It's a quiet ride to school, neither of us are really talkative in the morning. Luckily we have the radio which is playing some indie pop, my favorite. I pull into a parking spot and Drew is already out the door, "Catch you later Adam."
He's probably off to find Bianca. I sit in the car listening to music for a little long. I notice a car pull in next to me. Not really thinking much of it, I continue to just sit there and sing along with the song.
When I hear a tap on the window, I look over and Bianca is standing there. I roll down the window. This is kind of strange. It's not like we avoid each other at school, but we don't deliberately seek each other out either.
"Hey Torres, did you bring your brother to school today?" She asks, glancing toward the empty passenger seat. Oh, she's just here to ask about Drew.
"Yeah he's already inside," I answer. She seems content with the answer but doesn't make a move for the school.
A few moments pass before she says, "You going to make me walk by myself or are you coming?" She asks sassily.
"Coming," I respond. I open the door and step out. I'm only inches from Bianca as we're pressed between our two cars. Her hot breath is hitting my neck and her vanilla perfume is enveloping me. Her eyes look up to meet mine and I can tell the proximity is affecting her too. For a brief moment it feels like there's no one else in this world, just her and I.
I hear the school bell ring in the distance, knocking both of us out of this trance.
She reaches down and grabs my hand, which takes me by surprise, "Come on, we don't want to be late," Bianca says tugging me toward school.
As we walk through the school doors she drops my hand and just walks off. So much for goodbyes.

Bianca's POV
What just happened? I had to ditch Adam at the door, the feelings he gave me were getting to be a little overwhelming. It takes a moment for me to shake the feelings Adam gave me when we were standing so close. And when we were holding hands, did he feel the electricity like I did? It took me back to when we were dance partners in gym class. The way he would hold me as we danced always felt right, like I belonged in his arms.
Snap out of it Bee, just get to class and forget about stupid Adam.
I head into class remembering that Adam and I share the same 1st period class, Chemistry. I turn around to ditch but the teacher walked in right behind me, "Have a seat Ms. DeSousa."
The bell starts to ring and Adam strolls into class just in the nick of time. He takes a seat next to Eli in the back, as for me, I'm stuck in the seat directly in front of him. I can feel his stare but won't allow myself to glance at him. I refuse to acknowledge his presence, it's the only way I can avoid having anymore unwarranted feelings.
I'm trying to focus on the teacher but my thoughts seem to revert back to Adam. He looks good today, even though it's a little douche-y, he looks cute wearing his sunglasses indoors. I don't think I am the only one who noticed either because I hear Becky and Jenna talking about him at the table next to me.
"Adam looks good today," Jenna says while not so subtly checking Adam out.
Becky glances over at him too, "Yeah he does…" She says trailing off and just openly staring.
"Do you still like him?" Jenna inquires. I didn't know Becky liked Adam.
"Yes. I mean no. Well sort of, I don't know. The whole transgender thing has me confused but I mean, I like talking to him and being around him. He always makes me laugh." She smiles at that.
I get where she's coming from, I didn't take the whole finding out that he's transgender thing very well either. In fact I handled in the worst way possible, by outing him in front of the whole school. In hindsight it was a bitch move, but at the time I was in shock and a little disappointed, so I just acted without thinking.
"He already asked me out once, how do I get him to do it again?" Becky whines. I didn't know Adam asked her out, why didn't she say yes the first time? Stupid little Christian girl doesn't know what she missed out on… Then again, I don't really know what I missed out on either.
"Here's a crazy idea, why don't you do the asking?" Jenna suggests. Maybe Jenna should just keep the advice to herself. I doubt Adam's still interested anyways.
I hear Eli whisper to Adam, "I think Becky and Jenna are talking about you."
"What makes you think that?" Adam asks, sounding doubtful of Eli's observation.
"They keep looking at you and then talking and then looking at you again, but don't worry, in a good way." Eli says.
"Eli, I have a serious question and I need an honest answer," Adam says. I wonder what he's going to ask Eli, is it about me?
"Should I give Becky another chance?" Adam asks. What the fuck, it's about stupid Becky Baker. What does she have that I don't? A bible. Yeah I'm sure that's what turns Adam on, her gospel passages about salvation and all the other bullshit she spouts.
"I don't know," Eli replies, "She kind of broke your heart. I just don't want you getting hurt again and if she hasn't changed then don't do it." She broke his heart? What a bitch, she doesn't deserve him anyway.
"Yeah your right. Besides I think I'm moving on anyways," Adam says.
"Enough talking," the teacher says directing his comment toward Eli and Adam.
Who's Adam moving on to? The bell rings which drags me out of my thoughts. I pick up my books and rush out the door, not ready to see Adam yet. I'm barely three steps out the door when I bump directly into Drew.
"Hey Bee, where were you this morning?" He says clearly happy to see me. I feel relieved seeing him, it feels comfortable being with Drew, I always know what to expect from him.
"I got to school at the bell, so I went straight to class," I say.
He leans down to kiss me and I can see Adam glance at me before Drew's lips reach mine.
"Get a room," Dallas jokes as he walks by.
I notice Adam cringe at the comment across the hallway. Maybe he's jealous? Or maybe he's just grossed out at the thought. Either way I'm glad he's thinking about me.
"So Bee, I was thinking we'd actually get a room," Drew says hesitantly.
"What do you mean?" I ask a little confused how this would work but understanding what he's asking.
"Well my parents are gone next weekend, want to stay over?" He has a smile on his face, I can tell the thought alone excites him.
"What would we do all weekend?" I ask flirtatiously.
"I have a few things in mind," And with that he's kissing me again.
