She's So High

Briar watched Sandry as she wove with Lark. She was perfect. From her gold-brown hair to her shining blue eyes, he couldn't find a single thing wrong. But his opinion would never be voiced. She was a noble, and well, he was a street rat. He wasn't worthy of her. His thought and feelings would be his alone, no one would ever know of them.

*She blood, flesh, and bone

No tucks, or silicone

She's touch, smell sight taste and sound*

*But somehow I can't believe

That anything should happen

I know where I belong

And nothin's going to happen*

Her fingers moved delicetley through the thread, and her magic shone around her. He was mesmorized by everything she did, everything that was her. ~Briar? What are you doing here~ She asked him through their magic, not even turning around. ~Just watching you and Lark, don't get distracted by me~ Sandry continued to work, and Briar continued to watch. Watching only...no touching...no holding.

*Cause she's so high

High above me

She's so lovely

She's so high

Like Cleopatra Joan of Arc or Aphrodite

She's so high

High above me*

Briar left, not able to look at her without wanting to be able to call her his. He crawled up onto the roof, laying back, and letting the wind toss his hair. It was a cloudless day, and the sun was shining brightly. His thoughts filled with the stitch witch, as some people liked to call her. Pictures of times they'd had together flowed through his mind. In the Earthquake, she'd been so close. Her body touching his. He shook his head. Nothing would ever happen.

*First class and fancy free

She's High Society

She's got the best of everything

What could a guy like me ever really offer

She's perfect as she can be

Why should I even bother*

If nothing could ever happen, then why won't she just leave me alone? he thought. Why won't she stop haunting me. At first, he hadn't really noticed his feelings. They had just been friends. But now, if she so much as touched him, he cringed and froze up. He couldn't believe he was letting a girl do this to him. Especially a silly girl, like Sandry.

*She's so high

High above me

She's so lovely

She's so high

Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite

She's so high

High above me*

The entrance to the roof swung open, nut Briar ignored it. It was probably Tris or Daja; Sandry was busy right now. Some one came on the roof, but didn't move from the entrance. He looked over to see a pair of blue eyes, looking at him timidly. His whole body froze, and his jaw almost dropped.

"Briar, why did you leave?" She asked.

He was in shock. "Since when do you care, you were busy, so I came to get some air." His hands were shaking so he balled them into loose fists.

She didn't move. "I like it when you're with me."

What was she saying? "Yeah?"

She smiled. "Yeah." She lay down beside him and rested her head on his chest, which was stiff as a board. "Briar?" Her eyes were closed, conceiling their beauty.

"Y-yeah?"

"I love you," she whispered.

He was still tense. "I love you, too."

She smiled and nodded. " I know."

*She comes to speak to me

I freeze immediatley

Cause what she says sounds so unreal

Cause somehow I can't believe

That anything should happen

I know where I belong

And nothings going to happen*

Briar couldn't help himself. He tilted her head up and kissed her. Without hesitation she kissed back, like she was breathing in his life. It was everything he knew it would be. There was a candy sweetness, mixed with honey and fruit on her lips, a taste he loved. As hard as he tried, he couldn't stop himself. What wasn't supposed to happen, was happening.

*Cause she so high

High above me

She's so lovely

She's so high

Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite

d-d-da, da, da

She's so high

High above me*
