Author's Note:I do appreciate all the fabulous reviews I'm getting,but I'm afraid that there is just not enough of them.I've only got 8 reviews for the whole thing?What is that about?I guess what I'm trying to say is,If I don't get more reviews,I won't be posting more anytime soon.

Chapter17:Making Up is Hard To Do

"Drake,what's wrong?",Josh asked,in the car on the way home.

"Nothing.Why do you always assume something's wrong with me?",Drake asked,obviously upset about something.

"I don't always ask you that.If I do ask you,I have a good reason to.So what's up?And don't bite my head off just for being concerned.",Josh stated,upset and concerned.

"Randa.She lied to me.Did you know she was a senior?She was promoted in December.She's graduating next week.",Drake said,a little relieved that he didn't have to go through it alone.

"No.I thought Randa was in eleventh,and going into 12th like you and I.She's in my physics class,but I take 12th grade physics,so that could be why.Drake,did you ever think that maybe why she didn't tell you about her being all genius is because you don't have a very good track record with smart girls.You usually get all weird around smarties.Maybe she was afraid of losing you.",Josh replied,thinking that Drake was going to feel like an idiot that he hadn't thought of that himself.

"You know man,I never thought about it that way,but I guess you're right.I mean,Randa doeasn't look,or dress,or even act like a geek,so maybe that's why I didn't realize it.",Drake replied,striking a nerve with Josh.

"Define Nerd.",Josh said,afraid that he already knew Drake's response.

"Someone that dresses weid.They have bad taste in clothes.They don't have good hair,and they just don't look attractive,and they get the best grades in the class.",Drake said,oblivious to the fact that he was very wrong with his judgement of a "nerd".

"Drake,if a nerd is someone that gets the best grades in the class,the Mindy and I are the biggest nerds.",Josh said,insulted.He already knew that Drake's friends didn't like him,but now they thought he was a nerd?

"Sorry.I really am.But you know what I mean right?",Drake replied,noticing that he had offended Josh a great ammount.

"Yeah I guess.But you should fix your relationship with Randa.",Josh replied,as they both got out of the car,and walked into the house,but only to be greeted by one of Megan's pranks.

"What the----",Drake yelled,as Josh and him were wrapped up into a gigantic rope hammock,that trapped them inside.

"Megan did this.I know she did.",Josh said,while Drake gave him the "Duh"look.

"Duh Josh.No,Sheldon did it!",Drake said thinking of how they would get down.

"Hey!Don't say Sheldon's name in vain!He'll come to get you.Do you need me to remind you of when I got stuck on the roof?",Josh asked,shivering at the memory.

"That wasn't because of Sheldon,that was because of Megan.She always does these stupid things that make us look like idiots.",Drake replied,feeling very uncomfortable,after all,who wouldn't be if your brother was trapped on top of you?Josh was forced to lay down on top of Drake,who was laying belly up to the celing,and Josh who was also.

"I know.Tell me about it.Hey Drake,you know something?You're gonna marry Randa someday.",Josh stated,as he looked up at the ceiling,because what else was he going to do?Get down?

"I know.But only if she says yes.",Drake replied,as he then coughed rather dramatically,because he had Josh's hair in his mouth.

"You know something else?",Josh asked,with a smile on his face,which was unusual for this event.

"What?"

"You're comfortable.",Josh replied,with a laugh.

"Okay,that was just plain weird.I'm gonna try to get my cell phone out of my pocket which is under your butt,so don't think I'm gay.",Drake warned.

"Okay,Just make sure that you get your cell,and aren't just saying that to feel my butt.",Josh replied.

"JOSH!",Drake yelled in Josh's ear.

"I was kidding.Jeeze,the whole world knows you're not gay.Gosh,you should lighten up a little.",Josh replied,as Drake's cell phone turned on.

"Okay.Who do you think I should call?",Drake asked.

"Don't call Mom and Dad.They'd only think we were doing this for attention.Mindy wouldn't believe you,Megan would laugh.I guess you should call Randa.I mean,you've gotta call her anyway.",Josh replied.

"Yeah,but I don't want her to think that I'm only calling her cause I need her.",Drake replied,coughing again,because of Josh's hair.

"Look,do you want to keep coughing up hair balls?",Josh asked,annoyed that Drake was soo stubborn.

"So I'm gonna call Randa."

"Good choice.Now hurry up,you're actually really skinny,which is breaking my back.",Josh replied.

"Hey,is Rand there?",Drake asked,since it was a habbit,even though he was calling Randa's cell phone.

"This is her.Drake,I'm soo sorry I should've told you,but like I said,I forgot.I hope that we're still a couple.Cause,I still love you.",Randa said,not giving Drake a chance to reply.

"Randa,I'm really sorry.It was all my fault.I shouldn't have been such a jerk.You were right,and I was wrong.I should never have been so rude."Drake replied.

"Back Aches!You give me Back Aches!",Josh exclaimed.

"Randa,I don't want it to sound like I'm using you,cause I"m not.But,could you come to my house a.s.a.p. with some rope cutters?",Drake asked.

"Rope cutters?Yeah.Sure.Why?"Randa asked,puzzled.

"Its a long story.I'll explain when you get here.Love you.",Drake replied.

"Love you too.",Randa replied,as she got ready to rescue Drake+Josh.
