As another dream less sleep went by, I woke up to Newt slowly shaking my arm.

"Wake up, it's time to get ready." He whispered.

I got out of bed and pulled out some clothes. A burgundy tank too with a cream over shirt, brownish green pants and black combat boots.

As we took turns going out into the hallway so the other could get changed, I wondered if i wont have dreams every night like i did when i first got here

As we took turns going out into the hallway so the other could get changed, I wondered if i wont have dreams every night like i did when i first got here.

But why only the first few days?

I was quickly snapped out of my thoughts as Newt finished getting dressed and came out of the room.

We walked downstairs and outside to the kitchen. We quickly ate breakfast and headed over to the gardens.

"Alright, now ya gotta go with Zart." Newt nudged my shoulder. It's sent some shivers down my spine and butterflies in my stomach.

Why did I feel this way? It's just Newt.

"Where would I find him?" I asked trying to shake whatever feeling I was feeling.

"Cornfield." Newt answered picking up a small shovel and digging some weeds up.

I skipped around through the corn, cabbage, tomato, and cucumber patches before arriving at the cornfield. It wasn't as big as you would expect like on a real farm out in the real world, but it was a decent size for a place like this with this many hungry boys to feed.

Once I got in front of the cornfield, I found Zart turning on a hose to water it.

"Hey Zart! So what should I do?" I asked looking at the golden corn in it's bright green shiny husk.

"Anything that needs helpin' with, really." He paused to think for a moment. "Actually, why don't you go and help out Newt? He's probably the best person to show you what to do for things about the Gardens."

"Will do, thanks Zart!" I called walking back overto Newt.

"Hey," I poked his head, his body leaned down still pulling out weeds when he looked at me.

"What?" He asked.

"Zart said for me to follow you and whatever you're doing." I answered.

He leaned onto the wooden supports that the beans were growing on and looked at me.

"Well, alright. Follow me."

He then went on to him showing me how to plant broccoli, harvest corn, and water crops.

After six hours of working Newt asked "Eliza, we need more fertilizer. Could you go get some?"

"Where is it?" I asked wiping sweat off of my forehead. I had taken off the over shirt I had on before and tied it around my waist.
