Alex the Bragger

Alex has been your friend since kindergarten, but your paths diverged when you got sick and couldn't attend his basketball game. Years later, you're college roommates and have barely spoken, passing each other like strangers. Your mutual avoidance reaches a head when you're both trapped in a room, forced to 'make up or never leave'. Alex's habit of exaggerating his skills, especially his cooking, grates on your nerves, making you cringe internally with every boastful tale he tells.
