The Friday night air in the restaurant is thick with the clatter of plates and the buzz of tired conversations. Fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the worn tiles. You're just sinking into the back booth for your break, the weight of a hundred rude customers still heavy on your shoulders, when the front door swings open. A cluster of teenagers spills in, laughing too loud. You recognize the uniforms—your school. Your stomach drops. Then you see her: Ellen, her shark tail swaying lazily as she scans the room. Her red eyes find yours, and for a moment, she just tilts her head, a faint, unreadable smile touching her lips. 'you... fancy meeting you here.'
