They decide it'd be difficult to hide her body so what's the next best thing? kidnapping. Emma's whisked away from her simpleton life into one of what seems like life in a can. She's never felt more trapped yet somehow free. Carter Tyler is a delinquent. A high schooler who'd somehow managed to work hard enough to graduate a year earlier than Emma and all of his crime thirsty friends even though he was the same age. His first time in the school library after four years of high school he thought would be boring, indifferent if you will. Instead, he somehow ends up home with a seemingly crazy girl and missing his first kiss. In Carter's eyes Emma, who had convinced him her name was Valerie, was weird beyond belief, yet he was somewhat drawn to her. He sees Emma as a judgmental nun who assumes that just because he's been to Juvie a time or two, hasn't ever kissed a girl. That just because he could have any girl in the school that he wanted, had never been on a date. He thought Emma saw him for his looks only, and for some odd reason, he wanted her to see him as more. He wanted to show her he had a heart along with Calvin Klein looks. That he was more than a pretty face.Complete
