Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi
Sorry for all the spelling and especially the grammar mistakes.
Sorry I haven't posted my new story sooner. So I have decided to post two chapters today.
I have been working more hours at work to pay for the Neon Lights Tour tickets my little niece just had to get or else she would die (she's only 7 and she is already so dramatic). Plus she said she needed the Fifth Harmony VIP Package to do the meet and greet, she used the "I never ask you for anything Uncle Phinn" line on me and it worked like a charm. How could i say no to something like that, but now I'm literally paying the price to spoil my niece.
"I can't believe I have to go to church, mom I hate this monkey suit," he tugs at his dress shirt and khaki pants, I look ridiculous, he thinks looking into his mirror.
"Sweetheart you look amazing, very handsome," Audra fixes Adam's hair and he tries to move out of her reach. She gives him a disapproving look, "come on let's go, you're going to have fun."
"Really Mom, fun at church," he rolls his eyes and walks past her and makes his way to his dad who is waiting for them in the car ready to go. He gets in and looks at his dad, "Mom just tried to lie to me about how church is going to be fun."
"It's actually not that bad," Omar shrugs his shoulders.
"Not you too dad," Adam sinks into the seat and lets out a breath and closes his eyes.
Omar honks his horn, "where is your mother?"
Audra comes out of the house running, "sorry I had to give Drew some instruction on what I want him to do while we are gone."She buckles her seat belt and looks at Adam and he quickly puts on his seat belt.
Ten minutes later they drive into the church's parking lot, "oh joy, I'm gonna have so much fun," Adam says sarcastically as he exits the car.
"Well then maybe next time instead of playing your play-box, you'll do what I ask you to do," Audra whisper shouts at Adam.
The Torres' walk into the church and sit in the third row on the right side. Adam slumps in his seat and Audra hits him on the arm, "ouch Mom that's called child abuse."
"Oh stop exaggerating I barely even touched you," Audra looks to her husband for help. "Tell your son to stop being so difficult."
"Adam stop being so difficult," Omar says in a monotone voice.
Adam chuckles quietly, "Adam, stop giggling," Audra once again hits his arm.
"Mom guys don't giggle, they chuckle," he says correcting his mom. He turns his head and looks at the people who are walking into the church and making their way down the aisle. "No way," Adam can't believe his luck, walking down the aisle is none other than Becky Baker herself. They make eye contact and Becky waves and smiles shyly at Adam as she is walking by. Becky takes a seat in the second row on the left side. Adam now has a clear view of Becky, I would have come to church a lot sooner if I knew how beautiful the view was going to be.
"Adam Torres, stop staring, church is not the place to look for a date," Audra scolds Adam.
Throughout the church service Adam would chance glances at Becky and every once in a while he would see Becky staring back at him and they would smile shyly at each other. Mama Torres had to pinch Adam every time she would catch Adam staring at the strawberry blonde girl.
After the service Adam follows Becky outside, "so your dad's a Reverend?"
"Hey Adam and to answer your question, yes my dad is a Reverend. I didn't know that you are Mr. and Mrs. Torres' son, how come you haven't come to church services before?" They begin walking down the steps of the church and to a shady tree since they sun is already in full effect.
"Um, usually I use Sunday's to workout. Plus me and most churches don't really see eye to eye," Adam looks past Becky's shoulders and see a fairly good looking guy staring down Adam.
"Because you are transgender male," Becky asks. When her father first started to perform services for this church, Mr. and Mrs. Torres came to him and asked what his position is on gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people becoming members of the church because her son is transgender.
"That is exactly why, wait did my mom and dad tell the whole congregation that I'm a transgender male?" Adam shakes his head and lets out a laugh because it sounds like something his mom would do and surprisingly he isn't mad or irritated at her for telling people.
"Kind of, she asked my dad his position on members of the LGBTQ being members of the church," she takes in Adam's features and she would have never guessed he is a transgender male.
"What was his answer, I mean obviously it was what my mom wanted to hear, but I want to know exactly what he said," he once again looks behind Becky and the guy is still glaring at Adam, but he decides to ignore him.
