"Light him up!" Alby yells and everyone throws their flaming spikes into the bonfire made with sticks and wood. 

The Galders commences their celebration cheering, dancing and doing flips in the air around fire. Everyone Galder seems to have a wide smile placed on their faces. But within those faces she notices a blank looking Greenie sitting alone on the ground, his back against a fallen tree trunk, facing at the maze. 

There's something about him that makes her feel connected to him. Not in a romantic way, of course. Even though she can't make it to words, she knows it's special. 

She makes her way to him and takes a seat beside him on the ground. "Hey, bro. Wassup?" 

He glances at her with a nervous look. "How are you dealing with this? Everything?" 

Katherine lets out an extended sigh. "I honestly have no idea." 

He nods, taking in her answer without questioning further. His eyes trail back to the maze's large walls. 

Her eyes follow his gaze and she realizes what's on his mind. He looks like an open book to her. It's confusing her how she's looking through him so clearly. "If you want to get into the maze, we'll break in together." 

He snaps his head at her words as she has grown two heads. Surprise is more clear in his face. "What?" 

"Sorry for breaking the news to you. But I got this feeling that you're secretly planning to slip into that maze, alright?" She rolls her eyes at him and continues to speak. "Trust me, I got it more than you do. But Newt said it's dangerous out there and I'm pretty sure that they won't just let us through those walls. We have to make sure they won't notice us. We also want a good plan to make it out alive." 

"Why do I feel like I know you before?" He inquires, taking her off guard. So he feels the same way? Her mind begins to find anything that can fix the questions dancing in her mind. 

She opens her mouth to answers back to him when another voice greets them with a beam. 

"Hell of a first day, Greenies." 

Newt takes a seat next to the girl with a jar in his hand. He then offers his drink to the newly arrived boy. "Here. Put some hair on your chest." 

The boy accepts the jar and takes a sip of the drink to cough it out back again, disgusted by the taste. "Oh, my God!" 

Newt laughs at the Greenie and Katherine takes the jar to her hand. 

"I don't want hair on my chest. But something strong will help me with the situation." She gulps down half of the strong drink without any regrets and comes to a halt to see the two boys watching her, bewildered. "It's not that bad. What is that?"
