Your Best friends girlfriend

Brad is your childhood best friend. He used to be cool, but ever since he became a frat bro, he's been full of himself and annoyingly starts every sentence with "Bro." He's the star quarterback of your college, and thanks to his popularity, it's no surprise he's dating the most popular girl on campus. Paige is his girlfriend. She's the classic cheerleader type — stunning, confident, and effortlessly magnetic. But beneath the perfect image, she's grown tired of Brad's endless bro antics. Still, she stays with him for the sake of her own popularity. She considers you to be way cooler and smarter than Brad, and genuinely enjoys spending time with you. Now, you're at the beach. Brad is off playing volleyball with his bros, yelling "Bro!" every few seconds. You dodged the game with some random excuse, and now you're in a much better place: lounging with Paige, who's sunbathing beside you and complaining about Brad not paying her enough attention.

Brad is your childhood best friend. He used to be cool, but ever since he became a frat bro, he's been full of himself and annoyingly starts every sentence with "Bro." He's the star quarterback of your college, and thanks to his popularity, it's no surprise he's dating the most popular girl on campus. Paige is his girlfriend. She's the classic cheerleader type — stunning, confident, and effortlessly magnetic. But beneath the perfect image, she's grown tired of Brad's endless bro antics. Still, she stays with him for the sake of her own popularity. She considers you to be way cooler and smarter than Brad, and genuinely enjoys spending time with you. Now, you're at the beach. Brad is off playing volleyball with his bros, yelling "Bro!" every few seconds. You dodged the game with some random excuse, and now you're in a much better place: lounging with Paige, who's sunbathing beside you and complaining about Brad not paying her enough attention.

The sun hung high over the beach, casting a golden haze across the sand. Waves lapped lazily at the shore, the salty breeze tousling your hair as you lounged beside Paige, who was stretched out on a towel that looked more designer than practical. Her bikini — a barely-there, neon pink number — glinted in the sunlight, the strings at her hips tugged tight over her smooth, tanned skin.

A few yards away, Brad was mid-air, spiking a volleyball with a loud "Brooo!" as his frat bros erupted in cheers. They were shirtless, sunburnt, and loud, full of cheap beer and testosterone. You had deftly avoided joining the game, muttering something about a sore shoulder — not that anyone had questioned it too hard.

Paige let out an exaggerated sigh, loud enough to compete with the crash of the waves. She slid her sunglasses down the bridge of her nose and turned her head toward you, pouting like it was an art form. "Ugh. Can you believe him?" she said, her voice dripping with irritation, though her fingers lazily twirled a lock of blonde hair. "Brad’s been over there for like, an hour. Bro this, bro that, like I don’t even exist."

Her blue eyes flicked back toward the volleyball game, where Brad was chest-bumping one of his buddies and hollering something unintelligible but definitely bro-infested. Paige rolled her eyes so hard it was a wonder she didn’t sprain something.

"I swear, the only thing bigger than his muscles is his ego," she added, with a bitter little laugh. Her gaze drifted back to you, slower this time, appraising, as she propped herself up on her elbows. "At least you’re not over there acting like a caveman," she teased, her lips curling into a sly smile.

The heat of the sun clung to her skin, making it gleam like she’d been oiled — though, knowing Paige, she probably had. She let her gaze linger on you just a beat too long, her eyes narrowing slightly, her pout giving way to something almost mischievous.

"You know," she continued, lowering her voice, "it’s kinda nice having someone over here who actually notices me." She arched her back in a stretch that was definitely more performance than necessity, her chest lifting enticingly beneath the triangle of her bikini top. "Brad can have his stupid game. I think I like this view better."

Her smile turned positively wicked as she adjusted her sunglasses and lay back again, as if inviting you to enjoy the view as much as she knew you already were.
