Adam smiled at the mirror surprisingly happy that he was going to school. Lately his life had finally been coming together and there, for once, was hardly any drama. He wasn't walking on eggshells around the Neanderthals, him and Drew talked things out and he was finally on speaking terms with Clare and Eli again. There was nothing that could ruin his life; not even the annual insults thrown his way from some of his more judgmental peers.

"Adam; hurry up in there!" Adam rolled his eyes as his brother starting banging on the door at the same time as every other morning. "I need to finish my hair!" same excuse as every other day.

"Yeah, yeah!" Adam grumbled, fixing his collar and opening the door before his brother had a heart attack. "Come turn yourself into a peacock." Drew shot a glare in his direction before diving for the gel.

"I don't look like a peacock." Drew mumbled as he started running his hands through his hair. Adam's eyebrows rose slowly and he shrugged.

"If you say so." Drew playfully punched him in the shoulder, successfully getting gel all over his sleeve. "Thanks Andrew." Adam rolled his eyes and playfully rubbed off his arm before pulling his beanie over his head. After a quick wink, and ignoring the chuckle that escaped from Drew's lips, he started out the door.

xxxxxxx

"His birthday's soon…" Clare mumbled, tapping her pen against her chin and glaring down at her notebook. On it she had a list of things she could get Adam for his birthday. So far it was only filled with some new comic books that Eli had told her about as well as some horror movies that Adam wouldn't stop talking about.

"We should throw him a party!" Fiona exclaimed, having the same things on her list as Clare. Eli smirked and dropped his own notebook on the table. Fiona and Clare both glared at the page full of things Eli thought of for Adam's present.

"How?" Clare asked and Eli shrugged.

"He's my best friend; do you think I wouldn't have any idea what to get him for his birthday?" Eli asked smugly, cocking an eyebrow. Both Fiona and Clare's cheeks flared and they mumbled incoherently.

"I still think a party would be a good idea." Fiona said, brushing off the embarrassing situation. "It'd be a great idea to just get everyone together." Her eyes lit up, "We could do it at my condo!" she exclaimed brightly and Clare smiled.

"That is a good idea." Clare agreed and Eli rolled his eyes. It was adorable when Clare got so happy over an idea, but he never knew why girls got all excited about parties.

"We could talk to Drew so he'd know about it and talk to some of his other friends!" Fiona exclaimed, growing more and more excited. Her parties were legendary; those and her fashion was what defined her. And it would be the perfect time to tell him about her feelings. "Weren't some of them like Anais, Mark and Isabelle?" Fiona asked, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion. She knew they were some of the students that actually accepted Adam and let the school know it.

"Yeah! And then there's Zane; Adam was saying they talked a lot when Adam had to wait for Drew's practice." Clare continued.

"Oh; and Sav!" Fiona added and the girls started making another list. Eli smirked slightly.

"Shouldn't we make sure Adam wants a party?" he asked, putting a damper the mood. Clare looked down guiltily and Fiona rolled her eyes.

"Of course not; it's a surprise!" Fiona said, "And if you say anything we will never forgive you."

"But what if Adam doesn't want that?" Clare agreed and Fiona's eyes narrowed. She felt like a caged animal now that both of them had turned on her.

"What does Adam not want?" Fiona sighed in relief when Clare and Eli's attention whipped around. However, she sucked in another gulp of air when she realized the voice belonged to Adam. His eyebrows were furrowed in confusion and he looked at all his friends. Eli was smirking, Clare was shifting around in her seat and Fiona still hadn't breathed. She shot a look at Clare, hoping Clare wouldn't say anything about the party. She wasn't disappointed.

"Nothing." Clare mumbled and Eli's eyebrows shot up. When Adam turned to him he shrugged it off.

"Nothing." He went along with what Clare said and Fiona smiled. Adam's eyes narrowed and his gaze flashed from Eli to Clare to Fiona and back again. He was looking for the weakest link; the one that would tell him what was going on.

"Clare; seriously tell me." He finally said when Clare was the only one that wouldn't meet his gaze. Fiona nibbled on her lip and glanced at Clare from the corner of her eye. She seriously hoped Clare wouldn't give it away. If Fiona had enough time she knew she could make Eli and Clare warm up to the idea of a party. That plan would fail if Clare caved.

"It's nothing!" Clare exclaimed, her eyes flashing around. She was such a horrible liar. "I have to go; yearbook meeting." She fibbed, picking up her bag and starting towards the school. She mentally cursed herself for being weak and running away but she knew she wouldn't be able to lie to Adam for long. It wasn't her fault; she just didn't like lying to him. Eli sighed and took off after her, leaving Adam and Fiona alone.

"Fiona." Adam said seriously and Fiona froze. She looked up to meet his gaze, wishing he didn't have the more gorgeous eyes in the world. He tried to stare her down, trying to force her to tell him. It seemed to have the reverse effect when Fiona found her mind going blank and her vocal cords not working correctly. He closed his eyes and ran his hand down his face in slight annoyance, freeing her from the trance. "What're you guys hiding?" he grumbled sadly and Fiona found herself feeling guilty. Forcing herself to not give in and tell him she reached over and poked his nose.

"Don't you worry; there's really nothing we're hiding." She lied, not fully fooling him but still lying better then Clare had. She grabbed her bag and hurried towards the school before he realized what they were planning. He always had a habit of knowing about things he shouldn't and always knew when anyone was lying.

Now all she had to do was go over the details of the party with Eli and Clare, as well as tell everyone to keep it a secret from Adam, and everything would be good.
