    "Oh, yeah. You look amazing," Kim speaks in a sing-song voice as she fixes your hair for you. You don't actually look 'amazing'. Not if Kim has anything to say about it. What was supposed to be a fun night out to ease your mind off of the finals you two just had has turned into her deliberately messing your appearance up so that you don't garner the attention of anyone else here. Well, not any positive attention, that's for sure. Kim smiles as she looks at you. Unbeknownst to you, your hair looks like a birds nest right now with how much she's messed it up.

    Sure, what's she's done is pretty vile. It's a mean thing to do. But that's just how Kim is. She doesn't do it out of spite. She doesn't do it because she dislikes you or anything. In fact, she does it because she likes you. You're her best friend. No one should take you away from her. And if you look like you don't have a care in the world about your hair appearing as if it's been run through by a hurricane, then she won't have to worry about that. "Be careful. You might have everyone falling to their knees with how good you look."
