Chapter 2 Song: Always Forever - Cults

Newt began showing me around the Glade. As he walked, I noticed he walked with a limp. I won't ask him about it, it could be a sensitive topic. "Alright, I know you have a lot of questions but try to save them for the end, love." That's the second time he's called me that and for some reason it sends shivers down my spine. I just simply reply with a subtle nod. This is gonna be hard trying to refrain myself from asking questions. I'm completely cluelessness of this whole situation.

"Basically," Newt starts as we are walking side by side, "'bout three years ago Alby was sent up alone in the box just like you, no memories. He spent a whole month surviving in the Glade alone until I came, he knows the most about this place and keeps everything in order. That's why he's our leader. Now every month, a new greenie comes up in the box along with some supplies to help us survive." So that's why there was a box and chickens in the box with me.

Newt guided me towards a two story building that was extremally crooked. It looked like if a strong gust of wind would blow the whole structure would come toppling down. "This is the Homestead it's basically the Glade's main building. It's where the Keepers live, where Frypan's kitchen is, where the medjack's hut is located, and where gatherings are held." Newt explains, "Now listen, we all have a job around here, like the medjack's are basically the glade doctors or the closest we'll bloody get to doctors. Tomorrow, we'll discover what job your best at. It's important we all do our job 'round here and don't slack. The Keepers are essentially the one's who are the best at the jobs and kind of the leaders of everyone else working that particular job. Frypan's the keeper of the cooks, anytime you have food on your plate you can thank him. I'll introduce you to him now and I'll get you something to eat." I try to process all this information as fast as possible. "Good that." I respond with his accent, mocking him when he said that earlier today to Alby. Newt laughs for the first time, "I like ya greenie."

We enter the kitchen and it's nothing special. It reminds me of a school lunch cafeteria with benches and tables. My lips curl downwards once I can't remember when I was at a school or even if I was. I'm supposed to be in a school learning right now, not stuck here. "You alright, love," There it is again. "Yeah, just thinking." Was my response. Newt puts his arm over my shoulder while we are walk parallel to each other towards the kitchen area of the cafeteria. "I know it's hard right now, but you'll eventually get used to it" Newt gave me a reassuring smile. I wasn't sure if I would ever get used to this place.

"Hey Fry!" Newt greeted as we we're approaching. "Sup Newt," Frypan said, then turned to me, "I'm Frypan, but you can call my Fry. Greenie, you must be hungry I'll make you a little snack, just don't tell Alby!" Newt's arm was still resting on my shoulder and Frypan gave us a suspicious look, darting his eyes between the two of us, before turning around to prepare me something to eat. At this Newt finally took down his arm while awkwardly scratching his back as a light pink tint began forming on his cheeks. I laughed to myself at this.
