The boy smiled at his mom as she gave him a small bucket from the counter, looking at him sternly she spoke. "Now you must be back for dinner, so before the sun hits the water, ok?" Caspian nodded, he'd be good for for his mom she already had Maisie and Paige to deal with and she didn't need another thing to worry about. He hugged his mother and quickly went out the back door. Walking down the steps he smiled as he walked through their small backyard; his father and brother were out at the shop. Caspian loved being at the shop but today dad told him to take a break, which he didn't think he needed. He didn't even feel tired for crying out loud!
His mother told him to go out and do something, he had been inside all day reading and  he needed to get out. He didn't mind going out cause he liked looking for shells and building  fortresses. Now he doesn't build "castles" he prefers to call them fortresses because his brother teases him and calls building castles girly and Caspian isn't girly. He jumped down a few rocks, being careful not to slip. A big grin came to his face as he hit the sand.

Caspian wore a blue shirt with orange stripes and a pair of trouser shorts, his bronze red hair was short and neat because his mother made it neat. His greeny blue eyes scanned the beach for his spot. He had a spot he liked to sit at when he came to the small beach. It was shady there and not many people noticed him over there ether. For 8 years old Caspian was quite short and still seemed to have a bit of baby fat, which got on his nerves cause everyone made fun of him in class.

He walked over to his spot and sat down, breathing deeply, he took in there salty sea air. He smiled again, it was so peaceful and no one was here to bother him or make fun of him. He kicked off his sandals and walked towards the water, only going up to his knees in the water because his father told him not to go any deeper if he or his mother wasn't there. He giggled as he picked up a hermit crab, wishing it would out grow its shell, the shell it wore was very pretty. Heput it back down and continued to look.
By the end of it he was very proud of himself, he had found a pretty blue one and a shiny grey one he really liked. He had others they just weren't his favourite, walking to his spot he sat down and spread out all his shells and started to count them.

Sefora O'sett                                          District 4
                                                                         15 - Female

The little girl sits in a chair facing a window. Her mother works away happily, humming while she carefully pulls Sefora's hair into pigtails, tying them up with pink polka doted bows. Sefora swings her legs back and forth in the air. Watching impatiently out the window, she couldn't wait to run outside, out the door and toward the ocean. "Sefora, you should stop fidgeting. It's not ladylike and will just make this take longer." Her mother scolded. Sefora sighed and sat up as straight as she could and crossed her legs, forcing them to stop swinging. She couldn't wait to leave, she eyed her sandals by the door, pavement was hot on bare feet.

"There, I'm all done. Now you can leave, but you must be home before supper. So you should be back before the sun sinks below the houses." Sefora's mother told her, releasing her hair and starting to pull the chair back toward the table. Sefora leaped down from the chair, ran towards the door and slipped on her sandals. She opened the door with both hands, since it was a little big for her, then she stepped outside. A few seconds later she popped her head back in, "Bye Mom!" She said then closed the door and hopped down the steps.

Sefora took off running as soon as she hit the street. Her pigtails and rose pink sundress flew out behind her as she raced with herself, running through the neighborhood, turning corners and heading to her favorite beach. It was one she had recently discovered, with perfect blue waters and soft sand. It also wasn't very popular, so it wasn't crowded. Though, it was quite far away from her house.

Sefora sprinted all the way there. By the time she reached it she was out of breath and panting, but when she looked up and saw the sparkling water in front of her she quickly forgot about it. With a wide grin she removed her shoes and crawled up onto the rocks on the edge of the sandy part of the beach. Dancing and leaping around on them for a little while she then jumped off the stones and onto the sand. She hopped back and forth between her feet for a short time, before burying her feet further into the sand where it was cooler. She let out a soft giggle, then she pulled herself out of the sand that came up to her ankles and started heading toward the water. She saw a reddish haired boy, about her age, sitting by the beach with shells lined up neatly in front of him.

Sefora walked up to him, she was pretty sure shed seen him in school before. "Hi," She said tapping him lightly on the back, "Your... Caspian, right?" She asked it as a question though she was almost certain she was right, names were her thing. She leaned over his shoulder, "What are you doing?" She asked, referring to the shells.

Caspian had many shells and rocks and his first goal was to count them all, he was very good with numbers so he enjoyed it. His brother always teased him and would tell him to shut up about numbers and that was the reason no body liked him. Caspian choose to ignore that comment from his brother, Caspian didn't understand why no one liked him. He knew he didn't talk much and was shy around people but he was socially awkward around people too and even more around girls. He just got into a mess, stuttering and staring and well just making a fool out of himself. So he chooses to stay away from them, it was a logical explanation and the other boys seemed to leave him alone a bit more when he kept to himself. He tried to build up the courage a few times to stand up to them like his brother had said, his brother told him to punch them in the throat and his mother scolded James and told him violence wasn't the answer. Caspian agreed, he wasn't into violence it was scary.

Caspian started counting the shells and then he counted the rocks. Grabbing a stick he drew the numbers into the sand and started adding them. He jumped as someone touched his back, turning around he glared thinking it was his brother but then notice it was a girl. A girl from his class he thinks, she asked if his name was Caspian and he quickly nodded. "Um....." he rubbed his neck and looked at his shells. "I-I'm c-counting." he stuttered and stared at her.
