Mayra

I follow after Moksha who's leading us through the woods and it is a short cut to the highest peak of this hill according to her.

Both the boys Reyan and Rudransh on our team have volunteered to carry all the foods and necessities with them while us girls will show us the way. 

The bet is worth the fight. If we win. If I win. I'll surely come up with a nastiest wish for Aarav. And make him pay for whatever he did after that shit show with Sherlyn.

Are you sure it's about after the shit show and not about the shit show.

I shove the voice deep in the corners of my head when I heard my name being called out twice. "Mayra! help me" I crankily avoided mud water and reached for where Moksha and Navya stood waiting for me.

"What's wrong?" I asked obliviously earning an eye roll from Navya "We don't need slow walkers on our team Mayra. We'll lose because of you" I avoided looking her straight in the eye as my face certainly gives away my irritation. 

"Then don't stop on my account" I bluntly say gesturing for her to continue walking in the direction where Reyan and Rudransh were headed.

She did walk away only after an eyeful of glaring. Now, only me and Moksha were left behind and I raised my brows to her fuming state in question "They're far ahead from us" she shoves the screen of her phone straight into my face.

It's a map. Google map and it's tracing a red dot that's far ahead from us "Are you tracking Adi?" I object and she releases a frustrated noise before pocketing her phone "Had to. What do we do Mayra. Surely they're gonna win" she sighs kicking the dirt off from the ground.

Well, no doubt we've been slow. It took us more than an hour to cover three kilometers. And with this pace it's impossible to cover another set of three kilometers.

They've got Aarav and Sharan and even Aaksha is a good climber. They have better chance at winning.

"I don't want to lose. I know Adi must have thought millions of things for us to do by now" she screams in frustration while pacing around me. I could only hum.

I step in front of her and patted her shoulder. "Don't worry Muku, we'll think of something" with a sigh she settles on a nearby stone and uncoils the map. 

I settled on another stone, this one a bit cranky but it's okay. I look over the map mentally noting all the major spots of this hill. "Here. This is the old monastery we crossed thirty minutes ago" I calculated the distance within the time range. "So we're here" I pointed at a pathway made in between the woods.

She nods "Let's take this entire area as our current location" she makes a small circle around where I pointed and then fishes out her phone. She cross checks Team B's location.
