First chapter critique [1423]

I am very a new writer, this is a YA fantasy.

This story has 3 POVs and this is our first POV from this character. All the reader knows so far from a different POV is that there is a walled city, surrounded by the 'wasting lands'. The people in this city believe there are only savages who live in the wasting lands and no other civilizations. This is the background chapter if you want to read it for context (2231) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z44pBXQWc790eV48ZhEJ61Y9EcIryf0ujC9R0EOkJDY/edit?usp=sharing < also a work in progress.

This is my first time writing fiction, so all and any feedback would be useful.

I am dyslexic so grammar and spelling is an issue for me.

Here is the chapter - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dJp4gtDXn5Fu3FWI7DnuFMBipvNtQTbavjT9lN76Lxs/edit?usp=sharing

Thank you!
