Hey guys, chapter 3 as promised. Enjoy

Fiona's Point Of View:

Math. A class I really don't like. I came into the class and saw Holly J and a seat was saved for me next to her. Smiling while approaching the seat I realized Holly J was looking at me strangely,"Holly to the J!" I said in a really preppy tone, "How's it going?"

"Am doing good, and I can tell someone's in a great mood. May I ask why?" Holly J said.

"Yes you may ask," I said while I watched Holly J waiting for me to continue, "well..."

"Hey class," I heard the teacher say when he entered the room, "find a partner and work on this packet." Great another packet, no wonder everyone hated math. I passed the papers to the people behind me. Then slide my desk next to Holly J's to work with her.

"You can continue now. " HJ said again.

"Well... if the answer is suppose to be negative, then.." I smiled knowing that pretending to work on the packet will get Holly J annoyed.

"Talk." She said forcefully.

"Well you know Adam's in my art class right?" Holly J nodded, then I continued "We had a nice chat and well I was actually surprised that he wasn't giving me the silent treatment or glares."

I suddenly saw the change in face on my friends face, "What's up?" I asked curiously wondered why she had that expression on that face.

"I kinda went to the party he threw for you..." Holly J was saying

"Weren't you suppose to be working that day?" I interrupted her.

"Um, yes. I'll explain that later, can I continue?" I nodded and she continued talking. "Well, he came up to me for your address. Being the nice person I am I gave it to him. When I looked up at him he looked sad and confused. Clearly disappointed, and it was kinda obvious that you not coming was the cause of this. So I know your not that mean to ditch him like that. So why is it that you did?" Holly J said.

I knew the answer already, but honestly I didn't want to tell her about the reason why here in the middle of class. There were people all around, I knew if I started talking I would end up in tears. "Never mind, you can tell me why later. I have a feeling I know the answer already." Holly J said.

"Yeah it's kinda hard to talk about it, especially here in the middle of class. I guess I'll tell you more specifically when you tell me why you went to the party. " I said. "Can I continue now?" Holly J was about to nod, but then opened her mouth to speak.

"Actually, I have to tell you something else Fi." I looked at her more intensely, wondering if it was something good or bad. Before I can open my mouth to ask, she continued. " I kinda mentioned something to Adam at the party. Like I said he came up to me and looked, well you know, sad. So I realized that telling him that you like him very much will brighten his mood a little, but I also kinda mentioned something else."

"And that is?" I asked nervously.

"I hinted that you have had a difficult past." She said in a rush.

"Wait, you told him I have had a bad past?" She nodded. I looked down at my math packet. I wasn't angry at Holly J for saying that. I actually think this was possibly the reason he didn't mention it during class.

"Honestly Fi, I think he cares about you a lot. I won't be surprised if this is the reason he didn't ask you during class. That or he can't hold a grudge." I looked up at her in shock at how she can tell what am thinking. I considered her words thinking that she's right. Poor Adam didn't wanna bring it up. He didn't want me to think of it, he really did care.

"So now why again are you so darn cheery?" Holly J interrupted my thoughts.

I smiled and said, "I invited him to have lunch with me at the dot, and he said yes!"

"Congrats, Fi. You have completely fallen for the Torres boy." She joked. Ah Holly J, always getting rid of the tension in the conversation. "Now lets get started on this packet." She said.

"Thanks HJ."

She gave me a questioning look, "For what?"

"For being there for me."

She smiled, "Hey that's what friends are for." I nodded in agreement and looked at the clock above the door. Crap! We have 15 minutes left to finish this. Just when I started to panic I saw someone passing the door, it was Adam. I waved like crazy until he saw me; he waved back with a ear to ear smile.

I couldn't wait for lunch.

"Ah, the love birds." I turned and looked at Holly J with my eyebrows raised. "I meant ah, the lo...w numbers. Low numbers, gotta hate those low numbers."

Adam's Point Of View:

I continued walking to my English class. During class Ms. Dawes told us to get into groups, so he joined up with his best friends. They were suppose to be explaining to each other the story of Macbeth. Obviously when Eli and Clare are grouped together they don't work on what their suppose to, they work on each other.

I decided to take a break and go to the bathroom when I noticed someone waving at me like crazy. I saw Fiona's face and instantly smiled. She was with Holly J, when I left I realized Fiona had rose her eyebrows at Holly J, while Holly J muttered something. She must of said something interesting.

When I walked into the classroom, thinking about Fiona, I was deep into thought.

Eli had his signature smirk on his face, "Spill." he said. Clear and simple. While Clare waited for me to answer.

"Um, I won't be there at lunch today. Am gonna meet Fiona at the dot." They both started at me with their jaws dropped.

"Hold the phone, your going with Fiona. The girl who stood you up at your party, that you threw for her. The girl who hurt your feelings and ..."

"Enough," Clare said, "Adam probably has a good reason as to why he is going with Fiona. Knowing our friend Adam, he can't hold a grudge. So, he probably forgave her the moment she walked through the door. "

I gave a smirk realizing what Clare said was true. They both started at me intensely waiting for me to tell them what happened.

"Clare's right," I said. I noticed Clare smiling as she stuck her tongue out at Eli, while Eli rolled his eyes. "I acted like myself during Art and talked to her about random things. Around the end of class she asked me to join her at the dot and I agreed. Simple as that."

"She's giving into your Adam charm, my man! Gonna make your move at the dot?" Eli said with a smile on his face.

"No, were just friends. Nothing more, nothing less." I said trying to convince him, and myself.

"What made you forgive her so easily?" Eli asked. Clare was preparing to listen carefully at what Adam would say next.

I have thought about this so much. Honestly, I don't know for sure. Maybe it was what Holly J said to me at the party. "She has had a rough past, and it's kinda difficult to start something new." These words were in my mind the whole time I was talking to Fiona at art. Did she have a rough relationship before? Would it hurt her to bring it up again? I didn't know the answers, but I wanted to. I just knew Art was terrible timing. I have promised myself I won't bring it up until she mentions it.

"You don't have to tell us Adam if you don't want to." Clare said.

"Yeah, it looks like your short circuiting there." Eli said.

I rolled my eyes at him. "Thanks Clare. I just haven't really figured out the answer to that question yet."

Clare suddenly turned and looked at me carefully and said, "Then what are you going to say if she asks you the same question?"

A/N: This chapter was longer than the other 2. i was debating whether or not to split it into 2 different chapters: 1 on Fiona/Holly J the other Adam/Clare/Eli. but just kept it together. next chapter the dot.
please review. gracias.
