Mick's P.O.V
Some boys want to be my best friend just to get to my sister. See, my family is rich, and my sister Nina, is a famous singer. And lately things had just been getting worse with my friends and I. My family had lived in England, and then we went to America, and found out about Nina, her parents died a while back. And while we were there, we found out that her gran was sick, and we took Nina in. I was four at the time and Nina was three, almost four. And, after a year in America, we moved back to England, and for Nina, moved there. And she has always loved to sing, and when she was eight, she got up and sing a restaurant we were at and got up on the little stage and sung. When she was done, the whole restaurant was captivated by her. And this guy came up to her and said, I want you to be in my record label. Nina was so surprised and flattered, but the guy said he has a problem, he doesn't have a record label and if she could wait a few years, while he could sign her and what not, she could mature. And she never gave up hope in the guy, ever since he saw her once at the restaurant, she was able to wait for him, when she was twelve, almost thirteen, my parents had gotten a call from the guy, who then had a record company and really wanted to her her sing and sign her, so we drove to London two weeks after she go the call, and he signed her. Now, she is a famous singer at the age of sixteen, and I am a very talented boy at sports.
And the reason I am so mad right now is because people love my sister, and we go to two different schools but they are close to each other, and its a boarding school but we just walk a mile every day to go home. And its not because people love my sister I'm mad, no. I'm mad because boys know my sister is and think she is hot. Yeah, I have to say she is really pretty, but I would never think of Nina like that. And most boys think, she is famous, and vulnerable for a boyfriend. That's when they pretend to be my best friend and want to meet my sister and have her fall for them and have Nina go out with him. And I thought I could only trust my best friend of not being like this, I mean, we even made-fun of the boys who desperately want my sister. But, No. My best friend, ever since I was 11, had stabbed me in my back, Jacob Louis used me. I am very protective of my sister so of course I was and still pissed off. It just happened this after noon. Ever since Nina has grown into a young women, more boys want her. Especially Jacob Louis, this after noon he told me it started off as "Dude, you swear you won't get mad at me?" and it all went down from there. I never swore I wouldn't get mad, and even if I had swore, I still had every right to be mad at him. He used me, like every one else. And I though I could trust him. Well forget that!
I now only have one best friend, and a whole bunch of fake friends. I mean, I was closer to Jacob then I am to Fabian, but that all will change. The only reason I had became friends with Fabian was because I needed some help in some classes. But after that we became closer, he is the best goalie ever! And very good at defense. He has been over to my house a couple times, but I really like him, he's a good guy. Fabian doesn't care that my sister is famous, and I like that about him. And personally, if he likes my sister I wouldn't get mad, because Fabian isn't a jerk to girls, so, I'd trust him if he was with my sister.
My thoughts were interrupted by knocking on my bed room door. "Come in!" I say. When the door opens, it revels Fabian. "Hey, why weren't you at practice today? Coach was like 'its Mick, the captain, give him a break' but since the last time you missed practice was when Nina was terribly sick and your parents weren't home for the few days. So I figured something was wrong, what's going on?" Fabian asked me. "Well, my best and was my closest mate, likes my sister and just was using me to get to Nina. Jacob Louis. He thinks Nina is hot and stuff I'd rather not repeat, it was just disturbing to hear your best mate, ever since you were eleven, talk that way about your sister." Fabian looked like he was ready to punch the kid in the face. "Fabian, dude, whats going on, you look ready to punch Louis?" I asked. "Well, first he used you, my very close friend, and your sister, my cousin's best friend in the whole world, and why the hell would Louis want to do that kind of bad things to your sister?" Fabian said, anger visibly boiling inside of him. "You make a point, but how do you know about the bad stuff he wants to do? I didn't tell you that!" I ask. Fabian sighed, a long heavy sigh. "Well, a few years ago when you went to some sports