The silent ones

Living Hell

Thomas's POV
I woke up to the sound of alarms indicating the start of a new day working at the factory. I look around to see my room mate , Chip, still sleeping. I rub my eyes and yawn . I get up and walk to Chip's bed. I shake him lightly waiting for a response. I hear a faint grunt. "Chip" I whisper softly. He opens his eyes and freaks out "WHAT?!" He says as he looks at me and then realizing it was just me. "Oh.. Sorry" He laughs nervously scratching the back of his neck. I shake my head and laugh "Be a little louder next time" I say sarcastically as I head to the little wardrobe containing our uniforms. I open it and grab the first uniform I find. We share a small room with two "beds" wich are really metal tables with blankets set on top. We have a small toilet and sink and only one small wardrobe. The other twin, Christina , shares a room with one of her friends. We live in what resembles a jail with the other "Silent Ones". "Get up and get your uniform" i tell him as I splash my face with water in the sink. When I notice Chip is ready I walk with him to the bath. The bath is a big room with a lot of showers. It's where us prisoners bathe. No, We Don't have separate rooms and no, We Don't have privacy. It's really disgusting but I got used to it. As a child my mother would bathe me in the sink. I was so little and innocent back then...  I walk up to a shower and set my clothes on a little shelf right next to it. Chip was already next to me doing the same as me. We both undress and turn on the showers. In case you're  wondering they separate us by gender. Not ALL of us bathe in the same room.  We arent really uncomfortable seeing eachother naked. We tend to just look away and avoid looking at eachother wich works just fine. "So, ready for another day at the nasty factory?" Chip said frowning. "Yeah.. We must accept it . It's our way of living kid" i say looking at him pitifully. "Don't call me kid!" He says defensively. "Yikes!" I say laughing wich in return makes him even more mad. We finish bathing and grab towels off the shelf. They're mostly dirty or have holes in them but It's the only way to get dry and not freeze to death. We dry up and get dressed. "You ready?" . "Yep" He says smiling . We make our way to the cafeteria and meet up with Christina and her friend. "Hey" I say walking up to them "Hi Thomas " Christina says with a slight blush while smiling. I grin at her and see her blush darkening. I turn to see Chip giving a weird look at Christina . I think she likes me... I laugh at the thought and walk to the line. I hear steps behind me and hear the twin's voices. I grab a few plates and pass some to them. When our turn comes to be served we hold out the plates and our eyes fill with delight at the sight of food. We get served a third part of what the "gifted " do but Atleast It's food. We sit down at a table and eat "Soup again?" Chip says while moving his spoon around in it. I glare at him and he whimpers in return. Christina laughs and I break into a grin. Chip glares at us both. "Yes , soup again. Got a problem with that?" I say in a father-like tone. "N-no" Chip says kinda intimidated. ........ It's true that life here is hard but.. We make the most out of it.
