 “Aris? Brandi? Where are you?” I unlocked the door with the spare key Drake had given me and called for the girls after hanging up my bag and coat on the hanger.

“Boo!” Drake yelled, sneaking up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist.

“Oh my freaking gosh, Drake. What is wrong with you!?” We laughed and Drake dragged us over to the couch. He turned it on and Dexter's Laboratory started playing.

After a few minutes, Drake looked over at me and kissed my cheek. When he pulled away, I wrapped my arms around his neck and he kissed me on the lips. Soon, our legs were intertwined and Drake's hands were around my waist, dangerously close to the waistband of my jeans.

Drake and I had been dating for almost 3 months by now. We had dated at first, from when he asked me at the ice cream shop, for only 2 weeks. I then started going to school 3 days a week(Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday) to see Drake more often. It had seemed he was getting just a little possessive though, so we broke up. Logan asked me out shortly after, and I said yes. After a week and a half, I realized that all he wanted was to hook up with me, which I never let him do and he ended up leaving my house disappointed. At tutoring the week after Logan and I broke up, Drake sang Ghost by Parachute to me, which doesn't sound all that romantic if you've heard the song, but trust me, it was. When Drake and I had dated the first time, he took me to a Parachute concert and we had kissed for the first time officially as a couple to this song.

He had also presented the extra credit anorexia project and gotten an A. He had me there, as promised, and several times during the presentation, people would give me sympathetic looks. Everyone at school was so loving and protective of me now. No one else at school was anorexic or had any eating disorders, and after Drake's presentation, which Mrs. Brown had talked the administrative into letting us present in front of the whole school, no one wanted to. I know it's wrong to feel this way, but I feel like people are being nice just because I'm dating Drake and they want him.
