Last year of high school. Senior year. Everything is perfect. Darcelle, called Darcy by her friends, is part of the popular girl gang Trix along with Isabel (Icy) and Steph (Stormy). She looks like the good girl, the angel, but underneath there is the will to break out. And she is a girl who achieves her goals no matter what. She manipulates, she lies, and yes she also smokes – secretly, but she’s so tired of her perfect façade.
They all aren’t innocent.
The Trix, they are high school royalty. Popular, yet feared, they excel in the major subjects as well as sports and cheerleading. All three of them come from influential families – no one dares to stand in their way and they are inseparable, until the transfer student arrives who turned Darcy's world upside down. Riven.
I know you told me I should stay away
I know you said he's just a dog astray
He is a bad boy with a tainted heart
And even I know this ain't smart
The eyes of the devil, the smile of a killer and a school file full of problems. The loner got all of the students' attention. It’s obvious: this boy is dangerous. He talks to no one, except talking back to the teachers which he intimidates very well with that devilsh grin than never reaches his eyes. The lone wolf can be seen reading by his own, every day with another book. He cares for no one, his eyes look through the pupils as if they were nothing but worthless mayflies.
Until he sees the girl with the long brown hair and the tinted sunglasses who enters the literature classroom after being absent for some days.
And they know this could be heaven or hell or both. In any case, it won't end well.
And I hear people talk
Trying to make remarks keep us apart
But I don't even hear I don't care
Not able to resist, they hang out, spend time together, and soon enough the so called with of illusions - a nickname she got from the opposite gang who are called something like "wings", Darcy doesn't care - and the lone wolf are more than strangers to each other. Icy and Stormy see that this is different than Icys fling with the football captain Sky. It also has no similarities to the flirty banter Stormy and the aspiring choir member with the raven hair share. No. It’s different and it’s dangerous. But Darcy won’t listen, she’s drifting into her daydreams, dreaming of his violent violet eyes.
Rumors of his criminal actions turn out to be all true. He’s a liar, a villain, a bad boy – but is he a killer? How can he, when he touches her so gently? How can he kill someone with the same hands that brush through her hair, soft like a summer breeze? How could this voice belong to a killer, that whispers her name at night like it was a prayer?
And he's got my name
Tattooed on his arm his lucky charm
So I guess it's okay he's with me
Darcy doesn’t listen what her “sisters”, the Trix tell her. She doesn’t want to hear it. Because she knows. She knows it: Riven killed people. And he would do it again. For her. He would kill the world, if it was against them. So that they can be together. And she has to admit… she’d gladly help him, writing love vows with the blood of the fallen, wearing it like red lipstick. She knows. She knows so well where it leads, yet she can’t let go.
He is a killer just for fun, fun, fun, fun
That man's a snitch and unpredictable
He's got no conscience, he got none, none, none, none
All I know, should've let go, but no
They move careful like dancers around each other. Never getting enough of each other. With every step they take, darkness corrupts her more and more. He knows and takes the lead, taking her where she belongs.
But mama I'm in love with a criminal
And this type of love isn't rational, it's physical
Mama please don't cry, I will be alright
All reason aside I just can't deny, I love the guy
Listened to this song the first time since ages.... and I saw them. Of course I saw them. And it was time for a new driven post :3
