Adams POV
He sat directly across from Ali half listening to her talk about how all boys are useless, lying, bastards. He occasionally stole glances at that girl. Adam would admit he had a crush on her, but he knew things could never work out the way he wished they would.
"Adam are you even listening to me?" He looked at Ali and by her facial expression she was annoyed.
"Yep." She pursed her lips."All guys are jerks." He recited her exact words, making her smile from cheek to cheek.
"I'm glad some guys listen." Ali continued rambling, while he continued admiring the girl from afar.
"Omg, you like her." Ali squeaked, jumping up and down in her cafeteria chair. "You like Fiona Coyne." Adam looked down trying to hide the fact that he was blushing.
"That's her name?" He didn't deny it, just avoided trying to talk about it.
"Go talk to her."
"No, not gonna happen." Adam crossed his arm showing Ali he was serious. But that didn't stop her from calling out Fiona's name. He panicked and got up from the table walking away, ignoring Ali's calls for him. He was almost out the door when he ran smack into someone. Adam hurriedly picked up the papers, not caring to look at the person he knocked over, that is until he saw the name on the papers. Fiona Coyne, it read.
Adam stared at the paper that showed a sketch of a skinny model wearing a red dress. He had to say something. Think Adam Think, he told himself.
"This is, uh, really good." He looked up at her nervously, but to his dismay she was smiling. He smiled back, not sure what to say next.
Finally she spoke."Ya, think because I really wasn't sure. I was worried the color was too bright or-" She stopped talking, and Adam's smile dropped. "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to bore you."
"No, you didn't bore me." He spoke a little louder, than what he had meant to. Adam felt like maybe this could happen, but he quickly stopped himself. She was too pretty, too popular, and a girl like that would never go for a guy like him
"Really?"
"Yea, maybe you could tell me about it some other time, like at the Dot after school?" He cursed himself for pushing it so far, it was a wonder she was even talking to him.
He silently waited for her to turn him down. "Sure I'd love to. How about today after school?"
"Excuse me?" He hadn't meant to sound mean, Adam was just really surprised. He watched as her face dropped, and he mentally cursed himself for being so stupid. "I mean yes, I'll be there." She beamed at him and walked away. Adam was left, still sitting on the cafeteria floor holding the drawing created by the one and only, Fiona Coyne.
Adam waited as Fiona got their drinks. She met him after school and they had been talking about anything and everything under the sun. Adam learned that she had a twin brother, Declan and how they had lived all around the world. He hadn't shared much about himself, just listened to her. Fiona returned with their drinks, complaining about how busy the Dot was. She then went into how she had designed uniforms for her old school and proceeded to showing him designs she worked up for Degrassi. Adam was about to compliment her skills when his phone buzzed from inside is pocket.
Eli: Coffee at the dot with me and Clare.
"Sorry, my friend wanted to get coffee, just let me reply back."
"No, invite your friend, the more the merrier." She grinned at Adam, sipping her coffee. He was still in shock that he was sitting at the Dot with her, he didn't need Eli and his sarcasm messing things up. Adam sighed, texting Eli back.
Adam: Sure. See you there
Adam and Fiona began talking again, while waiting for Eli and Clare. He was laughing at something Fiona said, when he noticed Eli and Clare walking in. Clare found them, and slide into the seat next to Fiona, giving a small hi, before ordering. Fiona continued talking making them all laugh, but Adam couldn't help but notice the silent conversation they were having with their eyes. Clare shrugged, Eli nodded and before Adam could register what had happened, Clare asked Fiona to accompany her to the ladies room and Fiona happily obliged, leaving him and Eli alone.
"So Fiona Coyne." Eli drew out Fiona's name trying to indicate something Adam couldn't pick up. "You like her." Eli said bluntly. He nodded; a bit surprised that he was so easy to read.
"You asked her to come here." Adam nodded, still trying to figure out what Eli was hinting around.
"Oh." He squinted trying to figure out what Eli was thinking, when it hit him like a ton of bricks.
"What are you trying to say?" He didn't wait for an answer. "So, you think that a guy like me couldn't get a date with a girl like her?" Adam knew it wasn't exactly a date, but he was trying to make a point.
"That's not what I was going to say." He looked at Eli and gave him an "oops" smile. "I was going to say, I didn't know you were such the ladies man." He chuckled feeling a bit embarrassed, because he had just accused Eli of thinking something, that Adam, had thought himself.
"We're back." Adam turned his head to see Clare and Fiona making their way to the two boys. Clare leaned in to give Eli a kiss. Adam gagged at his friend's pda, while Fiona fawned. When they were done Fiona started showing Clare her designs and Eli showed him a new comic. After another hour of conversing Clare announced she had to get home and Eli was here ride, so he was once again alone with Fiona.
"Thanks, for hanging out with me today." Adam smiled, not quite sure why Fiona was thanking him.
"You're welcome, but why are you thanking me?"
"Well, I don't have many friends and it's been awhile since I've gone out and actually had fun, with genially nice people." She smiled brightly at Adam. He was surprised that a beautiful, fun loving girl like Fiona didn't have many friends.
"Well, I'm glad I could keep you company." They talked a little more and then Adam's mom called saying he needed to come home.
"I really had fun tonight Adam."
"Me too." Fiona beamed at Adam, before leaning down and kissing his cheek. He didn't have time to speak because Fiona had already gotten into a cab and rode away.
Adam walked all the way home grinning like an idiot.
Clare's POV
Clare was ridding home with Eli when she saw a familiar boy playing basketball at the park. She stared at him and something in his eyes worried Clare, so she demanded Eli stop the car. He did, but Clare could tell he didn't want to. She got out of morty and began making her way to the basketball court. She stood there for a while before the boy noticed her.
"Hey." She could tell he had been crying.
"How are you K.C?" He looked at Clare and walked over to the wooden bench motioning for her to follow.
"I messed up Clare." She wasn't sure what he was talking about, but Clare figured it had to do with Jenna.
"Why did you leave her K.C?" Clare was tired and just wanted to sleep, but she knew that she wouldn't be able to sleep knowing that someone was hurting.
"It all started when I found out my mom got out of jail..." She listened to him that was all he really needed someone to talk to. Clare knew that sometimes people needed to let go, but it was hard to do that when people were so judge mental. After they talked K.C walked home and Clare started her way back to morty.
"Did you have fun?" Clare could see the sarcasm oozing from Eli's comment.
"He was really upset about ditching Jenna, we were just talking." She looked over at Eli who was smiling.
"I wasn't accusing you of anything Clare; I know you wouldn't cheat on me." She smiled reassuringly.
They arrived at her house, and they both sat in silence. Clare looked over at Eli whose eyes were straight ahead. He didn't exactly look mad nor did he look upset. The emotion that he had in his eyes was something Clare didn't recognize on Eli. Was he jealous that she had talked to K.C? She had only talked to K.C for about 10 minutes. Clare looked at her phone, to check the time, 9:45. That didn't make sense, she and Eli left the Dot at 8:45 and it only took 15 minutes to get to her house. So Clare had to have talked to K.C for a good 30 minutes. Now she knew why he was jealous. Clare was too tired to approach the problem, so gave Eli a quick kiss before disappearing into her house.
As Clare lay in her bed, she couldn't help but giggle at the thought of her Eli being jealous.
Authors Note: Love it? Hate it? Oh, and I wanted to thank DegrassiMC for the idea of a jealous Eli, I'm not sure how I want it to go but I'll figure it out. Review please!
