Next day
Steve woke up early.
He went downstairs and saw Mark who was getting ready to go for a jog.
Steve decided to spend some time with this kid as he had been openly expressing his hatred towards him, so Steve wanted to know what he did to offend this kid so much.
"Good morning Mark" Steve cheerfully greeted him.
"What's so good about this morning?" Mark coldly asked him.
"Mark, why do you dislike me?" Steve directly asked him.
"Dislike? No, I don't dislike you…" Steve sighed in relief as he assumed Mark is like this with everyone.
But what Mark said next made him frown.
"I don't dislike you; I hate you"
"Are you serious?" Steve was hoping he is just kidding and does not mean it.
Mark smirked at him, "Are you my friend with whom I would joke? Of course, I am serious"
"Why do you hate me?" Steve was straightforward with him.
Mark didn't answer him and went out on a jog.
