Ipod Shuffle Challenge Part 2
Disclaimer: It's not mine if it came from Tamora Pierce first.
1. Breathless - Better than Ezra
No one told him she was back. They all knew he'd care, but no one told him. He didn't find out until three days after she'd arrived, and only by chance. There had been a meeting for the leaders of the rider groups and when she'd walked in he'd been caught unawares. She hadn't so much as looked at him, keeping her eyes fixed on the reports in her arms the whole time. There was only one point during the entire meeting that she'd met his eyes, and it hadn't been on purpose. There had been an official review of the raid he'd led two months earlier. He knew she'd heard of it, but from the way she straightened and looked to him in surprise told him she hadn't believed most of what she'd heard. He didn't blame her. It had been something a mad man might do, but at the time he'd been ready to do just about anything.
2. Best for Last - ADELE
The other women were just distractions. He didn't really care a thing for them. They never understood that when he was with them, he thought of her.
3. Girl Like That - Matchbox Twenty
When she sees him at supper, Miri asks Evin how he got this particular black eye. He blushes and mumbles something about another rider insulting his girl.
At the time, she doesn't know he meant her.
4. Shine - Anna Nalick
Miri thinks Evin's finally lost what precious little sense he had when he suggests the Riders put on a play to raise money for a small village that was flooded that spring. Even so, he convinces her to take part in it, though she never is quite sure how.
5. Soul One - Blind Melon
"It doesn't have to be this way," he whispers in her ear, his fingers brushing the back of her neck. She tries to forget that small moment and succeeds fairly well, managing to almost completely banish it from her mind. Until, that is, Evin flashes her a crooked smile and a wink during dinner.
6. Nicest Things - Kate Nash
Sometimes she would look up to find him staring at her with a peculiar look on his face. She wished she knew what he was thinking, and at the same time, she was glad she didn't.
7. Acoustic #3 - The Goo Goo Dolls
Things aren't always perfect. They don't always get along. She shouts at him, and he ignores her and neither of them are willing to listen to reason. There are moments when reality gets to them and those are the moments that scare them the most. The outside world is something they have no control over.
8. In My Head - Anna Nalick
Though they both know that they've got something that goes deeper than friendship, neither one of them ever says it. He can see it in her eyes, and she can see it in his smile.
9. Cold Shoulder - ADELE
She wasn't envious of all of those silly noblewomen he'd been with. Not exactly. Jealous wasn't the right word either. Even though they had what she wanted, she had something they never would. He would never be able to laugh with them the way he laughed with her.
10. Motorcycle Drive By - Third Eye Blind
When she smiled at him in that way that made her whole face light up, he knew it was too good to last.
HAHA! I'm back! And I actually like these. Most of them anyway. :D
