Spinning me around to face him, our lips touch and move in sync. Kissing Newt made all your worries go away like you were free from pain, but then reality comes and you realize you live in the Glade. Where all your troubles never go away.

Thomas and Minho had come back from the maze with Frypan, Winston, Jeff, and Zart. They had found something and had called a Gathering. I stood next to Newt in the Gathering hut, as Thomas and Minho told us what they found.
"We found this." Thomas says, handing Newt a cylinder device with wires hanging out. "It was inside a Griever."
"These are the same letters we get in our supplies." Newt says reading the letters W.C.K.D. on the cylinder.
"Whoever put us here obviously made the Grievers." Minho said.
"This is the first real clue, the first anything, you've found in over three years." Thomas says. "Right, Minho?"
"Right." Minho responded.
"Newt, we gotta go back out there." Thomas says. "Who knows where this might lead us."
"You see what he's trying to do, right?" Gally said. I sighed ready for his non stop annoyance. "First he breaks our rules...... and then he tries to convince us to abandon them totally. The rules are the only thing that have ever held us together. Why now are we questioning that? If Alby was here, you know he'd agree with me. This shank needs to be punished."
"You're right. Thomas broke the rules." Newt said I looked at him in surprise. He looked at me and winked so only I could see. He turned back towards Gally. "One night in the pit and no food."
"Come on Newt!" Gally yelled. "One night in the pit? Do you think that's gonna stop him from going into the maze?"
"No." Newt replied. "And we can't just have Non-Runners running into the maze whenever they feel like it. So let's just make this official. Starting from tomorrow, you're a Runner." I smiled at him.
"Wow!" Gally said storming out the hut with Fry going after him.
"Thanks Newt." Thomas said. Newt turned towards me grabbing my hand and pulling me out the hut.
"I think you made the right decision." I said once we were out of earshot.
"I hope you're right." He said.
"NEWT!" Someone screamed from behind us. We turned around to see Clint running towards us.
"What is it?" Newt asked.
"The girl, she's awake." He said panting.
"Where is she?" I asked. He pointed to the watch tower where Jeff was trying to get her to come down as she threw stuff down at him.
"She won't come down." Clint said.
"Go get Thomas." Newt said walking towards the watch tower, I followed.
"Hey let me try to talk to her." I said reaching the tower.
"You sure?" Newt asked.
"Yeah, she probably just needs a girl's touch." I said with a smirk. I climbed up the tower and saw the girl huddled in the corner with a knife.
"Stay back!" She spat at me.
"Hey I'm not going to hurt you." I said putting my hand out. "Just put down the knife." She lunged at me knocking me off my feet. Her knife grazed the side of my head, blood came flowing down my temple.
"Go back down or I'll hurt you more." She said. I obeyed and stubbled down the tower, my head was heavy from the blood loss.
"What the heck happened?" Newt said taking me in his arms.
"Turns out a girls touch hurts." I said cupping my hand on my wound. Newt tore a piece of his shirt and placed it on my wound.
"You need to stop hurting yourself." He said with a smile.
