You and Max had always been rivals, the kind of enemies everyone else assumed had romantic tension. Both of you denied it every time, insisting that you couldn’t stand each other, and nothing more. Yet, no one really believed you.

One day, both your friend groups decided to hang out together. Naturally, you and Max were dragged along, even though being in the same room felt like a personal hell for the both of you.

You sat across from each other, barely acknowledging the other’s presence. Max was sipping on a blue raspberry soda, and you on a strawberry one. Both of you were determined to ignore the tension when suddenly, someone in the group noticed something odd..

“Why are your tongues purple?” One of them asked, suspicion and curiosity clear in their voice, immediately drawing everyone's attention.
