Chapter 37: Impact
"Bro, what happened to your eyes? Did you sleep? You look like a zombie in distress." Said Torin as soon as he saw Zach at the training grounds.
Zach’s face crumpled. Torin was right. He looked very haggard, as dark circles were visible under his eyes because he had suffered from sleepless nights for almost three days in a row.
’It’s all her fault.’ Zach complained inwardly.
Keira Chan haunted him with her words that kept replaying in his dreams. The worst part was not only that her voice was bugging him but her face that was appearing in his dream at the same time; the exact scenario that happened that night.
"Do you know any sleeping pills that I can take?" He asked Torin instead on answering the latter’s question.
"Seriously, bro? But why? Is it because of Field Marshal Chan’s daughter? I mean did something happen when you’re alone? Did you feel an impact?" Torin asked in sequence, curiosity was killing him at that time.
This was the first time he saw Zach act weird like this.
Zach narrowed his eyes at Torin and said, "Do you want to experience a great impact right now, Torin?"
Torin pursed his lips but smiled at Zach after. "Alright, let me get you a prescription at the Medical Center," Torin offered, he was obviously in a good mood.
Zach arched an eyebrow when he noticed that there was something different about Torin.
"Did something good happen?" He asked as he continued to scan the training grounds where the cadets were preparing the area, as planned by Jeru, for the final challenges for those who had already passed the medical tests.
