Her and Minho headed to the door of the hut and pushed it open, she glanced back at Minho with a look of longing but she knew that the moment had gone.
Rose came jogging over, "oh, hey Minho, come on Rachel foods getting served, plus i need to talk to you", Rose grabbed Rachel by the arm.
Rachel turned quickly around and looked at Minho, "see ya later Minho", he smiled and turned to head for the camp fire, where all the other gladers were.
Rose dragged Rachel over to the camp fire but round the other side where they sat on a log to talk in private.
"so hows life then?" Rose asked, "is that all you wanted to ask?" Rose looked hurt, "um, well it's ok i guess, i'm really happy i train with Minho though, he's really something else", Rachel glanced over the handsome figure sat with the other runners, she wished they had longer in the hut though.
"ooohhhh, someone is crushing on their instructor", Rose taunted, "yeah well he's hot i can't help that", the girls laughed together, It was nice to have someone to talk to Rachel thought i mean who else would understand what i'm feeling?
"well i have a confession to, my instructor well more like a guider is Newt", Rose sighed, "and he's super hot" they both laughed again.
"So hows the running going then, not risking your life to much i hope?" Rose sniggered, "well now you mention it we did run into a griever, and guess what, while we we're running for our lives i tripped over and it caught up", Rose looked at Rachel and laughed, "smooth Rachel smooth", Rachel continued "and then Minho grabs my hand to help me up but by that time it's to late, so he asks for my cleaver so i hand it to him and he slashes at the griever and it flees", Rose looked intensively at Rachel then replies, "well at least you didn't die on your first day, also i thought grieves don't come out in the day?".
"yeah, i know their not suppose to", Rachel stared at the floor.
"well i'm hungry and i'm not gonna starve, coming?" Rose holds out a had to Rachel as she stands, "yeah", Rachel takes her hand and they walk over to where Frypan is serving.

Rachel and Rose walk and sit down by newt who is leaning against a log which is facing away towards the glades huge stone walls. "hey Newt, mind if we join you?" Newt turns to see Rose talking, "sure come sit, i need some company".
They sit down next to Newt, and dig into their chicken fry up.
"so how was your first day in the maze?" Newt said turning to Rachel, "well we ran into a griever, but we're still alive so i guess that's what counts", Newt smiled, "that's the spirit.
"Is cutting down trees better for you?", Newt said now addressing Rose, "yeah, if you like hard work and aches", Rose laughed but she knew that all the gladers worked no matter what job they did.
"think yourself lucky you don't work in the slaughter house, i couldn't do that i would puke, i don't get how Winston finds it ok, i really don't" Newt shook his head.
"hey" Minho and Adam came over to join them, Minho sat by Rachel, Rose gave her a little nudge but Rachel just gave her a annoyed glare.
"you know Galie is talking about wanting to fight you", Adam laughed as he spoke to Rachel, "yeah right she would beat him to the ground", Rose laughed as she replied.
"well i just ate" Rachel replied, "plus i have no interest in fighting Galie" Rachel said,
"your just scared"Rose taunted,
"i thought you we're supposed to be backing me up on this!" Rachel glared. "oh yeah" Rose laughed.
"well i'm done for today, i don't get how those shanks who fight still have the energy" Adam laughed.
Then Rachel heard something that drew her attention to the crowed of gladers around the fight.
"Rachel,Rachel,Rachel......" the chant of the gladers from the fight and it was her name.
