The bonfire was completely wild with boys dancing and acting like nut jobs all around me. I was actually enjoying the crazy atmosphere while talking to the same thick eyebrowed boy who walked with s light limp, apparently his name was Newt. I was also speaking with the Asian boy I ran into earlier name Minho who had a dry sense of funny humor. However, besides being new I felt strangely at home there.

Across from me stood the boy named Gally who would occasionally look at me and glare and I always returned it. He was actually talking to a red headed boy and Alby.

" Say Minho what exactly is your job?" I asked curiously and looked at him expectantly. "I am a runner" Minho said plainly as if I knew exactly what that was. " Well runners are the people who go out into the maze" Minho added gesturing to the stone walls that had closed.

" To do what?" I asked, I don't think I would want to be a runner. " We scope out the maze, try to find a way out and so far have been obviously unsuccessful" Minho said looking down. I nodded. There were not very many runners, only about three in the whole glade that I think was home to about 35 to 40 boys and just one girl being me.

" Sounds interesting" I said taking a swig of an alcohol based drink that was apparently Gallys mix. It may have burned my throats terribly but it certainly had a good after taste strangely enough.

Suddenly the boys gathered around a large circle like place and in the center stood Gally across from an other boy who stood nearly as tall as Gally but not nearly as thick and muscular. They then began fighting throwing jabs left and right. I walked with Minho and Newt to watch the fight unfold. The other boy, I think his name was Drake was managing a few hits every now and then but I was obvious Gally was using his brute strength against the guy. Gally finished the fight by punching the other boy out of the circle. Several boys whooped and Gally smirked triumphantly as he high fived a couple guys.

I wondered who would fight him next.

" Hey Greenie!" Gally jeered looking straight at me " Why don't you give it a go" He said gesturing with his arms out wards trying to entice me to fight him. I rose a brow contemplating it but the rest of the glazers started chanting "Greenie, Greenie, Greenie!" So it seemed I would have to fight.

I smirked and stepped into the ring rolling up the sleeves of the shirt Alby had given to me that was slightly too big for me. " Rules are simple Greenie, I try to push you out of the circle you try to last longer than five seconds" He said smirking as if he had been waiting for this his whole life. I nodded and took a similar stance that he did.

Then he charged, he was surprisingly quick for someone so large but I was quicker and at the last possible second I side stepped him allowing him to run right past me. It was my turn to smirk " Come on Gally I thought you were supposed to be good" I said and several Oohs followed that comment.

Gally then charge at me again and this time before I side stepped him he caught my foot causing me to fall. He pushed me to the ground and went to throw me out of the circle before I hit him square on the side of the head. A direct hit to his temple that discombobulated him completely but unfortunately not for long because as soon as I regain my feet he use the broad part of his hand and shoved me out of the circle where I fell straight onto Alby.

Gally stood back up straight with that same dumb smile " Sorry guess I'm better" He claimed and I stood straight back up, with my shoulders back glaring at him. " It's just so amazing how you have to compare yourself to a girl to boost your self esteem" I snapped back and that certainly shut him up.

" Just shut your mouth" Gally retorted.

Haha! Point for me!

He huffed before walking away and the bonfire party continued. Minho looked at me with clear surprised painted across his face like paint. Newt had a similar expression. " You've got more balls than most the guys here" Minho said suddenly and I burst out laughing and so did Newt. Minho laughed to realizing how funny his statement just was.

" Minho, I am surprised that most of the guys here even have balls at all" I said back as I tried to stop laughing and that caused Newt and Minho to just laugh more and I took another swig of my drink.
