Three- You Going To Speak Yet

[Amelia's POV]

I've been here for about a week now,
And I don't think the gladers know what to think of me.

They all just stare at me,
Part of its probably because I'm the first girl here,
The other part is probably because I haven't spoken a word yet.

Alby gave me the tour a couple days ago,
He told me the rules,
which include,
Do your part,
Never harm another glader,
And never go outside the walls,
But he didn't mention what was outside the walls.

What could be outside those walls that's so terrifying,
I mean Alby lets Newt and Minho go out there every day.
I think to myself.

I guess I could just ask but I don't want to,
I don't want to hear my own voice again,
The first time I heard my voice in that box,
My voice scared me,
It scared me in a way I could never imagine,
And yet I still don't know why it scared me.

I hear footsteps coming from behind me,
I quickly turn around expecting to find someone else,
But its just Newt.

"Hey, Amelia,"
Newt says,
"Um. . . Well you see I. . . Well everybody actually was wondering why you haven't spoken yet?"

I stare up at Newt and just shrug my shoulders.

"Well do you plan on speaking anytime soon?"
Newt asks.

I just shake my head back and forth,
Because there is no way that I am speaking so much as a hello
Anytime soon.

"OK,
"See you later then."
Newt says,
Then he turns around and starts to walk away.

"Oh,
wait I almost forgot to mention,
Tomorrow you start training for a job,
So meet Alby by the gardens around nine"
Newt says.

Yippee,
I think sarcastically,
Job time.
