Chapter4:Josh Nichols
"Hey!Josh!You're never going to believe what just happened!",Drake Parker yelled to his step-brother,who was sitting right next to him.
"Dude,there's no reason to yell at me when I'm sitting right here beside you.",Josh replied to his brother that seemed really excited about something.Probably just made out with Stephanie Collins,in the janitor's closet again.
"Randa Monroe.",was all Drake could get out,he was too exited.
"Randa Monroe happened to you?Drake that doesn't make sense at all.",Josh said,not really realizing what Drake meant.
"No,dude,Randa Monroe-I have a date with her tonight.Isn't that awesome?",Drake said,barely able to contain himself.
"Are you serious?She's like the hottest girl in the school!",Josh said,totally not noticing his girlfriend,Mindy Crenshaw,sitting in her assinged seat.
Who is?You better be talking about me,Josh.",Mindy warned.
"Eeew no!Randa Monroe.",Drake replied.
"Whatever man.Mindy's still the hottest girl I've ever seen.",Josh said,as he walked over to kiss Mindy,who was sitting down in her chair.
"Eeew.Remind me to go puke later.",Drake replied to what he considered,worse than anything,but good for Josh.It was weird how he hated Mindy as a regular person,but loved what she was doing to Josh.Josh had really changed since he started dating Mindy,and he loved how it had made Josh.He wasn't really as shy as he used to be,and that was a good thing.Mindy wasn't shy,but she wasn't the social butterfly that Drake was either.As the seconds turned into minutes,in Mrs.Hafer's english class(Drake's least favorite subject),Drake quickly began thinking about what it would be like to go on a date with Randa.She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.He could tell already that working his charm on her wasn't going to work,meaning,he had to be there for her.
"Drake,what is your answer?",Mrs.Hafer asked,evily,knowing very well that Drake hadn't been paying attention,but had called on him to try and embarrass him.
"Uh...What was the question?",Drake asked,dazed and confused from his thoughts.
"According to Greek mythology,who is Hercules' father?",Mrs.Hafer asked,again,evilly.
"Uh...Zeus.",Drake answered,knowing that he was right,but because Josh had actually made him read the material.For once,Drake had done his homework.
"Wrong!Josh,what's the correct answer?",Mrs.Hafer scowled,knowing Drake was right.
"Zeus.",Josh replied with a confused look on his face.
"Correct.",Mrs.Hafer had replied,and then went back to her teaching,like nothing had happened.Drake had gotten used to this,from the first time Mrs.Hafer met him,she didn't like him.She saw who he hung out with in school,and decided that since he hung out with the popular group in school,she'd be rude.After all,Mrs.Hafer thought she knew Drake.She figured,he's a bumb musician,and he won't ever ammount to anything,but unlike the question that Drake had answered,she was wrong.
