Nina POV

I was looking at them. Fabian and Joy. They have been together for three months now. I look at them in the living room, being so happy. Ever since Fabian and I broke up, he's been dating Joy. For 3 months of pure torment. I quietly get up from my seat in the dining room and head up to my room. No one notices. Except for Amber.

"Nina, are you okay?" Amber asks, walking into the room. I shake my head, and she hands me the tissues. All I do now is cry when I'm in my room.

"Look Nina, you need to stand up for yourself. You can't just wait for them to break up, you need to take him back!" Amber says, shaking me. I sit on the edge of my bed, ignoring her. She sits next to me, hugging me.

"Hey, I'm sorry for snapping at you. The talent show is coming up; you should sing something about him." She tells me. I shake my head.

"I can't write a song." I said my voice lifeless. But she smiles.

"But I know someone who can! All you have to do is sing it, okay? And by big brother has a band, he can play with you!"

"Amber, this is all so fast-"

"No! Please Nina, you can leave it all to me. No drinking any soda, it ruins the voice." She squeals and runs out of the room. I sigh. Who knows what Amber will do?

Talent Show Day

Today was the day of the talent show. I was in the wings of the stage with Amber, and I was up next. I had rehearsed the song a thousand times. I looked in the audience and saw the whole house here to support me. Even Joy and Fabian were there. But they were making out like monkeys.

"Amber, I don't know if I can do this." I whisper to her. She just shakes her head.

"I put a lot of effort into this! Don't fail me now." She says. I nod silently.

"And now, Nina Martin singing Better than Revenge!" The announcer says. Everyone is clapping as I walk on stage. I take a deep breath, and begin.

"The story starts and it was and it was summer and

I had it all I had him right where I wanted him

She came along got him alone and lets hear the applause

She took him faster than you can say Sabotage!

I never saw it coming

Wouldn't have suspected it

I underestimated just who I was dealing with

She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum

She underestimated just who she was stealing from…

She's not a saint

She's not who you think

She's an actress! Whoa!

But she's better known

For the things that she's does

On the mattress! Whoa!

Soon she's gonna find

Stealing other other peoples toys

On the playground wont make her any friends!

She should keep in mind

She should keep in mind

There's nothing I do better than revenge!

She looks at life like it's a party

And she's on the list

She looks at me like I'm a trend

And she's so over it.

I think her ever present is a little troubling

And she thinks I'm psycho

Cuz I like to rhyme her name with things!

But sophistication isn't who you are

Or who you know!

Or pushing people down

To get you where you want to go!

They wouldn't teach you that in prep school

So it's up to me…

But no amount of vintage dresses give you dignity!

She's not a saint

And she's not who you think

She's an actress! Whoa!

But she's better known

For the things that she does

On the mattress! Whoa!

Soon she gonna find

Stealing other peoples toys

On the playground

Won't make her any friends!

She should keep in mind

She should keep in mind

There's nothing I do better than revenge!

I'm just another thing for you

To roll your eyes at, honey

You might have him

But haven't you heard?

I'm just another thing for you

To roll your eyes at, honey

You might have him

But I always get the last

Word! Whoa!

She's not a saint

And she's not who you think

She's an actress! Whoa

She's better known

For the things that she does

On the mattress! Whoa!

Soon she's gonna find

Stealing other peoples toys

On the playground

Won't make her many friends!

She should keep in mind

She should keep in mind

There's nothing I do better than revenge!

Do you still feel like

You know what you doin?

Cuz I don't think you do, oh!

Do you still feel like

You what your doin?

I don't think you do

Don't think you do!

Lets hear the applause!

Come on

Show how much better you are!

So you deserve some applause, cuz your so much better!

She took him faster than you could say sabotage!

I finished with a bang. Everyone was cheering for me, and the audience was going wild. All of the school knew it was about Joy. I had never felt so appraised in my life! But when I searched the audience, Fabian and Joy were gone. Where were they?

Fabian POV

Joy and I left in the middle of the song. We were in my room, and Joy was crying.

"I'm not like that!" Joy said between sobs. I held her in my arms, trying to calm her. Why would Nina do that? That's not the Nina I know.

"I know babe, I know. You are perfect to me." I told her. She smiled and hugged me. I hugged back.

"You know, I'm just going to bed before everyone gets here. I don't want to face them right now." She said as she got up. I nodded and smiled at her. She smiled back.

A few minutes later, I heard everyone coming in. They were all talking to Nina, of course.

"Wow, Nina! You were amazing!" I heard Patricia tell her.

"Thanks, but I want to go see Fabian." Nina said. Everyone laughed and I heard them all walk upstairs. There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." I said, clenching my fists. She came in, smiling a little bit.

"So, did you like the song?" She asks. I fake a smile.

"Yeah, I liked it. About as much as I like eating trash at 4 am in the morning!" I shout. She looks a bit stunned.

"Why?"

"You made Joy seem like a complete monster when she's not! She's completely perfect, and you humiliated her in front of the whole school!"

"But Fabian-"

"Don't, Nina! You may have earned yourself some dignity tonight, but you totally lost mine in you!"

"I'm sorry-"

"Don't say that! I just want to know why. Why would you do that? You're not that kind of girl."

"Because I like you, okay! I've like you ever since I laid eyes on you!" She screams. I look at her, and frown.

"I don't date girls who be mean and reckless to people." I whisper. She bursts into tears and leaves the room.

Nina's POV

As I left Fabian's room, I turned around. The whole house, except for Joy, was listening to our conversation. I couldn't believe it.

"Where you spying on us!" I demanded. They all look at the floor. I stormed upstairs to my room. I cried into my pillow a little bit, when a thought occurred to me. Who wrote that song!

Hey, did you all like it? I haven't written a story in quite a while, so I decided to write this one! Review, and please leave some suggestions!
