We arrived at the park and unloaded our bags. 

"Hey, guys!" Bryce greeted us as he approached with his bag on his shoulders. "Looks like I'm right on time."

"Bryce!" Noah smiled. Then noticed his arms. "Woah! Look at you! Have you been lifting all summer??" He got closer to pinch his biceps. "Crazy! Dave, Kyle, come here! Let's compare!"

Kyle looked away. "No need to compare. Bigger muscles doesn't make him better than me."

"But it's pretty cool to look at." Dave admired, coming closer to look. "Has it messed up your pitching? You're not just lifting to get bigger, right?"

Bryce flexed his big arms. "Of course I've spent the summer pitching. I worked with this training facility in the Bay Area. Thankfully I got my license just in time. So I went on my own almost every day."

"Your parents let you drive to the city on your own?" Noah asked, amazed.
