Chapter six

Hailey walked down the street to the old stage theater. Mindy was walking behind her talking to Josh on her cell phone. "No, no you hang up first. No I love you more…No I do…I do…" Hailey rolled her eyes and stood at the doors waiting for Mindy's attention.

"Min…come on I have to go." Mindy waved her hand letting Hailey know that it was okay to leave her. Hailey smiled and waved goodbye as she walked in the double doors.

"So where's your friend" Drake asked in an annoyed tone. Mindy narrowed her eyes.

"She has a name for your information. Hailey is in class right now… she tutors. Which I hear you need, Mr. D average." She smiled, pleased that she got in a punch before he did. She knew Drake had a weak spot with his grades and she used that to her advantage.

"Are you sure she's tutoring and not being tutored?" Drake smiled to himself. Mindy shook her head, not happy that he used her friend to get to her.

"That's really low of you to use Hailey to make Mindy mad. Come on Drake you know you like her a little bit." Josh told Drake and Mindy smiled as her boyfriend stuck up for her.

"Can I tell you anything that you won't tell everyone?" Drake said to Josh who just looked around.

"I only tell her some things…nothing really important…mostly." Mindy smiled smugly. She was glad that Josh told her everything.

"Don't worry Drake all your secrets are safe with me. Well maybe not that one about you sleeping with a teddy bear…"

"You told her about Booboo Bear? I told you…"

"Booboo Bear…I thought Josh was just joking." Mindy started to laugh hysterically. Josh tried to hide the smile creeping onto his face. Drake turned around and started to walk away.

"Yeah you two just laugh it up…" With that both of them couldn't control their laughter anymore.

"Hey what's with them?" Megan asked as she came over to Drake. He looked back at them and thought it best not to let his little sister know about his embarrassing sleeping habits.

"Nothing. What do you want?" He looked around to find his parents or Hailey, but just saw her friend Wendy looking longingly at him. "Who brought you here? Where are Mom and Dad?"

"They dropped us off here so they could get an early start to Aunt Judy's. Remember they are going to be gone all weekend. So they left tonight."

"Megan it's Monday night why would they leave four days early and not tell me or Josh? How stupid do you think I am?" Drake looked down at his sister. She glared up at him and they silently faced off.

"JOSH!" They both yelled at the same time. He came running from behind the counter and over to his two siblings.

"What? What happened?" He looked them both over for any sign of blood or scars.

"Josh tell the Boob over there that Mom and Dad left for Aunt Judy's already." Megan said as she turned to her brother.

"No, Josh tell her that she needs to get back home before Mom and Dad ground her for being out by herself." Drake declared as he looked from Megan to Josh.

"Actually, Drake Mom and Dad did leave. So we have to watch Megan for the week." Megan looked at Drake in triumph. "But Megan you should be with Hailey. Mom told me that you are going to stay with her until I get off work, and Drake gets home." Drake looked at Megan satisfied that she had to be told to. Then what Josh just said hit him.

"Wait, Hailey is going to be at our house every night. Why can't some one else watch her? You could take a vacation from work." Josh looked at Drake like he was crazy. Mindy walked over and put an arm around Josh's shoulders.

"What's the matter Drake? You don't like Hailey? I thought you thought she was the hottest girl you'd ever seen?" Mindy joked with him, but Megan didn't hear the joke and walked away. She knew that if Drake thought that, then he would try anything to get her to go out with him.

"Megan. Come on let's go. Josh maybe you should clue your girlfriend in on my new girlfriend. I think you'd like her Mindy, she has a really mean attitude too." Drake pushed Megan out of the doors and towards his car.
