                                     [RYANN]

After she challenged Gally to a rematch, she decided it was time to go back to her hut. While walking away though, she heard Gally challenge Minho to fight him.

She felt bad for him, but it wasnt something weird to lose to Gally, most people did.

The next morning she woke up late, which she found relaxing as she usually woke up around 5:00 to run the maze.

She peeked through her curtains and was pleasantly surprised. The sun was shining and it didn't seem to be very windy.

She walked over to her closet and put on a pair of sweatpants and a thin longsleeves shirt.

Her hair was a mess, but that was nothing out of the ordinary. She brought her hair up and put it in a high ponytail.

Wednesday were her favourite day of the week. Why? Wednesday is her day off. Only runners get days off simply because they need to rest and recover after running the maze everyday for a week.

She already had her day planned out. First, she would go and eat breakfast, if there was any breakfast left that is. After that she would try and talk with Gally about the broken chairs and speak to Alby about things the runners needed from the box.

She was also planning on stopping by the runners hut and map out the route she ran the day before, since she was too busy being in a bad mood.

She quickly slipped on a pair of sneakers and walked out of the hut.

It was just her and her thoughts when she was walking to the kitchen, when she saw a familiar figure walking about 15 feet ahead of her.

She decided to jog over to say hi. And she might have overheard Ben and Aaron talking about how Gally beat Minho's ass the previous night...

"Hey, Minho."

"Oh, hey." He responded a little startled. Ryann noticed the blackeye on his face and his busted lip.

"Soo, I heard you got your ass beat last night." She teased a little.

"Uh, I guess. I don't wanna talk about it." He said as he looked to the ground and walked a little faster.

"Eh, stop being so grumpy. It's happened to everyone here, or well, almost everyone."

"So, you just came here to brag about how you managed to beat Gally and I didn't?" He stopped to look at her. He tried to keep a pissed off look on his face but Ryann could see the corner of his mouth struggling to stay in a straight line.

She laughed lightly at the sight.

"Mm, maybe. But I was also wondering if you have had any time to think about what job you wanna try first." She said trying to change the subject as she started walking again.

"Uh, I don't know. Most of them seem kind of boring. I've tried asking myself what i like to do but I haven't gotten anywhere with that bc of the whole mind loss thing."

"Eh, yeah it is kind of hard." Ryann said as they walked into the kitchen and got in line.

She grabbed a plate and continued.

"I tried, like, every single job multiple times and still didn't like any of them. It's really hard to choose. Luckily i managed to get a place among the runners." She shrugged and started putting food on her plate.

"Yeah, I guess we'll figure out today what I'm good at." Minho said and Ryann flashed him a quick smile before walking off to the table Ben was at.

She took a seat next to Chris, and saw Ben wave Minho over to come sit with them.

She felt a little bad that she didn't invite him to sit with them before she walked away, but she didn't want anyone to misstake her friendliness for something else.

It was hard for her to let anyone get to close. As the only girl in the Glade, people often whistled at her when she was talking or laughing with one of the guys.

It annoyed her that she couldn't have any close friends without people assuming things. Especially since both Ben and Newt were like her brothers.

After breakfast, Ryann went looking for Gally. Unfortunately, he was nowhere to be found, so she decided to take care of her other task.

As the keeper of the runners, it was her responsibility to make sure all the gear and other necessities were available.

She had been very busy the last few days, and didn't notice they were running out of multiple things until Ben let her know.

Approaching Albys hut, she fished the list of things they needed out of her pocket.

After knocking a few times Alby let her know it was okay to come in. They talked a little, she gave him the list and left.

Yet again, she was on a hunt for Gally. Though, she didn't need to look for long. Gally came running up to her with a white fluffy thing stuck to his leg.

"Shucking hell Ryann, I've been looking everywhere for you!" He exclaimed.

"So i have I actually." She told him and peaked down on his leg.

"You need to get this thing of yours off my leg right now!" He said and pointed to, what Ryann had figured out was, Marshmallow.

She was about to help him when she saw a perfect opportunity appear.

"Hmm, I will help you. On one condition."

"Come on Ryann! It's scratching my leg and it hurts like hell!"

"You have to get started on building 15 new chairs for the kitchen so no one has so sit on the floor anymore." She said with a pleased look.

"Fine, whatever. Just get this thing off me."

She calmly picked Marsh up and he immediately let go of Gally's leg. She brought her hand forward and Gally shook it.

"Great to make business with you." She smiled and headed to the runners hut.
