Hadley Griffon

I have always been curious about Jonas. He's an alert, smart, quiet boy. As I was watching the person who was giving the assignments, I realized that it would be  Jonas's turn soon. I felt a rush of anticipation, and I hoped that he would like his assignment. Questions bubbled in my head. How would Jonas respond to his assignment? Would he like it? What would it be? Would he trip and fall as he went to the center of the stage? Calm down Hadley, calm down. I didn't even know WHY I felt a spark for this boy. I just knew that something about him was different. Unusual. All off these thoughts rushed inside of me. Then all of a sudden I realized it was Jonas's turn. I straightened my posture and neatly folded my hands in my lap. But the Assignment Giver kept walking. Shock, anger, confusion, worry-I didn't know WHAT to think. As the ongoing assignments were given, more and more and more questions threatened to drown me. People all around me were having the same reactions as I was. The Assignment giver NEVER made a mistake. Especially not when it was the most important ceremony! Before I knew it, every Eleven had been given an assignment, and all of them were smiling and happy. All except Jonas. With the look that was on his face, Jonas looked like he had committed a crime that deserved releasing! Then, something amazing happened. The Assignment giver had walked back to Jonas, and gave an apology speech-about the confusion and skipping Jonas and his assignment. I think I might've blacked out for a minute or two, because the next words I heard were "Jonas, you were assigned The Receiver of Memory". Complete silence. Everyone was open-mouthed, and staring. Jonas was given the most important assignment. And rarest given.
