Now go stand in the corner
And think about what you did
Ha, time for a little revenge
The story starts when it was hot and it was summer
And I had it all, I had him right there where I wanted him
She came along, got him alone, and let's hear the applause
She took him faster than you can say sabotage
The song came blaring onto the radio as sixteen year old Red Grimm seethed at the injustice of life. Miranda Mauvais was dating Garson Blue a.k.a. Little Boy Blue. Last summer,she had him wrapped around her little finger. He came over everyday,made jokes about Granny's cooking, helped her post pictures of Sabrina and Puck making g out, played tennis with her in July, and then Miranda enters the scene. She and Red were best friends forever. Or so she thought. Miranda got Garson Blue alone,and she took him faster than she could 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
Red continued listening to the Taylor Swift song,since it seemed to be describing her life now. She hadn't honestly expected for it to happen. Miranda herself had said she had the hots for Tyler Ananse, not Garson. What a lie that was. It hurt even worse was that Miranda knew that Red had a crush on Garson Blue. But their dating wouldn't last long,if Red had anything to do with it
She's not a saint, and she's not what you think
She's an actress, whoa
She's better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, whoa
There was a rumor going around that the high school that the football team had given Miranda a nickname: Kneepads. The innuendo was not subtle but it did the trick. As Miranda's best friend, Red ignored the gossip,but now freed from that bondage,she saw that they weren't rumors, they were facts. She must admit that Miranda was a good actress though. What if that was the reason Miranda was dating Garson?
Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys
On the playground won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind]
There is nothing I do better than revenge, ha
But as she said before, this was not going to last for long if Red had anything to do with it . Miranda was practically asking for Red to get revenge.
She lives her 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 frown is a little troubling
She thinks I'm psycho 'cause I like to rhyme her name with things but
Ever since getting with Garson, the most popular guy in school,Miranda had dumped Red like she had the plague. She had every reason to,not good ones,but reasons none of the less. Since becoming the most popular girl in school, they hadn't talked much,except when Miranda asked why Red had been rhyming her name with things. It wasn't really her fault that she once called Miranda, "fat panda" was it? Okay,it was, but it was too tempting to resist not calling her that.
Sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know
Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go
Oh, they didn't teach you that in prep school, so it's up to me
That no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity
This song is remarkably like my feud with Miranda, Red noted. When Miranda was younger, she went to prep school. She still retained some of that haughtiness after she starting going to public, and now that she got Garson it just burst out of control. Red would have to teach her lesson in humbleness,won't she.
The chorus came on and Red pondered her predicament till the next set of verses.
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
She was just a thing for Miranda to roll her haughty eyes at,but not for long. Soon,it will be her cuddling with Garson at the football games. Her he would kiss in public.
The chorus came on again,while Red tried to find a way to get revenge on her once best friend who showed her true colors.
And do you still feel like you know what you're doing?
'Cause I don't think you do, oh
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing?
I don't think you do, I don't think you do
Let's hear the applause
C'mon show me how much better you are
See you deserve some applause
'Cause you're so much better
She took him faster than you can say sabotage
The song came to an epic end,leaving Red with a course of action, the only question was, Tyler Ananse or Alex Sodek? She was totally going to show Miranda Mauvais exactly who was boss at Ferryport Landing High.
