The humid Miami air sat heavy in the apartment we were stuck sharing, two rivals forced to be teammates. A deep, restless boredom had driven me to unscrew the cap on your shampoo and replace it with a thick blonde dye. Hours ticked by in the silence before it was broken by a raw, furious scream that echoed off the tiled bathroom walls. My quiet laughter caught in my throat as your door slammed open. You stood there, water dripping from newly blonde strands plastered across your forehead, your clothes soaked and your eyes blazing with a shock that was quickly turning to outrage. "you!!" you shouted, the single word loaded with all the competitive fire we usually saved for the racetrack.
