"You Don't Want Me" – Part 12

Summary in part 1.

A/N: adriancfc - Can't send a PM, so I'll respond here.

I agree it's overkill too! Then again Mrs. Torres is nutty. The way she treated Alli was uncalled for, so I think she would also interfere with Adam dating. However, in this story part of her motivation for not wanting Adam to date is that she's still coming to terms with Adam being transgendered. She knows she's not going to wake up one day and suddenly have her daughter Grace back, but dating is another thing that hammers it home that there's no going back. She's also uncomfortable with the idea of her "daughter" dating a girl, so there's that too.

Hope this makes sense! Okay, onto the next part!

Adam stared at the clock. Third period couldn't be over soon enough. He was counting the minutes until he could meet Fiona by her locker. Last night had been brutal. He had lost his phone, tv, and internet privileges. He was able to sneak Fiona a quick note from Drew's computer right before going to bed. His mother was watching him like a hawk. It was unpleasant.

As he pulled his eyes away from the clock he noticed Alli was staring at him. "What?"

She shrugged and looked away.

Ten minutes later the bell rang. Adam shot up from his seat. He grabbed his bag and headed towards the door.

"Adam," he heard. He sighed and turned around. It was Alli.

"I'm sorry about the other day," she told him. He looked at her, waiting for her to explain. "I didn't know laughing about you and Fiona would bother you so much."

Adam furrowed his brows. "Okay," he said slowly. He was surprised to hear her words but anxious to leave. "I have to go."

Moments later he smiled at the sight of Fiona closing her locker. Seeing her in the morning was his favorite part of the day.

"Fiona!" he called. She looked up and smiled.

"I see you're still alive," she teased. He grinned at her and took her books.

"Guess you can say I'm on life support," he said grimly. He wished he could put his arm around her.

"I missed you," she said sincerely. Adam felt a swell of emotion at her words.

"I missed you too. A lot," he told her. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Fitz leering at them.

Bianca came up beside her friend. She followed his gaze and frowned. "You've got to be kidding me," she said to him.

Fitz turned to her with a dark smile. "Something like that."

Bianca raised an eyebrow. "You know something I don't?"

Fitz smirked at her. He looked at the couple as they parted ways. "Check out the Anti- Grapevine," he said proudly.

"You have to come with me!"

Fiona was startled. "What the hell Holly J?"

She shrugged. "I didn't mean to scare you. There's something you need to see."

Fiona furrowed her brows. "Can't it wait? I'm meeting with Adam for lunch."

Holly J shook her head. "Trust me," she said as she pulled her friend into the Media lab.

She picked a computer on the far corner of the room. "Come on," she muttered to herself as the screen warmed up. "There!"

Fiona looked at her confused, "The Anti- Grapevine?"

Her friend nodded. "You guys finally have a story."

"I don't care about gossip," Fiona said and started to stand up.

"Will you just read it?" Holly J said exasperated.

After a pause Fiona sat down and looked at the screen.


Faking It?

Yesterday some gossip came out that made everyone scratch their heads. It sounded so incredulous that I spent the day searching for sources. In the evening I got an anonymous tip that placed it all in perspective.

This story involves an unlikely romance. I won't mention names because the last time I mentioned one half of this couple I received a 'cease and desist' letter from her family lawyer. Let's just say the rumor is that a certain socialite started dating a former female student. Such a pairing flies in the face of the social order at Degrassi, so of course everyone has been talking about it!

However, I received word that this couple is FAKE. Last year the same socialite 'dated' a closeted football player. This relationship caused their popularity to soar even though it turned out to be a fraud. Miss Socialite is up to her old tricks for attention and former female student benefits by dating a 'hot chick'. One would think that both parties would know lying eventually catches up with you…
