It's Only Time

Up Periscope - Chapter One

People always wonder what it's like to be loved by practically every girl in the school. What it's like to be popular with everyone. What it's like to be the first thing every girl thought about in the morning, and the last thing that thought about at night.

Let me tell you, it's awesome.

Belleview High would be dull without Mr. Drake Parker, which is me. All those girls wouldn't have someone to stare at during class and they wouldn't be able to say, "He looks better in tight pants than I do!" If I wasn't in Belleview.

I'm not being cocky, I'm being realistic. I've actually heard some girls saying that.

It was a long winter break, and after my not-so-bad break up with Katie, I was itching to get a new girlfriend. I walked into the school with my best friend, the one Mr. Alexander Vander. Josh was sick. I met him in eighth grade and I used to think he was just a nerdy short kid, but he got taller and the girls started going after him almost as much as they did with me.

"So you dumped Katie?" He asked, hands deep in his jacket pockets.

"You bet I did," I said smiling at him as he laughed, "Hey, it was a long two weeks. I think it's time for a change." I nodded, trying to look serious but he saw right through me and continued laughing.

"Cool, I'm babe-less too. We could go on a double-date," he suggested which actually wasn't a bad idea, I didn't go on many double dates because my bud's date would go after me, but Alex is just as hot as I am, so his date won't have wandering eyes. Hopefully.

"Awesome. So, today's Monday?" I tapped a finger on my chin as I thought up a plan, he had to guide me around a group of girls walking infront of us, I chuckled as they all gave loving sighs as we passed, "Try to get a date for Friday, Saturday at the latest... Sunday sucks."

He nodded, "Amen to that."

We arrived at my locker soon after his comment, the bottom of both of our jeans covered in snow, the lower part atleast. I turned my combination into the lock, 30-15-52, and pulled it open, a love note drifting its way to the floor. "Oh god, not another one." I groaned, quickly taking off my jacket and my bag and stuffing it into my locker.

I got one love note back in eighth grade and ever since then everyone was giving me them, pretty annoying. Alex bent down and picked it up, "Ooo, 'Dear Dashing Drake'. Nice nickname, dude." He laughed and I rolled my eyes, slamming my locker door. I leaned against my locker and laid my head back onto it, closing my eyes.

"What else does it say?"

Alex cleared his throat and ripped the envelope open and started to read the note, "'Dear Drake, You know that creepy feeling you get? Like someone's watching you? That's u--' Dude, that's creepy." He said, completely serious. "'I see you sliding out the bar, I see you slippin' out the back door, baby. Don't even try to find a line, it's fine, this time, darlin' you're still devine'. What does that mean?" I opened my right eye and raised a brow, that was pretty strange. "Whatever... 'Love, Your two unworthy fangirls'. That's original," he nodded and crumpled up the note. He threw it into a nearby garbage can like it was a basketball.

"He shoots... He scores!" I cheered as the ball of paper landed in the garbage can. "Now... To your locker?" I asked, tilting my head to the side cutely. Apparently, that look drove the girls nuts, but Alex always scoffed it off. He nodded and led me to his, where he put away his stuff, then we walked into the lunchroom and sat in our regular table.

"Who's left?" He asked, looking around at the people in the room. There was a group of three girls by their locker in the lunchroom, Alex knew them from Elementary School and there were two girls sitting in the table nearest to us they were the most popular girls in the school.

"Hey..." I looked over at Alex, confused. "We haven't gone out with the two most popular girls in the school..." He shook his head and laughed, "There's something wrong with that sentence, you think?" I asked, before getting up out of my seat and sliding into the bench across from the two girls.

They looked at me, suprised at first but they quickly changed to flirt-mode after I flashed them a smile, "Why hello there, Mr. Parker." one of the girls said, batting her eyelashes at me. "What brings you here?"

That girl was Sara Johnson. She had short, brown, mullet style hair and big brown eyes. Her chest was big, compared to the other girls her weight, and she always wore a shirt that showed of her half of her boobs. Can you say, slut? The other girl was Tara Davids. She had long brown hair and unique green eyes. I always liked it when girls with dark hair had blue or green eyes. She was a lot shorter than other girls, but she wasn't so short that you'd mistaken her for a fourteen year old, but she was really short.

"Well, Miss Johnson and Miss Davids. I wanted you two to go on a double date with me and Alex at The Premiere. Friday." I was getting into the habit of telling girls to go on a date with me, instead of asking. I looked over at Alex for a while, so Sara and Tara would notice and look over at him too.

I always thought Alex was more attractive than me. He had longer-than-normal red hair and hazel eyes, unlike other red heads he didn't have any freckles. If I was gay, I'd probably have a crush on him. Hell, I'd have a crush on myself!

Sara sent me a sly smirk, "Depends whos with who, Mr. Parker." She leaned forwards slightly and puckered her lips, I had a sneaking suspicion she wanted me to glance down her shirt, I resisted temption.

I usually took the hotter girl on double dates so I decided to let Alex take Sara... I didn't like her anyway, Tara seemed more modest. "You and Alex, Me and Tara." I said, pointing at the people as I spoke. Sara's jaw dropped and Tara's eyes brightened, I hoped I hadn't started a best-friend break-up.

The bell rang and I stood up and gave a small bow. "Farwell sweet maidens, I must go to class." I casually walked back towards Alex, making sure to wiggle my butt as I walked, though.

When I reached Alex he play-punched me in the stomach. "Whos with who? What's with that walk? Didja do you history homework?" He asked one question with each punch.

I laughed and pretended to be in pain each time, "You and Sara. I felt like it. Do I ever do my homework?" I grinned at him as he stood up and looked down at me. Yes, he was slightly taller than me.

"Really?" He asked, happily. "You let me go with Sara, oh man I love you." I gave me a split-second hug before backing off. "I've loved her ever since ever. Thanks man, I owe you, big time!" He gave me a wave and walked off to his locker, leaving me in the almost-empty lunchroom.

I smilied, that was pretty lucky. I was afraid to think of how he'd act if I said I took Sara, I was glad I didn't. It was great to see my Alexander Vander happy.

The second bell rang and I ran to my locker, sighing. "I guess I'm going to be late for History again."

A/N: I hope you enjoyed my first Drake & Josh fan fic! It's going to mostly feature Drake more than Josh, so sorry to those 'Josh Drake Fans'. Thanks for reading!
