with barn burner anastasija created a masterpiece with these two characters!! from the beginning there’s been love, friendship and growth between drake and angie.

on the one hand we have drake, a cheerful boy, whose goal is hockey but also to create a family of his own, as he sees his friends doing, and instead he finds himself heartbroken; on the other angie, who spent her adolescence being the shadow of her father, an nfl player and the reason why boys approached her.

when angie, to ward off her ex, asked drake to be her fake boyfriend, she wouldn't have imagined ending up being friends with her neighbor, who she hated from the first meeting.

between evenings spent talking and watching episodes of one tree hill, their friendship develops, so much so that drake helps angie to love her flaws and she offers him a shoulder to lean on.

their relationship happens naturally, so much so that in the end they decide to break the agreement and make it official.

if you loved sin bin, you will love this even more!!!!
