Yes, I know I'm naughty, I had no internet connection because I had to go on a 'fun' 5 hour road trip with my family…

….

Nick Mellark.

I was not going to cry.

Sonya would hold it against me for the rest of my life. They were leaving today, we were at the train station.

We've already said our personal goodbyes. Not wanting her father to see us hug and kiss.

That would be really awkward.

"Goodbye." I said to Daniel and Sonya in a high pitched voice.

Sonya smiled a little bit and held out her hand "It was nice to meet you."

I took it, her hand was tiny compared to mine and I shook it. "It was nice to meet you too."

My dad looked at me and Sonya.

He knew something was up. But thank goodness, he didn't say anything. They started to board the train, and I wanted to yell for them to stay here forever.

Anastasia's eyes were slightly watery, when we waved at them from the train. We could see them from the window, Sonya and Daniel were waving frantically until we couldn't see them anymore.

My parents lead us away from the station and slowly back to our house. I shoved my hands into my pocket and moved around the crinkled piece of paper. That paper was probably one of the most important thing right now.

Sonya's number was on it.

A few weeks later

Anastasia Mellark.

For once in my life I actually paid attention in class.

It paid off completely because I learned that classes from different districts would be going to District 13, to learn about it, and learn more about the rebellion.

That means Daniel and Sonya would will be there.

After class I grabbed a permission slip and eagerly made my way to find Nick, he was talking to his friend Marlin, he was like another brother to me.

"Nick! Guess what!" I jumped up and down, normally I didn't act like this, but I would be seeing Daniel again!

"What? You actually made a friend?" Marlin said, and I rolled my eyes, ignoring his comment.

"No… Kids our age from all around the Districts are going to District 13." Nick looked confused and I wanted to hit him "Like a certain girl from 2,"

Marlin seemed to be excited as well and he looked over at Nick "You mean that smokin' hot girl you were telling me about?" He smiled "She has to have a hot friend right?"

"No." My mom said.

"What?" I said completely shocked. She had to let me go! Sure, my mom was over proactive at times, but it was for school! Not that I was excited about that part.

"What if-"

"NO!" She said sternly.

My dad walked in drying his hands on a towel "No what?"

Mom shook her head "Your kids want to go to District 13 with their school."

When dad didn't agree with her she stormed out of the room and my dad whispered to me "I'll talk to her."
