Title: You Belong With Me
I looked out my window and into Nigel's he was pacing back and forth yelling into his phone. He hung up.
You're on the phone with your girlfriend,
She's upset
She's going off about something that you said
She doesnt get your humour like I do
I picked up our phone cups. It seemed silly, 16 and we still have phone cups, but we had them since we were kids so we never bothered to take them down.
I picked it up and spoke. "Nigel?"
His eyes brightened, picked up the cup. "Hey Rachel."
"Whats going on this time?"
"She has the worst sense of humor I told her a redhead joke and she got all pissy with me."
"What was the joke?" I asked.
"Don't tell it to Fanny." he warned.
I laughed. "Please I value my life now about that joke."
"Well you know she got plastered and drunk beyond belief." I nodded, the image of Lizzy dancing on a table in her cheerleading uniform holding a bottle of Vodka she had snuck into the tree house. "Yea well I told her that she's like every other red head out their, they cant hold their drink down, which got her infuriated with me." I laughed.
"Hey I got to go Nigel, big test tomorrow."
"Ok Rach."
I hung up and turned up my radio my favorite song was playing. It was You Belong With Me, by Taylor Swift. I chuckled. "You got that right Tay, Nigel does belong with me." Lizzy hated country so I made it a point for every time I saw her to play country music really loudly.
I'm in the room, its a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesnt like
And she'll never know your story like I do
I stayed up late that night thinking. What does she got that I don't? She's captain of the cheerleaders I'm captain of the Science Team. She wears heels I where sneakers She wears really short skirts, I where jeans and a t-shirt.
But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're lookin for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me
We went for one of our walks. He was always different without Lizzy and with me. We just talked and I saw his smile that I hardly ever saw now a days.
Walkin the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isnt this easy?
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I havent seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You say you find I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?
I was sitting on the bleachers, Nigel was quarterback. I looked over at Lizzy, who was walking away with the second line quarterback. She was cheating on him!
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
It was the day of the dance and I was sitting on my bed.
"Rachel," I picked up my phone cup.
"Nigel," I replied.
"You commin to the dance?"
"No sorry, Proof test tomorrow Miss Dud is a bitch for making us have a test on the night of the dance, and we just learned this today."
"Come on Rachel, your one of the smartest kids in out class."
"Yea with Kuki and Wally, but Wally's a genius so that doesn't count!"
"Fine Rachel, if your up I'll string you." string you was our saying for telling each other when we'd use the phone cups, now it just sounds wrong."
Standin by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that?
You belong with me
You belong with me
Oh I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams
I think I know where you belong. I think I know it's with me.
I stared at my clock, then at my closet where I had my one dress in it. It was a baby blue,the same as my eyes, strapless, with a sweetheart neckline, it went strait until it reaches my hips where it would pan out and become one of those beautiful ball gowns that people wore. I wore my long mid back blonde hair in ringlets. I applied some blue eye shadow and black mascara. I put on my blue opal earrings that Nigel bought me for my birthday.
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by or waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that
You belong with me
You belong with me
I went to the dance, and found Nigel arguing with Lizzy, yet again. He stormed off, saw me and walk toward me.
"Hey Rach," he said.
I took a deep breath. "I love you," I whispered to him.
His lips captured mine. "I love you too, Rach."
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me
