A/N: It's time for them to talk! YAY! review please! So I'll know to update!

Annabelle waited patiently outside of Degrassi. It was almost 8 a.m. and Adam still hadn't shown up. She knew that if he didn't show up there was nothing to talk about or discuss, they were over. She wanted him to show up, she NEEDED him to show up. She didn't want to jump back into a relationship with him, but she wanted to work on things together. She wanted him to feel comfortable talking to her about anything. She was pulled from her thoughts as Adam cleared his throat.

"Hey." She said quietly to him. He walked closer to her and sat down on the step beside her.

"Hey.." He replied just as quietly. This was awkward and Annabelle hated that.

"Listen, I'm sorry for how I ended things Adam." She blurted out.

"I deserved it." He let out a loud sigh and broke eye contact from her.

"You let Gracie come between us." She said in a matter of fact way.

"I know Annabelle but Gracie is apart of me." He replied.

"I understand that, but when you're angry about something to do with your past you shouldn't take it out on people Adam." She let out a loud breath. She was getting more upset as they talked. Not angry but sad.

"I'm working on that." He looked at her with a sad look. "Maybe if you talked to Clare you would have known that."

"I couldn't talk to Clare, she was always with you and Eli." She said. She rolled her eyes. Maybe this wasn't a good idea, and maybe it was better if the two just acted like the other didn't exist.

"I'm just going to go." She said. She quickly gathered her things and started down the stairs.

"Annabelle wait." Adam hurried to catch up with her. "I want to start everything over. I want us to be friends." He said sincerely.

"Then instead of being an asshole be nice to me." Annabelle said with an annoyed tone. Adam nodded his head as she turned and walked away from him. He was going to try this time and he hoped Annabelle could forgive him in time.

There was still twenty minutes until school started, so Annabelle decided to go for a short walk to clear her head after the morning talk with Adam. She wasn't sure if Adam was sincere about what he'd said, but she decided to at least try to get along with him. She was wrapped in her thoughts and soon realized it was already time for the day to begin. It was a new day and she was going to try and make the best out of it. She hurried into class as the bell rang and took her usual seat next to Adam. She glanced over and flashed a smile at him and he happily returned it. Annabelle looked over at K.C. and smiled at him also. He'd been a friend when she needed one and just because Adam and her had talked didn't mean she'd stop being friends with him.

"Okay class you can have a few minutes to talk." The teacher said to the class. Annabelle turned to Adam and smiled. She didn't know if they were back on regular speaking terms.

"How's your project coming a long?" He asked her.

"We haven't started yet. He's coming over tomorrow." She said nervously. Her and Adam weren't together but she still knew that mentioning K.C. might upset Adam.

Adam nodded his head, "Clare and Eli finished ours up last night."

"You're lucky, you have the genius Clare in your group." She said with a laugh.

"You should sit with us at lunch." He said sincerely.

"We'll see." She replied as the bell rang. She left the room in a hurry. Things between her and Adam were still weird and she didn't know how change it. Annabelle had decided to talk to Clare and apologize for being rude the last few weeks. She searched for her in the hallway finally finding her next to Eli's locker.

"Clare.." Annabelle said quietly as she walked up behind her.

"Hey." Clare responded sweetly.

"I need to apologize Clare." Annabelle took in a few deep breaths.

"Don't apologize for anything. It's water under the bridge." She smiled at Annabelle before pulling her into a friendly hug.

"If you don't sit with us at lunch, I'm going to kill myself." Eli pause briefly. "This one has missed you." He said referring to Clare. Annabelle laughed happily with the two friends she'd missed.

"Well, we'd better get going." Annabelle flashed one more smile at Clare and Eli before starting down the hallway to the gym.

Annabelle quickly walked down the hallway with a smile on her face. Things were starting to be normal again. She sat down on the bleachers and waited for the teacher to tell them what random sport they'd be doing today. Adam took a seat next to her and she smiled. Everything's going to be okay, she thought quietly to herself as she looked back at Adam. The teacher soon told them that today would a free day, something that didn't happen often.

Adam instantly turned to Annabelle, "So, you talked to Clare.." He said.

"They already told you?" Annabelle said confused.

"Nope, you just did." He said with a laugh. Annabelle shook her head as they both laughed.

"That's not funny." She said happily.

They both talked to each the entire class period and Annabelle could feel things slowly starting to return to normal. She honestly didn't know if things would return back to the way they were, but she sure was hoping. When the bell rang for lunch, they both gathered their things and started outside.

"Hey how about we just sit together today?" He asked her.

"You mean alone?" Annabelle questioned him.

"I have a lot to apologize for Annabelle." He said sincerely.

"Okay, lead the way." She said nervously.
