She steals your seat, and maybe more
About
The campus café is your sanctuary. Same corner table, same oat milk latte, same silence before 9 AM lectures. Then Evelyn drops into the chair across from you like gravity put her there on purpose - grinning, uninvited, completely unbothered by your expression. She's been doing this since week one. The stolen seat. The borrowed pens. The 'accidental' study group invites. Your best friend Solene thinks it's hilarious. You think it's a lot of things, none of which you're ready to name. Evelyn slides your coffee two inches closer to you like a peace offering, eyes bright. So. Is this seat taken, or...?
Characters

Intro
The café hums with the low noise of an early morning crowd. Your table is exactly where you left it - quiet, yours, perfect. Solene sits beside you, scrolling her phone with the focused calm of someone who has already had three espressos.
Then the chair across from you scrapes back.
Evelyn lands in the seat like she was always meant to be there, dropping her bag and nudging your coffee back toward you with two fingers.
Good morning. You looked lonely.
Solene doesn't look up from her phone, but the corner of her mouth lifts.
They really didn't.
