Cassia, Xander, Em and Ky went to a picnic and to plant some flowers to decorate a park and as a reward the got ice-cream. There was Cassia and Xander's first kiss. When the picnic ended they went to the music hall to listen to music but there Em got an anxiety attack and Xander had to give her his green tablet. You take the green tablets when you need to calm down. That night Cassia dreamed that Em was in her matching banquet and she had to take the red tablet and that killed her. On one actually knows what the red tablet does. The next day, Cassia had to perform her work in front of officers that will determine her job. When she finished that she went to research for more poems Tennyson. When she got home her mother told her that she had to go on a work trip and she didn't knew when she was getting back. Cassia was sad and she will miss her mother because she doesn't travel much. That day was Em's Matching banquet and she asked Cassia if she could borrow her compact because she didn't had any artefact. Cassia lends Em her compact. When Em was getting back to her house on the air train she saw Ky and gave the compact to him because she thought that they will see the next morning on hiking but it was canceled because of the bad weather. The next day Ky gives Cassia the artefact but it wasn't her artefact, it was Ky's but she didn't noticed it until she got to her house but before Ky tough her to write some more. First she is learning to write her name. At the end, Ky gave Cassia an napkin and told her to open it when she is in a safer place and that she destroys it when she finish looking at it. The next day it took more time for her to get at the top of the hill. When she got up she saw Ky with another girl and they where drawing in the dirt. Cassia felt very bad because she thought that writing was something special between Ky and her. That night Cassia had a date with Xander but there was an Officer with them too so that made the things awkward. The next day when she got to her neighbourhood she saw many officers and she got worried because she didn't knew what was happening. The Offices where taking all the artefacts from everyone and Cassia still had Ky's artefact. She ran into the house and grab Ky's artefact and gave it to Xander that was waiting for her in the door. Xander had a plan so the officers don't take the artefact.
Because I read things I shouldn't read and learn things I'm not meant to know and I might be falling in love with someone else. What I say is, "My father..." (195)
I can connect with Cassia because we both think a lot but never actually say anything. She is always thinking about many things but never really says anything and there are a lot of things happening in her life at that moment but she acts like everything is fine. She still lying to Xander. Little by little all of those lies will accumulate and at the end they will explode and there is no way to stop it.
"Yellow is the perfect color for Em; it will look lovely against her creamy skin, her black hair, and dark eyes. It will make her look like sunshine, the spring kind" (141)
The author uses a very detailed descriptive language. She was able to paint a picture in my head. I cam imagine both girls in a room talking wearing their plain clothes and both thinking on how Em should look in that beautiful yellow dress.
I am really enjoying reading this book. Something new and interesting happens each time you read a new page. My prediction for the next chapters is that Cassia will learn more about Ky and what happened in his past and his family. Also I think that Ky will continue teaching Cassia how to write and then she will become an expert and we will rewrite the poems that she burned because now she regrets it.
