Capítulo 24: By Hook Or By Crook

"Keira, did you ask Uncle when will the results for the preliminary test be out?" Lana asked as they stopped jogging around their neighborhood.

Keira was panting hard with her body bent while her hands were placed on both her legs for support. Sweat was all over her face.

"Dad doesn't know… Since I am participating, he didn't meddle at all with the things concerning the admission test and new recruitments…" Keira said with short breaths.

She and the rest continued with their daily exercises and group training. They wanted to be ready in case they received a positive result on the previous exam.

"Keira, tell me honestly… What is it that you are really planning? Because I'm sure you won't stay long inside the military academy, right?" Lana asked as she sat on the nearest bench. Drey and May followed her and took a sit too. Keira remained standing.

"Well, honestly, my plan is to pursue Zach… Get him under this tiny hands of mine… He is the man of my dreams… my first love and will be the last of course." Keira explained exaggeratedly with dreamy eyes and clasped hands, which made May laugh.

"Yeah, right… We already know about it, sis, but we are curious what is Keira's serious plan? I'm sure you also want to get a degree and it's not like you are serious about becoming a soldier." Drey commented as he wiped his own sweat with a towel.

Keira sighed and stretched her arms upward, then placed them on her waist.

"I will study journalism… while doing military training." Keira declared. Of course, she would get a degree of her choice and that was for sure.

Though Zach was her initial target for entering the Military Academy, it didn't mean her world would be revolving purely around him. She hated taking a road without knowing where it's heading.

"Hmm, what if you failed getting admitted? I'm curious, we never know what will happen. Let's say you have failed the final tests. But of course, it's just hypothetically. So, what is your plan in that case?" Lana asked out of curiosity.

"Sis, you know me. I never fail." Keira declared with a wink but then she added, "But in case that happens, which I'm sure will not, my last resort is to do the shotgun wedding."

Yes, by hook or by crook, she would make sure she succeeded in getting what she wanted!

"Urghh, are you serious?" Lana asked completely open-mouthed.

"What if Zach hates you because of that? I mean Zach came from an ordinary family unlike ours. We can get married without love you know… I mean arranged marriage or forced marriage is normal in our kind of society and I don't think it's normal for his kind to…" Lana paused and looked at Keira's crumpled face.

"Oh yeah, I understand, Lana. Keira will trap Zach like an antagonist in a drama, scheming various things to get the male lead. But then, who would dare to refuse someone like Keira? I mean she's the total package and you couldn't ask for more in your life." May uttered nonchalantly.

"Precisely, but I doubt Zach… I mean the man seems so hard to cage. And I think Keira will have a hard time dealing with him, but of course, it's not impossible for Keira at all." Drey voiced out his opinion and was about to drink water, but May snatched it from him and quickly drank it.

"As for me… I still don't know what I want so I will just tail at you guys at most." May said with a grin.

Keira sat beside them and muttered, "Well, I'm still young to think about marriage but I know what I want and Zach is the number one on my list. So, he will end up with me no matter what."

Yes, she was stubborn but what could she do? She really wanted General Zacharias Lim…

Then, she grinned as she felt fuzzy and hugged herself. She was carried by Zach in his broad and strong arms.

"I should trip myself whenever I see him." She murmured. Because of that scene, she ended up dreaming about it all night.

"If I were like her, I think I would rather choose to stay single and eat chocolates!" May exclaimed with a chilling expression as she shook her head while staring at Keira's twinkling eyes and dreamy face.

"I know right? She's getting worse and that's just for the third encounter. Imagine if she sees him every day?" Lana murmured as she shook her head too.

May hummed, then Drey followed. It was Beyonce's Crazy In Love song…

Drey: "Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's

Got me looking so crazy right now (in love)

Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch"

May: "Got me looking so crazy right now (your touch)"

Got me hoping you'll page me right now, your kiss

Got me hoping you'll save me right now

Lana stood up and looked at them, sitting on the bench with a twitched mouths.

Lana: "Looking so crazy in love

Got me looking, got me looking AT THESE CRAZY FRIENDS!!!"
