INT. SCHOOL HALLWAY - DAY Jane, Sam, and Aaron walk through the bustling hallway, laughing and chatting. They come to a stop near their lockers. AARON (looking mischievous) So, Jane, tell me, what's Sam's deepest, darkest fear? SAM Oh no, not this again! Jane rolls her eyes playfully, her face lighting up with anticipation. JANE Come on, Sam! Let's share it with Aaron. It's all in good fun! SAM (slightly hesitant) Okay, fine. But only because I trust you guys. Aaron and Jane exchange sly smiles, ready to hear Sam's secret. AARON (teasingly) Alright, spill the beans, Sam. What's haunting you in the middle of the night? Sam takes a deep breath and looks away, her voice barely above a whisper. SAM Spiders. I'm terrified of them. Aaron's eyes widen, clearly not expecting such a common fear. AARON (surprised) Spiders? Seriously? But they're so tiny! SAM (defensively) That's precisely why they scare me so much! Their eight legs, those beady eyes, and that crawling sensation... Ugh! Jane puts a comforting hand on Sam's shoulder. JANE It's okay, Sam. We all have our fears. What terrifies us doesn't define us. AARON (grinning) Well, now we know what Halloween prank to avoid, right? Jane and Sam laugh, the tension easing. SAM Please, Aaron. Even the thought of a fake spider gives me goosebumps! Jane and Aaron continue to tease Sam, their playful banter echoing through the hallway. FADE OUT.
