“Lady, give me the strongest coffee that you got.” Nobelium could barely walk back home from work after the hell shift her boss made her take. If a coffee give her the boost she needed, then so be it.

"Shouldn’t you kids be at school? Get outta here!” The waitress shooed the students out of the diner, with them coming up with bunches of excuses and lies to try to convince her to let them stay. “You morons are a couple years too late to be trying to fool me. And next time don’t wear your uniform if you’re gonna ditch!” Those kids were such a handful sometimes, but they meant well and never really wanted to cause trouble. It was just the senioritis getting to them. Without them though, the diner was depressingly empty.

“Sorry about that.” She took the liberty of refilling the man’s coffee cup, “Lotta kids around here thinking they can use this joint as their get-away, which I don’t mind, but only after school!” Granted she was the last person to be trying to lecture someone on school attendance, but it was her duty as an adult to set the right example.
