No Surprises, Episode 21

Miles begins to question his family life after discovering a shocking secret, and Clare reveals her secret to Adam. Meanwhile, Dallas wants to be with Alli, but her relationship with Leo could send him over the edge.

Clare jumped up and down in excitement.

"Guys, we're going bungee jumping!"

Drew, Adam, and Becky all stared at her random outburst. In walked Conner and Jenna and they laughed at everyone's expressions, "I guess she told you her plans?"

"I've been cancer free for six months, I think this is a way to live." Clare began to explain in hopes they would tag along, well at least Adam and Becky. Drew was still a last minute option since Eli couldn't make it. She hoped there would be no awkwardness since the kiss was something they chose to avoid conversation about.

Adam grinned, "For someone who has been shot-" Everyone but Becky groaned as he use to bring that up and his wound on several occasions. "As I was saying, I am excited and totally with you Clare." He drapes an arm over her shoulder. "Becks?"

In all honesty, Becky was terrified. But looking at her boyfriend's excitement and the fact this could be a fun experience with him, she couldn't say no. "Fine." Everyone in the room cheered and now only Drew was left.

"It'll make an even number." Adam persuaded.

Drew looked at the group of friends and felt like he had no choice.

::

"This place is so sweet." Adam grinned as he looked at the lake and where the bungee jumping would be done.

He held hands with Becky and she was sharing his enthusiasm. "Wow, this is amazing. Thank goodness I prayed beforehand because this looks dangerous." She had prayed in the car and made everyone join in who was in the car.

Jenna and Connor had come in Clare's car, while Drew drove his moms van with Adam and Becky. They brought two cars just in case something occurred to one and this way more could be packed.

Clare shouted out for Adam, "Let's go! There's a hike up that takes at least twenty minutes." She waved for the couple and they began to follow.

Drew and Clare kept their distance even though almost everyone in the group knew about their kiss. Adam was the only one unaware, surprisingly, since Becky could hardly keep secrets.

Adam and Clare led the front of the group, as they were the most enthusiastic. Everyone else was surprised at how quickly they seemed to hike up.

"They both almost passed at one point, it makes sense why they're both so energetic." Drew was in the back with Becky as Connor and Jenna were some feet ahead.

Becky nodded, "When he told me about that, I was so shocked that could happen to him."

"It was scary. I'm glad he's still here, along with Clare." The mere though of losing Adam in anyway petrified Drew. Adam was one of the most important people in his life. Becky felt the same way.

"Are you going to tell him anytime soon? I don't think I can hide it anymore." Becky admitted in a whisper. Any sort of secrecy bothered her as she felt like she was lying. Even asking for permission to come here for her parents was hard to lie about, eventually she told the truth but her parents weren't even bothered.

Drew halted to drink water and he exhaled, "I will, don't worry. Or Clare will." Becky stopped beside him and watched Drew catch his breathe, "God, I need to work out more."

She laughed with a nod, "Yeah we're dead last at this race. Here." She had brought a small towel so she used it to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Drew stared at her as she did this. He tried hard but he couldn't help but feel something for this girl.

Lately, he's just been having crushes here and there and he hoped this was nothing huge.

"Becky!" She heard her name being shouted from up top and it was Adam, "Come on!" He flailed his arms around and chuckled with Clare.

"Hurry, you know how impatient he can get." Becky offered her hand and Drew took it.

It only took Adam and Clare about fifteen minutes to make it up the climb. "Come on, we're ready for you guys!"

Jenna and Connor followed right behind a few minutes after. Adam wanted to go down with Becky, so they let Jenna and Connor pass through first. Two would go down at once and come up wet as they were dunked. "Dang it, I don't think I brought clothes."

Clare laughed, "Me either."

The waiting game seemed to be over, as the employees were growing impatient.

"Let's just go." Clare hurried over as she was excited and felt adrenaline rush through her. "I'm sorry you're stuck with little ol' me."

Adam laughed, "It's nothing. We've been best friends for 3 years and we both almost died, so why not experience this together?"

Clare met his eyes and she couldn't help but sigh as they were being strapped in. It was killing her at the fact that was hiding something from him. "I need to tell you something." She honestly didn't know why she hid this from Adam as Drew had dated pretty much anyone Adam was interested. Maybe it was the sense that she knew Adam would want to protect her from getting hurt as Eli constantly hurt her.

