You Got Me, Episode 1310
Drew finds himself unable to cope with the struggle of such responsibility to organize the beach bash without falling asleep and forgetting his responsibilities. In order to impress her peers, Zoe tells everyone she is going to the dance with Drew but now has to find a way to convince Drew himself. Also, Alli tries to change her friends' perception of Leo and soon realizes that it will be a difficult task.
"Sorry I'm late."
"Why are you late?" Drew raised both brows as he waited for his brother to answer the question.
Adam hopped onto the desk and glanced at the student council surrounding the table, which included Becky. "I got lost." He smirked as he noticed the annoyance on Drew's face.
Becky shook her head amused then waved at her ex boyfriend. After their discussion of what happened over the summer, she felt it was right to break it off-for now. She loved him, she still does, but there were trust issues that she needed to get past and so did he.
She was going to talk to him after this meeting.
"Ideas anyone?" Drew glanced at his crew then to his Vice President as no one came up with anything. He was annoyed, as he hadn't been feeling the greatest. He was stressed and never caught a break, along with his relationship with Bianca on the rocks.
Adam knew his brother was handling a lot on his plate and looked to Clare in hopes she could clear out the room; which she did after another ten minutes.
That left Drew, Clare, Adam, as he was in charge of all web data from students, and Becky, as Becky represented student's issues.
Drew slammed his hand on the desk with made them all jump, "How am I supposed to get anywhere when no one helps?!"
"Bro, chill. We can stick to the original ideas."
Becky spoke up and nodded, "I've asked around and a dance is really what we need."
"How creative." Drew mumbled and Adam quickly went to defend her, "Hey, just cause you're in a bad mood doesn't mean you can act like that. At least she has an idea!"
Both Torres brothers stared at one another and both girls could feel the tension.

"What's wrong with him?" Becky adjusted her bag around her shoulder as she looked at Adam.
Whenever she looked at him, she was hit with the realization of much she wanted him. Just to touch him or kiss him but she couldn't let him back so easily.
"Stress. My moms putting a lot of pressure and Bianca and him aren't doing well." Adam shrugged and leaned his shoulder against the locker. "We all have our problems."
Becky couldn't help but think he was implying something but she didn't ask. "Hey." Adam started and cleared his throat, "if there is a dance…is there a chance-"
"Adam." The blonde grinned at how cocky he was getting. He was going to ask her to go before there was anything planned and before their relationship status was discussed. "I think we need a break."
He stiffened, as their last break didn't end well. He had his hopes high, as she wasn't so pissy towards him like before in the past week. They would talk once and while but he continued to give her the space that she desired. "I understand. I'll wait as long as I need to… I love you." Adam smiled as he claimed this, as it was true.
She couldn't help but sigh, this was tough but it was for the best.
"My offer still stands, for the dance that is."
"I'll keep that in mind." Becky smiled small and leaned over to kiss his cheek. "I'll see you around."
The bell rang. They exchanged a warm hug and she forced herself to pull away. As she walked away, she wondered again why they couldn't just be together.
::
"This playlist is going to knock your socks off." Adam was confident as he handed the USB to Dallas, who was the DJ for the Beach Bash. Drew was able to pull it off within a week of the idea being handed to him.
"I'm not wearing socks, I guess it is amazing." They both laughed. "Have you seen your brother?"
Adam took a sip of his punch and glanced around, "No. I think his date is looking for him too." He spoke of Zoe who had basically forced Drew to the dance.
It didn't surprise him his brother wasn't here yet. Adam wasn't very superficial but he wouldn't want to date a niner when he was going to graduate-the age gap was too extreme. And to add on to it, he was still with Bianca but Zoe wouldn't take no for an answer.
As if right on cue, the girl who he wanted to date was approaching them. Becky smiled and felt satisfied as she always seem to catch the sight of Adam at an instant, and whenever she did he would avoid looking at anything else.
"Hi guys." Dallas greeted her back and couldn't help but look between the two exes. He knew it was partially his fault they had broken up so he did feel bad. "Becky, please tell me that you were a secret Miami Club DJ? I need some help with this."
"Oh, yeah. Definitely. I was referred to as DJ Shake N Bakes." Adam held back a chuckle at her joke, "No, music is the Devils noise."
