"So are you coming to the carnival?" Shauna asked me.

"The carnival?" I asked confused.

We were sitting at out usually table outside at lunch just chatting. It was just me and Shauna today because... well honestly I don't know where the heck the others are. I haven't seen them all day.

"Yeah it happens once every year. The school runs it and students open up booths to raise money for the school. It's really fun, I go every year with the girls" she says.

"Oh okay, yeah I'll come" I say.

"Great it's this Saturday. I'll come over early so we can get ready together and meet up with the others there" she says.

Even though it's October, it's still pretty hot outside. Like when I say hot I mean hot. Like shorts weather and this Saturday is supposed to be real hot. It's like the perfect day for a carnival.

~*~*~*~*~

Fitness. It's not that I don't like being active because if you know me than you know that I love fitness. It's just that I hate supply teachers and right now that's whose talking right now.

"You guys can do what ever you want as long as you don't leave this gym. Got it?" He says rudely.

This is what I'm talking about. I mean the whole point of fitness is to be active not just lazing around. This is why I hate supply teachers.

So being the person that I am, I went and picked up a volleyball and starting serving against the wall by myself. I was actually enjoying myself a lot.

'This is it, if tris can do one of her amazing serves that no one can return then she could win the championships. It's all on her right now.

**the whistle blows**

She takes in a breathe. She throws the ball up and...'

That thought was interrupted when the ball was snatched from the air before I could hit. What now? I turn to look who interrupted my winning serve to find it to be the one and only Four!

"Can I have the ball back?" I ask.

"Only if you can reach it" he says cockily.

He raises it up above his head holding it with one hand. How do people do that like doesn't it just fall out. I jump up but he's too tall for me I'm no where close.

"Four" I say sternly.

"On one condition" I look at him telling him to continue "you come to the carnival this Saturday" he finishes.

Why does everyone talk about this carnival. It's just a carnival. I roll my eyes and answer him.

"I'm already going. Shauna asked me to come" I say.

He chuckles and then smirks. What's going on? He lowers the ball and I grab it out of his grasp. He turns and walks away after sending a quick wink my way. I'm about to finish my thought of me being the best volleyball player out there when the bell rings.

*~*~*~*~*

It was finally the end of the day and I was waiting by Fours motorcycle because he wasn't out yet. My parents thought it was a good idea to sell my car after it came back from the repair shop. They said we need to save money so we can move back into our old house faster. I mean who wouldn't want to be driven to school on a motorcycle by an extremely hot boy. That is how my mom would say it, if she was single and not married. But I could tell by the way she looked at me when I said I'd rather have my own car. So she used the whole 'we need to save money' crap when we both know that we have enough money. The insurance is paying for our new house so we had nothing to worry about.

Although construction was taking a really long time, it felt like I would be with the Eaton's forever. My train of thought was interrupted when someone spoke.

"Hey" the voice said, probably Uriah.

"Hey Uriah " I say looking at him.

"Whatcha doing?" He asks.

"Just waiting for Four. He's taking his sweet time, and I want to go home" I say looking past him to see if he's coming or not.

"Oh okay. So...." he says thinking of something to ask me so the conversation doesn't die "are you..."

"Coming to the carnival? Yes I am with Shauna" I say with a hint of annoyance in my voice.

"Woah just asking, no need to get your nickers in a twist" he says smirking.

"Sorry it's just everyone keeps asking me about this carnival. Like what's so special about it?" I ask.

"People just get really excited this time of year because the carnivals are awesome and the more people that go the more fun it is" he says. "Well I better get going my brother is ready to leave, bye Tris" he says and turns to leave.

"Bye Uriah" I say in response.

I smile at the ground once Uriah has left. He can be genuinely nice when it's just me and him, but a whole different person when he's with his friends.

As if right on cue, Four walks up to me.

"Hey babe" he says smirking.

I roll my eyes and put my helmet on. He helps me with adjusting it and before I know it were home.