One sentence was said and Adam knew about the kiss. He was stunned and hurt. Just when they were about to be pushed down, Becky and Drew reached the top.

The brothers met gazes and Drew knew.

::

"I didn't expect to get wet." Drew laughed as they began to hike down. She wore a white shirt so he tried so hard not to look but with no avail. They had gotten left behind as everyone wanted to go get changed.

Becky was surprised Adam didn't wait, but Adam had left as he had many questions to ask Clare. Everyone only went once as that's what the recommendation was.

"Good thing we brought extra clothes." They had small talk until they reached the cars, where Connor and Jenna were near the lake. Drew looked for his brother but only spotted Clare changing in her car.

Becky and Drew split to different cars, as Drew needed to confront Clare about what she had told Adam.

"Adam?"

Adam was sitting in the trunk of the van, drinking a powerade. He was only wearing his shirt and boxers. "I forgot to bring an extra pair of clothes, so I have to air dry." She was amused of how forgetful he can be from time to time.

Becky was unaware that Adam knew about Clare's secret, but Adam now knew that Becky had known the whole time. This made him a little upset, as he never kept anything from her.

"Guess it was a bad day to wear a white shirt." He wittily said. Becky rolled her eyes and searched for a dress she had packed-she was currently wearing a t-shirt and jean shorts. She sat down next to him as she dried her hair, her eyes glancing to his legs. "How come everyone but me packed clothes?"

"Maybe you forgot clothes on purpose." Becky rummaged through her bag. There was no denial she was attracted to him. Seeing him once in boxers had gotten her curious to pursuing something further with him but her morals still standed. She knew he wore a packer beneath his boxers ever since the cucumber incident that he told her about.

Adam looked up from his phone and now gazed at her. She merely smiled at him before he leaned over to kiss her. No one was around; he had purposely moved the car further away to give them more privacy.

But that didn't keep Becky from pulling away when he had deepened the kiss, "Adam, stop." He kissed at her neck and her eyes closed, enjoying the feel of his lips as he nibbled that certain spot of pleasure. "Stop." She shoved him now to get him off her and he groaned.

"Why?"

She looked at him perplexed, "Because I told you to."

He was agitated, "It's always one thing or another. Is it too windy now or is the sun too much in your face?"

Becky was in awe at his anger; her restrictions had never bothered him before. He put on his shorts then shoes. "Adam?"

"I'll let you change."

This agitated side of him was rare to see, and it surprised her at how offended he had gotten by wanting her space. She was unaware he was more upset about her keeping a secret than not wanting to kiss him.

Drew and Clare glanced at one another as they ate.

They had stopped at a restaurant to grab something to eat and there seemed to be tension with everyone but Connor and Jenna. Adam tried his best to not let his mood be a downer; he was keeping conversation here and there.

Becky sat across Drew and Clare and next to Adam, but it seemed like he was avoiding anyone on his left side. She was still so confused as to why he had snapped at her and she wanted to talk to him but he opted to ride with Connor and Jenna instead.

After the dinner, they split up into cars again. "Come with me." Becky pleaded as she reached for her boyfriend's hand. He limply held hers and he didn't exchange any words as he went back to Clare's car.

"Guess I'm riding with you guys." Clare sighed and hopped into the Torres van, letting Becky ride shotgun.

"He's mad." They all said at once.


hola guys! hope you enjoy. also i have been keeping up with becky & jonah's plot on the tv, which makes it interesting because it'll cause some drama later in this story hehe. also i was wondering if you guys would mind some more filler chapters? degrassi doesn't always show things that occur outside the school, which is disappointing. i usually use the episodes where adam and becky would have no significance to display a filler chapter, such as the date night one. but some chapters do get too lengthy so i just wanted to know!

more filler chapters or just keep a chapter for every episode? also its kind of sad to think becky is leaving soon and theres only 5 episodes left on tv for degrassi before she graduates :( at this point this story will end when i reach that chapter. i might start a new story depending on what i feel like writing. maybe one with them in the summer before college starts? not sure yet.

thanks xx
