Chapter 5: Code 19
Kenna's POV
It was nighttime and everyone had just finished dinner. It was cold that night in the Glade, so I decided to sit by the fire. It was freezing and eventually I started to turn into an ice cube. Newt saw me freezing, so he ran to his room and grabbed a blanket and snuggled with me by the fire. "Aww, you guys are such a cute couple." Minho joked. "Oh shut up Minho, Newt just wants to be a good friend." Gally said. He was probably jealous of me and Newt together, so he probably decided to make an excuse.
I got tired so decided to sleep with Newt in the homestead because it was warm. Chuck was such a good kid and fixed my hammock. As I was sleeping I dreaming of the blonde woman speaking to me. "Don't worry Kenna, we'll take good care of him." She promised. I saw her walk away with my brother. I didn't want to loose him, but there was nothing I could do to save my little brother. A guard grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me away. Then I saw myself in the same white room,with the same woman standing there. I was probably 15 at this time.Then a guy came into the room and smiled, it was Newt. What was he doing here in my dream? "Go with him Kenna." She said. I grabbed Newt by the hand and we left the room. I watched as my 15 year old self walked down the hall way with Newt. Then we ended up in the fancy Garden. It was much more fancy than the one I the Glade. I watched myself kiss Newt on the lips. I was shocked, I didn't remember this happening at all in my life. "I love you so much Zack." 15 me said. Who the heck was Zack? Then it finally clicked. Newt isn't his actual name. His real name was Zack Newton. He was named after Isaac Newton.
I woke up from that weird dream, and saw Newt awake too. But he was having a panic attack. "Newt calm down." I said. I cupped his hand to my cheek. His breathing was worse than I thought, it was fast and unpaced and he was shaking. I gently swept his hair out of his eyes, and layed my hand on his cheek. Then I did what I had done my dream, but this time I kissed him slightly. His breathing slowed down and he kissed me back. I leaned out and his breathing was back to normal. He grinned, "How'd you do that, you're not a medjack though?"He asked. I thought if you could hold you breath for more than a second then it will be alright, I thought if I kissed you..." I was a bit embarrassed so I looked down at my hands. Newt smiled.
" You should kiss me again". I looked at him and leaned closer, I thought no one is watching so it'll be okay. We smiled sharing another kiss.
W.I.C.K.E.D

Kenna's POV
The next morning I was really tired, I woke to see Newt smiling at me while he was playing with my hair. "Sorry, didn't mean to wake you up love." Newt apologized. "It's fine as long as I get to see your cute face." I said. We fixed our clothes and walked outside. "Guess what Kenna, today you get to start to be a runner." Minho announced. Minho guided me to the map room and showed me the model of the maze. "Are you good at memorizing things?" He asked. "Yeah, I have amazing memories." I said. Frypan made us some amazing sandwiches for our journey. When we were getting ready, Minho thought I should have a weapon, so he gave me an knife. We were ready to run into the Maze, but before I left, I kissed Newt on the cheek and waved him goodbye.
Me and Minho started to run, then we had a fork in the road. "Where now girl with great memory." He asked. I stood there and looked st the Maze just so I could remember the model. "We go to the one on the left, because I'm always right." I joked. "Nice pun" Minho complimented. We ran through the left part of the Maze.
Newt's POV
I watched as Kenna wavedgoodbye to me, and all I could think is "Be careful." I was working on chopping the wood until the box started to come up.
"Gally, Alby! We got supplies!" I yelled. We went to see what we got, and saw a guy. Thomas looked at me and helped bring him up. He looked like Kenna but younger and a guy version. "Hey there shank what's your name?" Laila said intruding. "Stop flirting with him Laila." Gally commanded.
"My is Noah." He said. "Wait, how old are you?" I asked. "14"he replied. Everyone got back to work and Alby started to show him around. I was thinking about what Kenna would say or how she would react to this.
