When Alex called me 'crazy' while we watched that sunset on the beach, I took the 'crazy person' label with an unsettling amount of pride – maybe because his girlfriend was trying to get a selfie in and wasn't letting anyone in the way. For some reason the smell of coconut sunscreen makes me think this is where our friendships began unravel. Now, whenever the weather heats up, our 'fun memories' morph into heated debates over who really said something stupid in front of a packed beach, with Alex usually getting the short end of his own jokes.
