New dawn breaking (Charlotte, Aven)

Just as Claire is heading away to the bathroom a loudspeaker announcement tells us to gather in the school assembly hall.
"I wonder what this is all about." I tell the blonde girl next to me, grab her tray and mine and put it away for us before we head to the hall, where a lot of students are already gathered eagerly awaiting what's about to happen.

A little nervous I lean against the back wall when I spot the peace keeper heading onto the small stage with a microphone in hand that our principal usually uses.
"Listen up, students."
Next to him I can see Mr. Worth with an iron expression.
"Like every year district 10 is experiencing a shortage in food supplies and energy. Therefore your school has been picked as one of the public places, which will not be on the rations list this year. From tomorrow on all electricity, gas and food deliveries will be treminated for two months."

A gasp goes through the crowd. Our principal's jaw drops and he start arging with the man, who simply ignores him and leaves.
I overhear Mr. Worth talking to his vie principal on his way out that this can't be true.
Most of us get the only food and well heated rooms at school. If there is no more lunch here some of us will starve.period.
