As I reached the Homestead, everyone else was leaving.
"Minho!" I called to the Keeper of the Runners.
"Hey Shank, what's up?" I took a deep breath and tried to collect my thoughts.
"I want you to train me." I finally spit out.
"Come again?" His wide grin fades.
"I can't just stand by and let all this klunk happen, I want to help. Train me. I'm not asking to be a Runner, I'm simply asking for you to help me get stronger." He studys my face, as if searching for a sign that I was joking.
"Alright fine, tomorrow morning we start combat training, if you do well, good for you, but if you do great you may become a Runner." He didn't smile, but I couldn't help myself. A huge grin spread across my face as I pulled him into a hug and thanked him.
"Just don't tell anyone." He adds before walking off. I nod and run off to Chuck and the others.

That night I could hardly sleep, I was so excited. Minho woke me early and we headed off to the far side of the Glade to make sure we didn't disturb anyone. We started with basic sit-ups, push-ups and punching exercises. I had no idea if I was doing good or bad, because Minhos expression kept changing from impressed to disappointed every 5 minutes. When the other Gladers began waking up, we moved into the Deadheads, where I did pull-ups on branches and climbed trees.

An hour or so later, Minho spotted Thomas heading our way and we had to hide up in a tree. He vanished from our sight and we started to climb down.

Then we heard screams coming from the direction Thomas walked in.
