Becca's POV
I happily jog after Gally, who is heading towards the Lookout Post. I figure that's where he goes when he needs time to be alone and think.
"So... can you tell me what the jobs are?" I ask, trying to break through the silence.
He nods. "Okay, so there are eight jobs; Sloppers, who pick up the slop, Builders, we build things, Baggers, they bag the, uh, dead people, Track-Hoe's, they farm, Slicers, they kill the animals for food, Med-Jacks, who are like the doctors, Cooks, and finally the Runners. You have to be able to run, obviously, and you have to have been here a long time. Plus I don't think they'd let a girl in the Maze of some of the guys don't even get too." He says.
I raise my eyebrow and cross my arms.
"Excuse me? Since when does me being a girl have anything to do anything?" I ask, clearly offended.
Gally doesn't miss a beat. "I'm not being sexist or anything, but I don't think they want you in the Maze getting hurt. Besides Greenie, it's your first week here, you wouldn't even get the spot if you wanted it. But never go out into it, especially before the Doors close. No one has ever survived a night in the Maze."
Jeez, way to be nice about it. But I decide to not press him on the whole thing.
"Well, what do you think is be good at Gally?" I ask, wanting his opinion.
We finally reach the Lookout Post and we both climb up, looking over the Glade while talking.
"Well, I think you'd be good as a Builder or a Med-Jack. You just got that look about you that suggests you might Greenie."
I look over at him. "Your the Keeper of the Builders right?" I ask.
He smiles like he's proud of it. "Yes I am. Any more questions Greenie?"
I groan. "Will you stop calling me that?" I ask.
He smirks. "Nope, not for another month."
I elbow him playfully. He elbows me right back, but we're both smiling. I get a warm feeling inside me when he smiles like that...
WAIT, WHAT?!
No, no, no, no. I do NOT like Gally. It's only my second day here, I can't like him! But then... why do I feel so happy right now?
"Save your energy Greenie. We're having a party tonight." He says with a smirk.
I furrow my brows. "Why?" I ask in confusion.
He smirks even wider. "For you."
