"Well, it's time to see which job you might be good at, greenie." Nick's voice just barely above a whisper, as to not wake any of the other boys.
It was very early and Nick had woken me and the new kid up to try out different samples of each job.
"First, we start with track how. Seeing as you look the part to sitting in dirt and scattering fertilizer around." Nicks motioned the boy to follow me into the soft dirt of the paddy we grow food in.
He seemed to be good at it. And I smiled, at least he would be with me.
But then it was Med Jack, slicer, cook, bricknick, builder, and all the rest when finally it came down to runner.
"Alright greenie, I saw you wanted to run from the moment you came out of that damned box, just like y/n here." He motioned over to me,
"So let's see if you have what it takes to be a runner. You will run with y/n, 3 laps around the glade. If you can remotely keep up with her, even if you fall behind a couple yards, we will take it into consideration."
Taking in the information the boy nodded and his head snapped over when he saw me stretching out of the corner of his eye.
"Ready greenie?" I made a silly face and got into a stance, he awkwardly tried to copy me.
"Ready? Go!" Nick raised his voice slightly and I took off, the boy could be heard pattering behind me. Poor kid, he won't last even one lap.

After I was halfway through my third lap, I could see I was approaching behind the boy again, heaving his lungs out. Poor kid, I knew he wouldn't do good.
I passed him, looking with a sorry face, and finished my running. Shaming my head at Nick.
"Just come back greenie, runner is out of the question." Nick had called out. And the boy, who looks like he is about to pass out, sprints the last distance and collapsed into a sitting position next to me.
"Well sorry, greenie, but you're definitely not a runner. We will let you know soon, what you got."
The boy nodded and his eyes lit up,
"My name is Preston!"
I laughed,
"All ya needed was a good run eh?

Thank you guys for reading!
