Chapter 12

"Hey handsome. Are we still on for tonight?" Drew looks over at his girlfriend before closing his locker. "Oh sorry Fi, but I have stuff with the guys that I have to take care of"

"Then just blow them off. Drew we barely hang out or do anything together anymore except for last night" Fiona really wanted to push the other thoughts out of her head for a while and thought more than anything that her boyfriend would be on board with that. "I'm sorry, but I can't just blow…this…off" Drew looks over at Bianca winking and holds back a grin. "So the guys before your girlfriend? Thank Drew. Now I know where I stand with you" Drew didn't say or stop her from walking away. He closes his locker and looks back at the brunette, making eye contact with her. He knew he couldn't wait for school to be over with already.

"What was that?" Clare stares at her boyfriend who paces back and forth in front of her then stops midway in the hallway to look at her. "Drew is cheating on Fiona" comes out of Eli's mouth without a second thought. He feels a little better as it came out.

"What?" Clare questions, thinking she must have misheard Eli. "Drew is cheating on Fiona with Bianca. The day you stayed for yearbook? I caught them" Clare takes in the new information, in a way not all that surprised by it seeing as it was her best friend who Drew had also cheated on. "I can't believe him and with Bianca? Again? God if he just wanted to be with Bianca, then he should just be"

"He knows I know and I really would love to tell Adam…"

"He doesn't know? Eli"

"What? You want me to hurt him even more than he is hurting now with all this?"

"No but at least tell Fiona? It was horrible how Alli find out. She should at least know about it"

"I think you're right" Eli sighs looking over at his girlfriend. "Thanks" he says to her, grabbing her hand. "What would I do without you?" he smirks at her before they walk away, Eli's eyes darting the hallways for a sign of Fiona.

"Guys suck" Fiona walks into the cafeteria, taking a seat next to her best friend who carelessly stares off into space. "Hello? Earth to Holly J? you there?"

"Huh?" Holly J looks at the girl she had just had in her mind a few seconds ago. She couldn't believe Fiona's luck. Not only was she dating a guy with a clearly tainted reputation around school, but for him to continue his cheating ways while with her? Holly J's blood was boiling.

"I said guys suck. I told Drew that we should spend more time together and he completely blows me off to spend time with some of his friends from football."

"So? Spend time with Adam" Holly J tells her. Fiona rolls her eyes. "Another problem?" Holly J asks. "We're just on different pages, you know? He told me he likes me and I told how I felt and now…"

"You're with his brother. Yeah…Fi?

"Mmm?"

"Did Drew say where he was meeting the boys at? After school?"

"Well no. Not really. Why?"

"I need to tell you something, but I want to get proof first. Do you have your cell with you?" Fiona nods before taking it out. "Ask him if he is going to the Dot after school" Fiona sends her boyfriend a quick message before asking her best friend what was going on.

"I need proof."

"Proof? Proof for w...Ok he texts me saying yeah that he was just going to be stopping by before heading to his friend's house"

"Great. Text him that you are going to be at Little Miss Steaks tonight with me."

"Why?"

"Just do it" Fiona was more than confused, but decided to go along with it.

"Ok done. Now want to tell me why I just did all that?"

"We are going to follow him and see what he is really up to."

Adam walked the halls by himself, thinking of how things got so crazy and dramatic with all this. That's when he spotted her. "Hey can we talk about last night?" Katie and Marisol shared a look before Marisol politely left them alone, turning around once behind Adam's back and gesturing to her friend to tell her everything later on.

Katie looked at the younger boy "I'm sorry for just kind of blowing you off through the movie" Adam was bad at apologizing but knew Katie deserved better. "I wanted to ma"

"Again? Look Adam why don't you just go out with Fiona already and leave me out of it" Adam's shock look gave Katie the chance to start to walk away. "Wait wait" Adam ran up and stopped right in front of her. Katie rolled her eyes. "Please move" she readjusted her grip on her books as Adam put his head down and rubbed the back of his neck with his free hand. "Look Fiona and me are nothing ok? She's just a friend, well not even that. She's my brother's girlfriend, but that's it!"

"So she means nothing to you?" Katie questions.

Adam sat on the outside bleachers looking at Drew run a typical HB ISO when he heard something to his side. He looked up and saw Fiona putting her book down to her side before taking a seat. "Oh hey" he said to her. She looked and did a double take. "Hey Adam! What brings…oh Drew of course. Sorry, dumb question" she smiled at him and he chuckled back.

"Hike!" was heard from the field as his brother ran a play action call before throwing it down to K.C running the corner route who caught it. "Do you understand any of this?" Fiona asked him. He had been so busy looking at the play and seeing it play out that he hadn't notice her. "Yeah a little. My dad's a big football fan so we watched it constantly as kids."

"Why don't you play?"

"I uhhh rather watch" he lied

"So care to teach me something to do with this sport that my boyfriend seems to be so crazy about?"

Adam looked up at her, meeting her eyes. That was the first time she had called his brother her boyfriend. It almost felt out of place. He got up and grabbed his back pack as he started to walk to where she was sitting, feeling his palms a little sweaty and not knowing why. They had talked a few times before which made it all the more strange for him that his body was reacting this way towards her. Fiona patted the empty space beside her as he took it.

"Ok so…" she stared at him with those beautiful eyes of hers that he felt for a moment brain dead. "Uhh..uhh yeah so Drew is the quarterback and you see al those big guys in front of him?" she nodded as he pointed down at the players. "They are his offensive line they protect him from…"

"Adam?" Katie looks at him as he shakes his head, no doubt in deep thought.

"Yeah?"

"I said she means nothing to you?" Katie tells him again, this time going slower, not trying to lose his concentration on the topic at hand.

"Yes. She means nothing."

"Then see you at 4 after school and no double date ok? Just you and me and the Dot. Sound good?" Katie smiles at him while he puts on a believable fake smile on his face in return and nods.
