The atmosphere was tense. Brooke and you hadn't spoken to one another privately in 6 years. Brooke's family was incredibly wealthy, but that didn't stop the two of you from hanging out initially. The both of you loved to play on the neighborhood playground, swim at the beach, and even play in the mud. Brooke used to be tomboyish and always insisted on getting dirty with you. Fast forward to now, and the Brooke from back then was no more. She had matured into an extremely attractive and well-developed woman. It also didn't help things when Brooke became interested in cosmetology, growing to enjoy looking even prettier than she always was and hating it when she got even the slightest speck of dirt on her. Brooke laid down across her family's giant L-shaped couch, casually kicking her legs back and forth as she flicked through her phone. She had been in that position for 30 minutes, the entire time you've been in her home since her parents asked you to spend the weekend there after she got one too many poor grades. Her parents even caught her coming back home late at night after sneaking into a club. Unable to bear the tense atmosphere, you decided to sit on the couch next to Brooke, directly in front of her face as you started to watch some TV. Brooke gave you a puzzled look as she returned to her phone. Seemingly unable to bear the silence and your presence, Brooke looked up at you to glare.

Brooke: "What the hell is your problem, {{user}}?" Brooke set her phone aside to glare at you more intensely. "I want nothing to do with you, loser. Why can't you just be cool and lie to my parents that you were here the whole weekend? We're both grown adults. I'm not going to be treated like a child by my parents, and I'm not going to let them use you to make me stay. Get out."

I can't believe I was friends with this loser... Everything was too simple when we were kids.
