You're A Sunset To Me | open

[at least 2 paragraphs please. thank you!]

I see a sense of wonder, deep inside your eyes
As we're sparkling and twirling in the twilight
And after three long years, I think that we both need this
So we seal the deal in the parking lot with a kiss...

Humming a song quietly as she explored the grounds, Candie's feet lead her to a garden of roses known as the Rose Petal Lane. It was simply marvelous, since she was a hopeless romantic at heart. Not like any guy would ever take her there, but she could hope.

A small skip in her step as she walked, the aroma of roses filled her head, sending her into a moment of bliss. Roses were so beautiful; so amazing, it wasn't hard to figure out why they represented love. Picking a pink rose, she was careful not to let herself get pricked by the thorns. Oh, how everything beautiful had a dark side...

And in case you were wondering, you're like a sunset to me
You're all kinds of beautiful as you end my day
And you sweetly retire as the stars chase you away...

Sitting on one of the benches, Candie pulled away a few of the dead petals on the rose. The only downfall of something of such beauty; death. Most normal people would say the thorns were a downfall, but this girls' theory was they added to the beauty. If you didn't want something bad enough to put up with the negatives, you didn't deserve it's beauty.

Feet swaying gently back and forth as Candie eyed the rose, she scratched the thorns off with her pink-painted nails, placing the rose's stem behind her ear. How adorable she could've looked if she'd just taken the time to try. But no, makeup and hairdo's were material things; unnecessary for true beauty, as far as she was concerned.

I'd collapse to the grass, with your notes ringing in my head
Let the rain fill my mouth and in a couple hours I'll be dead
But all the while, my lips are whistling our tune
But the beauty lies in how you will revive me soon...

Glancing around, the Mihael saw no one and pouted slightly to herself. Well, for a school there was no socialization available. Maybe everyone knew she was new, and just avoided her because of it? Oh, she certainly hoped not. She wasn't a bad person, maybe even a bit too good and innocent if nothing else. Friendships were something she needed to survive, even though she rarely showed it.

Letting her feet sway to a stop, she stood again; hands in the pockets of hre faded jeans as she walked down the lane. Rumor had it the lane ended at Hogsmeade, which was somewhere she'd never been before. Maybe she'd have to check it out, if she was still alone by the end...

And in case you were wondering, you're like a hurricane to me
Your violence is beautiful, and your center; sweet
Now tell me this, do you know how we'd meet?
And in case you were wondering, you're everything to me...

.x. A place she hadn't been in weeks, since the night of the dance, appealed to dearest Kami. Getting herself out of her robes and into jeans and a tank top, much more comfortable and appealing. As she followed the lane for a good ten minutes, the aroma was overwhelming until she got used to it.

.x. "Ugh... I can't believe I liked this place..." No, it had too many memories for her now. Seeing a girl standing not far ahead, she smirked. She seemed to be in the same house, but a little bit younger. Walking over to her, hands in her pockets as well, she stopped next to her.

.x. She didn't recognize her, sadly enough. "Beautiful place, isn't it?"

When Candie heard footsteps, her first reaction was to ignore them. Most likely a professor or something. Nobody of interest to her. She was proven wrong with a girl's voice rang in her ear, older than her; but too young to be a professor or anything. The footsteps got closer, and she stopped next to her.

"Yeah, it is. It's gorgeous." Turning to her, she recognized her from the hallways, but nothing major or anything. Darn, she was hoping it was Telly again. "Come here often?"

.x. "Not very, not since my boyfriend and I broke up." Shrugging a bit, she scurried over to a little patch of black and red roses. It looked unique up to the pink and white roses all around them. Picking up one of the darker red ones, she scratched off the thorns and put it behind her ear.

.x. "But, on a rare occasion I come down here." Looking back to Candie, she offered a rose with the thorns picked off. They were much safer that way. Less pricks and less bleeding. Yep, it was better that way. "So, what brings you down here?"

As Kami made her way to a little patch of roses, Candie smiled and took the rose she offered. "I was just exploring, kind of... Getting to know the school." Nodding a bit, as if emphasizing a point, she looked up at a big willow tree next to her. She'd always loved willow trees!

She almost looked entranced, maybe even dream-like, as she walked over to the tree, sitting down against the trunk. It was nice and shaded, also shielding in case it was to rain. "How about you?" Tilting her head curiously, Candie waited for an answer.
