*Hey guys I have no clue what to name this chapter so please comment your suggestions based on the chapter. The best will be chosen and used.*

Minho shifting broke me out of my train of thought. I could see his lips moving but wasn't listening.

"Lani?" He asked shaking my shoulder.

"Huh? What's up?" I said shaking my head to clear my thoughts.

"We should go get some food. It's probably all gone but there should be some snacks." He said standing up. He brushed the dirt off of his pants and I saw his muscles flex under his baby blue button down shirt.

"Yeah I'm a little hungry." I said and right on cue my stomach growled.

We walked through the dead heads. As we walk out of the deadheads Minho and I are met with a group of boys. There was Thomas, Chuck, Alby, and Newt. All of them even Alby had smirks on their faces, their eyes darting between Minho and I.

"What?" I ask.

"Oh nothing. It's just that you two were in there for a bloody long time." Newt said. His eyes mostly rested in me.

"We just were talking." Minho said giving them all a death glare.

"Sure...talking." Chuck said. His cheeks got really red and looked in between Minho and I moving his eyebrows up and down.

"I just wanted to tell him I didn't want to be a runner. I love it and all but no. I want to be able to help people everyday and that's why I want to be a med-jack." I say. I put my hands in my pockets and looked at everybody's faces. Chuck and Alby seemed to believe me but Newt and Thomas saw right through my lie. I turned to look at Minho and his face almost made me bust out laughing. He looked so surprised but also hurt. Was he hurt that I didn't want to be a runner? Sorry hun but I'm not about to risk my life like that.

"Well you should go get some food." Newt said putting his hand on my upper back pushing me to the Homestead. I looked back at Minho who was being interrogated by Thomas and Chuck. He looked at me with the look of "please get me out of this" and I laughed.

"What?" Newt asked.

"Oh I'm just laughing at Minho. He was the one who really wanted some food but now he is stuck talking to Thomas and Chuck." I said. Newt laughed and we continued into the Homestead.

Newt got me some food while I held a table for me and the guys, whenever they get done talking by the deadheads.

Half and hour passed and both Newt and I had finished eating and were waiting for the guys to come. Newt began yawning and I laughed at him.

"Awww. You look like a little tired baby! You should go get some rest." I said looking at the pitifully tire older boy.

"I'm not a baby! I'm a manly man." He said his face getting red.

"Ok whatever you say Mr. Baby." I said laughing. He looked at me dead in the eyes like he was going to hurdle the table and kill me but then he laughed.

"See you're going hysterical. You need to sleep." I said.

"Fine. Do you want me to walk you to your room?" He asks getting up.

"No I think I'll wait for Minho." I say leaning my elbows on the table.

"Ok. Let me know if you need anything." Newt says. He starts walking off but I stop him.

"Hey can you tell me the time real quick?" I ask. He looks at his watch that only important Gladers get.

"It's 9:45"

"OK thanks."

I wait for a few minutes but I don't remember anything after that because I fell into a blissful sleep.

"LANI!" Someone was shaking my shoulder. I groaned as I lifted my head off of the table and stretched my back making it pop in a few places. I looked around and once my eyes focused I saw Frypan leaning over me.

"Oh hey Frypan." I said still groggy.

"Lani what are you doing here? It's before wakeup. You should be in your room sleeping. Why are you here? Did some shuck face shank leave you here? If so who, I will hurt someone who messes with my friend." Frypan showered me with questions.

"No. Well sort of but it's honestly no big deal. I was waiting for Minho to come get food since we missed dinner but he never came. I waited but I guess I fell asleep." Frypan looked at me sympathetically.

"Hey just go to bed. You were supposed to be working with me today for the last day of your trials but I'll let you be late since you are up so early." Frypan said.

"Oh thank you so much!" I said. I ran straight up the stairs.

Once I got to Minho's room I looked in the slightly ajar room to see if he was sleeping.

"Minho?" I whispered. I peered through the room to find no Minho. Where could he be? Just at that second drowsiness fell over me. I walked over to the bed and laid down. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out like a lightbulb.

"Hey Lani." Arms wrapped around my body picking me off of the bed I was on. Someone was picking me off of the bed and carrying me somewhere. At this point I didn't care who it was carrying me so I nuzzled my head into his chest. I heard a shaky exhale and smirked a little. Who ever was carrying me was nervous. Haha me make someone nervous?

I opened my eyes to see that I was in my room. I was on my bed and covered by a blanket. I turned over to see Minho in the doorway.

"Dear God Minho! Don't do that!! I am highly confused at the moment and I don't need you scaring me too." I said jumping out of my bed to put on my shoes.

"You would think that you would show more appreciation for the person who saved you from the Maze." He said winking at me.

"I would if I was actually saved, but I wasn't because I left of my own accord." I said walking past him and into the hallway slightly swinging my hips. I will enjoy having him run after me. Just for a little while. I saw Minho run past me and then to the Map room. I walked down the stairs to the kitchen to get some food and saw everyone in there staring at me.

I got my food from Frypan and sat next to Newt and Alby.

"Hey Lani, you're up a little late." Alby said.

"Well I slept in after I woke up early in here after waiting for you guys in here last night. But Frypan let me sleep in." I said as I downed my food.

"Well anyway, you are only going to work with him for half of the day so that we can decide your job tonight when the Runners get back." Alby said. I nodded and continued eating. Once I finished I got up and went into the kitchen to begin helping Frypan. I washed dishes and had lots of fun helping him cook. Before I knew it I was done and sitting out side with Chuck.

"So what's up with you and Minho?" Chuck asked nudging my arm.

"Nothing. We're just friends." I say looking out towards the Maze doors.

"Sure, that's not what Thomas thinks. And Minho said he likes you." Chuck whispered.

"Well then that's just it. A suspicion from Thomas and a confession from Minho. I don't know how I feel quite yet but I assure you there is nothing between Minho and I." I say firmly.

"Fine. Oh here comes the Runners so you should be ready to find out your job." Chuck says pointing to Minho running into the Glade. He glances at me and smiles. I drop my head and blush
