I work on the drawing of the 'snake' for the next hour. And once I had finished drawing, I added dimensions and labels.

"Hey Newt!" calls one of the other Runners.

"Yeah?" I reply.

"What's the deal with you and Marcus?" the same boy asks.

"What are you on about?" I ask, turning to face the speaking, Runner.

"Well," He walks over. "I mean you chanks seem to be close."

"Yeah, well that's what friends do." I turn back to my drawing.

"Friends?" The other Runner scoffs.

"Listen, I don't even know your name, and I'd appreciate It if you stayed with your own business."

"Protective." The Runner says.

"Whatever." I grab my drawing and head out of the Map Room to find Minho.

After a few minutes, I find the Keeper of the Runners talking with Ably.

"Hey, Minho." I call and the two turn towards me. "I finished the drawing."

I hand over the piece of map paper. The other two Gladers look at it for a while then look at me.

"Okay." Minho starts. "You should get some sleep and we'll talk with the other Runners in the morning."

"Okay."
