This is a Maze Runner + for KING & COUNTRY story.

The girls were sitting at a picnic table, figuring out ways to make jewelry with their seashells and coral. They also found some pearls in some of the shells.
After working hard for a while, they were starting to get thirsty. So, Mallory volunteered to go get glasses of water.
She was walking closer towards the kitchen, when a boy approaches her and blocked the way. He didn't looked familiar to her. He wore a burgundy shirt, a gray jacket, jeans, and tennis shoes. The boy was also a little taller than her and had a growing goatee.

"Hey, baby. You know they shouldn't have called you 'priceless.' They should've called you 'precious.'" he said flirtatiously.
Mallory was disgusted by his comment and it really showed on her face.
"Come on now. Don't be like that." he said.
"Just leave me alone." Mallory said, then tried to walk past him.
It wasn't until he grabbed her by the arm.
"Hey! I don't take no for an answer." he said.
Luckily, Frypan and Luke saw what was happening from the kitchen. They stopped what they were doing, and ran over to Mallory and the boy. Frypan got in between them, while Luke wrapped his arms around his niece to comfort her.
"What's going on here?" Frypan asked.
"Nothing. It's not a big deal." Mallory said.
"Yeah. You heard the girl, it's not a big deal." the boy repeated.
"How dare you talk to Mallory like that?" Luke said.
"Who are you anyway?" Frypan asked.
"Aiden." the boy simply answered.
"Well, Aiden. We better not catch you anywhere near Mallory again. Do you understand?" Luke warned in a stern voice.
"Whatever. I don't have time for this." Aiden said before walking away.
After that, they just shrugged it off and went back to what they were doing.
The girls saw the whole thing and they were questioning Mallory about what happened when she brought back the waters. She explained and shrugged it off as well. After the girls finished their jewelry, they all went their separate ways to get to work.
Mallory walked into the medical center to see Courtney going organizing things in the cabinets. Throughout the day, Courtney noticed that something was off with Mallory.
"Are you okay, Mal?" Courtney asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why?" Mallory questioned.
"Ever since you came in this morning, you've been a little off. Is everything okay?" Courtney said.
