Becca's P.O.V
I open my eyes and sigh. I have to accept reality, we are stuck here on this island, until someone finds us.
Noah runs up to me. "Hey! I caught a salmon, mussels and clams!" He say, excitedly. The salmon is huge!!! And the mussels and the clams looks edible!
I pull out the matches and started the fire. Noah puts a stick through the salmon to cook it. I put clams and mussels on another stick. After cooking it for about a minute. We eat, it's delicious!
"Wow, this is way better than dried fruits." He exclaims, although I agree, I glare at him.
He raises his hands above his head and mouths surrender.
I roll my eyes, I'm starting to think he's more adorable than cute. Wait, what. Noah is supposed to be irritating! Maybe Noah is actually a really nice?
The sun is probably messing with my head. "Hey, Noah? Thanks for the food. I look for some food around, too." I said, Noah nods.
"Okay, I'll be building the shelter." He replies as I leave.
I go in to the woods.
After looking for about a hour, I head back. I have managed to find 3 coconuts and 2 grapes! I put them in in my bag carefully.
"Becca, I finished the shelter!" He calls as I strolled towards him. The shelter looks sturdy and strong. Somehow it reminds me of home.
"Do you like it?" He asks as he looks at my expression. Overwhelmed by homesickness, I throw my arms around his neck and bury my face in his chest.
He freezes, obviously taken by surprise. He quickly recovers and wraps his arms around me.
I clung onto him and the scent of him. He smells of home, Noah, salt and sweat. I feel his arms tighten around me.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" I babbled, as I returned to my senses.
"Glad to be of service." He replies, saluting. There is a little hurt in his eyes or is it just my imagination? I blush furiously as he winks.
Why did Noah let me hug him like that? He was probably feeling sorry for you. A evil voice in my head said. Before going on this trip, I had my emotions in control and now I am totally messed up.
"Noah? I going to go for a swim." I said, looking away. I pull off my jean shorts and run towards the water. The water calms me and comforts me.
Refreshed I come out of the water, suddenly I feel vulnerable. I feel his eyes on me as I walk towards the shelter. I quickly go through my bag and found a towel. I pull it out and dry myself.
Noah sighs, he gets up and runs to the water. I watch he disappear under the waves. Great, now things between us are awkward. Whose fault was it in the first place. I shove the voice out of my head. I put on my shorts and decided to go on for a walk.
There was something that bugged me, I didn't quite regret hugging him. Was I questioning how I felt about him?

8 336The Kiss of Two Moons
The last year is upon us. The world is ending, but you already knew that; everyone does. Spring has come, and the flowers have bloomed here in this small town with no name. Thousands of different colours now paint the field that had been coloured by frost alone just yesterday. The townsfolk have gathered by the field to celebrate the beginning of the last spring with so many smiling faces. Tears too. I can’t help but wonder whether the flowers will bloom again before the sky falls upon us. Others must be thinking the same. There are moments when the smiles fade and their eyes glaze over as they realize just how near to the end we are. They forget it again in moments. They make themselves forget. The children aren’t like that, though. They don’t seem to understand, or they’ve come to accept it in a way that their parents just can’t manage to. This one boy actually asked me why I was sad. I had to wonder whether he was actually aware that the world is ending, but it seemed wrong to mention it. I ended up just telling him that I was waiting for someone, and he scampered off, wearing a silly smile. I can’t help but feel jealous of him. The beginning of next spring; the day that the world ends. It seems so far away, yet so close. Wherever you are now, I have to ask, how are you spending your last spring? Did you get to see the flowers bloom? Did you smile? Did you cry?
