Summary: A new girl comes to Eden Hall, befriending Adam. He's able to tell her anything he wants to. Except for one thing. She's falling in love with the guy he's falling in love with. *SLASH*

Author's Note: This is my first shot at MD slash so please bear with me here.

This is slash so if you don't like it…DON'T READ IT!     

Disclaimer: I only own Kori, Shane, Jordan, Bryan, Jesse, and Fulton's girlfriend (who's Kori's roomate but she's not really in this story.)

Adam

***

            I felt really horrible for Kori. She definitely didn't deserve anything that had been dished to her by Jesse, that son of a fucking bitch. What right did he have to go and trash her heart without so much as a reason? I sighed in frustration. There had to be something I could do to cheer her up, but what could it be?

            "Adam?" someone knocked on my door. Sighing I got up to go get it. Didn't Portman have the key? But when I opened it, my breath caught in my throat. It was Charlie.

            "Um…hey."

            "Hi…So what are y-you up to today?" My heart beat at an increasing speed.

            "N-nothing really. Why?"

            "No reason." Suddenly I had an idea.

            "Charlie?"

            "Yeah?"

            "Kori's upset about something; really upset. We should do something to make it up to her."

            "Is she okay? What can we do?" Charlie was immediately interested. I smirked and pulled him into the room. Shutting the door behind him, I motioned for him to take a seat somewhere. He plopped himself down onto Portman's bed. I dropped onto the floor. First, we'd make Kori happy again. Then, I'd attack him with kisses.

            I told Charlie about my plan and quickly we went to work on it. We grabbed the school directory and looked up the schedule for free time. We hastily took a bus over to the nearest department store and picked up a few supplies. When we got back, Charlie used my cell phone to make reservations; to make sure that no one else was there when we would be there. I used the room phone and called up Kori.

            "Hello?" she picked up tiredly on the other end. 

            "Hey Kori, feeling up for some excitement today?" I asked her.

            "Today? Sorry, I don't really…"

            I cut her off, "That's great! Meet me in the school parking lot."

            "What? When? Where?"

            "School parking lot," I repeated before looking over at Charlie who'd already hung-up. He held up six fingers. I nodded, "At six tonight."

            "Why?"

            "Sorry, I have to go. I'll see you later!" I hung-up before she could react. Charlie and I broke into a fit of laughter, holding on to each other for support. I looked up in the middle of a fit and caught Charlie's eye. Our giggles subsided as quickly as they came, falling into a loud silence. We stared at each other, less than a centimeter apart, my heart beating at a rate that would kill the driver of a car should it have crashed. The blood was rushing to my head and I couldn't think straight anymore. All I was visualizing was Charlie and me. Together. Kissing. That was the trigger. That was it. I leaned closer to him and he leaned closer to me, our lips on the verge of touching into what would be considered a kiss. But the door creaked and we jumped apart, both a furious shade of red.

            "Hey guys," Portman nodded at both of us.

            "H-hey," Charlie stuttered. I made myself busy as I packed up what I needed to bring with me to meet Kori in the parking lot.

            "We should get going," I said hastily to Charlie. He nodded and, without a good-bye, we fled out of my room. As Charlie packed his stuff in his room, my thoughts wandered. What was that little lean in he did as I was leaning towards him? Did that mean that he could possibly love me too? I mean I already knew that he was interested in men and he knew that I was too. 'Adam, shut up. You're being delirious!' I told myself. But still, a little part of me knew I wasn't being delirious. And I liked that little part of me better.

            "Let's go." Charlie came out of his room. Neither of us said a word about what happened in my room before Portman came in. Actually, neither of us said a word at all. It was exactly six when we reached the parking lot and I could see Kori in the distance, walking towards us. Even in the way that she walked, I could tell that the day hadn't been easy for her to get through. My blood boiled through my veins and I wanted to find that Jesse guy right that second and punch him as hard as I could.

            "Hi!" I smiled at the smaller girl. Kori forced a smile back.

            "Hey Adam. Hi Charlie. What's up?"

            "Come with us," Charlie pulled on her arm and started to run. I lugged all our equipment and pulled up the rear.

            "But wait, where are we going?!" Kori yelled after Charlie.

            He didn't respond. Kori cast a glance over her shoulder at me and I just shrugged. We reached the building and the two of us practically pushed Kori inside. She froze and her eyes widened.

            "Wh-what are we doing here?" she asked fearfully.

            "You taught me how to overcome my fears," I told her, "Now you're going to overcome yours." Charlie thrust the bag with the bathing suit in it to her in agreement.

            "No, you guys I haven't been in a pool for the longest time! I can't do this!"

            "You'll never know unless you try. I hope that's the right size. We were having a hard time with the sizes at the store. It's a 32."

            "That's my size," she responded automatically before blushing.

            "Come on Kori," I pleaded with her, "Please just try it. For us." She looked at Charlie and then she looked at me and I tilted my head towards Charlie. She squeezed her eyes shut before entering the locker room. She was going to do it.
