Two Worlds

Chapter 1

Okay, so I didn't really proofread this before publishing it since I've already written down the story. Sorry if there are grammatical errors or something. I've planned a lot of ideas so sorry if it's a little boring at first.

....................................................................................................................................................................... Cecilia:   I breathed in, the air, just for a while it would be fresh, and then we would go back in underground. I didn’t understand why we couldn’t live outside. The air was clean; the land was beautiful, it was so much better than the world we had to deal with. In there the air was polluted, the sky stayed a murky brown, and there were over a billion people there. All the people still living from earth, were there. People from places like Azores were all gone too. So why couldn’t we live outside? Why did we live underground, where there was a false sky, fake, dry grass; I didn’t get it. I asked Mama many times, as a researcher, she would know. But each time she said, “Cecilia, let’s be grateful for what we have.” And I would have to obediently sit down and shut up. I just didn’t get it.

Kat:  “OMG! That is like, totally made for me!” I squeal. Shopping with Tiffany was so fun, she had all the money, and I didn’t have to pay a cent. Tiffany swiped out a credit card and smiled.

“Want it?”

“DUH! Omigosh, it is so cute! Who wouldn’t?”  I squeal out again. We coursed through the large, wonderful mall, and I found like, a hundred adorable things, and they all became mine. I loved life!

My only problem was school. Unlike other planets, we didn’t have to learn anything. Money isn’t really earned or real. We just have our own swipe card when we turn sixteen. The swipe card is basically paying and it’s on our record what you buy. Use the swipe card, and it’s yours; which believe me, it’s so much easier then Earth. Earth is the only thing we learn about in school, for history. I bet it isn’t even real. It was supposedly that poor old planet that humans lived in before Zeron was discovered. According to what we learn, Earth had become so poor, terrible, and polluted everyone had to move either underground, or to Zeron. Only stupid people go underground. But it wasn’t even real. I bet it was just something elders made up to give kids something to do (learn-augh) until we became sixteen.

“Kat, check this out!” Tiffany pulled out her swipe card, ready to purchase when a loud speaker crackles overhead.

“Attention all shoppers- Earth is ready to live in, I repeat, Earth has revived once again”

Cecilia:   “Mom! MOM! Look, the newspaper announced that we can live above ground now!” I cry out, racing into our home. It was going to be wonderful. I knew we would someday live up there, where I could breathe fresh air, everyday; and then people could spread out and live with elbow room!

Mom looked up and took the newspaper. It was quite a bother reading the newspaper. Printed on it had to be hundreds of languages and it took forever to find English. Mom easily found it though, since I had marked down the page. She grinned ear to ear. “Cecilia, this is absolutely WONDERFUL!!!” she said, equally excited, she picked me up, and though I have become a lot heavier since I was three, she spun me around two times, just like when I was a kid.

When Dad came home, we all packed our things and got ready to leave. Dad wanted to be the first people to reach the beautiful world; and so did I.
