This is my first Drake & Josh fanfiction I ever wrote. It's posted on my site, but I thought I'd put it here as well. This story is completely written but not completely posted. In fact, I've already written up a sequel, which I will post when I finish posting this.

I don't own any of the Drake & Josh characters. I did create some characters for this fanfiction though. The song "Insensitive" is sung by Jann Arden and written by Anne Loree. No copyright infringements are intended.

It was late when Drake got back home.

"Drake!" his mom called. "Where have you been?"

"Um, I was out with a friend," he replied.

"Was this friend a girl?" Audrey continued. Knowing full well how quickly her son could go through dates.

"Well, yeah, but it wasn't a date," he said.

"It wasn't?" Audrey asked, looking a bit surprised. "Are you sure?"

"Yes," said Drake. "She's new here and asked me to show her around."

"Oh, well, next time call when you'll be late."

"Okay," said Drake and headed upstairs to his room. "Hey Josh."

"Hey, guess what?" asked Josh.

"Hmm?" asked Drake, not so sure if he would be interested. Normally Josh wanted to tell him about some magic show or his latest science project. Not quite something Drake was interested in guessing about.

"You know your favorite band, Zero Gravity?"

"Yeah?" Suddenly Drake was quite interested.

"They're doing a concert here at a small auditorium, so there's only like 300 tickets available." Drake's mouth fell open. He had met Devin Malone, and taken his place when he couldn't play. Perhaps he'd remember him. That would be cool.

"Man, I gotta get tickets!"

"That's gonna be hard."

"Why?" Drake asked, his face starting to fall.

"Because there are so few. I just heard about it on the radio."

"Man," said Drake, running his hands through his hair. "I'd do anything to get those tickets. When's the show?"

"In three months," said Josh. "You've got time, maybe you can find some tickets somewhere."

"I hope so." Wow. That would be awesome. Drake was glad Josh was his brother. He was thoughtful like that, telling him when his favorite bands were playing and things like that. Maybe Drake should start doing those things more often for Josh. Oh well, right now he needed to figure out how to get those Zero Gravity tickets.

The next day, Drake stood at his locker, poking through the contents, trying to find his notebook. He really needed to pull his chemistry grade up. Either that or summer school, and after yesterday's pop quiz he knew he needed to do better. Today's test had to be better. If only he could find his notebook in this mess.

"Hey Drake," said Cassandra, walking up to his locker. Drake remembered Cassandra getting one hundred on the pop quiz. Her old class had passed their's a bit, so she already knew the material. "Thanks for showing me around last night."

"No problem," he said, eyeing the outfit she was wearing. She wore a pair of jeans and a jacket with a Bon Jovi shirt underneath. "You like rock?" he asked."Oh yeah," she replied, glancing down. "I love rock. I like Bon Jovi a lot, but my favorite band is Zero Gravity."

"Really?" asked Drake. "So's mine!"

"Wow," she said.

"Yeah," he said. "They're doing a concert here in a few months, but there's only 300 tickets."

"Oh," she said. "Yeah, I managed to get some of those." Drake stared at her with a look of shock. She hadn't been there that long and she had Zero Gravity tickets already? "Hey, since none of my new friends like Zero Gravity much, and you're probably the only person I know who'd appreciate it, would you like to come with me?"

"Oh yeah!" Drake replied. He was jumping up and down inside. Here was a pretty girl who loved rock and was offering him her extra ticket to the Zero Gravity concert.

"Oh, I'll see you around," said Cassandra. "I don't want to be late."

"Bye." Wait, he should have asked her out. Why didn't he? Why was he so attracted to her?

"Hi Drake," said a new voice.

"Hello Sam," he said turning around.

"Drake, I wondered if you had a date for Friday night yet."

"I do now," he said. "Say seven o'clock?"

"Sure," she said, then walked away. Wait a minute. What was he doing? He liked Cassandra!

Cassandra sat down in the library to arrange her chemistry notes. Drake seemed like such a nice guy. No one in her family would have gone to the concert with her. Well, the person who would have wasn't around. She was glad Drake had agreed to go with her. She knew her parents would rather she went with someone anyway and not alone. She would rather not be alone either. She loved concerts, but some of the people worried her. Oh well, she'd be fine.

Alexa sat down across from her, getting ready to go over their chemistry.

"Hey," said Alexa. "What's going on?"

"Well, I found someone to go to the Zero Gravity concert with," replied Cassandra.

"Great! You're getting to know people. Who is it?"

"Um, Drake Parker," she responded. Alexa frowned.

"Drake Parker? He's such a player..."

"Relax Alexa, it's just a concert. C'mon, we need to go over this chemistry quick before the test."

"Okay, you're right," said Alexa. The girls went over their notes to make sure they understood everything and headed to class.

"Okay people, notes and books off the desks," said Mr. Height. "Test time."

Drake squirmed in his seat. Could he pull this off? The dreaded thoughts of summer school loomed over him. He had to pull it off. Mr. Height put the test on his desk. He leaned forward to look at the first question. 'Balance the following equation.' He stared at the row of letters; he had to balance them by giving them coefficients. The letters looked meaningless to him. Math was the most horrible part. In fact the only chemistry he actually remembered was the noble gases. That was only because he had learned them to impress a girl though.

Drake sighed and looked ahead. Cassandra was sitting a few seats in front of him. Why had he said yes to Sam? Why couldn't he say no? He wished he had asked Cassandra out. Now, he was too late. At least until next week anyway. He looked back down at his test.

Well, he thought. Better get started.