"He told them that God is about love and is accepting of all his children as long as it isn't harming others or themselves. Basically love is love and only God can judge people and we have no right to judge people because of who they love or who they are." She finishes and notices that Adam is staring at somebody behind her, "Who are you looking at?"
"That guy with the surfer hair cut, he has been looking over here ever since we came out to talk," she looks at the guy Adam is describing and knows exactly who he is talking about.
"Oh that's my friend Todd, he's a volunteer lifeguard with me. That reminds me, are you still going to train to be a lifeguard?" she asks Adam hoping to be able to spend more time with him.
"No because it turns out we will be moving at the end of summer," he sees the disappointment on her face and regrets telling her he isn't going to train with her. "But I was hoping we can still hang out together sometime."
"Like on a date?" she asks cheerfully.
"Yes, but only if you want to," he gives her the charming Torres smile, the one that make most girls swoon.
"I would love that, but first you have to meet my parents and they will want to have you over for dinner," Having a boy over before she can date them has always been a rule in her house and most of the time the boys get intimidated by her father being a Reverend and the boy usually cancels their date never calling her again.
"Okay, I'm usually really good at impressing parental units," he looks at Todd again. "Maybe we should go back to your friend because if looks could kill I would be dead a thousand times." They begin to walk towards an irritated Todd; they reach him, "so I guess I'll talk to you later."
"Yeah I'll call you and tell you when you should come over for dinner," she hands him her phone. "Here you can put your number in my phone." He takes her phone and calls his phone so he can have her number as well.
"Smile so I can take a picture of you for my contact picture," she smiles a big smile as he takes the picture.
"Okay now it's your turn," Adam smirks into the camera. "Come on Adam smile please," she begs.
"Fine," he sees her smile which in turn makes him smile in return and she quickly takes the picture.
"See it wasn't that hard, you are just being difficult," she puts her phone back into her purse.
"You know you're the second person to tell me that today?" Adam sees his parents come out of the church.
"Well then Mr. Torres maybe you should stop being difficult and then people will stop telling you how difficult you're being," Becky says flirting a little, before Adam can say anything in return his mom calls out to him.
"Adam, are you ready to go," she walks towards Adam. "Hi Becky, how are you today? Is Adam bothering you?"
"I'm doing great thanks for asking. How about yourself?" she asks being polite.
"I would be doing fine if a certain son of mine actually listened to me," she gives Adam a pointed look and his response is to roll his eyes at her.
"Adam, stop rolling your eyes at your mom and to answer the other question you asked, no Adam is not bothering me. He is being the perfect gentleman," she says smiling at Adam. Audra knows that look in Becky's eyes and knows Becky is beginning to develop feelings for her son.
"Okay how much is my son paying you to say these things because I know Adam and perfect gentleman is not one of them," Omar walks up behind his wife and places his hand on her back.
"Hello Becky," he greets and Becky smiles and says hello to him as well. Omar looks at Adam and Audra, "Are you two ready to go? I'm ready for some breakfast and if I know Adam, I bet he's hungry too."
"Oh you know it," Adam high fives his dad and Becky and Mrs. Torres give each other a look 'boys' they both think.
Both Adam's parents say their goodbyes to Becky, "five minutes," Omar whispers into Adam's ear.
"So I guess I'll text you later on today?" Adam asks Becky hopefully.
"Yeah, I would love that. You better go you don't want to keep your parents waiting," Becky hugs Adam who doesn't hesitant to return it, he says goodbye and runs to the car.
Todd silently watches as Adam runs off to his parents' car. Who does this Adam guy think he is? I have been trying to become more than friends with Becky for years. Becky thinks he's so perfect and can do no wrong. Not to mentions the way she laughs at his jokes, it makes me sick to my stomach. I have to do something to make her see that he isn't as perfect as he seems.
He starts to think of ways he can get information on Adam's past and how he used to be before coming to Florida and then it hits him, FaceRange!

