That night you have trouble sleeping. Thomas's snoring is so loud it's a wonder how anyone could sleep through it.

You finally just steal Thomas's pillow from under him and press it against the top of your head to try and block out the noise. It works a little, and the sound becomes less obnoxious. You finally drift off to sleep.

It feels like it's only been two minutes but suddenly you're being shaken awake. You open your eyes and see the bright light of the sunrise, and Newt, once again, leaning over your face too close for comfort.

"God Newt," you say shoving him away from you. "Ever heard of a thing called personal space?"

Newt just laughs. "We have more jobs to do greanbean. Let's go. No time to waste."

This morning you've been assigned to work with the Medjacks. It's a fairly simple job; not many people are getting hurt. You basically spend the morning bandaging up some Slicer's hands.

Clint and Jeff seemed impressed at your work. Maybe this could be your job. It doesn't seem all that bad.

But there's still one job that your itching to try: Runner. It seems so cool, going out into the maze everyday. It could be exciting and thrilling, a new challenge everyday. And that's exactly what you want.

At twelve you walk to lunch and find Newt and Chuck already at your usual table. Sees you coming over and sends you a silent plead for help.

"So I totally think that Ben has a crush on Minho because he keeps getting all up in his klunk you know? Oh and I also heard that Zart was caught stealing food out of Frypan's fridge like how the hell did he think he was getting away with that..." Newt finally notices you're behind him.

"Oh hello greenie nice of you to finally show up we've been waiting for like 10 minutes. TEN BLOODY MINUTES!"

"Jeez settle down there," you say, sitting newt to Chuck.

"So glad you got here," Chuck whispers to you. "Miss Gossip Girl here won't shut up!"

"Hey! I can here you!" Newt pouts.

You and Chuck start cracking up. Newt sighs.

"Oh by the way, Juno, since the Medjacks have been doing just about nothing today," Newt rolls his eyes,"you're going to be working with the slicers this afternoon. It'l make this whole shucking process a whole lot faster. Just try not to end up back with the Medjacks if you know what I mean."

*

After only five minutes with the Slicers, you're already puking up your lunch. The Keeper, Winston, decides that you will most defiantly not be getting this job, and gives you the afternoon off.

You're trying to figure out what to do with your afternoon when Chuck runs up to you.

"JUNOOOOOO! COME WITH MEEEEE" he screams.

Confused, you follow him.

"Chuck where are we going?" You ask.

"You'll see," he says with a sly grin.

"Chuck... What are you thinking?" You're starting to get worried.

"Shhh!!!"

You and Chuck have arrived at the bathrooms. He creeps up underneath the window. He gestures for you to join him.

"Chuck," you whisper. "Why are we hanging out at the bathrooms. I'm not going in there with you."

Chuck holds back a laugh. "No. We're going to prank someone."

"How are we going to-" Suddenly Chuck jumps up, shoves the window open, screams at the talk of his lungs, and runs as fast as he can away from the bathroom. You try to run off after him, but a voice yells out "GREENIE!"

You've been spotted.

You turn back and see a furious Gally.