school thing for a semester, Jacob and I had become really good friends, or so I thought. He had come over to my house almost everyday after school, and one day he saw my sister, Natalie. He took a liking to her. Well, at the time I never thought anything of it. And later that week I herd Natalie had started seeing someone two years younger then her, the boy was our age, fourteen. And a few days the next week after she started seeing this guy, when she came home from school Natalie would just rush upstairs and change from her usual school clothes to skimpy things, throw a long coat over her self and rush out of the house. Well, the next two or so weeks she had been coating her face in make-up; heavy eyeliner, dark lipstick and what not. And she would come home from school, rush upstairs, and then rush back out. Well, I started to follow her one time and I found her behind some old building. I saw some boy, a hood covering his face, grab her wrist pull Natalie towards him and kiss her roughly, and then I saw the boy push her back and he looked like he was was yelling her and then he hit her her around the eye. Natalie broke down in tears. And then I saw the boy kneel down where she was and apologize. So, I felt that it wasn't something he meant to do. And so, I went home. The next week, I herd the front door open and slam shut, Natalie didn't know I was home, and my mum and dad weren't home, I knew Natalie was in her room, so, I assumed that was her boy friend. And after a little bit I just went upstairs to ask Natalie a question. When I opened her door I was shocked and ready to almost kill the boy. Natalie was in a corner of her room, had a bleeding cut in her shoulder and a broken mirror. The boy was cornering her, forcing her to do 'it' and Natalie had tear-stains on her checks. When I looked more closely the boy was Jacob Louis. I yelled at him to get the hell at of my house or I call the cops. Ever since then I hate him and will never give that a second thought. He used me, to a point, he tricked my parents, me and my sister. Jacob hit my sister that's one reason she caked her face in make-up, he tried to get her to do 'it' and he threatened her not to tell anyone or he would very badly hurt me, or even kill me." Fabian said looking ready to murder him. Hearing this made my blood boil, if he did this to Fabian's sister, what was he going to do to mine! "What! That little sh!t did that to your sister! If comes in a ten mile distance from my sister, I'm gonna kill him." I said ready to punch the wall. "Mick, I think you and I know one thing you need to do" Fabian said. And I did. "You're right, I need him to ban him from the football team." (British football!) I said. "Yeah, well I know what it felt like, and I don't want you to go through the same thing" Fabian said. "Thanks mate, I hope we can become better friends, you know, I lost one of my best friends, well he pretended, but yeah." I said. "Yeah! You're welcome, hey I'm sorry, I gotta head some where my mum signed me up for. See you later!" Fabian said leaving.
Yeah. Hey, if he knows Nina, and cares for her like he did, and doesn't care that she is famous, may-be they could date some day. May-be.
"Hey! I just saw Fabian leave, what happened to the Jacob kid?" Nina said walking into my room and plopping down on my bed. So, I explained to her the whole fight, how every one of my friends use me, how Fabian got mad, and why he got mad when I told him about Jacob. "Wow, poor Natalie! Well, I got to run, mom signed me up for a dance class so I can learn how to ball room dance or slow dance, its along the lines of that! Or I think its just a dance class in general!" Nina said getting up, hugging me then leaving to change then leave.
Nina's P.O.V
I can't help but think of what Mick said on my way to dance class. Fabian is so sweet to care for me like that. I think he is the only boy that doesn't care that I'm famous. I mean I have a small crush on him and he cute. When I got to the dance place, the teacher said she'd pair us up, and teach us how to dance over the next six weeks and then we'll hold a ball-like thing and invite people. Its really big, people from other counties come of this sort of thing. And the whole class will have a performance, and even you and your partner get a chance to compete in a competition against other kids our age, even form other countries! "So, the partners are Amanda and Matt, Ana and Bobby, Emma and Ryan," the teacher, Mrs. Smith started. "Meghan and Tyler, and Nina and Fabian! So, get with your partner and get to know each other for a few minutes!" Mrs. Smith finished. I'm with Fabian! Cool! At least I know him!
