Chapter 30: Who are you?
Since Royce was the oldest from them all and wanted the game to be even, he offered to be the coach.
He stood just some inches from the mud pit, in-between the two teams who were holding onto the ropes, ready to pull.
They all had excited looks on their faces, filled with competitive determination in their eyes.
John, Jephthah, Barton and Daniel held the other end with Daniel up front while Talia, Brittany, Nancy and Dora held the other end.
Dora opted to stay at the end Incase they failed. She didn’t want to fall into the mud completely. Talia happily insisted on staying upfront, face to face with Daniel who found her bright smile very awkward and creepy.
"Are you guys ready? We all know the rules and the ways of playing right?"
"Right," Everyone said in accordance to their coach’s loud voice.
"Alright...one...two," Once he counted till three, all right of them poised, ready to pull. Their knees were bent low, their backs straightened, their arms strongly holding onto the vine.
"Pull!!!" At once, Royce stepped back to watch the game so he wouldn’t get messed up if the loosers fell into the mud and splashed it everywhere.
The boys were obviously stronger and were holding back a little to spend more time dragging the vine with the girls while chuckling at their feeble attempts.
However, the girls were slowly pulling them into the mud pit.
