Adam Torres smiled as he opened his locker. Life was good. He threw in his baseball cap and then grabbed his Math textbook. Mornings didn't faze him anymore. When his alarm rang he no longer pressed snooze. He was eager to get out of bed and head off to school.

The reason for his newfound zeal? He had been dating Fiona Coyne for one week.

Things were going perfect. They had been on a few dates, including one double date with friends Eli Goldsworthy and Clare Edwards. In school they had a routine. Meet in halls after third period and walk to class. Meet at the Cafeteria entrance and enjoy lunch with friends during sixth period. Walk Fiona to class following sixth. Finally, meet at his locker after eighth period and hang out after school. They spent time together doing the same activities they enjoyed as friends, except with one notable addition. Make out sessions.

Eli smirked as he recognized the expression on his friend's face. He was thinking about his girlfriend again. "Earth to Adam," he said as he waved a hand in front of him. "We'd really like you to come back down."

Adam looked at him with annoyance, "I can't help it if I woke up on the right side of the bed this morning."

Eli flashed him a grin. "Really? Do tell?"

Adam laughed as he shook his head. He walked right into that one! "It's not like that," he dismissed him.

His courtship with Fiona was still quite chaste; they had been only dating for a week. He did his best to keep his hands from wandering too much despite temptation. He didn't want to push things too far and risk offending her – even if he suspected she wouldn't mind it.

"So, one more period to go before seeing the legendary Fiona Coyne?" Eli said as they continued down the hall. He knew what it was like, because he had a similar routine with Clare.

Adam smiled as he nodded, "Yep."

"Well, don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Eli teased as he walked into his next class. Adam waved goodbye before continuing to his own class.

As he rounded the corner someone clipped his shoulder. It was Owen Milligan.

"Watch where you're going freak!" he sneered.

Adam showed no expression and continued on to class. He had History with Mr. Perrino. Most fellow students were sophomores. Dave, Wesley, and Connor sat near the front. He spotted Clare sitting with Alli near the windows.

"Hi Clare," he said as he took his seat behind her.

"Hey Adam," she smiled. "What's up?" She noticed his cheery mood. He was always smiling these days. It was adorable.

"Nothing really. The sun is shining and it's a beautiful day," he replied. Alli threw him a weird look.

"Right, and your positive outlook has nothing to do with Fiona Coyne?" Clare teased him.

Alli glanced at Adam and then laughed. "Funny, Clare! Like that would ever happen," she said dismissively.

Clare took a quick look at Adam before saying, "Actually it happens that—"

"That Fiona and I are good friends," he interrupted. Clare looked at him confused.

Alli nodded. "Yeah, I think everyone knows that," she told him. "Clare, lighten up! I was just teasing."

Clare frowned at her.

"Come on! He's not offended so why should you be?" Alli reasoned.

Clare and Adam shared a look.

"All right folks. Please turn to page number 342. We are going to review World War II," Mr. Perrino announced. Clare sighed at she turned around in her chair. She didn't understand what just happened and she had a bad feeling about it.
