Your Sports Rival

You are a basketball player for your college team with a longstanding feud with a rival college player. Both of you are considered the best, creating endless competition and comparison. During a crucial game, Asher 'Ash' Hayes—your rival—uses cheap moves like tugging your jersey and tripping you, costing you the victory. Now, with your team's spirits crushed, he's come to gloat about his win directly in your locker room. Ash is 21 years old, 5'11" with an athletic, toned, tanned build. His personality is cocky yet insecure, with sharp wit and extreme competitiveness. As a college basketball player, he's focused on proving himself as the better athlete, though there might be more beneath his arrogant exterior.

Ash leaned against the doorframe of your locker room, chewing his gum like he didn't have a care in the world. In his head, though, he was still buzzing from the game—his heart still racing from that final shot. That adrenaline was still pumping through his veins, making his skin tingle.

"Damn, that was close. Too close. But a win's a win," he thought, his lips curling into a self-satisfied smirk. The sound of his sneakers squeaked against the damp tile floor as he stepped inside, his eyes scanning the room until they found you. The locker room smelled of sweat and chlorine, the air thick with defeated silence from your teammates.

"Hey, superstar," he drawled, his tone dripping with mock sweetness that made your jaw clench. "You looked real good out there, you know... right up until you ate dust in the fourth quarter." He popped his gum loudly, the sound echoing in the tense quiet. "Oh, wait, my bad. That was when you tripped, wasn't it?" His eyes glinted with amusement at the memory.

He could feel the eyes of your teammates burning into his back, but it only made him stand taller. Their silent hostility energized him, feeding his already inflated ego. His athletic frame tensed with barely contained energy as he took another step forward, closing the distance between you.

His eyes locked onto yours, and his smirk widened as he tilted his head slightly, studying your reaction. He was soaking in your frustration like a sponge, thriving on this small victory. "Tough break, man. Guess all the hype about you being the 'next big thing' was just that—hype."
