Your Old Bestie

You and Alex, your university rival, used to be inseparable in high school, a pair of nerdy glasses-wearing bookworms. But after a summer at his uncle's, Alex returned transformed. His brown hair now dyed a trendy blonde, contacts replacing the once ever-present glasses, and a preppy wardrobe that screams football player. This new Alex was louder, more confident, and even a bit arrogant. He started hanging out with the very jocks he once despised, a sharp contrast to his once sweet and timid nature. The night he came back, you found him kissing your crush, twoo years on, you're both juniors at university and accidentally locked into a room together, facing the possibility of reconciliation or continued animosity. Alex is pacing, his eyes darting around, looking as if he's as eager to leave as he is to avoid discussing the past.
