Inter galactic

Chapter 1

Worst day ever! Firstly on my way to school my dads car ran out of charge, so by the time it was charged I was late to school! Sometimes I wish their was still oil left on our planet.
Then walking on my way to school a boy ran into me on his hover board. And my teacher was really angry at me. How could my day get any worse? At least when I get to school I get to see favourite person on earth...
"Nixie" I hear Zach calling from across the hallway my eyes meet his dark hazel eyes, all his features are dark and dreamy, his hair perfectly gelled in place.
He greets me with a warm hug.
"I have something to ask you" I've always wanted to know how he feels about me, there was always something special about him since we first met.
He replied "is it urgent, because the bell just rang we need to go get our gas masks." I never get the chance to ask him, it's always the wrong time "ok we better go" I agreed unwillingly.
We ran to class and put the gas masks on, they were so bulky and uncomfortable.
I wish the air wasn't so polluted it would be so nice to be able to run around outside without worrying about the dangerous chemicals in our air.
Suddenly the loud speaker crackles to life "can all students please meet in the assembly room immediately!"
"I wonder what that's all about?" Zach asked me with wonder in his eyes.
"I have no idea, but we better go now, it sounds important!" I said.
We walked into the cold room everyone was chatting eagerly about what was happening.
The room fell silent as the principal walked in, he is a very scary man, with his bloodshot eyes and the scar that fell through the left side of his mouth leaving him in a permanent grimace, everyone was scared of him.
He cleared his throat "Students listen up!
We have an extremely important hologram coming through from the president, nobody make a sound or you will be in huge trouble!" Everyone gasped.
A hologram from the president! I don't feel good about this.
The lights flicker off leaving a slight buzzing noise.
The hologram flickered to life! We saw the excited face of our new president "I have great news for you all!" Everyone sighed in relief " we are sending you all to a new universe! So you can start a new healthier life there!"
My jaw hung open " every American left, 18 and under will be sent up the new planet Iathea, you may have heard about it in the news, we have successfully sent 20 humans to this planet. Their are trees their and fresh air to breath, you won't even need to wear gas masks! A new life for our new generation!"
Everyone in the room was chattering excitedly but I stood on that cold floor frozen, people were rushing around me but all I see were blurred figures. I feel my heart fall out of my chest.
The empty heaving feeling in my chest causing me to fall to the ground. I feel Zacks warm hand on my back; the only thing helping me through the ocean of sadness, it pulls me back to real life.
I see Zacks face and I could tell that he was thinking the same thing as me " Everyone is starting to realise now" Zack told me quietly. I started to see the faces drooping around me as they all realised that they would have to leave their parents forever.
"And your leaving tomorrow morning! I have an important meeting so I have to go I will see all of you at the Washington NASA headquarters at 8 am sharp. And it is compulsory!"
A warm tear drops from my lower eyelid, it runs down my face, down to the corner of my mouth, the salty taste awakening my senses. "You are all dismissed" the principals loud rusty voice called out over the sadness. I heard Zacks smooth angel voice "Let's take you home." I felt his hand wrapped around my side, it feels good there; it feels right, he supports me as we walk to his car. I like his car, I like the smell of the leather, I start feeling better now that it is just me and him, together.
Maybe I will be able to survive this, maybe I will be able to leave my dad, as long as I have Zack. I know it's stupid, feeling so dependant on somebody who's just a friend. Before I over think things his soft angel hand touches mine, his fingers interlace with mine.
My heart feels like it is about to jump out of my chest, even when he looks at me my heart beats like crazy, let alone holding hands with me.
Jees! if I marry this boy I'm going to have a heart attack! He looks at me and smiles his angel smile, then looks back to the highway.
My hands start to feel clammy, why nixie, why! The one time you don't want to get sweaty hands you get them now! I feel like I should let go because of my sweaty palms but then I also don't want to let go, he gives my hand a soft squeeze, that confirms my worries.
We pull into my driveway. Zack hops out of the car and opens my door; he is such a gentleman. Then we walk to the two huge glass doors of my house. "I have to go but I will pick will meet tomorrow, ok?" He hugged me goodbye.
