"[Adam] was the best. He was the very best."
— Bianca to Drew in Young Forever

The friendship between Bianca DeSousa and Adam Torres, known as Badam (Bianca/Adam), began in the eleventh season of Degrassi. The two began a flirtatious friendship when Adam chose Bianca as his partner for their ballroom dancing class. When Bianca found out that Adam was an FTM transgender, she outed him, thus ending their short-lived friendship. However, they reconciled when Bianca finally apologized to Adam for her earlier behavior, and have since shown to be good friends with each other.

Adam and Bianca ballroom dancing

In My Body Is A Cage (1), Adam discusses which is worse: ballroom dancing or ping pong with Bianca. While taking attendance, the teacher calls out "Gracie Torres" (Adam's birthname), which confuses Bianca. While choosing partners for ballroom dancing, Adam chooses Bianca, and she accepts with a snarky comment. During the actual dance, the tension between Bianca and Adam grows. After class, they compliment each other and start to flirt. Bianca touches his chest and notices something is there. When he proceeds to back up slowly, Bianca grabs his shirt and rips it open, only to find that Adam is physically a female. She is disgusted and Adam runs away, humiliated and embarrassed.

In My Body Is A Cage (2), Adam arrives at remedial gym, where Bianca, the one who outed Adam, is telling about how she accidentally touched Adam's boobs to listeners. Adam approaches Bianca and asks her if she'll still be his dance partner. Bianca denies being a lesbian, and she threatens and tells him he needs therapy. When Adam appears as Gracie in remedial gym class, Bianca makes a snide comment and is sent to the principal's office.

In Purple Pills (2), Bianca shows up in the weight room to fight the "girl" Fitz wanted her to fight. She doesn't know it's Adam, and when she learns it's him she pretty much rolls her eyes, and tells them that she should just get it over with. She then walks up to Adam and starts to get ready to fight. When Adam doesn't know what's going on Fitz explains that if he were really a dude, he wouldn't fight a girl. Bianca starts to tap and get ready to punch Adam, until Adam storms off angrily. Bianca is upset that she's not fighting anyone.
