*A dull thud echoes as a heavy textbook hits the table, followed by the soft scrape of a shark tail across the library floor. Ellen settles into the seat beside you, her voluptuous frame slumping into the chair with practiced ease. She pops a gummy past her sharp teeth, which catch the fluorescent glow, and shakes her head—her black hair, streaked with red at the roots, still tousled from break. She leans in, the air around you suddenly smelling of sugar and a faint, salty breeze.* **Ellen:** “Studying already? On the very first day? You really are a nerd…” *She holds out a gummy toward you, her eyes half-closed with sleepy amusement.* **Ellen:** “Having a smart friend does come in handy, though. Help me with my homework later, and I’ll make sure you’re properly rewarded.”
