sister of the keeper of the runners

what's a runner?

"C'mon Cali I'm going to give you the tour" Newt says.

"Alright" i say running towards him.

"Bloody hell"

"What?" I ask.

"How do you run in those?"

"It's a talent"

He laughs.

"So there are many jobs. Runners, track-hoes, builders, med-jacks, sloppers, cooks, and slicers" Newt says.

"Oh what's a runner?"

"Asking for a death wish already greenie?"

"Yeah" i say with a smirk.

He scoffs.

"What?"

"That smirk. Just like Minho's"

I laugh.

"But seriously what's a runner?"I ask.

"They are people who run the maze trying to find a way out"

"Wait. That's a maze?" I ask pointing to the huge gap in between the walls.

He nods.

"I'm a runner, Thomas is a runner, and Minho's keeper of the runners"

"Of course he is" I scoff.

After the tour it's dinner so i head to a table where Thomas, Newt, and Minho are.

"Minho?" i ask

"What Cal"he responds

"I want to be a runner"

"Sure"

"What?"Newt says,"I didn't think you would let her become a runner"

"And why is that Newt?" Minho asks.

"Because you are her brother. I would think you would not want her getting hurt"

"Of course i don't want Cali to get hurt. But there are perks of being her brother. I know things. Watch. You up for a race Cal?" Minho says.

"Sure"

We walk out to the grass.

"Ok to the tree and back. I'll be the starter and i'll point out who won" Thomas says.

"Just to the tree?" I ask,"Why not to the wall"

"Uh sure ok"Thomas says.

I smile with satisfaction and get in starting position next to Minho.

"Sure you can beat me greenie?" Minho asks.

"Shuck yeah"I say.

"Take your mark" Thomas says, "GO".

I take off sprinting.

I beat Minho to the wall. But on the way back he beats me by a couple steps. I am glad i changed my shoes into running shoes. I would of lost by miles.

"See you still got it" Minho says.

"Sure do" I respond.

"Wow Cali, I'm sorry i ever underestimated you" Newt says.

"It's ok Newty Patootie" I say patting Newt on the head.

Thomas, Minho, and Newt burst out laughing.

"How are you guys not out of breath?" Thomas asks.

"We ran all the time together" Minho responds.
