"Hey there, Degrassi. My co-host Adam is OUT for the next three weeks; he's having a physiological breakthrough. In the meantime, catch a listen to these tunes!" said Dave, before unfastening his headphones and leaving the booth.
It was his breaktime, to go hang out with the other guys on the basketball court; and to hang out with Sadie. Sadie had been his girlfriend for a while now, but they hadn't gotten intimate. He never really notice until now.
"Hey, Sades. Wanna go see that concert movie tonight?" he said coolly.
Sadie cocked her head, "Ehhhh, I was thinking more of a video game night."
Dave looked away. Not what he was going for, but he'd deal. "Yeah. Okay; for now let me own you at hoops."
"Oh, you're on!"
Adam's heart was pounding. Hard. He was laying on the gurney that would lead him into the operation room. This was it. In twelve hours, he would wake up to be in the body he always belonged in.
This excited him and scared him all at the same time. He even wished he had someone to hold his hand, at least until the anesthetic took him over.
Adam stared blankly at the ceiling tiled, counting the numerous dots on them to pass the time until the doctors would come to roll him into the operating room.
Instead, another gurney was placed next to him. He recognized who it was immediately; Holly J Sinclair, Senior Class Vice President, esteemed honor student.
"Hey." Adam spoke up.
Holly J turned her head towards him, surprised to see him here, "Oh! Hey, Adam, right?"
"Yeah," Adam replied, "What are you doing here?"
Holly J scoffed, "Evidently my condition is serious. I need a kidney transplant. What about you?" she asked, until her eyes widened, "You're not.. getting THE surgery?"
Adam just smiled and nodded.
"Oh. Wow." There was an awkward silence. "Listen, I know it's not what's on your mind, but Fiona's really sorry about what she did." Holly J sighed, "Fiona's.. always been confused and always one to cause drama."
Adam chuckled, "The way I figure it, I helped her realize something about herself, so, it's all fine."
Holly J smiled. Adam breathed deeply as he felt the anesthetic taking affect, and a doctor came.
"Alright, Grace. Ready to go?" said the doctor rhetorically, simply reading from his name tag. Adam just gave him a thumbs up without lifting his arm.
"Good luck, Adam!" Holly J called to him. He smiled before falling unconscious.
COMMERCIAL BREAK.
