Degrassi Community School Steps; Wednesday Morning; 7:02 AM
Fiona Coyne sat down on the steps working on her latest sketch for art class. Adam saw her shiny chocolate brown ringlets from miles away as the sun reflected off them. He slowly walked up to her. "Working on the sketch the morning before its due?" he asked
She looked up squinting because of the sun "I'm just putting on a few finishing touches" she shrugged "I like things to be just right" she flipped the pad shut.
"Yeah. So Eli told me what you said to him" he said feeling the awkward tension between them
"So he did?" she asked arching her eyebrow
"yeah he did" Adam replied "it's okay. I'm a good different so you shouldn't be scared"
"you can't change my mind Adam. And it's not that I'm not scared of you it's just...I can't" she said gathering her things "so please just understand that"
Adam watched her walk up the steps and go through security before going himself. He saw Eli talking to Clare at her locker. Just when he thought he wasn't going to be the third wheel anymore it didn't work out so well. He continued walking passed them and to his own locker.
The Dot Grill; Wednesday Afternoon; 12:25 PM
Eli sat at a table with his girlfriend Clare enjoying lunch off campus. They had recently lifted the rule of staying at school for lunch. They were in deep conversation about Fiona and Adam.
"She should at least give him a chance" Clare scoffed "he is different but Adam is sweet and wouldn't hurt her"
Eli rolled his eyes "every guy hurts a girl in someway"
"Now I'm wondering who wears the pants in this relationship" Fiona giggled as she sat down next to Eli. Clare smiled and Eli didn't look amused. It was silent for a few seconds till Fiona smiled. "didn't know you were so sensitive Eli"
"I'm not it's just Clare doesn't understand why you can't be with Adam" he sent a smirk in Clare's direction.
"Right" Fiona sighed "can we not talk about Adam" she smiled awkwardly "like how about Clare...you were sick yesterday. How are you feeling?"
"Fine I feel much better" she gritted her teeth. Fiona was nice in all but she was bugging Clare right now
"Smooth subject change" Eli chuckled as he opened the menu "another subject change..so what are you guys ordering?"
Degrassi Community School; Wednesday Night; 4:06 PM
Fiona hurriedly swung open her locker causing her to drop her soy milk latte all over her shoes and the tile floors "shoot" she sighed sadly as she watched the warm liquid soak into her shoes and socks.
"Seems like your having a bad day" Eli said as he began picking up her fallen books.
"Seems like I'm having a bad week" she huffed a breath taking her books an stuffing them into her locker.
"Why are you here so late" Eli asked
"As the president of fashion club I have to take care of my duties" she shot him a small smile. "now your turn to explain"
"Detention" he smirked as Fiona shut her locker and grabbed her purse and the two walked outside.
"Listen I'm sorry about Clare at lunch. She is just.." he trailed off
"Protective of Adam" Fiona filled in "I get it and I hurt
Adam...before he could hurt me" she whispered
"Exactly" Eli nodded
"Well you shouldn't apologize for her. I mean not that she owes me one"
"Yeah" he scratched his chin "do you need a ride?"
Fiona scrunched up her nose "I don't do well with death, and plus my cab is on the way"
"I understand" he laughed "have a good night and stay excellent"
"Same to you" she smiled and watched as he drove off.
