Jason POV:
After practice, it was the usual routine—me, Dylan, and Max headed straight to the diner. The moment we walked in, I spotted her. Ella. She was still working, her face set in that determined expression she always wore when she was focused. It was like she didn't even notice the rest of the world existed when she was in work mode.
Max and Dylan wasted no time, immediately slipping into their usual routine of pestering her. I rolled my eyes as I watched them, leaning back in my seat. They were trying to convince her to go on another date with them, just like they had last time. I already knew she wouldn't go. Hell, the only reason she went out with them before was to spite me.
