Clare's POV
Rachael has Media Immersions with me and Ali. "Adam's really cute," Rachael smiles. I giggle.
"Yeah he's a total sweetheart," I say.
"Total package," Rachael says. Not quite.
"Wait you're not thinking what I think you're thinking are you," I ask.
"No, no. He's Eli's best friend. I would never," Rachael reassures me. "Plus he seemed kind of fixated on that dark-haired girl with the book."
"Yeah that's Fiona, his ex. They just broke up," I sigh.
"Aww what happened," She asks.
"Uhm it's a long story," I say and Rachael nods understandingly.
"Did you see Fiona this morning? She looks awful," Ali says as she sits next to me. "I feel so bad. Adam's a complete jerk."
"Adam's not a jerk. He's just…..scared," I say. Ali looks up to see Rachael sitting on the other side of me.
"I'm guessing you're the other Goldsworthy," She says.
"Uh yeah, I'm Rachael," Rachael smiles.
"Ali, it's nice to meet you. Love the outfit by the way. Super cute," Ali smiles back.
"Thanks, "Rachael says.
"So what's the deal with you and Elijah? How come he got to stay here while you got shipped off to New York," Ali asks.
"Ali," I scold her.
"It's okay Clare," Rachael says. "I actually wanted to go to New York. I got into a really great arts school. I'm a dancer, so it was a great opportunity for me."
Ali nods. "Oh cool."
"Wait, you don't call Eli by his full name in front of him do you," Rachael asks curiously.
"Yes, I call him Elijah all the time," Ali says.
"Well or Goldsworthy," I giggle.
"Wow I'm surprised he hasn't killed you yet. He doesn't even let our grandma call him that," Rachael laughs.
"He cares for Clare too much to be mean to her best friend," Ali smirks.
Eli's POV
"How you holding up buddy," I ask Adam.
"Seeing Fiona all day is killing me," He sighs.
"How is it that you and Elijah here come from the same parents," Ali asks Rachael as the three girls sit down at our lunch table.
Rachael giggles and I roll my eyes.
"So how's your first day going," Adam asks Rachael with a smile.
"It's good. The teachers are pretty cool and everyone's been super nice," Rachael says.
Suddenly someone steals a French fry from my tray. I look up to see Bianca.
"So it's true. There's a new Goldsworthy in town," She smirks.
"Go away Bianca," I groan.
"I just wanted to welcome the new addition to Degrassi," She says faking a smile.
She looks over at Rachael. "Wow I'm surprised. I was expecting an emo freak like Dr. Doom over here," Bianca says pointing to me.
Rachael giggles softly. We all turn to look at her. "Come on. Dr. Doom? That's funny," She says.
I roll my eyes. Bianca smirks. "I like you. You seem cool," She says.
Owen walks up to the table. He looks over at Rachael.
"Damn, that's your sister? She's smokin'," He winks. My fist clenches, but I stay quiet.
Rachael gives Owen a disgusted look. "Uhm, first of all, I have a name and it's Rachael. Second I don't know who you people are, but I think you need to go away," She says.
"Feisty. I like it," Owen says. "Hey sweetie if you ever need a quick fix you come find me, I'll be happy to satisfy you."
"Shut the hell up," I snap. "Down boy," Bianca chuckles.
"Come on Owen, I don't think we're wanted here." Bianca and Owen walk away in the opposite direction and my fist slowly unclenches.
I look at Rachael, who smiles slightly.
Adam's POV
After sixth period I walk into the library during study hall. I spot Rachael sitting at one of the computers.
"Hey little G," I say sitting next to her.
"Little G? That's cute. I like it," She smiles. "What's up?"
"Nothing, I have study hall this period so I figured I'd actually get some work done," I say getting my notebook out of my bag.
As I pull it out, a picture falls out and onto the floor. Rachael picks it up and looks at it.
She smiles slightly then hands it back to me. I look down at the picture of me and Fiona.
"Clare told me…about the break up. Her name's Fiona right," Rachael asks.
"Uh yeah," I say stuffing the picture back into my bag.
"So why'd you guys break up," She asks curiously.
"Uhm, it's complicated," I sigh.
"Clare said that too, but it seems to me that you still like her, so how is it complicated. If you want to be with her then fight for her," Rachael shrugs.
"I actually broke up with her," I sigh. Rachael looks at me like I'm crazy.
"Well then why do you seem all 'woe is me'," She asks.
"I broke up with her because people didn't approve," I say.
"People like who? Rents? Friends," She asks.
"Mostly people at school. They all kind of teased her about going out with me and called her a les….," I stop short.
"Called her what," Rachael asks. I sigh heavily.
"They called her a lesbian," I say.
"I don't understand," She says.
"I'm an FTM. Female to Male Transgender and not everyone at school is okay with that," I say.
"Well did Fiona care," Rachael asks disregarding that I just told her my biggest secret.
"Well no," I say.
"Well then you're an idiot for dumping her. If she didn't care what people were saying than you shouldn't either. Who cares what others think. It only matters what you and Fiona think of each other," She smiles.
"We can't be together. We can't work," I say softly.
"It seems to me that you're giving up. Relationships aren't always rainbows and butterflies. You have to work on them Adam," She says. "And if you don't even bother to put in the effort then maybe she's better off without you."
Her and Eli really are related, both brutally honest.
I sigh and turn back to my notebook digesting everything Rachael just said.