"Hey" Fabian said, "Well, at least we aren't complete strangers!" I said trying to break the ice a little bit. "Yeah, so, um whats your favorite...book?" Fabian asks me. "I don't want to sound geeky but The Hunger Games!" I answer. "No way! Me too! Can you believe that Gale got wiped?" Fabian asks. "No, I was like 'what'? And I thought it was so sweet when Peeta steps in and is like you want Gale you have to go through both of us!" I answered. "Yeah! I thought that was really nice. What did you think of the ending of Catching Fire? I can't believe there is no district 12!" Fabian says. "No! No, no, no, no, don't tell me! I haven't gotten there yet! I'm only on page 185!" I say playfully hitting his arm. "Hey! Its not nice to hit!" Fabian says, then starts to tickle me. "Stop! Fabian!" I squeal. "No, really! Please!" I say then he stops. "Ok, class! Now that you all know each other a bit, lets get started!" Mrs. Smith says. "Alright! So stand up!" she instructs, because everyone was sitting on the floor. After we all stand up she starts talking again, "So, boys, put your left hand around her waist, and your right hand take her left hand and lace your fingers together" Mrs. Smith instructs. "Now, don't be afraid of each other, boys, pull her closer. And hold your hand that's laced together up, yes! Like Nina and Fabian!" Mrs Smith says, and everyone in the room looks at us, then copies off of what we are doing. "Girls, take your other hand and put it around his neck. Yes! Nina and Fabian are doing everything correctly! Bravo!" Mrs. Smith says. So, after a few more instructions, we were done with that. "The class is almost over and by next Thursday, a week from today, I want you all to pick a upbeat song, a slow sweet song, and a slow song of your choice! And a theme! Alright! That's class, you all can grab your bags and go!" Mrs. Smith says. We all walk over to the wall where everyone threw their bags and depart. "So, when you want to get together and choose the songs?" Fabian asks. "Um, tomorrow after your practice?" I answer, hoping he says yes. "Yeah, that's great! But don't tomorrow you have band practice that usually runs late?" he asks. "Well, yeah, but it would only go to four thirty, and your practice goes to five, you could walk home with Mick" I suggest. "Yeah, only one problem, I'd be sweaty and possibly stinky! I don't think you'd want to work with me then!" he says laughing. "Ok, so you come home with Mick, bring a change of clothes in your bag and some soap and take a shower and change at my house. But by then it would be supper time, so you could have supper with Mick, our parents, Savannah (their 4 year old sister), and my self. Then after dinner we could pick our songs?" I said really hoping he'd say yes. "Yea! Yea, that'll work! Um, any estimated time we'd be done?" he asks. "No, not really, we can make one if you have to be home or somewhere by a certain time." I answered, "Oh, no! I was just wondering if I should bring pajamas. I mean I've slept over at your house before when Mick has invited me, so I could sleep in one of the guest rooms." Fabian said. "Yeah! But would your-" I started but his phone rang. "I'm so, so sorry! Please, hold on a minute?" He says. "Hello?" I here him say into the phone.
As soon as I blinked my eyes, he was off the phone. "who was that?" I asked, "Oh, my mom, she asked if I was going to do anything tomorrow so she doesn't make plans, and I explained what was going on." Fabian answered. "Oh, ok! What did your mom say?" I asked.
Fabian's P.O.V
"What did your mom say?" Nina asked. I need to quickly think of something, because my mom knows I have a crush on Nina, but not a big one. And my mom said "ooooo" but raising the sound so she sounded like a three year old who saw her sister kiss her boyfriend, so my mom sounded, like "oo0O0o". "She said ok, love you and hung up." I answered Nina. "Wait what was your ring-tone?" Nina asked me. "Oh, one of my favorite songs, its on The Hunger Games Soundtrack, its Rules" I answered. Nina quickly pulled out her iPhone and Went to her music and played the song, because she has the whole Hunger Games Soundtrack on her phone, but never listened to all of the songs yet. "Awesome! we should use it as a song to dance to!" Nina said. "Ok! So, upbeat song?" I asked as we had stepped out of the dance place and walked down the street together. "I have the slightest bit idea right now, but we can talk about it tomorrow." Nina answered. We walked in silence for the rest of the way to where we split off in our neighbor hood. Nina goes right and I go straight. "Bye, Fabian!" Nina says facing me, as we are stopped at the split. She smiles, "I had...fun" she says, and hugs me, then walks off without turning back. I watch her walk off. Damn, I wish it was Friday already!
When I walked home I find my mother making supper. "So, how was the dance class?" mum asks me, with a slight teasing-ness in her voice because Nina is my partner. "Good" I answer simply. "Whats for supper?" I ask. "Hamburgers, The Campbell's recipe from when they went to America." my mum says. I go and change out of my dark blue tee-shirt that fits nicely, but I wouldn't call it form-fitting, because if it got tighter it would be form-fitting, so I change out of the dark blue tee and dark blue soccer shorts with a white stripe down the side of them. I slip on a dark blue 'Rutter #11' football (soccer) sweatshirt and khaki shorts, and white and blue Vans, that my mum just got me. So, in other words, I look decent, just for a family supper we have every night, we always eat supper together, its just something we always do in this family.
