The girls are huddled together on the couch, surrounded by shadows with only the flickering light from the TV screen casting an eerie glow on their faces.
In the movie, the suspenseful music builds up as the doors in the room start slamming shut one by one. The main character, drenched in sweat and overcome by fear, realizes she is trapped with no escape.
Mariz and Gabbie bury their faces in pillows, unable to bear the tension.
The music intensifies even more.
Gabbie lets out a piercing scream.
"Wala pa gani," Maya says trying her best not to laugh.
"NOTHING'S EVEN HAPPENED YET."
"Tan-aw na Gab," Hamza encourages. "Okay na."
"WATCH IT, GAB."
"IT'S SAFE TO WATCH NOW."
"Sure ba?"
"ARE YOU SURE?"
"Sure lage, Gab," Maya reassures. "Mariz, abi ba nako'g ganahan ka'g horror."
"YEAH, GAB."
"MARIZ, I THOUGHT YOU LIKED HORROR MOVIES."
"Ganahan man ko'g horror, mahadlok lang ko," Mariz says quickly.
"I LIKE HORROR MOVIES, I'M JUST SCARED OF THEM."
Gabbie musters up enough courage to take a peek.
Suddenly, a monster shows up on screen in a jump scare.
Gabbie shrieks which, in turn, makes Mariz also scream.
Maya and Hamza burst into fits of laughter, amused at their friends' reactions.
Gabbie wraps her arm around both Hamza and Maya and pulls them in closer. "Dili man siya kataw-anan, gurlz," she says in a high-pitched voice as her friends continue to laugh.
"NOT FUNNY, GURLZ!"
Suddenly, the doorbell rings.
"Wait, ipause sa," Gabbie requests as she gets up from the couch. She makes her way towards the main door.
"WAIT, PAUSE IT."
"Pause? Dili man gihapon mo mutan-aw," Hamza remarks.
"PAUSE? YOU'RE NOT WATCHING IT ANYWAY."
She playfully sticks her tongue out as she turns the knob and opens the door.
"Dili lage mo mahadlok ug horror movies?" Mariz asks them.
"WHY AREN'T YOU SCARED OF HORROR MOVIES?"
Maya and Hamza exchange glances.
"Kabalo man gud ko nga atik lang siya," Hamza says.
