Today was his second day at Degrassi and it was definitely better than the day before.
Adam decided earlier that today he was going to do what he had planned to do yesterday: be alone.
He liked not having to think of things to keep the conversation going. He also liked the silence.
While he was at the Dot it had started raining slightly and that combined with sitting in silence while reading a comic made it so relaxing he thought he was dreaming.
He even still had a small smile on his face when he walked into the classroom.
With a relaxed sigh, Adam sat down in the back row like the day before and looked at their agenda for today.
Apparently the teacher was going to pair them up and they would talk about the poem they picked for last night's homework and why they picked it with their assigned partner.
When the bell rung the teacher didn't waste any time and immediately started putting random kids together.
"Adam Torres.." Hearing his name finally being called, Adam looked to the teacher to tell him who he was partnered with, hoping it wasn't with anyone too weird.
"And Clare Edwards."
Right.
Adam had absolutely no fucking idea who that was.
Thankfully, the teacher saw his confused look and pointed across the room to a girl with light wavy brown hair. When she saw him looking at her, she waved and he walked over.
"Hey." She said to him as he sat in a chair next to her.
"Hey." Adam muttered back. She seemed nice enough but he just wanted to continue relaxing and maybe sneak in a nap.
"So I chose There Is Another Sky by Emily Dickinson." She stated, getting straight to business.
He grunted and fished for his notebook in his backpack. Once he opened it, he flicked through to the page he wrote the poem and his comments on it on.
"I chose A Dream Within A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe."
After he said that, she didn't say anything for a while. When Adam finally lifted his head he saw her looking across the room. Following her gaze he saw a guy across the room which Adam could only describe as dark. Dark hair, dark clothes. Hell, he even had his nails painted black.
"You got a drool going on there." Adam teased, finding this mildly amusing. Innocent girl going for bad boy. Like that's not a tired cliché.
Clare snapped out of her day-dream at the sound of his voice. Adam chuckled when he saw her cheeks instantly turn a light shade of pink.
"You like him?" He asked even though it was already quite apparent that she did.
"No! I mean, I don't know him." She rattled off. When she continued explaining why she couldn't possibly like him, Adam lost interest and tuned the rest of her ramblings out.
"How about this," He started, cutting her off, "I'll take a nap for the rest of class and you can stare at Boy Wonder over there. That sound good?"
She spluttered for a moment before surprisingly nodding.
Adam hummed contentedly before putting his head back down on the desk.
It seemed like a second later a finger gently nudged him awake.
He grumbled a little before looking up and seeing Clare standing in front of him.
"It's time to go." She said before leaving his desk and walking out of the classroom.
"Whatever." Adam mumbled on his way out and made his way to Remedial Gym.
Adam could grow to love this class.
Or despise it.
Everyone did what they wanted without any kind of restriction.
Kids were playing their guitars, making out in the corners, and one kid was even selling mysterious things in the corner.
He still wasn't sure what he expected in the first place but it whatever it was, this wasn't it.
Pretty cool or god awful? He'd have to decide that later.
In the mean time, Adam was alternating between reading his comics and drawing on his backpack.
That is, before she walked in. After that, he and every other guy in the room couldn't take their eyes off of her.
.With curly, tussled brown hair framing her gorgeous face and tight jeans hugging her backside, she could easily be called the epitome of sex.
When she looked at him, his heart leapt into his throat. She had warm brown doe eyes that he easily could fall into and her lips were as red as a ruby.
"Ms. DeSousa! You're late! Dentention!" Coach yelled, interrupting the moment.
Oh so now he decides to pay attention. That's totally fair.
"Yeah. Whatever." The girl said with a bored tone, obviously not giving a rat's ass.
As she made her way to the bleachers, Adam wondered if he should try to talk to her or not.
On one hand, she was hot. On the other, she looked like trouble and Adam really wanted a drama free year.
But she was hot.
Eventually the desire to find out who exactly this chick won and Adam made his way over to where she was sitting.
"Hey." He said while taking a seat next to her.
The girl looked up and nodded at him before going back to filing her nails.
"What's your name?" He asked after a few seconds of silence passed.
"Why do you want to know? What are you, a niner?" She sneered at him.
"10th." Adam responded evenly, "I'm Adam."
After giving him a look over she said, "Not interested."
Ouch.
Deciding to play it cool he said, "That's alright. Soon enough you will be."
When she raised her eyebrow he just smirked and walked back to his corner.
Fake it until you make, fake it until you make it.
One of the reviews said they wanted it to be "Badam". I don't want to give anything away but I will say that Badam might happen but might not be long term.
Reviews make updates come out faster so review and tell me what ya think!
