Chasing Pavements
My fanon-made fadam balloon is still inflated, but the canon-supported balloon has finally drained.
There were no major dramatics, just a bit of pain when the bandage was removed(when Fiona said what she said), but then it was over.
I really do want to see him grow up a bit, and I do want to see him become more of the man he’s going to be. I hope some really good things happen with Adam in the future.
I realize that a lot of what we hoped would happen was for them both to heal the other ones wounds, but I realize that that was never what they were trying to do for each other, ad so it wouldn’t have worked.
They weren’t ready for the other on a personal level, and certainly won’t work romantically now, but I hope they can move past all of that and become genuinely good friends. I may have been presumptuous in assuming there was any solid friendship there before, but I wasn’t wrong when I said they had good potential chemistry.

Omg, did I just experience a situation where I could genuinely like Alli again? And getting along with not only Drew, but Bianca as well? I’m pretty sure I didn’t do drugs before watching Degrassi, but maybe I should check?
And I actually liked Mr. Simpson in these scenes too. Not such and uptight bastard.
I kid, I kid.
—————————————
Fiona’s scenes. I was expecting more of the drama that I’m already used to, only toned down a tad after having succeeded in confronting Bobby.But instead of that, for the most part I liked her in this episode. The only time I wanted to hit the wall was during the scene with Adam, but she accepted her bad decisions without much of a problem.
She outed herself to her mother (who probably sees this as the least dramatic thing her daughter has ever confessed to), and it was in this honest, amazing sort of way that she confessed. She knew not to expect anything to come of liking Holly J.
And as soon as Holly J. and Fiona spoke of Declan, I knew not to expect anything either. It would have to come from pretty far out of left field, truth be told.
When Fiona cried, I couldn’t help but want to cry.
I found her to be less dramatic, and instead rather profound. And for the very first time in a long time, I found myself identifying with her.When she mentioned thinking that she’d eventually fall in love with a guy and she’s understand what it was like for other girls, I couldn’t help but relate to her. I have almost nothing in common with her character, and yet there was that ability to relate.
For once, I saw her character as being someone honest, and real, and strong in a way I wasn’t expecting.
I know the shit will probably hit the fan when Declan comes back into the mix(or perhaps when Holly J. learns that it’s she that Fiona likes), but I hope that all of them come out of it stronger and hopefully their relationships with one another will mostly be intact.

Frankly, I’m not even gonna comment on the next episode. I realize they’re playing up the drama and “dark side” thing, so I’m not even gonna bother letting them bait me. I’ll just see what happens.
