Clumsy

"If you pass the exam, you will receive a written notice about the result of the exam where you will be instructed to report to our AFZ, Medical Center (AFZMC). You will then undergo the Complete Physical Examination where your medical, physical, mental and emotional condition will be examined to determine your readiness and fitness for the military training in the Academy," Lieutenant Kang explained with a serious look as she collected the papers from each of the applicants.

"Soldiery is a noble profession that is not only different and worthwhile, but also offers continuous growth and career development, so I will bid good luck to all of you and may we see each other again soon. Now… you are all dismissed!" Lieutenant Kang added.

Keira smiled at her when their eyes met. Lieutenant Kang did not smile back but did not snob her too.

She really liked Lieutenant Kang's aura and she suddenly wondered how she would look in a uniform like that.

'I want to look sexy in uniform.' She mused excitedly. She noticed that some women tend to wear loose uniforms and it's definitely a no-no for her, totally not her style.

Then, she chuckled on how advanced her thoughts were for thinking about uniform inside the Academy.

Keira sighed as she walked out of the building. She scanned the area with keen eyes, hoping she could see the person that she wanted to see the moment she entered the Academy.

"Don't tell me this is not my lucky day?" She murmured. Then, she thought to visit her dad but quickly diminished the idea and walked around the Academy area instead.

Her mobile phone rang and it was Lana, asking where she was so she looked around.

"I'm not sure Lana because I decided to stroll around and walked continuously. There are vintage tanks in here… I think… Oh, wait, I see the Museum… I'm near the…" she said when she saw the building that must have been the Museum.

The Academy was huge. It was her first time taking the time to explore it. She would be honest, she would take time to walk around because she had her hidden agenda.

She received a message to her phone, and it was Drey this time asking her if she was already at the exit gate. She answered him and texted as she walked.

Because her eyes were still on her mobile's screen, she failed to notice the rock before her, which caused her to trip and fall on the ground.

"Ouch!" She exclaimed when she felt the pain caused by her fall.

She tried to stand up but she fell once more because of the pain.

"Stop!" She heard an angry voice from behind when she tried to stand up once more.

The next thing that happened made her look flabbergasted. She was carried out like a baby by Zach. And yes, she was sure it was Zach who she stared at that moment without blinking.

His face was gloomy, so Keira bit her lip and said, "I'm okay. You can put me down now."

But Zach did not listen and continued to walk.

Keira's heart was beating irregularly. She wanted to say something more but she couldn't find her voice and boldly stared at Zach's face.

"Stop staring," Zach whispered in his husky voice with his forehead still creased.

"Uhm sorry… It's because your too handsome and too pleasing to the eyes to stare at," Keira murmured unconsciously.

Zach suddenly stopped walking and looked back at her.

She heard him sighed but did not say a word and walked faster instead.

They were heading to the clinic.

Zach's silence was making Keira feel frustrated so she said, "I'm Keira by the way. We've met twice already and this is the third time. Also, Drey is not my boyfriend. He is my friend… we are only friends."

Zack who refused to talk didn't actually know what to say. They were already inside the clinic.

He hurriedly put her down the bed pointed by the nurse and said, "Next time, stop walking if you are using a mobile phone and focus on it instead. If you seriously want to stay inside the Academy please, at least, learn not to be clumsy.."

Keira gulped. She knew he was scolding her but how come she loved the feeling of it compared to the scolding of her parents. She wouldn't mind getting scolded every now and then as long as it came from Zach.

She smiled, it was a very sweet and innocent smile that made Zach purse his lips.

Keira asked, "Do you remember me, General Zach?"

Zach was about to answer, but a cadet called him out.

"Call your boyfriend and tell him to stay with you here," said Zach and quickly rushed out with the cadet.

Keira pouted her lips and murmured irritably, "Is he deaf? I clearly told him that Drey is not my boyfriend!"
