The Last Day.

(just an idea)

Part 1
^^^

"Come on Crescent... We'll be late!" calls Sam from the dark, dingy kitchen. I sit at the small mirror looking deep into my reflection. Blue eyes with small white dots hidden in them, dark brown hair that ripples down my back (its normally in a plait) pale skin, full rosy lips. People say I'm pretty. Why should I believe them?
"Crescent?" repeats Sam several times,
"What? Oh yeah sorry let's go" I get up trying to miss looking at the crescent moon shaped scar on my cheek.
"I'm so hungry! At last we get a bit of grub." smiles Sam, I give him a weak smile back as he runs out of the room.
"Sam! Why don't you go and find Louie, have dinner with him tonight." I call to him from the longing area.
"Ok! See you later Crescent" he shouts back. I stumble back into the kitchen and sit down on the sofa lost in my own thoughts, well at least until they got washed away.
"Ready to party!!!???" laughed a voice from the door way, Peeta strolled in smiling at me,
"It's no party. The council probably want to just tell us something" I shrug standing up to be embraced tightly by Peeta, he's my best friend.
"Ahh don't be such a Hum Bug! It's Christmas, only a two months to go... Better start getting excited"
"Pha! Good luck with that" I laugh winding away from Peeta and picking up my shoulder bag carrying everything I need. My penknife sits snuggly in my pocket along with my pocket watch that's attached to my belt loop.
"Come on. I'm starved" moans Peeta
"Ok come on then Mr Moon" I sigh leading out the apartment and locking the door behind us. The building we all live in is...dull. It's a low building that holds 135 families, the apartments are cramped. The council own us all, we have no say in anything. If we speak our thoughts then we get punished, simple as!
Peeta and I get to the humongous dining room, I instantly search the room for Sam. He's sitting with his friend, Louie, tearing a bit of meat from a chicken leg.
"Come on" says Peeta taking my hand and leading me to a small circle table with a little bit of every type of food placed neatly around it. We sit down, grab a plate and fill it full of our favourite foods. I don't really 'like' food so i just put some bread, butter and a chicken leg on my plate lazily. The table behind us is full of girls in tight clothes that show of their figures. they all giggle and flick their hair at Peeta when he turns around to see what I'm frowning at,
"Hey Peeta!" they chime, Peeta smiles broadly at them winking making them all blush and whisper to each other.
"Ladies!" he smiles turning back towards me, they all sigh and carry on with their gossiping.
" Bet you'd like a piece of them" I whisper winking at Peeta. He smiles and shakes his head a little making his blonde hair shake around his eyes.
"Nope. If I did that I'd be letting you down!" he whispers back.
"How? We're just friends."
"I know but I'm your only friend."
"Shut up." I glare picking at my chicken leg. I can see why girls would like to date Peeta. Blonde hair, puppy dog brown eyes, perfect figure. He's a good looking guy. But to me he's just Peeta Moon, Mr cheer up!
"You look thinner" inspects Peeta eyeing me up and down.
"I haven't been eating lately." I shrug aimlessly,
"Crescent... You'll die if you don't eat"
"Look I'm eating now" I take a mouthful of rich buttered bread and swallow it down with a glass of lemonade.
"Hmm.. Look Crescent, we need to-" begins Peeta but is cut off from someone clearing their throat on stage. We both look up and see the council sitting in a perfect line, each one of them has their right leg crossed over their left, their hands are placed neatly on their laps, they're so alike!
"Welcome! Welcome! Welcome to the annual feast. Today we have given you all a large amount of food and drinks to satisfy yourselves before the monthly announcements!" calls a powdered lady with bright blue hair tied tightly into a bun. Her voice is all girly and squeaky. I just want to shut her up.
"So let's begin!" she does the usual banter about cleanliness and how to help the environment. Normally it ends there but she keeps going.
"People of Z69" (Our camp)
"I have some terrible news to tell. Earlier this week the council discovered something. On the 27th of December this year, there will be a solar storm. Far away from this planet but scientists have figured out that a meteor shower that comes from the storm will make it's way towards Earth. And sadly.... Destroying the earth we live on and everything on it! We are trying to figure out a way to prevent it and will immediately let you know when we have ideas!" she smiles and trots off stage along with the rest of the council members who bow and shuffle after her.
It takes a long time for the news to sink in, only two months until the end of the world...
I look over at Peeta, he's staring straight at me with a worried expression on his face. His hand clumsily find mine, which are cold and shaking, across the busy table and we sit there, shocked, listening to the panic and screaming around us, everyone will want to make the most of life now.
Two more months until we all die.
