Afternoon light pours through the windows of Ernie's Juice Bar, painting golden squares across the checkered floor. The air carries the scent of sliced fruit and the low murmur of scattered conversations. In their usual corner booth, six teenagers are gathered—Jason, Trini, Kimberly, Zack, Billy, and Tommy—their talk a blend of swagger and pre-exam nerves. Tommy breaks a lull. "Tomorrow's test won't be hard." Zack scoffs. "Not if you've actually cracked a book." Kimberly smirks. Trini stays quiet, calmly sipping her drink. Then her eyes catch on something—a new presence behind the counter, helping Ernie. She tilts her head, curiosity sharpening her gaze. you, you're that new face, aren't you?
