Lyrics
My eyes roll back
The ceiling fades
I breathe you in
Exalt your flames
Let's lose our minds
Come here to me
We're wasting time
Darling can you hear me?

Heroine my sweetest sin
I can't seem to get enough
Pull me under, wake me up
Feel the rush
Morphine, lover make me numb
Make it so I can't get up
Paper thin 'til you sink in
Could you be my heroine?

Do you feel exposed?
Let your feelings show
Can I taste you, can I replace you?
I need to know
Let's lose our minds
Please stay with me
We're wasting, yeah
We're wasting time
Why don't you believe me?

Heroine my sweetest sin
I can't seem to get enough
Pull me under, wake me up
Feel the rush
Morphine lover make me numb
Make it so I can't get up
Paper thin 'til you sink in
Could you be my heroine?

It starts with the spins
Yeah you got me swimming
I'm falling to pieces and I won't be whole until you let me in
Until you let me in
Until you let me in
Until you let me in oh

Heroine my sweetest sin
I can't seem to get enough
Pull me under, wake me up
Feel the rush
Morphine lover make me numb
Make it so I can't get up
Paper thin 'til you sink in
Could you be my heroine?

My heroine
My heroine
Could you be my heroine?

"Heroine my sweetest sin, I can't seem to get enough..." I hum along to Kellin Quinn. I feel someone plop into the plastic chair next to me. I look up automatically, only to see a boy with side swept brown hair and piercing green eyes already staring at me.
"Sleeping with sirens?" The boy asks.
"...Yeah." The boy tilts his head to the right.
"What?" I raise my eyebrows, confused at his confusion. "You seem surprised I recognized the band."
"Oh... well I'm not one to judge, but you don't seem like someone who would listen to sleeping with sirens. You hang out with all of the 'hip' kids." The boy lets his bangs fall over his eyes and rubs the back of his neck.
"I didn't really until recently." I nod, accepting his vague answer. I go back to humming the song I was listening to. "So what are you at the office for?" I suppress a sigh and pause my music again. I'm not in the mood for awkward socialization.
"I was a 'smart allic' with my teacher."
"Which one?"
"Mrs.Stein. She deserved it."
"What happened?"
"Well we were in algebra 1 and no one could answer her question. I think it was about the quadratic formula. So she said that if we didn't even know that, we might as well be taking a elementary school class. So she said if I have 5 bottles in one hand, and 3 in another, what did she have. And of course I told her she had a drinking problem." The boy starts laughing.
"She walked into that one." He comments, wheezing.
"Emily! It's your turn with the principle." I get up and slowly trudge to his office.
"Wait!" I turn to see the boy scribbling on a scrap of paper. He then folds in and hands in to me. "My name is Brandon." Then as a second thought, he winks. "Wait till you are done in the office to look at it."

The paper has a number written messily. I take out my phone and text it as I step out of the school building.
Me: Hiya. This is Emily
Brandon: Hey! Wanna hang out?
Me: Surzies. When?
Brandon: The back of the school. Is now fine?"
Me: Yeppers.
Brandon: Btw, I like your words.
I smile and walk to the back of the school.
When I get there, I don't see Brandon. I sigh, thinking it was a joke.
"Wait I'm up here!" I look up and see Brandon in a tree. I blink not knowing how to react. "Wanna come up?" I nod and start climbing. Brandon smirks when I get to his branch. I raise my eyebrows. "You are wearing a poofy skirt." I slowly realize that that means my underwear was showing. I glare at him and smack his arm. "It's not my fault!"
"You shouldn't of noticed in the first place!"
"Well I wanted to make sure you didn't fall." He batts his eyelashes and puts his hands together. I role my eyes and scoot a little closer.
~*~
We talk for hours. By the time we realize how much time has passed, the sun is setting.
"I should get home soon. " He nods in agreement.
"We should hang out again. "
"We should. "
"One more thing before you go..." Brandon pushes a piece of hair from my face, then cups my cheek. Then he slowly brings my face to his and kisses me softly. We both ankle into the kiss.
