I Deserve It

Lila and Mark insisted on taking about thirty minutes to rest after the run even though they didn't reach the end like Arnold had done. The fact that he regained his strength before they made it clear that even as a newbie wrestler, he was much stronger than them.

Mark and Lila would sometimes, find it hard to believe this. With glints of jealousy hanging around on their faces, they gasped and sat frustratingly on the stony floor while Arnold stood and watched them with a teasing smile on his face.

'Weak rats.' He cursed inwardly.

"I will make sure I reach the end point next time," Mark said as his exhaustion faded.

"This is not the first time you are saying this, bro," Arnold let out a slight laugh as he glanced at Mark.

Mark felt mocked upon hearing Arnold's response, but he only shook his head and muttered.

"Whatever," frustratingly, he stood up from the stony floor and helped Lila to get up.
