13. Little Sibling

Complete story — includes the ending

Mrs. Hayfer attempts to punish Drake for lying to her about being late to class one too many times by sending him to Remedial English, a class filled with unruly and dangerous students. In order to avoid this, Drake agrees to participate in the "Little Sibling Foundation", being matched up with a boy named Sammy. However, Drake immediately drives Sammy away with his lazy and negligent behavior, causing Sammy to befriend Josh instead. Josh and Sammy then proceed to have lots of fun together, such as filming a pretend cooking show where, while recording, Josh tells Sammy how most people who know Drake and Josh normally see Drake as the cool one of the two, and that it's nice to have things the other way around. A desperate Drake then makes one last attempt to interest Sammy in order to avoid his punishment, bribing Sammy with a four-wheeler and tickets to a magic show. Although he succeeds, Drake soon regrets his decision after seeing how depressed Josh is over losing Sammy. Drake's regret then worsens after he watches the recording of Josh and Sammy's cooking show and hears Josh's confession to Sammy, in the process realizing what Sammy truly means to Josh. The next day, Drake then tells Sammy that he is not feeling well, allowing Sammy and Josh to attend the magic show instead. However, Josh then overhears Drake talking to Megan, wherein Drake confesses that he feigned the illness so that Josh and Sammy could spend time together. As a result of being unsuccessful with Sammy, Drake is then sent to Remedial English, however Josh enters and rescues his brother as a sign of gratitude for letting Sammy spend time with him.
