"I'm sorry." Drew said immediately when he noticed Fiona stomping towards him in the lunch room. She slammed down in the seat across from him, barely registering the apology. She opened her mouth to say something and Drew winced, waiting for the onslaught of insults he'd receive for caving in and telling Adam. He had prepared a speech in his defense but it all flew out the window the minute he saw Fiona stomping towards him.
"I have to ask you something." She said, startling him. He peeked an eye open to make sure she wasn't joking. When he realized she wasn't he relaxed his muscles, trying to ignore her arched eyebrow. "Are you…nervous?"
"Shut up," Drew said immediately, tossing a fry in his mouth. Eli and Clare were both in line, watching the two converse. Clare was nervously nibbling on her lip and not paying attention to the food that she put on her tray while Eli waited for the blood and cuts. They both thought Fiona was going to give him crap for telling Adam about the party. "What did you want to ask me?" he asked, growing curious. Her eyes darkened slightly and her eyes grew worried.
"It's about Adam," she said and Drew sighed. He should've expected that. It was obvious to anyone that knew her that she had the biggest crush on Adam. He actually thought it was nice and approved of her, but he doubted Adam would ever get over the traumatizing experience with Bianca and find the courage to date again. Of course he didn't tell that to her because he didn't know for sure. Adam was a major flirt whenever they went out on Bro's Night (not to be confused with Eli and Adam's guy's night) "And the fact that his Grams is coming."
"Oh don't worry," Drew said, a smile slipping onto his face. "My mom's cool with Adam being Adam and finally telling Gram-our grandma." He quickly corrected himself. It would be bad for his reputation if people started finding out he called his grandmother 'Grams'. When Adam said it; it was different because he was younger and knew her all his life. Fiona seemed confused for a second and she started smoothing down her dress.
"He told you that he was going to introduce his Grams to Adam?" she asked slowly and Drew's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. He didn't know why but he felt his stomach clench with uneasiness, wondering why Fiona was cautiously waiting for his reply. Eli and Clare took their usual seats at the table when he finally nodded.
"Yeah… why?" he asked slowly. Eli and Clare both looked in between the two, wondering what they had missed.
"Because he told us that he wasn't sure if he was ready to introduce her to him…" Fiona said and Drew's eyebrows shot up.
"What?" he stuttered out, wondering exactly why Adam would say that. He looked at Eli and Clare for verification. Clare nodded sadly and he could tell from Eli's expression that it really happened. "Why would he say that?" Drew asked. When he didn't get a reply he realized they expected him to know the answer to that particular question. He tried to think of a reason for Adam to not want to tell Grams, but he couldn't come up with anything.
"Where is he?" Clare piped up, glancing around. All four of them suddenly realized they were missing the topic of their conversation and glanced around. When they didn't see him anywhere in the cafeteria they returned their attention to each other.
"Is he—is he avoiding us?" Fiona asked carefully. The thought of Adam avoiding them brought a familiar feeling of déjà vu. He had been constantly avoiding all of them when he had hung out with Fitz. Her eyes widened at the thought of Fitz and she whipped around to face his usual table. She sighed in relief when she saw the Neanderthal was sitting at his table and not off bullying Adam.
"I think he is…" Clare replied, sounding guilty and upset.
xxxxxxx
"Maybe having lunch detention will get the two of you to stop fighting in the middle of my class." Mr. Drayson scolded, glaring down at the two students. Bianca and Adam sat a few feet apart on the stairs that led down into the remedial gym room. It would've been humorous that the two had similar positions; arms crossed over chest, glaring at everything except each other with clenched jaws, if they hadn't been in trouble. "Now; you both are going to sit here and say nothing while I quickly prepare for next hours ping pong competition." He shot another warning glare in their direction before starting out of the room. Once they were finally gone Bianca sneered.
"Freak." She snapped.
"Slut." Adam shot back without even batting an eye. Her eyes narrowed even more. She liked it better when he had no backbone and just took whatever insult she threw at him. It was always the Goth freak or saint that would throw an insult back at her in the hallways. The term 'insult' was used loosely since little Saint Clare would just tell her to leave him alone. Now Goth boys were a little more interesting and creative.
"Gracie." He immediately stiffened and she smirked triumphantly. She always felt slightly guilty whenever she used his birth name to win their little insult wars. It really seemed to upset him, but she always forced that thought aside and told herself that she didn't care if he was upset. It was the ace up her sleeve and almost always made her win their arguments.
"Drop dead." Adam hissed harshly before pulling himself off the steps and stomping away from her. Her eyebrows rose at his retreating figure and she watched him sit down in one of the seats. She could still project her voice so he could hear but she bit back her snappy retort and decided to study her nails instead.
Adam was interesting, but she knew if she spent too much time trying to torture him she'd regret it.
