

"So, I'll see you tomorrow night at seven."

"I can't wait," he said smiling.

Adam's Pov

Saturday Afternoon

What is wrong with me? Fiona thinks this is going to be just like every date she has ever been on. I have never even come close to going on one. Why does she have to be so irresistible? I can't go through with this date without her knowing the truth. Great, just what I need, my mom to walk in here with her "let's have a chat face."

"Adam, honey, what's this I hear about you going on a date tonight."

"Ugh! Did Drew tell you?" I said pulling my pillow over my face.

"Yes, he did, but don't change the subject," she said pulling the pillow off my face.

"I do in fact have a date tonight, and I am about ready to pull my hair out.

"Well, does she know, about you?"

"No mom, I am going to tell her tonight."

"I'm sorry honey, I just don't want to see you get hurt. I know these past few months have been extremely hard for you."

"I'm really afraid of being rejected. I have finally accepted who I am, but I feel more trapped than ever."

"I can't promise that she will be understanding, but she obviously likes you a lot if she has only known you for a week."

"She's amazing, but I am one of her few friends. I don't want to ruin that for her."

"If she has any sense at all she will know that losing you would be worse than anything else."

"Thanks mom, all I can do is hope for the best." Tonight was undoubtedly going to impact my life dramatically, one way or another.
