"Wake up, Greenie. Time for your tour" Minho shakes me awake.

"Why so early?" I ask still half asleep.

"Because, so get up and I'll leave you to get dressed" He walks out.

I start to get change into grey cargo pants and another white top. I go to the mirror and brush my hair. It's long enough, it's a dark brown color. I hear a knock on the door. "You ready yet?" Minho impatiently asks.

"Yeah, I am" and I walk out. We both go down the stairs and Newt is at the bottom. "Minho, your going back to doing your running again tomorrow, okay? Skyler, tomorrow you're going to start working in the slicers"

"The slicers? As in where they cut the meat? No thanks, maybe somewhere less... Bloody?" I whine

"Okay then, in that case you can start with the gardens" he smiles and walks past us up the stairs.

"What's a runner?" I ask Minho.

"A person who runs around the maze, looking for a way out" He says, grabbing a drink and running outside.

I jog to catch up with him."See these doors? Well they close every night and open every morning. Thats when the runners leave, and then run the maze" he explains

"What happens if you don't make it back before the doors close?" Maybe they would just have to sleep in the maze and get back in the morning?

"You die. See in that shucking maze there are things called grievers, and no one, I'm mean no one has came back to tell the tail of what one looks like. One of WICKEDS creations. Newt and Alby just thinks there the people who supply us, but I don't. I just have a feeling about it" He turns to look at me.

So the people who put us here put us in a maze, filled with these killing machines called grievers. Why would someone in their right mind do such a think?

Then he brings me on top of a small tree house sort of thing. He explains how the jobs work and the three main rules:
1. Never harm another Glader.
2. Never go out side the Glade (unless you're a runner)
3. Everyone does their part. No slackers.

By the time when he's done explaining, the sun is in the middle of the sky. Has it been that long? I didn't even get breakfast! I'm starving.

"We better get going" Minho smiles, and grabs me in a big bear hug and plants loads of kisses on my forehead. I try to pull him off of me but I fall and laugh even more, and he starts tickling me. My legs kick everywhere but he hold them down.

When I stop kicking, he stops tickling me, and just stares at me. "You're so shucking beautiful" he finally says. He leans in and kisses me. He lets go of my leg and puts his hands on my hips. When he stops he whispers "I love you"

I can't stop smiling, and I'm pretty sure my heart just came out of chest. "I love you, too" I whisper back. He gets up, putting out his hand for me. When I take his hand, he pulls me up and puts one hand right around my waist and the other still intwined in mine. He starts to kiss me again.

"Skyler, seriously, we need to go, so if you could stop kissing me, that would be great" he jokes.

"Sorry, can't help it" and I wriggle out of his arms and climb back down the ladder.

"Hey! Get back here!" He shouts, chasing me. When I get to the ground, I start to run. I was a fast runner, but Minho was faster and he runs and catches me, Carrying me bridal style. "looks like we have a runner" he winks at me.

"Oh, Minho, don't be jealous just because I'm faster than you" I kiss him again.

When we get to the door of the homestead he lets me down and holds my hand. When we walk in dinner is ready and everyone is sitting waiting. When Newt saw me and Minho holding hands, he started smiling and got up to come over to us.

"Well, hello Minho, Skyler" he says, gesturing to our hands. "So are you two, you know, going out?"

Minho looks at me and was about to say something, but I cut him off.

"Yeah, we are"
