Chapter 86: Important

"I didn't know that you and Shannara knew each other," Veon said and it got Sheloah's attention. "It's sudden, right? Especially how the both of you told the story on how you met. Like what Shannara said, it's ironic how the zombie apocalypse brought you two together," he added and Sheloah nodded.

"A friend and a rival, too," Sheloah said in a whisper and Veon had not heard her clearly so he got curious.

"What?"

Sheloah shook her head, indicating Veon not to mind it. "It's nothing," she said and she asked a question to divert the topic. "How did you and Shannara meet?"

"Well…" Veon started to recall how he and Shannara met. "We were classmates when we were in sixth grade and she was my seatmate. We were kind of talkative before and we talk to each other a lot about stuff."

"That's it?" Sheloah was kind of expecting more, but she only heard a brief story from Veon.
