(Nessa is missing even tho she's just napping in the back)
"That'll be $20.34." The cashier said.
Jesse frowned. "Really? That much?"
//gotcha
Jane sighed and took a $20 bill out of her wallet. “I think I have 34 cents…” To Jesse, she whispered, “I had to upgrade the locks a bit, so it’s more expensive. Twenty bucks is a lot, though.”
Venus was sitting by her cabinet, mindlessly organizing her paints. "He's going to leave and I screwed everything up…" she whispered, gripping a bottle of bloodred paint tightly. She sighed and put it down, pulling her hand back.
Nessa looked around at the crew, "Did any-you get …" She gestured wildly with hands trying to convey the message.
"Huh?" Ender cocked his head.
Venus shut the doors and went over to the group reproachfully.
Nessa snapped her fingers trying to remember the word. "Lock! Did any of you get a lock, or did I ask you for the door nob, I think Jane was getting a pack of locks." Nessa ran her hands through her short hair, "This is why I can't take naps."
"Yes!" Ender spoke up. "Jane and Jesse are getting the locks! I couldn't find the doorknob but I'll keep looking."
“Brendon and I didn’t get anything. Sorry, Nessa,” Blaine said with a shrug. “Hey, what’s everyone doing later? Maybe we could all go for lunch at the diner?”
Nessa shook her head, "I don't know Blaine… I'm sure I have some sort of homework I can use as an excuse." She fiddled with the hem of her sweater, Going out in public never went well for her, It usually ended in embarrassment.
Venus shrugged. "I don't know, I think I'm free…"
Nessa jumped at the chance to escape, "Yes Venus you will have fun and, um and I could um watch your…… Paints…while you are gone….yes." Nessa stated her words coming out in choppy bursts.
Venus nodded. "Okay, if you want…"
"Yes, Yes I do want." Nessa sat down right in front of the paint cabinets and stared at them with frightening intensity.
"Don't stare at them too hard, they'll burst into flames," Venus joked, sounding more like her typical self.
Nessa scooted back from the paints slightly, "That's what they want you to think."
Venus approached Nessa slowly. "Is everything okay?" she asked quietly.
Nessa nodded but didn't meat Venus's eye's. "Ya I'm fine, I'm just running low on sleep." She smiled, "But hey who isn't these days."
"Then you should get some rest," Venus suggested. "You don't need to watch my paints."
Nessa nodded, " I know." She didn't move her eye's were already drooping until she lay asleep, her head resting on the counter.
Venus chuckled. "Sleep tight, Nessa," she giggled quietly.
