THOMAS POV:

"Who are you" I asked. The girls looked as if they were communicating. Are they gladers? I guess it would be stupid to have where only boys can become gladers. I would also envy the girls. Because if they couldn't become gladers then they wouldn't have to worry about these shucking woods. I think. The girls looked at me. One stepped forward and started inspecting the cast and sling. I got a little nervous. The girl turned back to the others. They all looked back at me. The door was kicked down and the boys entered. I was a little relieved. They started to argue with the girls. Newt picked me up and we left. I noticed the woods looked different. There was black roses and dead flowers. I was confused. Newt carried me to a fence with a gate. There was a sign. It said beyond this fence is the boys property. No crossing unless necessary. What would be considered necessary? Newt carried me back to the boy's side. Do we really need sides? Like what is the big deal? They are girls and we are boys. Who gives a klunk.

I guess they might of had a huge fight back then or something. Either way it's not like I can ask. Newt sat me under a tree by the trunk. The boys came back and the gladers started talking. I know it's about me. I looked at the floor sadly. They might just not be happy I'm still human. I would become a glader though. I just don't know if it would heal my body right away. I signed and leaned against Newt. He hugged me and started to cry a little. "It's okay Newt. I don't know what you all said but I know it will be okay" I said. Newt kissed my head and I closed my eyes. I would hold him back but I can't with two injured arms. I heard everyone else leave. I felt Newt hold me a little tighter. I opened my eyes and saw he is frowning. I looked and saw a girl. She crossed her arms and stared at us. The girl walked back to her side. Newt picked me up and carried me to the hammock I was on. There was the gladers and girl gladers. I was a little scared.

Newt sat me on the hammock and walked up to a girl. She was stirring something in a cup. She finished and gave the glass to Newt. Newt walked up to me and brought the glass to my lips. I was kinda nervous. I slowly drinked the juice. I have no idea what it is. It taste like cherries. I finished the juice and Newt handed the glass back to the girls. Newt laid me down and covered me back up. "What was that drink" I asked. I started to feel tired. Newt kissed my forehead and put his hand on my cheek. He rubbed his thumb on my cheek with a small smile. I closed my eyes and fell asleep. I felt Newt place something in my hand before I was out. I woke up and saw it was sunset. I yawned and looked around. The gladers were still working and I didn't see the girls. Their side of the woods is actually called glader garden. I still don't see why they can't just live together. I looked at my hand and saw a necklace. I smiled. It was black string with a silver tub. I put the necklace on and laid there. I don't want to try sitting up. I might fall again.
