With the tiny camera in his pocket, Drake knocked on Kristina's door. He was expecting Kristina's mom, but Kristina answered it instead.
"Oh hey, Drake. Come on in," she said. She led him upstairs to her room so they could work on the fanfiction project.
When they got there, Drake saw that her walls were full of Tom Welling posters and she had Seasons 1-5 of Smallville. She even had some Tom Welling clothes. "Wow, you really like Tom Welling, huh," he said looking around.
"I love him, but not as much as I love you. Come on, let's get started." she said.
"Okay," he said as he sat down on the bed with her. Then remebering his plan, he asked, "Hey could you get me a soda or something? I'm so thirsty. "
"Uh sure, what do you want?" she replied.
"Um, Mocha Cola."
"Anything for you." she said as she walked out of her room and down the stairs.
Acting quickly Drake took out the video camera and stood up on her bed. He removed the tab and stuck it just below the point where the ceiling met the wall. Then he jumped down and smoothed out the bed so that it wouldn't look as though he'd been standing on it. Just as he sat back down, Kristina came back with the Mocha Colas.
"Oh, hey thanks." Drake said, taking the Mocha Cola. "So what do you wanna do our project on?"
"Um I was thinking we could do it on Smallville."
"Nah, I'm not really into that show."
"Oh come on. Please? I could write the story and make up all the plot lines and stuff. All you'd have to do is just proofread for errors. In fact, you don't even have to do that if you don't want. I could do the proofreading. Mrs. Haeffer won't know that I did all the work. Please?" begged Kristina.
"Okay , I'm cool with that." Drake agreed. The less he had to do, the better. And since she really loves the show, it would be pretty hard to get a bad grade on it.
"Thanks so much Drake!" and she threw her arms around him.
"No problem." Drake replied.
"Of course, you're welcome to stay with me while I work on our project." said Kristina smiling.
"That's fine with me." said Drake. He didn't want to have to explain to Josh why he came back so early, and have Josh talk about how he shouldn't let the other person do all the work.
So he stayed with Kristina for a little while as she watched some episodes of Smallville taking note of good quotes and events to get ideas for her storyline. Of course he was daydreaming about a date with Arianna. He was planning on calling her up to go night swimming since he hadn't fulfilled her request when she text messasged him prior to Josh's foot surgery. He was also eager to get back home so he could spy on Kristina.
"Thanks for staying with me. Usually a lot of the guys that come here won't stay long because they think I'm weird for being so obsessed with Tom Welling. Well I'll see you in class tomorrow. Bye." Kristina said as he walked downstairs and drove away. She watched another episode to get some more ideas. By now, she figured Drake was probably back home. So she turned off the TV and reached under her bed. She pulled out this life-sized manican of Tom Welling. Little did she know that Drake was now watching her every move through the lenses Megan gave him. "Oh Tom, I didn't really mean what I said to Drake. I will always love you much more than anyone on the planet. I just didn't want Drake to dump me like all those other guys did, you know?"
"That little liar!" Drake said. Then he saw Kristina do something he never thought she would do. She started making out with the Tom Welling manican. "Gross, she's making out with plastic," he said, disgusted. Just then, he heard someone coming up the stairs. Drake quickly turned off the plasma screen, took out the lenses from his eyes and hid them in one of the cubby holes under his loft bed. Then he grabbbed his guitar and started playing something. Josh walked in.
"Hey Drake," Josh said
"Hey."
"So have you and Kristina figured out what you guys are doing your project on yet?" Josh asked.
"Yeah," Drake said.
"What?"
"Uh you'll see when we're done. What are you and Mindy working on?" Drake replied.
"Well I wanted to do it on Oprah. But then she told me that it wouldn't work because Oprah is a talk show and doesn't have any storyline, you know? So we settled on Drew and Jerry."
"Oh that's cool You should make a Mindy character and have the Jerry guy get married to her."
"Ooh that's good! I didn't think of that. Thanks Drake, you're the best!" Josh replied ecstatically.
"Yes. I know."
"What do you think I should name the Mindy character?" Josh inquired.
"Hmm. Wen it should probably be someone who's not in this school so you don't make Mindy think you're into another girl." Drake said.
"You really think she'd assume that?"
"Trust me Josh, I've dated enough girls to
know this. They are so defensive! It's like, you just mention another
girl's name and they think you're cheating on them or something. So
if you were to pick a girl Mindy knows she might get all defensive on
you and think you like that person. "
"Okay, well what
if I just tell Mindy the idea, and then she can pick out her own
name."
"That'll work." replied Drake.
"Alright. I'm gotta get some sleep." Josh told him.
"Yeah me too." Drake said, letting out a fake yawn. As soon as Josh left to get ready for bed, Drake took his cel1 phone out and text messaged Arianna. Hey Arianna. It's Drake. Sorry I had to cancel on you a couple weeks ago. Josh was having foot surgery and he wouldn't let me leave him. So you wanna go night swimming tonight? I'll have to wait till Josh falls asleep. He sleeps like he's dead. lol. Text me back. 3Drake
When Josh gets back, Drake goes to the bathroom and pretends to get ready. Then he heads back to his room. Josh is already fast asleep. Drake climbs up to his loft bed and his phone starts vibrating. He picks it up and reads Arianna's message. Hey Drake. I'd love to go night swimming with you tonight. When you're ready, just text me. 3Arianna. Drake gives the rest of his family enough time to get to sleep and texts Arianna back, telling her he's on his way.
