After I saw one of the Runners coming into the Medhut with his shirt almost ripped off and blood coming out of many places, I knew I wouldn't be a Med-Jack.

The plant stuff was alright and small injuries too, but that was not the same for this almost bleeding to death situation.

"How did it happen!?" I asked Jeff and he responded in a whisper.

"I don't know, Runners always have injuries like that, because of the risk of just running around." He whispered a little too loudly and Clint heard it. "Oh and some pretend it was a Griever, but no one lived to tell what it looked like."

"Hey! You're not supposed to talk about the Griever it's just her third day!" He grounded him.

"It's not a big deal, I bet she already knows about it. Ever since I arrived here, all the Greenies have known about the Griever for long enough. Right, Evelyn?"

"Yeah Griever, cool things trying to kill the Runners, that's why I wanna be one!" I responded sarcastically but obviously, Jeff didn't see it.

"Excuse you?! You wanna get killed by a Griever, as a Runner?"

"Jeez, I was kidding, I do want to run with the Runner, it'll allow me not to see y'all shuckface."

I was surprised to be using that expression after my third day here. It must be because I was hearing it from everyone.

"It makes me think of something! Have you written your name yet?" Asked Simon as if I knew what he was talking about.

"What do you mean?"

"We have that wall where everyone writes their name when they arrive. Alby is supposed to do it with the Greenie." He explained better.

"It's to make sure everyone is alive at the end of the day?"

"Well, some of those names are crossed, but it's more to leave a trace of us or... I don't know man." Replied Clint.

"Well, I haven't done it yet."

"You should go ask him, tell him we told you to write your name." Added Simon.

"What is that even supposed to mean?" Said Simon looking at him weirdly.

"Go ask Alby." Shortened Clint for all of us comprehension.

"Fine, I will."

༄༄༄

The end of the day arrived quickly and I did as the boys requested. I didn't even need to find him since he was already looking for me.

"Evelyn I heard we were both looking for each other, what did you want to tell me?" He asked as he started walking next to me in the Glade.

"Simon told me you were making the new one writing their names and I thought I could write mine."

"Oh yeah you should, I forgot about that." He said as if it were the least of his problems.

"You forgot? You mean you wouldn't have made me write it if I hadn't reminded you?"

"No, well, I would have realized one day or another."

I stared at him, annoyed at the one supposed to be our leader. That was a great way to make us feel welcomed.

"Alright come with me, I'm gonna show you where to write."

He took a knife out of his pocket, since he was bringing them everywhere, and guided me to the Maze entrance.

"We're going inside?" I asked and without noticing, there was a smile on my face.
