Have you guys read 'The Maze Runner'? I'm starting to read it now. How did you guys like it?
And Gary Ross isn't directing the Hunger Games anymore! GR! WHY! Sure we complain about the shaky camera angles and some of the parts from the book weren't in it, but all in all it's still a good movie and I was looking forward to see what he would do with the second one.
…..
Nick Mellark.
The power of a husband/dad is incredible.
We were going to District 13.
After a long boring discussion of responsibility and behaviour mom finally cracked and said yes. Hastily scribbling her signature onto our permission slips. At supper she reminded us yet again about our behaviour.

Anastasia
Right after dinner I bolted towards the phone determined to call Daniel. But my brother apparently had the same plans because he rushed towards it as well.
"You and Daniel spend forever on the phone!" He shout whispered. We still haven't told our parents about Sonya and Daniel.
"Oh and you don't with Sonya?" Whenever they call each other they spend at least an hour on the phone. "Besides" I added "I got here first."
"Well you saw me looking at it." Nick argued "I was going to go for it first, but you beat me to it."
I snorted "Even if I did, I was born first so ha-ha." And I snatched the phone and sprinted up into my room.
After shoving a chair to block the door, I jumped into my bed. I learned last week that I should put a chair in front of my door because Nick busted in and tried to grab the phone and of course, he's good at wrestling so he said goodbye to Daniel and hung up the phone.
"Hey." I said breathlessly when Daniel answered.
"Hi Anastasia." Shivered ran down my back. Everyone called me Ana, Daniel did sometimes. But he usually called me by my full name. He made is sound so damn special.
I got comfy in my blue covers "Did your school talk to you about that trip that's in a week. It's to District 13."
"Yea!" Daniel said excitedly. "I can go. Can you?"
I almost shouted out with joy. But I didn't, that would be weird. "Yes!"
A new voice filled through the phone screeching "DANNY AND ANA SITTING IN A TREE!"
For a second I thought it was my brother, getting a hold of the phone. Nick never did have a good voice like mom and I.
But the persons voice was to high-pitched. "Who's that?" I asked.
Daniel sighed "Sonya, and her awful voice."
"I sound just fine!" She called.
I rolled over onto my stomach "Since when did Sonya live in 4?"
"She doesn't." He explained. "Your school finishes later, since it's the weekend, her and her folks came down to visit."
"Ohh." I was going to say more but yelling came through the phone, it was Sonya… again. "Lemme talk to her! Oh and afterwards I wanna talk to Nick!"
Faint noises of protest came from Daniel. "Hey do you know what the date is?" Sonya asked.
"Uh, I think it's the 16th why?" All I could hear was silence. What was so special about today? It wasn't a holiday. So I guessed. "Your birthday?"
I could hear Daniel sigh with relief. "How did you know?" Sonya asked.
"Oh, Daniel told me." I lied.
We spoke for a few minutes about the trip. Until Sonya yelled "OH HEY! I have an idea. We get to pick roommates to be staying with right?"
"Yea I think so."
"Then we should room together if we can!"
We agreed to ask our teachers about it, and then she asked to speak to Nick. I walked over to the door and opened it. I almost tripped. Nick was sitting right in front of my door.
He grabbed the phone from me. "About time."
I shrugged "Sonya's at Daniel's house because…" Then I stopped. I decided to not tell him about her birthday, he deserved to suffer. "There just visiting."

Sonya.
I was kinda pissed that Nick didn't know it was my birthday. Well, it's not like I told him, it's not a good conversation starter. I could just imagine it Hi! I'm Sonya and my birthday is on April 16th.
My parents, Annie and Daniel brought me out of my pissy mood by giving me my presents. My parents got me some of everything I like, it was in a huge, badly wrapped box. But I loved it! It had pictures. Of me with my family and friends (to me, Daniel and Annie were in both categories, sure, we weren't related by blood, but there were my family). A green shirt that I desperately wanted from my favourite store, socks (and lots of them), and of course chocolate, white chocolate to be exact. I had a love-hate relationship with it. I loved it so much but I ate it so much I would feel sick afterwards.
Daniel shyly brought out his moms and his present and handed to me. "It's not as much as that" He pointed towards my parents present "But I'm sure you'll love it."
I had no doubt that I would love this present, me and Daniel trusted each other a hundred present. I carefully opened it, not sure what to expect.
It was a necklace and some earrings.
The earrings had a pearl on either side of it and I smiled when I looked at the sea glass bottom, they were an oval shape. The sea glass was a light blue color. I brought it close to me. "Thank you!"
Annie smiled "There's still the necklace."
I put down the earrings and picked up the necklace. Again, this one had a sea glass stone, but it was a dark color. Like the ocean during a storm. A dolphin was on the front and me and Daniel started to laugh.
When I saw 10 I saw my first dolphin, with Daniel. It was in District 4 (of course!). We were swimming like we did whenever we saw each other. We'd swim until we were dried prunes. It was the last night we had until I left and I saw something in the water, I automatically assumed it was a shark and I swam as fast as I could. Daniel still laughs about it to this day because it was a dolphin.
I hugged them both. "Where did you find these?"
Daniel blushed while Annie explained "Actually Daniel found the sea glass and we went to a jewelry store."
I smiled.

"Now I get to give you your other birthday present." Daniel smiled.
We were sitting on our cliff. Well technically it wasn't our cliff, but no one crazy enough would swim a few yards out to sea and climb to the very top of a rocky island.
But we weren't crazy enough to jump off of it. It was too high, once we attempted to but we both chickened out. Instead we sit very close, with our legs dangling over the side.
Daniel pulled out alcohol, and I laughed very hard. Daniel and I never did anything really bad. Sure we'd sneak out and go to a party or too, but we were too scared to drink alcohol. Daniel didn't like the feeling of not having control when you drink too much, and me? I just didn't like the taste of it. When you drink it and afterwards when it comes back up.
"Where did you even get that?"
He smiled mysteriously "I have my resources."
We took turns sipping it from the bottle. Daniel brought a backpack, but he didn't want to put glasses it because he was afraid they would break.
We drank until my vision started to turn hazy and I would slur when I speak.
He passed me the bottle and I shook my head. "W-what did you get me into Danny?" I scooted over to him and put my head on his bare chest.
We attempted to talk but it didn't work. Suddenly I had the urge…
The urge to kiss him.
