Eva's POV.

I hate carnivals. I hate carnivals. Have I said it, already I hate carnivals? I probably would love them if I was not doing the kissing booth. Unfortunately the guy doing the kissing booth was unbelievably hot so he would have lots of girls and then I would be sitting down with no-one to kiss and everyone would be like what a loner? It sucked. I wish I was doing the bouncy castle that would have been so easy and then I could have admired the many shirtless guys around me. Yes, I am surrounded by shirtless guys. It is sunny but not warm so they should really be wearing shirts but then again the view was sweet. These guys had great muscles, I wondered if they were in the local gym I did aerobics at.

"Eva" Talking about shirtless guys here was one now though he was young, he had more muscles then any guy I knew. He must only be fifteen but he was tall. I wondered what he wanted with me so far I had done nothing besides find a chair to sit on so I wouldn't t have to stand while kissing guys if any came.

"Yep," I said, trying to look normal. He smiled. It was a scary smile. Did I have something on my face?"Your mom wants you and me to run down to the supermarket and grab some more snacks." He said. I tried to rub round my mouth in case the chocolate I ate earlier was on my face.

"Ok, Can you drive?" I asked, still trying to figure out his demonic smile.

"Yeah, my car is round the back." He said taking my arm and steering me away.

His car was old and looked unstable. I didn't t even bother checking the year or type, it meant nothing to me. I never understood cars. The inside was worse then the outside. It was covered with food cartons and wrappings. I pushed them out of the way and sat down. Apart from that, there was not much that made the car personal. He sat in and started the car. He pulled out a cd and stuck it in. It was a band I did not know but was dreadful. It was basically noise, heavy metal noise. It sucked. Ii just looked out the window.

"Hey, we just passed the supermarket." I said, he had been driving for fifteen minutes at a very slow pace. It was like he was deliberately trying to go slow.

"Oh, we can t go to that one. The food is terrible. We can go to a different one, I know." He said, giving me that strange smile. I was getting annoyed but then again this was delaying the kissing booth.

"So, what's your name?" I screamed over the guitar. He looked at me, trying to understand. I leaned forward and switched off the cd player. I repeated my question.

"Brady." He said, then switched the music on again. My head was beginning to hurt and the temperature in the car was getting higher. I turned it off. He glared at me. I leaned forward to open the window. It wouldn t open. I pushed again, no result. Brady turned the music back on while I fiddled with the window. I turned it off again. He turned it on.

"Stop it." I yelled over the music. "I can t listen to this any longer."

"My car." He yelled "My rules."

We were so busy fighting over the radio that Brady drove through a red light. With the loud noise, none of us heard the siren until the police motorbike forced us in. "See?" I said. "Stupid music. All your fault." Brady glared at me, then got out of the car.

He returned two minutes later with a ticket. I looked at my watch. I was half an hour late and I had not even got the food. Brady started up the car again. He turned the cd player on. It read NO DISC.

"Where is it?" He asked.

"The supermarket is here." I said. He pulled into the car park. His hands shaking.

"Where is my CD?" He asked. I got out of the car and handed it to him. I had been planning to give it to him back at the carnival but he was shaking and it scared me. We went inside.

An hour later, we stood at the till for the fifth time. I was very grumpy. Brady finally paid and we went out. He tripped me up and I exploded.

"What is wrong with you? We are an hour and a half late. My mom will kill me. I bet the carnival didn't t even need snacks. Did it?" I asked, pulling myself painfully off the tarmac. Brady did not answer. He had tricked me. My mom didn't t want snacks so why did he kidnap me? I should be angry about this but I was glad because I had avoided the kissing booth. "Why did you take me here?" I asked.

Brady answered straight away. I think I was actually scaring this tall strong guy. "Embry told me to." he squeaked. Embry, I didn't t know him, did I? Brady realised he had blown his cover as a cool guy and Embry s secret.

"Who is Embry?" I asked but of course Brady would not tell me. I got into the drivers seat only to be dragged out again. Brady smiled at me. "I have lost the keys." I could fight him but I didn't t. What was the point I did not want to go back. So for the next two hours, Brady and I sat in his car, devouring the snacks we had bought for the carnival which were not needed and talking.

