Chapter 3: A Glader and A Runner
Kenna's POV
"Are you sure I can be both?" I asked Newt. "I don't know, why don't you ask Gally?". I walked up to Gally, and him and Minho were still fighting. "Um, guys why can't I be both?" I asked. They stared at me for a second( which was kind of awkward) but they made their decision. "Sure, but you have to run when needed, okay?" Gally explained. "She has to take the test though Gally." Minho reminded him. Gally decided to make me race up against Minho. I started at the starting point and everyone was watching. I watched as Newt and Thomas gave me a thumbs up. "GO!". We started to run. Minho was ahead of me, but then I started to catch-up. We both came across an obstacle. Minho jumped over, then a reflex of mine kicked it. I just did a flipp over the freaking log that was in my path! Me and Minho was tied up. I was so close to the finish line and I started to be
ahead. Then I crossed the finish line. "Whoopee!" I shouted. "Congrats! You just became a part-time Runner.
A ran up to Newt and gave him a big hug. "Not only do I get to work with you, but I get to be Runner!". " Your the first person I've ever seen who is super excited about this." Newt said. Thomas came up to me and also gave me a congrats. Night came and a bonfire/party got started. Newt made me try this weird drink but it looked like something from the sewer. I had no where to sleep any more because my hammock got ruined. Chuck accidentally ripped it. Then we were all starting to get bored, until Laila asked me if I could sing. "I don't really sing that much." I said embarrassed. "Just sing something from the heart." Laila convinced me. I tried to think of a song, then it came to me.
I started to hum a tune to get me started. When I started to sing, I felt a rush of happiness over me. Newt was sitting next to me and started to hold my hand. The song I was singing was about making your own world and following your dreams. After I finished, everyone started to clap. I stood up and took a bow. Then a high pitched scream started to go through my head. It was so painful, only all the girls heard it. Newt tried to calm me down and tried to talk to me, but I had no idea what he was saying. The noise was like loud nails screeching on some wooden board. It got to the point where it got so painful I Me, Laila, and Teresa started to cry. Newt looked at me and he was tearing up. Then I started to fade away, and he next thing I know is that I black out.
