House of Talent

by Welcome to My Mad House

This is a Fabina story. When Nina goes through tough times, she finds relief in the last place she'd expect it: music. With an on and off boyfriend, a sick grandma and a dead brother leaving her hurting, how will Nina cope? T because of some language in one of the chapters.

10. Chapter 10: Daft Hands

Hey! I got my nineteenth review! Eeep! But…could we try for 20, pleeeaassseee?

Joy

Hmmm….what to do for Nina. It has to be something embarrassing….but what? "Truth or Dare?" I asked her. Nina, blushing, said, "Truth." Dang it. I had come up with the perfect dare, but I guess this will have to do. "Do you like Jerome as more than a friend?" I asked her. Nina snorted and answered, "Of course not." She spun the bottle until in landed on…Jerome.

Nina

"Dare," Jerome said before I could even ask him. Joy made a face at him, and turned to me. "Make it something embarrassing, please?" I, surprised, nodded. I thought for a moment, and then said, "Write the lyrics to Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger on your hand. Then, the video camera in Mr. Sweet's office that he uses for the morning announcements-you know the one- perform it in front of everybody." I nodded, as if finalizing my decision. Jerome narrowed his eyes and said, "How am I supposed to do all this without Mr. Sweet noticing?" Eddie raised his hand. "I can lure him out," he said. Jerome sighed, but took it on.

(The Next Day) Nina

"Okay, Jerome, here's what we're going to do. Eddie is going to pretend to have an epic fall, and while he's doing it, you're going to run in there and turn on the video camera. Do the hand motion, and we'll do whatever dare you want us to." I promised. Jerome took a deep breath, and the plan was set in action.

I have to admit, that was a pretty good dare. "Hey, uh, Dad!" Eddie called awkwardly. Mr. Sweet, who was walking down the hall, looked in confusion at Eddie. "I have this…school-related question I need you to answer!" He said. Wow, he was almost as bad at lying as Nina was.

"What is it?" Mr. Sweet called. "Hold on," he said, and then winked at me. He started running full-speed at Mr. Sweet, until you heard this crash! And a comical, "Ow." I had no time to look though, and without hesitation, I ran into Mr. Sweet's office.

I had writer's block, so it was a short-ish chapter. Make it to 30 reviews by tomorrow, and I'll try to write my longest yet!
