Chapter Three
3. At the mall
Disclaimer: Don't own D&J. What a shocker!
Drake: Josh, I think midnightwriter1898's being startastic.
Josh: Sarcastic!
So, did you sleep well last night?" Drake teased. Josh glared at him.
"You know. Like, the whole night Megan was zapping my butt!"
"You should have seen how you jumped the third time!"
"Yeah, yeah, keep making fun of me. Thanks so much for being on my side. If I didn't know better, I'd say you were helping Megan!"
"Ha, ha, ha! You are so funny! Josh, honestly, are you sick or something? Me help Megan? Yeah, I'm the main victim of her pranks!"
"Yeah, yeah, you're right. And, no, I'm the main victim of her evil little pranks. And sometimes I even fall victim to your abnormal behavior!"
"That's an exasperation!"
"Exaggeration!" Josh corrected.
"Oh, what's the difference?" Drake asked.
"There's a big difference! Exasperation means actions that cause great feelings of irritation; Exaggeration is making something sound more important than it really is!" Josh stated.
"Oh, who cares?"
"You should!"
"Josh, you are talking to me, right?"
"Who else would I be talking to?"
"You imaginary friend?"
"Drake."
"What?" He asked innocently.
"Oh, never mind. Just stop acting in an exasperating manner!"
"Wait, I though that was exaggeration."
"Drake!"
"Hey, Josh, could you drive me to the mall?" Drake asked. He was too embarrassed to tell Josh he was afraid to drive his car since he'd received the note.
"Will you stop pestering me?" Josh looked at Drake. Drake thought for a moment.
"Not until you take me."
"Okay. Let's go." Josh said. He grabbed his keys and the brothers walked to Josh's car.
Josh tapped his fingers on the steering wheel impatiently.
"Hurry up, Drake." He muttered. Man, why had he said he'd wait for Drake?
"Okay, that's it. I'm not waiting in the car any longer. I'll go find him." He decided, getting out of the car and entering the mall.
He searched for about a half an hour before he found Drake at the food court, buying a corndog.
"Hi, Drake."
"Oh, Josh, I thought I told you to wait in the car. People will see us."
"Yeah, but I was really bored. Come on, Drake, you've been here for…" Josh looked at his watch, "two hours."
"So?"
"So! You made me sit in the car for an hour and a half!"
"Whatever, man. Now, leave!"
"No!"
"Fine! Be that way!" Drake shot back. Josh turned his back to Drake.
Drake put his corndog down at a table and turned his back to Josh, looking at some red-haired girl. When Drake did turn back around, his eyes widened. A bite was missing from his corndog.
"Josh! You know I don't like you getting your saliva all over my corndogs! If you were hungry you should have just got one yourself." He exclaimed.
"What? I didn't take a bite from your corndog. I don't even like corndogs!" Josh said.
"Come on Josh. That wasn't nice!"
"I swear! I didn't do it!"
"Well, if it wasn't you, who was it?"
"I don't know! Man, why do you blame me for everything?"
"Look, Josh, I know you did it."
"Drake, why would I take a bite of your corndog?"
"Why wouldn't you?"
"I didn't do it!"
"Whatever, man."
Drake was utterly convinced Josh had taken a bite of his corndog until he remembered the headless teddy bear and all the notes. Maybe the person who had sent those had been the one who took a bite of his corndog.
Oh man, Drake thought, I'm being stalked! He looked around quickly, but didn't see anyone he recognized. Little did he know, his stalker was right there in the mall with him, watching him.