Embrys POV.

Another girl came over. I tried to smile and hide the grimace. I had kissed forty girls today and Jake was still waiting for me to imprint. Meanwhile, Brady and Eva were missing and could not be contacted. Eva s mom had almost burst a blood vessel, not that her daughter was missing, just that no-one could do the kissing booth. In the end, Clio had called a friend because there was no way Clio, Rachel, Kim or Emily could do it without one of the guys killing someone. On top of that, everyone thought Eva was Brady s imprint and that they were off together somewhere. Brady however had been texting me every ten minutes telling me more information on Eva. I knew a lot about her now.

At four, Brady and Eva came back. I leaped in my car and left before I could be connected with the kidnapping. Jacob told me later that Eva s mom had almost shot Eva when she got back. Brady on the other hand had been congratulated by everyone for imprinting. I was paying Brady another twenty to pretend he had imprinted. It was expensive but worth it. I could not wait for school tomorrow to see her again. Brady got on well with her actually which annoyed me a lot because I was her imprint but tomorrow she would be begging me to go out with her. I just had to wait.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

The next morning, I waited outside the school for her. I did not have to wait long. She looked so beautiful climbing out of her car. Her hair was down today and she was wearing a dress which captured her figure perfectly. I smiled and walked over. It was time to work some of my magic. I kissed forty girls yesterday that were not my imprint so this should be a piece of cake.

"Hey, You were at the carnival yesterday." I said. She looked up at me with those big beautiful blue eyes.

"Yes, I was. Are you Embry?" she asked. This was easier then I thought. She had even learnt my name.

"Yeah. That's me. Will I walk you to your locker?" I asked. She looked at me with interest. I gave my best smile and she nodded. I talked to her all the way to her locker. Her locker was filled with books and a couple of scarves.

"Oh Embry. I left my jacket outside. Would you get it?" She gave me this pleading look and I could not refuse those beautiful eyes.

"Sure" I said and ran off to get it.

When I came back, she was talking to a guy. Jealousy took over and I fought the heat in the base of my spine. I bumped into the guy.

"Oh, I m sorry" I said. "I could not find your jacket, Eva" Her name sounded so good on my lips. I wanted to taste her lips but who was the guy?

"Oh, I must have left it in the car. Sorry. "She said then turned and left. I watched astonished as she walked away. I had wanted to ask her to lunch, never mind I could ask her later. The bell rang and I ran to class.

I sat down at my desk and pulled out my book. The teacher was strict and nobody ever messed round in her class.

"Open your books to page 43." She said. I pulled the pages and suddenly I was sneezing. There must have been dust on the book. I could not stop.

"Embry" She said "Is something wrong?"

I looked at her, there was no concern behind her horn-rimmed spectacles. "No miss." I said.

"Good. Next page." I turned the page and then it started again and this time I could not stop I sneezed and sneezed. I was send outside and I immediately stopped when I was out. Must be something in the room, I thought but my day continued like that. Every time, I opened a book or turned a page, I started sneezing and it took me ten minutes to stop. By lunch, I had three detentions after-school. I was so glad it was lunch, Eva would give me some sympathy. I was beginning to think one of the guys was doing a prank but they said they knew nothing about it.

I found Eva queuing in the canteen. "I had the worst morning ever" I said. She looked up at me and smiled. I took the smile was for seeing me not for my bad morning.

"Oh. Really?" She said.

"Yeah. Do you want to eat lunch with me?" I asked.

"I m sorry, Embry but no. " She said, still smiling then she reached into her bag and pulled out a jar. She placed it on my tray of food. "Kidnappers pay." She said, then still smiling walked away.

I looked at the jar. It was labelled sneezing powder. She had covered my books in it but how? Then I remembered how I had left my bag to fetch her jacket. That little minx. Brady had obviously told her that I was responsible for the kidnap. Well this was far from over. Embry Call was never beaten, I loved her but she was going to pay.