Adam: Hey beautiful
Becky: Oh, compliments so early in the morning, what did I ever do to deserve such wonderful treatment?
Adam: Well, someone as beautiful as you should be told how beautiful they are everyday
Adam: And trust me when I tell you, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen
Becky: That is the sweetest thing anybody has ever told me.
Adam: I only say what's true
Becky: Careful Adam, you're going to get me used to being complimented all the time and I'm going to start expecting it
Adam: That okay with me if it's okay with you
Becky: It is definitely okay with me
Adam: So I was wondering if maybe you would like to go out on a date with me tomorrow? That is if you don't have anything else planned and if you do we can go out some other time.
Becky: I would love to go out on a date with you!
Becky: I was wondering when you were going to ask me
Adam: I needed to build up the courage to ask someone as breathtakingly beautiful as you
Becky: You really know how to sweet talk a girl
Adam: You make it easy
Adam: So how about I pick you up at two?
Becky: That sounds perfect, I can't wait
Adam: I'll talk to you later
Becky: Bye Adam
Adam sets his phone down on his night stand and starts to think of ideas of what to do with Becky on their date tomorrow. It has to be perfect, a girl like Becky deserves to be treated like a queen. Think Adam, think…how about bowling? Nah, well maybe... That seems like it can be fun but a delicate girl like Becky needs something girly to do. Man this was a lot easier with Bianca, she is simple and would be happy with a McDonald's meal.
Adam lies down on his bed placing his hands behind his head thinking about what kind of date to take Becky on and it hits him, a picnic in the park, she'll love it, I know it.

Todd walks into his room and takes a seat on the chair at his desk. He starts up his laptop with one destination and one goal on his mind, he is going on FaceRange to find out details about Adam's past. He takes out a piece of paper that has Adam's name and his former school on it. He signs into FaceRange and types in Adam's name and pulls up his profile, he looks through all his friends and spots a dark skinned boy who is wearing a Degrassi jacket in his profile picture. He clicks on the boy's picture, whose name is Dave Turner, he clicks on the add friend button and thinks about what to write in the message box.
What can I say that will get this Dave guy to open up about Adam and his past? He seats back in his chair and looks up at the ceiling and then an idea pops into his head.
Dave, you don't know me, my name is Todd and my sister is going out with somebody you probably know and went to school with. His name is Adam Torres and I was wondering what kind of guy he is, meaning is he the type of guy my sister should be dating? I will understand if you don't want to answer my questions because Adam is your friend, but I ask you to please let me know about him. I don't want my little sister to get her heart broken and before you ask, yes I know Adam is a transgender male.
Todd goes downstairs to get something to drink and when he sits back down at his desk he is surprised to see Dave has accepted his friend request and has already replied to his message. He rubs his hands together in anticipation of what Dave is going to tell him.
Message from Dave Turner: Hey Todd, yes I know Adam Torres and went to school with him. If you don't want your sister's heartbroken than you should keep her away from Adam. He was going out with a girl named Bianca, who you can also find here on FaceRange. Then a short while later he started dating a girl named Fiona and they broke up because Adam went on an overnight thing with his ex-girlfriend Bianca. Bianca and Adam then starting dating again, he cheated on Bianca the first time with a girl named Abbey. She took him back and for a little while everything was good and then Adam cheated on Bianca again with Abbey, the same girl he cheated on her with the first time. You know what they say once a cheater always a cheater so tell your sister to be careful. I hope this information helped.
Message from Todd: Thanks for the info, it really is a big help and I will keep my sister far away from Adam Torres.
Yes this is what I was hoping for, now all I have to do is tell Becky about Adam's cheating ways. There is no way she is going to want to date Adam after I tell her. He picks up his phone and dials Becky's number.
"Hello," he hears Becky say through the phone.
"Becky, I have something important that I think you should know about Adam," he tries to sound like he doesn't want to say what he is about to tell her, but he can't help the smile that appears on his face and right now he is thankful that he decided to call her instead of telling her face to face because then she would have known his true intentions.
"Todd, what is it, I hope it's not something bad," she begins to worry that maybe something bad has happened to Adam.
