Does receiving texts use data?

Hi. I have an IPhone 5C (I use Verizon). I don't have a shared data plan. My family has the plan where each of us get 2GB a month. My question is does receiving texts when you are not on Wi-Fi use data? Because I'm in a group message and they text a lot but I rarely respond but I'm constantly receiving text messages (the blue texts not the green ones) So does this use data?

Should I get a Mac or stick with PC?

Firstly, I'm 13 years old. I've worked with PC laptops/computers for as long as I was born. (I never had a Mac or MacBook). I've wanted a Mac computer/laptop for all my life. I'm obsessed with Apple and recently on an iPhone 6 right now. (it's amazing lol). But anyway, basically I'm a huge Apple fan. The reason why I'm questioning if I should stick with PC is because of gaming. I can literally download and play any game I want on a PC, but on a MacBook, not so much. But that's literally the only reason why I want a PC. I hate the design, I hate Windows 8, and I'm just not a fan of a PC. But I want a MacBook because of the sleek design, the way it's built, the backlit keyboard, the retina display, the trackpad, and it's amazing graphics. The only downfall is that it's not good with gaming. The only games I want to play is Outlast, amnesia, slender man, and the sims. Do you think the MacBook Pro (newest version) can handle all of that? It's just that my mom is offering to buy me a MacBook Pro for Christmas and I don't want to miss out on that chance and regret getting a PC. (Apple products are stupidly expensive) BUT, I also don't want to get a MacBook and not going to be able to play any games. What should I do. Please help, thanks!

BTW: I like to edit and play with photoshopping and I know the MacBook is great with that. So it's not like I'm going to only play games. I like editing too.

Does this sound like my number has been blocked?

It's an ex thing… But anyway, he has an iPhone and I use to text him and it would be blue. And the next day I texted him and it turned green and would never turn blue and my phone wouldn't even pick up iMessage from his side. And now every time I try to text him it's green. Have I been blocked?

IPhone transferring carriers?

Ok, so my friend got an iPhone 5s from the apple store and chose Verizon as her carrier there a couple years ago. She got a new phone and she wants to give it to me. I have tmobile. Will it work? I've read that the 5s is unlocked due to Verizon policy. Also I've heard if you get an iPhone from apple it's unlocked. I've also seen people put a sim card straight in the iPhone 5s and it works. I need advice:/