That's when Adam let himself laugh and Dallas just looked at her bewildered. "Dude, it was a joke."
"Oh." Dallas makes a face before he tells them both to leave, feeling embarrassed.
"No one seems to get my jokes." Becky led them to the punch bowl and she glanced back at Adam, "Besides you, that is." It always made her heart warm at how easily she could make him laugh at times.
"Cause you're funny... DJ Shake N Bakes." Adam gazed at her as she wore the yellow dress that was engraved in his memory. The yellow dress she wore when they had shared their first kiss.
Once she finished pouring herself some punch, Becky found Adam staring at her. "What?" He shrugged in response with a silly grin and she couldn't resist eyeing him herself.
The button down Hawaiian shirt fit nicely around his thin frame and she had no complaints about him in shorts. "You always look nicer buttoned all up." Becky admitted and reached over to button the top button, followed by unbuttoned the bottom button.
"Thank you." Adam said softly.
Adam doesn't part from Becky's side and vice versa throughout the night. To others, it seemed as if they were back together but in reality they just remained friends. Imogen was absent from the dance as she had no one to go with, so Becky was relieved to not see her.
Drew eventually showed up with Zoe at his side. Adam wanted to approach him and ask where he was but a slow song came on. Quickly, he glanced at Becky and Becky wouldn't meet his gaze.
"You don't want to dance?" He didn't mean to sound rude in any way but with the t-shots in his system for more than a month, his attitude and moods were always changing.
Becky shook her head, "Adam, we're friends." She knew that came off very hypocritical, as throughout the night they couldn't keep their hands off one another.
"Friends can dance."
"Not friends who are also exes."
Adam sighed and felt a slight annoyance. Especially when another boy came towards them and he asked for Becky to dance. Who was this kid? Becky thought for a second and could feel Adam staring at the poor boy but she felt she needed to do this to prove a point. "Yes, come on."
Now as he watched Becky interlace her hands behind the boy's neck, he felt his jealousy surge. It didn't last long before his eyes drifted to his brother; he was causing a show.
"Drew?"
"Look at the beach, it's so beautiful!" Drew exclaimed as he got up on the stage. "I'm going to do a cannonball!"
"Drew!" Adam quickly tried to go towards him but he only managed to get splashed with water as Drew fell into the kiddie pool.
::
"Andrew, wake up."
Adam was concerned as he looked at Drew who kept going in and out of consciousness. Clare was besides him and Zoe was in the room.
"Is he okay?" Becky hurried in. She was worried too as he had fallen off the stage then ran off. She had stayed behind to help clean up the mess of water that drew left behind.
"Maybe it was the pills." Zoe spoke up and that caught everyone's attention.
"Pills? What pills?" Both Clare and Adam asked.
"They were supposed to be sleeping pills but I guess Zig gave me the wrong ones?" Zoe shrugged it off with a no care attitude. Honestly she was only there to see if Drew could go back to the dance floor and create any form of jealous to Miles.
Adam furrowed his brows, what was this girl thinking? "Who the hell are you anyways? Why are you even here? You're like 12, what are you thinking?" He snapped and Clare with Becky watched in shock as he practically yelled at the much younger girl.
"You can't talk to me like that, I'm a famous actress."
"Jesus Christ." Adam rolled his eyes and walked out of the room.
Zoe was embarrassed, as she never met someone who had no idea who she was and who treated her "normally" after hearing who she was. She quickly followed suite, which left Clare and Becky with a drowsy Drew.
"I'll go talk to him." Becky spoke up.
::
"Adam, what was that?"
She found him sitting in the cafeteria. She had never seen him be so rude and degrading to a girl.
"She gave my brother pills-"
"He asked for them, Adam. And that doesn't give you the right to talk to her like that." Becky stood in front of him, gazing down at him. "What's going on?"
"Nothing… He just has me so worried, I don't know what's going on with him." He looks up at her and sighs, "I should go apologize to her."
Becky reached over to cup his face once he stood up. He was taken aback but didn't resist her touch as he found it comforting. "He's going to be okay, okay?"
Adam nodded and calmed at her words. "Okay."
