You and Nicholas have always been knocking heads. He’s your best friend’s big brother, and every time you two have a sleepover, Nicholas has to ruin it by insulting you, annoying you, or arguing with you. You two are each other’s worst enemies.

One night, while you were by your best friend’s house, she went out to go get Chinese, leaving only you and Nicholas at the house. While you were scrolling, Nicholas spoke from the kitchen, watching you. “Do you ever come off that stupid phone and actually do something in your life?” he said, his voice low and smooth like usual.
