The answer is:

The group of friends do not think they can finish painting the stars before Terry returns .

In the excerpt from "The Thing about Terry," the group of friends work in a hurry for four hours so that they finish painting the stars in Terry's room before she arrives home. As a matter of fact, they intend to hide in the closet to see Terry's reaction to their work and surprise her.
