Shopping Center

"That's unfortunate," Janis said unsure on how to comment on the situation. She wasn't used to just hearing things like that and knowing what to say. She figured it would be better to say something rather than nothing. "Is she just unaware, or is she really mean or something?"

She looked over at takenya feeling sorry for her to hear that but also not knowing what to say to maybe make her feel better instead she just listened to see why her mother was that way too.

'She would probably care more if she wasn't so into herself.
She loves herself more than anything and anyone in the world.'

*Takenya looks up at the two girls, smiling innocently*

'But, atleast I know how to cook, or my brother 'nor I would be alive.'

Janis had to laugh at this part. "I'm sorry. I can't cook to even save my life. My diet besides the cafeteria food comprises of ramen noodles and anything that can be thrown into the microwave!" A few times she wished that she could cook, but she figured that as long as she didn't know how, she would never have to buy expensive food. It was just her optimistic way of thinking.

She laughed at janis.
"haha. It must be nice to cook. Can you cook those really big dishes too?"
Her eyes began to sparkle at this point she always loved seeing people cook and then add those finishing touches to make it so nice.

"Haha. I love the Japanese steak houses. It's so awesome watching them do all the tricks and cook right in front of you. They are extremely expensive and I have only been there twice, but it was awesome!" Thinking about it, made her think about the low on fuel quality of her stomach. Her lunch wasn't the biggest and thinking about steak houses made her hungry for more.

*Takenya laughs at Janis, giggling afterwords and nods to Ain, smiling*

'I experience
with my cooking, but, I let my BROTHER try to see if it tastes good, so
I won't have to suffer. But, so far, they all taste good'

*Takenya chuckled*

(brb. I'm gonna make soup. You guys made me hungry. xD)

(Haha, okay))

((Whoo back. Thank you. Microwaves. I really can't cook...))

( kk lolx )
"That sounds like a good way to test it haha."
"The japanese steak houses sounds like a cool place, ive seen another restaurant do that too. Its really..."
Getting sidetracked in her mind she started thinking of all the different food they had and her stomach lightly growls to her.

"How about we go somewhere to eat?" Janis asked with a bit of a laugh. "I only have ten dollars on me, but I think I can spare it now that I have a job. How about it?" She waved the ten in the air with a hopeful smile of being able to go out and eat. She thought about inviting Ryuu but then decided against it. He probably wouldn't want to hang out with a bunch of girls. One was probably enough for him.

*Takenya Squeals happily and jumps up and down, feeling as though she was Chun-Li from Street Fighter*

'Sure!'

Ain clapped happily to herself nodding and smiling looking at them both.
"I hae at least.."
She dug in her pocket to pull out a five dollar bill and held it out.
"That much i can spare if it isnt enough."
Still nodding her head happily after seeing takenyas reaction.

"Alright. I think there is a Taco bell close to here. I'm not sure yet though since I haven't been around here too much. There food though is usually cheap. I don't know. It's up to you." She smiled and pocketed the money back into her jeans while picking up her bag around her shoulder to get ready to leave.

Ryuu is walking around the mall hands in his pockets looking for the music store.
After he was walked a while he noticed the girls and waved to them if they would notice him.

*Takenya looks at both of them, and lets her hand dive into her
pockets, smiling as she turns her pockets inside-out, revealing nothing
but a nickel*

'Uh oh ... I can't pay along with you, guys ... I
feel so bad. You guys are paying for MY food, also, so, I should be
able to pay for yours.'

*Her smile fades away, feeling horrible*

Janis spotted Ryuu and waved back. She walked past Ain and Takenya and outside of the store. "Hey. Did you just get here or did you decide to be a stalker?" she joked. She waved for Ain and Takenya to see if they were coming over or not.

"We were just here for interviews for a job. I got mine, mostly because I didn't have a phone. Kind of stupid but what ever. I don't know about them though."

She picked her bag up thinking of places cheap and nearby to eat. Also wondering if she should mention she cant eat meat. She didnt want to seem rude so she decided to just deal wherever they went thered be some food for her. She walked over to the two of them.

"Is there a music store around here?" He asked.
"I need new strings for the guitar and for the bass."
He looked around as usual.

*Takenya grabs her pencil and slips it into her binder, running over to the group, following with a smile on her face*

"Isnt Janis-chan paying?"
She grinned.
"I am ony chipping in if it isnt enough takenya-chan....i hope"
She laughed to herself looking at janis for confirmation.

"I'm not sure. I'm not entirely familiar with this mall. I just know that this store sells music. You would have to look around a bit. There are two levels of floors so try the top one." She was still excited for being able to get her first job. It would have been even better if she could work at one of the popular stores that kids her age frequented a lot, but she knew those would be nearly impossible to get into without super strong recommendations. Perhaps later she could get on Ms. Dyer's good side after working for her a while and see what she would say about it. She also didn't want to be separated from her two new friends.

"Allright then.See ya later."
He started walking towards the stairs to the upper level to search the music store from there.He waved to them as a goodbye when he started to walk towards the stairs.

"Bye." She waved with a shrug. She was going to invite him to eat with them, but she guess they could hang out later or something. She turned back to Takenya and Ain. "What? What do you mean I'm paying and you are only chipping in?!" she laughed. "Where do you guys wanna eat?"
