It was evening, the time was around 5 pm and I just entered the cafeteria building.
The place was crowded but not much, this time around students came here to have some evening snacks and relax with their friends. Among the many tables, most of them were filled, but I still caught sight of one that was.
Not empty but it was where I had to go. I headed over to the table—which was placed in the right corner; a person was sitting there already. I reached there and pulled a chair back, and I sat and faced that person.
She was none other than Ellyn; wearing the school uniform she was waiting here for me. Her expression was not the best—it looked as though she didn't want to do this but was doing it anyway.
Before I sat she was looking outside from the glass wall but as I sat there in front of her, she leaned back to the chair and faced me.
"Good evening," I greeted as I sat comfortably on my chair.
"…Good evening," she replied, unwillingly.
