"You are not me. I am not you. Just because you failed doesn't mean I will too. Doesn't matter does it? You said the only way I'll get in the maze is if its voted on or if I run in there myself. There are only three girls here, I hardly think that any of you want to lose one, though I'd love to see you try to stop me." I muttered. "If I have to talk to the other runners then fine. I can't ask you to help me then I'll go to someone else."
Newt walked over with some food, handing it to me. "How are you feeling? Any better? Gally's not to keen on you, even though he shouldn't have tried to help you with you coming up so quickly."
I looked at him and sighed, ignoring Minho. I didn't like him. He couldn't tell me what I could or couldn't do.
"If you're up to it, I'll take you on a tour. Or Minho could if you want. I'm probably going to need to go over everything with Alby." He said softly, looking at me with a smile. "This is new to us, as new as it is to you."
"I want to be a runner." I said immediately, looking at him surely.
Newt shrugged uncertainly. "Well, we'll need to give you jobs should you want them, but only after you've settled in. Runners need to not only be approved by Alby, the others, and myself, but also Minho. He is the head runner. If you want to we can consider you but not for a while. We need to make sure you qualify first. Eat up, then Minho can take you on a tour if you don't want to wait for me."
I looked at Minho uncertainly. I didn't like him trying to tell me what I could or couldn't do. However if he was in charge of it I would need to be nicer to him regardless.
