Andre's POV

Every morning is the same, wake up and go for a run before school. Living in a small town can sometimes be boring but there is one thing that keeps it interesting, The Dome.

As I pass the dome I walk up to it and put my hands on it, on the other side of the dome a girl does the same thing, I guess its kind of like our morning ritual but I don't think she knows I'm there.

She has long, wavy, ombre hair and deep blue eyes that I always get lost in, she always looks like she is burning a hole through my chest, staring into an abyss of nothingness.

'HONK HONK'.

I jump back into reality, "Till tomorrow mystery girl" and continue my morning run.

Astrid's POV

There must be something else out there, we cant be the only humans left on this earth protected by the dome.

Every morning I wake up early to look outside the dome to try and see any sign of life...

I always feel a rush of energy touch my hands when I have them placed on the dome; then after a while, the energies gone. It is like someone or something is passing on the outside but I cant see it.

I eventually leave to get ready for school, my dad will take me on his way to work. He is a member of the government, he told me when I was little that they injected a chip into me so that I would be safe but I don't think he was telling me the whole truth.

Andre's POV

'RING RING'.

The bell rang as I sat down in class. History. Its my favourite class of the day because they teach us about the dome and why its there.

I remember a military man came into our class once to talk about the purpose of the dome, he said that the original inhabitants of the dome where placed there with special chemicals to cure a disease that they had and never got taken out, he told us that they live like a town, a community with a leader and a government and schools for the kids, but I don't think that's the whole story. 

Astrid's POV

If I could just get our of this dome and find something out there then...

"Astrid? Astrid!" Why does she always do that? Wake me up from my day dreams.

'DING DING'.

The bell finally rang and I am out of there, the worst part of my day is school. I don't even know why we have to go I mean its not like we can do anything with our lives other then the jobs they assign us in 5th grade.
