Life As It Was

The gang of the Upper East Side has led a charmed life, until a meteor hits the moon knocking it off its axis, causing catastrophic floods, volcanoes, and earthquakes. How will the gang deal with the changes that are happening everywhere?

This story is based on the books by Susan Beth Pfeffer called "Life As We Knew It" and "The Dead and The Gone." If you haven't read them, please do so. You won't find any book that's message about family and perseverance in tough times will stick with you long after you've finished the book. This story is going to be an alternate reality story but I think that I can try to be faithful to both the book and the TV show. i also don't own anything related to Gossip Girl at all. (I didn't say that in the first chapter.)

Today has been a crappy day. I gave Ms. Carr the letter that I wrote to her. I think that she's going to give me a tough final in Shakespeare. Whatever, it doesn't intimidate me. Jenny that freaky religious girl harassed me today. She said something about a moon event. A meteor is going to pass by the moon on may 19th. I ignored her and kept on walking, I was meeting Serena & Chuck for lunch. Even then, people were still talking about it! Some people were saying that meteor was going to crash into moon, some saying that it was a hoax and that it wasn't going to happen. Thank god, Chuck & Serena were with me, or I would go crazy. Serena & Chuck have bonded as brother and sister since his dad died, and the whole Uncle Jack fiasco. Chuck & I have grown as a couple also. We're inseparable. We tried not to think about the moon thing, but it was hard not to.

"Do you really think that this moon thing really will happen?" Serena asked.

"I don't think so." Chuck said to quell Serena's fears. "You know how people like to over-hype things."

"I agree with Chuck, this might be a small thing." I said to calm myself down, too. I mean, it could be much more worse than everyone is saying, or it could nothing at all.

But right now, all I'm worried about is the prom, I still have to get a pedicure, manicure, and I also need to get my hair done, too. I'm not worrying about this moon thing, I've got a life to live, you know.

Sorry, I haven't written in the past two days, I've been studying for finals, and I was right, Ms. Carr is giving me a tough exam, although the rest of the practice exams were easy. Everyone was still talking about the moon and the meteor that was going to pass by it. I don't understand why people are making a big deal out of it. Everyone I've talked to wants to have a party to celebrate it, which is great , I love parties. Maybe, I'll talk to mom or Cyrus to see if I can have one. I made an appointment to get my hair done at the Red Door salon. I'm well known there, so I didn't even need to tell my name at all. I got to go, Serena called me about a Louis Vuitton trunk sale.

I had a weird day today, school was okay, Jenny wasn't there. I guess its some religious holiday or something. Anyway, after school, I ran into Dan, who looks he hasn't slept for days told me that his sister had some bad feelings about this moon thing, and the reason why she wasn't in school was that her prayer group was having an all-day prayer deal. I wonder what they're praying about; that the meteor will hit the moon and cause an end to decadent and sinful lives? Or they could praying for the opposite, also. I don't know really. Oh, yesterday, I got some cool stuff at Louis Vuitton trunk sale yesterday. Everyone was so jealous at school. I got two handbags, a wallet, some scarfs. I wore my new monogram shawl with my Constance uniform, and everyone was so jealous! Well, what can I say, I love being the queen!

This might be the last entry I might make for the next few days. I don't really have anything new, other than Jenny and her religious friends are saying that the meteor event is going to be worse than what people are really saying, and that we should repent for our sins. Whatever, I don't have anything I need to repent for. I'm going to have a GREAT time at the prom with the gang. I love my life.
