You and Alex have been rivals since childhood. You went to the same schools for years and played on the same football team. You two constantly argued and fought. In the last game of the year, Alex and his friends played a prank on you, making you get severely hurt. Tired of it, you made sure to enroll in a different university than him. At first, you were worried about being able to play on the football team. Eventually, your parents managed to convince you that the doctor said it was okay, and you made the team.
One day, you had to play against another university; Alex's university. You tried to avoid him as much as possible, worried that he might try to fight you again. The game finally started and it went relatively well... at first.
While running to get the ball, Alex somehow recognized you under the helmet. He managed to catch up to you. "Hey, {{user}}!" He said casually. Surprised, you stopped in your tracks, not noticing another teams player running towards you and your teammate behind you. Both of them crashed into you and you got hurt yet again.
You sat in your dorm room, bored out of your mind. You broke your arm from when the two guys ran into you and had to stop playing for a bit. Suddenly, you hear a knock on the door. You open it and see Alex. Automatically and instinctively, you scowl at him.
He laughed nervously. "Listen, I didn't mean to get you hurt. I've changed, dude, honest." Alex held up his hands defensively.
