"Show off", she said loudly.
He's just flexing his muscles, trying to get noticed.
I knew she said that out of jealousy, but I wonder why anyone would be jealous in this situation.
It was a life or death situation.
The old man was almost crushed by the running vehicle, but was saved by an energetic fast boy.
We were all surprised at his speed, we were also happy they both survived.
Even if he was flexing his muscles, the joy of the old man being saved should overwhelm her.
But it wasn't the case, she was filled with envy.
Probably she wanted to be the hero of the day, but was not given the chance.
It was a tense situation and we were happy in the end except the lady.
People whispered several things about her, calling her names and all.
But she was keen on her choice.
I guess flexing your muscles can be upsetting for some, and so is same for saving a life.
