Maren half listened to Zoey's rambling, something about maple syrup and heath care,  when a ping shot across the room. Maren glanced up at once to see a shocked  Zoey and a blacked register.[color=lightcoral] "You okay?"[/color] she asked, but as the girl had already moved on to assuming it was going to be taken out of her paycheck, Maren then assumed Zoey was fine.[color=lightcoral] "Relax Zoey, they can't charge you for that, it was probably faulty wiring or something. Probably still under warranty. And even if that do, it won't cost more than a couple hundred, a thousand if they demand an upgrade," [/color] Honestly, she didn't see what the big deal was. 

Maren was a bit surprised at the open hostility from Zoey towards Audrey. Zoey has always seemed chill, although Maren almost never saw her outside of the cafe, even though they went to school together.  For all she knew, they were in a blood feud over some boy or something. 

But Audrey didn't seem as bothered and promptly dismissed the girl. 

[color=lightcoral][i]Of course I've looked outside...through a window...from this seat, but outside all the same[/i][/color] thought Maren.  She felt the girl touch her, then pull back almost at once.  Like she was shocked, or...burned? But there wasn't anything around her. [color=lightcoral]"Ah....you all right there Sparks?" [/color] She said, a look of concern for the girls strange behavior flashing across her face.  She reached out to her, her hand touching her arm, trying to steady her.
