She couldn't help that he fell for her. She didn't want anything to do with him, but he wanted everything to do with her. Why did he have to embarress her, right in front of her best friend? And the worst part was, she was just about to ask him out. But what else do you do when the hottest guy in school walkes up to you and askes you on a date for this friday?

Yes, I finally have a date with Eva Peterson! What was she doing standing next to Josh, anyway?Oh well. Drake had wanted a date with Eva for a very long time, but never had the courage to ask her. Who cares about the past, when tomarrow night I'll be at the Premiere with Eva Peterson! True, she may not be the hottest girl in school (Or the most popular) but she seemed really nice, and halfway cute, if she'd just wear her hair up once in a while. I managed to weasel information out of Josh about her, since Josh was her best friend. Josh told Drake she played the guitar and the piano, Maybe i'll ask her to be in my band on Friday!

Eva walked into the Premiere and found Josh (Who was cleaning the tables) and asked him if he knew where Drake Parker was.

" He'll be here in about 10 minutes, he just has to finish doing his hair for the 10th time "Josh said with a chuckle.

" And how would you know?" Eva asked disbelievingly.

" You don't know, do you? Drake's my step-brother!"

" You're kidding me! So i'm going on a date with my best friend's step-brother?"

"Yep, and speaking of Drake here he is!"

Drake slowly walked over to the snack counter,seeing Eva there.

"Hey, Eva, Josh. We're going to see Summers Eve, right?"

"I suppose so, see you later Josh!" Eva said as she followed Drake into the theatre.

After the Movie

"No offense, but you stink at picking out movies." Eva said as she and Drake walked out of the theatre.

"I know, but at least we were together." Drake said smoothly.

" I guess. But why didn't Josh ever tell me you were his step-brother?"

"Dunno, but does that really matter?"

"Drake, why do you seem so weird lately? You don't want to talk to me, so what's your deal?"

"I do want to talk to you. C'mon, let's go sit over at a table and talk, just you and me."

"Ok."

They walked over to a table and sat down, but neither of them had the courage to speak up. Finally, after about two minutes, Drake finally plucked up the courage to speak.

"So, Josh told my you play both the piano and the guitar."he said casually.

"Yep, and I know for a fact that you play the guitar."

"And the drums. I've been meaning to ask you, since Josh told me you play the piano, would you like to be in my band?"

"I guess, but will you teach me to play the drums?"

"Only if you teach me to play the piano."

"You don't seem the piano sort."

Drake was taken aback."What do you mean I don't 'seem the piano type?'"

"Nevermind, forget that I said it."

Oh, great. Now he hates me for saying that, thought Eva in worry.

Drake looked down at his watch and saw that it was 11:47pm. Normally he didn't care that he was late for curfew, but when he was threatened of being grounded it mattered alot.

"Look, I really have to go, but we have practice tomarrow at 3:00. Make sure to bring your guitar and keyboard. Do you want a ride home?"

"Yeah... I can't get there otherwise, as my mom and dad had to drive me here since they went out."

Draek took Eva by the arm and walked her to his car.

Parker-Nichols Home, midnight

"So" said Josh when Drake walked throught the door to their bedroom" how was your date with Eva?"

Drake climbed the later and plopped down on the bed and answered," She thinks I'm an idiot who can't play the piano."

Josh was puzzled by this random comment. "And why do you suddenly want to play the piano?"

Drake sat up and threw a pillow at Josh's head ( Hey!) then answered "Since she does, and I'm going to teach her how to play the drums, so she's going to teach me to play the piano, which is a very unwanted service."

"Did you ask her to teach you?"

Drake tried to recall the conversation."Yeah, I guess I did."

"Well there you go! And I give her all the luck in the world to try to teach you something."

And with that Drake fell asleep, followed by Josh.
