Drake and Joey finally reached the front of the line and received their information. They looked at their dormitory information papers. On Joey's paper, he was in room 6 building 3 with Cameron Poshasty as his roommate.
"Who's Cameron Poshasty?" Joey asked.
"How am I supposed to know?" Drake looked at his paper. He was in room 5 building 3. with Drako Mellingson. Drako Melling? That can't be right can it? There must have been a mistake and thought it was Drake Mellingson with some other dude they forgot to put on the paper. Drake turned back to the lady who have them their things.
"Um, excuse me ma'am," said Drake. The lady behind the long table was a large lady with a big bulky neck like a bullfrog. She raised her head slowly.
"Yes?" she starred at Drake.
"Um, I think there's a mistake here, because I'm Drake Mellingson and on here it says Drako Mellingson and I think there must have been a typo or something here."
The large lady raised an eyebrow. "Let me see,: She said, her large hand reached out. Drake handed her the information and watched her scam through the paper. "I'm sorry Mr. Mellingson, but there is no type here, you are room 5 building 3 and your roommate is Mr. Drako Mellingson. Drako has registered to come to this school this year and we do sometimes put siblings together. You are siblings I presume, you were both registered by the same family." she stopped and looked at Drake who was starring in amazement with his mouth wide open. "Mr. Mellingson? Are you all right?" she asked looking concerned.
"Drako... Drako Melllingons... here... at this school?" Drake finally said, wide eyed.
"Yes, are you sure you're alright?" she asked again.
"Um, yeah. I think so." Drake stumbled back to Joey who was listening to the conversation.
"Who's Drako? You didn't tell me you have an evil twin," Joey teased, not even knowing that Drake was Drake's twin.
"I do, except he's not that evil, he's not even me. He is my actual twin. I thought that I wouldn't see him till at least when I'm in collage. But he's actually here, wow. Here. Already," Drake starred ahead, not believing that he can see Drako, tonight, right now even. Joey stared laughing. Drake looked at him in a weird way. Finally, Joey stopped laughing.
"Oh, man, that's a good one Drake, 'your actual twin is here on no!' Man, you are just too funny." Joey stared laughing again.
"I'm serious Joey, I do have a twin," Drake waited until Joey calmed down.
"Oh, you're serious?"
"Yes. I am." Drake started walking away to find building 3.
"Wait!" Joey caught up with Drake. "So you're absolutely serious then?" Drake nodded. "Oh. Wow, sorry. I thought you said you were the youngest," said Joey.
"I am. Drako is the older twin and I'm the younger." said Drake, running to building 3 when he finally found it.
"Oh, well, I wanna meet him too!" yelled Joey, running to keep up with Drake. They ran to find room 5. When they finally reached the room, Drake stood outside the door and heard somebody already inside.
"That's probably him," said Drake, taking a deep breath. "Well, here it goes," Drake went into the dormitory.
When he walked in, he smelled a really bad scent, like alcohol and mixture of other nasty smells almost like rotten garbage. He heard a T.V. on, sounded like Barney the purple dinosaur was singing it. Drake followed the sound and smell into one of the bedrooms, followed by Joey.
"Ugh, what's that smell?" Joey whispered, his nose wrinkled. "I've never smelled anything this bad before."
"I don't know, it does smell bad," Drake held his nose until they went into the bedroom and found a kid who looked a lot like Drake, messed up dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, tall, skinny, but a little too skinny, unlike Drake. He was wearing a shirt that said Blues Blues on it and was holding a Barbie and Ken doll in each hand. He was watching Barney on a little T.V. in the corner of the room. It looked he was already unpacked. There was a very familiar looking lady standing next to him. Drake walked towards them with Joey standing behind him, using him as a shield in case the smell might attack him. When they got close enough, the lady looked up and realized they were there.
"Oh, hello there, you must be Drake." Drake finally remembered where he saw the lady before. She was Mrs. Kellary. She bent over Drako and turned off the T.V. so Drako would pay attention to the people in the room. Drako looked up and had the biggest grin on his face.
"HI DRAKE!" Drako jumped up and ran over to give Drake a big hug. Mrs. Kellary smiled as she watched Drake hug his twin brother. Drake gave Joey a desperate look, wanting help. Joey looked very amused watching the two brothers hug, or more like Drako attacking Drake. Drako finally let go and sat down.
"It must be so good seeing your brother again, isn't it Drako?" said Mrs. Kellary.
"Yes it is very much," Drako's speech was slurred.
"And who must you be?" Mrs. Kellary said to Joey.
"Oh I'm Joseph. You can call me Joey."
"Nice to meet you Joey, I'm Mrs. Kellary."
"Okay... cool..." Joey looked over at Drake to see why in the world was she here. Mors. Kellary just smiled agian and looked over at Drake.
"Do you mind if we talk alone?" she turned the T.V. back on for Drako and walked out of the room. Drake followed while Joey was trapped with the smelly Drako watching Barney.
"I think I should tell you some things about Drako," she paused and looked over at Drako from the hall. "He is a very intelligetn boy, otr he used to be. For some odd reason, he's been acting really strange lately, so I took him to the doctor, not a very good doctor thought... Anyway, the doctor said that Drako's mind was changing for some odd reason. His mind is aging backwards, that's our little joke. He's mentally ill, and needs some one at his aid most of the time, that's why I sent him back here, to get a good friend to be with him for school. I also brought him here so he can come back and live with your family again. My job with him is..." She looked over at Drako again who was sucking his thumb. Joey watched in disgust. "My job with Drake is done. I don't need to do anything more with him, so I talked to your mother a month ago and she agreed that he will come back and go to school with you, and bong together like brothers should." Drake could tell she was really just making up excused why she wanted to get rid of Drako. He also now knew why he switched schools, to help Drako for eight months so Lacey won't have to deal with him. Mrs. Kellary and Lacey had obviously talked about Drake's issues and everything and decided neither of them wanted to take care of him in this state, so they sent Drake to be the babysitter. Mrs. Kellary kept babbling on and on about why he's here and she and Lacey thought it was best this way.
"Ok, so all I ahve to do is make sure that he stays out of trouble, and lock him in here when I'm not here. Sounds easy enough." Drake set all of his stuff down on the floor. It was getting really heavy just standing there.
"No actually, there's quite a bit you need to know, um, here's a list I made for you." Mrs. Kellary handed Drake a huge list of things he needs to do for Drako and what to do and not to do. Drake looked at only several things on the list. It was too long to read the whole thing at the moment.
- Make sure Drako's nightlight is green at naptime and in the night
- Drako likes to write in his Manly Journal, tell him some things to write about
- If Drako makes a big mess, sing the clean up song to get him to clean up
- Drako needs to watch Blue's Clues at least three times a week and Barney four times
Drake read on and on down the list.
"I see you boys will have a lot of fun, good luck. I better go now," MRs. Kellary went back to Drako's side and told him she was leaving for the last time. Drake gave her a big hug lke the hug he gave Drake when he first arrived, and she walked out of the dormitory.
"Good luck with him," Joey walked past Drako and out of the dormitory to his own room next door. Drake just say there stunned. What did he do to deserve this? Drake picked up his stuff and went to his new bedroom. With Drako going to school with him, and being his roommate, Drake knew this was going to be a nightmare.
