Something is gonna happen and it will happen soon Someone else is coming. This will end sooner than you think, but the end will be dreadful.
Its the middle of the day and Raven has been working her butt off. To make up for what she did yesterday she began doing basically every job in the glade just to help out. Sometimes she went back to the clinic part of homestead just to see how things were going. She got to know lots of the boys while working. She laughed and smiled all day. She was actually fitting in and getting used to it. Being one of the guys.
Seeing this made Alby and Newt happy knowing things were getting done. They watched as Raven bossed people around in a fun and happy way. There had been no conflicts between anyone today. The day just went smoothly. The sun was out and the sky was blue. Everyone had shorts on and a tank top or tee shirt because it was so hot. Most boys stared at Raven because she had on knee length shorts and a tshirt she cut into a low crop top just that morning.
All this happiness and fun still didnt take off the fact that Raven had a bad feeling in her gut. Like something was going to happen. She wasn't going to be the only girl in the glade anymore. She didnt know if it would be today. Tomorrow. In 2 years. She didnt know. She kept to herself so people wouldnt think she was weird.
As she was carrying supplies to Gally, Newt and Alby walked up to her. Alby looked up at her with a smile." Having fun out here working?" Raven smiled. "Just trying make up for running off yesterday but I guess I'm having fun."
"Told ya life here wasn't so bloody bad." Newt said with a chuckle. "I guess not. I should probably get these to Gally I'll see you guys later." Raven walked away smiling.Its lunch time so everyone goes to the cafeteria where Frypan cooks up some sandwiches and carrot sticks for them. They ate in laughter. Newt, Raven, Alby, Gally , Clint, Jeff, and Zart all sat together. They had mini food fights by throwing pieces of their bread at each other or their carrots. People watched but they didnt care. They were happy. She was happy.
Besides the gut feeling, Raven had something else poking at her. She wanted to be a Runner. Badly. She knew that being a runner took talent and she thinks she has it. She knew you dont become a runner on your 4th day. But she wanted it. She needed to be. She wasn't gonna beg for it or cry for it. She was just gonna let it happen. She knew what she had to do. So she was going to tell Newt that she wanted to be a runner when the actual Runners came back for the day.
Raven stuck with her plan to tell Newt all for the rest of the day. She looked at the watch on her wrist and realized it was time for the runners to come back. She went up to Newt, who was standing by the maze doors watching, and tapped his shoulder. He looked at her." Yea?"
"I needa tell you something. I've thought about it for a while and-" He cut her off and said "can it wait I need to make they come back safely." Politely he looked back at the maze. "Yea of course." She stood there in silence. Waiting. Watching. She began to get bored til she seen a group of guys running around the corner. "THERE THEY ARE!!!" A boy from the crown outside yelled. Everyone cheered as if they had found a way out. But they were just happy that their friends were ok.Raven walked up to Newt again, he turned around knowing it was her "one second and I promise we'll talk." He walked away to talk to Minho. Once he left Gally pulled her away because he needed help. In Ravens mind she knew her request was far fetched, but she wanted to help. She was sure she had all the perks of a good runner. If Newt told her know she would just forget about it but right now she wanted this.
Once she was done helping Gally, everyone had calmed down and went back to working. Minho and the other runners had went into the Map room where they drew what they remembered about the maze from that day. Comparing them to others days, weeks, months. Raven began just walking around seeing if other people needed help. She walked giving people she went passed smiles until Newt came up to her. "Hey what did you want to talk about?" She looked up at the tall boy. "I wanted to know if there was any way I coul-" Before she could get it out they were interrupted. "Aye Newt Alby needs you." The boy said walking away.
"I'll be right back." He began to walk away. Raven began to get impatient. She had been planning this all day. So she went ahead and said it, "I wanna be a runner." Raven ran her hand through her hair. Newt turned around. He gave her a look of confusion and surprise. "What did you say?"
"I wanna be a runner."Newt just stood there with a look on his face. Not knowing what to say.
