Glader Woods NEWTMAS

Chapter 5

THOMAS POV:

Newt was pulling me back to where we were having breakfast. I looked at my ankle and saw it was still pretty soar. It should heal. Newt picked me up and sat me at the table again. Newt sat down and started to feed me again. I noticed it was no longer sunrise. The sun was now in the sky. I looked over at Minho. I wonder how he is doing. Is he okay with becoming a glader? Minho sat down with a plate of food and sat next to the boy who turned him. They seem to be talking but I can't understand. Minho sniffed the boy and blushed. The boy kissed Minho on the lips and they started eating. I guess Minho is okay with all this. I kept eating my breakfast. I guess I was wrong though. All the gladers ate the same way as people. They can open their mouths but if that is the case then what was the point of the string? If it was so they can't talk then why not just remove the voice box? Wait never mind, that sounds like more work and is very painful.

You can't exactly put numbing gel around your voice box. It would make more sense to remove the voice box but I like the sewing the mouth shut better. It's less creepy and stuff. I finished the good food and Newt gave me a sip of my milk. Almond milk, I knew it. I don't mind it though. I'm not allergic and it's not terrible. I finished the milk and Newt scooped up some carrots on a spoon. I am not eating carrots. They are gross and I'm not a shucking five year old. By that I mean Newt can't use the you need to eat them so you grow big and strong. Newt bought the spoon up to my mouth. I didn't open it. I'm not eating something that taste like trash to me. Not that I have tasted trash. Newt put the spoon against my lips. I tried very hard to keep them shut as Newt tried to push the spoon in my mouth. Newt put the spoon down and turned to Minho. Minho looked at us. What are they talking about. Newt picked up the spoon. He tried to feed it to me again.

Newt shoved the spoon in my mouth as he frowned. The carrots entered my mouth and I made a face. Newt took the spoon out and got another scoop. I spit the carrots out but they landed on Newt. I froze with a fake smile. Newt was not amused. He dropped the spoon on the plate and looked at the cook. I was a little nervous. The cook took the carrots and I was blindfolded. "I'm not eating the carrots Newt. They are disgusting" I said. Newt put his finger over my lips. Another plate was placed in front of me. Newt removed his finger and I heard him cutting something up. I don't know what. Newt put the fork against my mouth. It feels like a pancake piece. Then why am I blindfolded? I didn't move. Newt opened my mouth with his hand and put the fork in. Newt removed his hand and I closed my mouth. Newt took the fork out and I started chewing. It is a pancake with a interesting flavor. It actually taste good. I swallowed and waited for the next piece. Newt took the blindfold off and I saw that there was carrot in the pancake. I signed annoyed as I realized it was just to get me to eat the shucking carrots.
