I have a really good friend named Aisha. She's an Indian girl with dark hair, brown eyes and thick lips. Can't really deny that she's beautiful now, but back then, she was such a tomboy and immature. She was super-competitive, always believed in gambling during a competition and the loser should be humiliated. She still does today, the only difference being that she used to win our competitions back then.

Flashback to about six years ago during winter break. We were in eighth grade and I had went over to her house to hang out. Her mom wasn't home (both of our fathers died when we were young, kinda how we became friends), but her older sister was and she had a couple of friends over. They were upstairs while we went down to the basement to play some video games. The other cool thing about Aisha was that she was a big sports fan, mainly football and basketball.

We were playing Madden downstairs. I was wearing a long-sleeve gray thermal shirt and jeans. She wore a black t-shirt, red flannel shirt, skinny jeans and a beanie. We had a pretty good game going. By the end of the first half, I was winning by 14. I decided to gloat for the hell of it, see if she got pissed. "I'm already 20 bucks richer"

Aisha put on a sarcastic smile then said, "Just cause you're winning in the first half doesn't mean that you've won"

Me, being cocky, responds. "But I probably will win anyway"

She pauses the game and looked at me as though I've said something ridiculous. "Oh really? And why's that?"

I sarcastically responded, "Because I'm a guy and all guys are better at video games than girls"

With mock astonishment, she said, "Wow! How sexist is that?"

"But true. I mean, I'm better at you when it comes to video games"

"Just cause you've won more times than I have doesn't mean that all guys are better than girls. In fact, let's make a new bet. You need to be taught a lesson in humiliation!"

"All right, fine! But don't think that I'm the one who needs to learn!"

I didn't realize it at the time, but we were kinda yelling at each other. Aisha's sister, Padma, and her friends came downstairs to see what was up.

Quick thing about Padma that you should know. Aisha pretty much looks like Padma, only Padma actually looks like a girl. She was never really a tomboy like her sister. She's pretty nice to people, but she can be super scary, especially if she threatens you.

She said, "Whoa, you two! Calm down. Don't tell me this is another one of your stupid bets"

We explained to her the whole situation and she said, "So this isn't just about money now. It's about dignity"

We nodded in agreement. Normally, Padma is the one who would stop us from doing ridiculous bets and talk some sense into us. This time, however, she had somewhat of a mischievous smile on her face.

She then asked, "And you want the loser to be totally humiliated?"

We both said, "Yes!"

"Something that they will never live down?"

"Absolutely!"

She raised an eyebrow and smirked. Then she looked back at her friends who were trying not to laugh.

She turned back to us and said, "Then how about this? The three of us will decide the punishment. You guys come up and meet us when you're done"

That seemed like a good idea. But at the same time, very terrifying. I looked at Aisha and she looked back at me. We both nodded in agreement, then nodded to Padma.

Padma looked somewhat satisfied. She then started walking back upstairs and said, "Great! See you soon! And I promise that this punishment will be truly embarrassing"

Her friends chimed in agreement and they went upstairs.