"I really don't know how to tell you or if I should because it's none of my business, but you are one of my best friends so I think you have a right to know." He pauses pretending that he needs to compose himself before telling her the news, "today I went on FaceRange and I exchanged messages with one of Adam's old friends and he told me something very disturbing about Adam's dating history. He told me Adam tends to date girls for a little while and then ends up cheating on them. He cheated on his ex-girlfriend twice and you know what they say once a cheater always a cheater."
Becky is silent and Todd begins to worry that she has hung up the phone so he looks at his phone's screen and it says the call is still connected, he decides to wait a minute more before continuing the conversation. "You know what Todd you're right; Adam's past is none of your business. You had no right to dig into Adam's past like that, what were you trying to accomplish by digging up dirt on Adam?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, the only reason I did it is because I care about you and I don't want to see you get hurt," he wasn't expecting her to get mad at him, he was expecting her to thank him for finding out about Adam.
"Thanks for your concern but you need to keep your nose out of my business from now on," Becky takes a breath before she says the next thing, "I think it would do us both some good to just end our friendship here, a clean break."
"Becky, I'm sorry I made a mistake," he pleads.
"I'm sorry too because we had a great friendship, goodbye Todd," Becky hangs up the phone not giving Todd a chance to speak.

This can't be happening, Adam can't be a cheater, he is supposed to be a sweet gentleman. She turns on her phone and clicks on Adam's name, she doesn't know what she is going to do about him. She really likes him and she was hoping that they could start something great. She dials his number and he answers on the second ring.
"Hey Becks, what's up?"
"Adam, I need you to be honest with me," she doesn't know if she wants to ask him about his past but she needs to know.
"Okay, I promise I will be completely honest with you," truth be told Adam suddenly gets nervous.
"Have you ever been unfaithful to any of your girlfriends?" she hopes that he laughs and tells her that she is being silly.
"Yes," he answers and is consumed with shame. Sure when he was cheating on Bianca he felt like the man and his ego was inflated but right now with all the thinking he has done over the year he realizes that he was just being a stupid boy and was hurting two amazing girls who didn't deserve to be hurt.
"I'm sorry Adam, I can't date someone who has been unfaithful for fear you might be unfaithful to me," she doesn't want to stay away from Adam but it is for her own good.
"Becky, I had a whole year to just think about all my mistakes and being unfaithful to my ex was and is one of my biggest regrets. I wasn't thinking when I cheated, I just gave into my temptation not caring about who I hurt, but now I know how wrong my actions were. Please believe me when I say that I have learned from my past mistakes, I have changed my ways and I am a better person." Adam can't believe this is happening, he never thought his past would catch up to him and bite him in the ass. How she found out about his past infidelities is beyond him and he wants to ask but doesn't want to push his luck with her, he doesn't want to make her madder than she already is.
"I'm sorry Adam, I want to believe you but…I can't. Goodbye Adam, I'll see you around," she hangs up the phone and lets the tears fall from her eyes freely. She can't believe she lost her best friend and her potential boyfriend all in the same day. She lies down on her bed and she cries herself to sleep hoping that tomorrow will be a better day.

Adam sits down in his desk chair and spins himself around a couple of time. I'm not giving up on Becky I just have to find a way to prove to her I have changed for the better. He spins himself around a couple more times and thinks about how he convinced Bianca to take a chance with him, Bianca used to call me Casa Nova so maybe I can smooth talk Becky into giving me another chance. I am very good with words and can be very persuasive.
He decides to go to the beach tomorrow when Becky is on lifeguard duty. She won't be able to walk away from him, she'll have to listen to what he has to say. if she doesn't want to listen than he will bug her until she begs him to leave and then he will only leave if she agrees to go out on one date with him. With this new plan in place he goes downstairs and fixes himself a snack and looks for Drew and see if he wants a Madden rematch.
A/N: Just for the record I do not believe in the saying "once a cheater always a cheater", I believe people can learn from their mistakes and not make the same mistake twice.
