 "Shocking Twist Shayla Invite Amber & Anthony for Lunch 😱 

📖 FULL STORY — LONG CONVERSATION

Scene:

Shayla’s apartment. A sunny afternoon. She has invited Amber and Anthony over for lunch… but neither of them knows why.

Shayla:

Okay… deep breath. You both made it. Thank you for coming.

Amber:

Girl, you sounded weird on the phone. I thought something was wrong.

pauses

…Why is Anthony here?

Anthony:

I could ask the same thing. Shayla said it was “important.” This… feels like a setup.

Shayla:

It’s not a setup. I promise. I just—there’s something we all need to talk about.

Amber:

All? Since when do the three of us have an “all”?

Anthony:

Exactly. We’re not exactly a group project.

Shayla:

awkward smile

Can we all sit first? Please?

They sit at Shayla’s small dining table. Tension is basically seasoning the air.

Amber:

So… are we eating or talking first?

Shayla:

Talking. Definitely talking.

Anthony:

Bad sign.

Amber:

Terrible sign.

Shayla:

Okay, look. I invited you both because… something happened. And I didn’t want to tell either of you without the other present.

Amber:

Shayla, just say it. You’re scaring me.

Shayla:

Alright. So… last Saturday… I found out—

Anthony:

Wait.

leans forward

Before you say anything, I just need to know: am I in trouble?

Shayla:

…Possibly.

Amber:

Oh, this is about him. I knew it.

Anthony:

Hold on! I didn’t do anything—did I?

Shayla takes a deep breath… big dramatic pause…

Shayla:

Last Saturday, both of you texted me—

Separately.

About the same thing.

And neither of you knew the other texted me.

Amber:

What? I only asked you about the party.

Anthony:

And I asked you about the lost keys. That’s unrelated.

Shayla:

Yeah. Except you BOTH asked me, “Did you see what REALLY happened at the end?”

Amber:

…The end of what?

Shayla:

Exactly. You didn’t specify.

Anthony:

Wait—

eyes widen

Are you saying—

Shayla:

Yes.

I know about the argument at the hallway.

I know you two were together Saturday night.

Amber:

Shayla—

I swear, it’s not what it looks like.

Anthony:

We didn’t want you to freak out.

Shayla:

Why? Because you thought I’d find out you’ve been secretly talking behind my back?

Amber:

We weren’t hiding anything on purpose.

Anthony:

We were trying to figure something out before we told you.

Shayla:

Told me what?

Amber and Anthony exchange a look. A very nervous look.

Amber:

Okay. Fine. We’ll say it.

Anthony:

But Shayla, sit down first. Seriously.

Shayla:

I am sitting.

Amber:

Right. Good.

So… remember the package that got delivered to your door last week?

Shayla:

Yeah?

Anthony:

The one you didn’t order?

Shayla:

…Yes?

What about it?

Amber:

Well… it wasn’t delivered by accident.

Shayla:

…Then who sent it?

Anthony:

We did.

Shayla:

YOU WHAT—

Amber:

Just listen!

The Twist

Anthony:

We sent it because… we thought someone was watching you.

Shayla:

Watching me?

Why would you think that?

Amber:

Because of the guy in the hoodie. The one we’ve both seen near your building at night.

Shayla:

There’s no guy—

pauses

Wait. How do you both know about that?

Anthony:

Because we followed him once.

Shayla:

YOU WHAT?!

Amber:

We were worried!

Every time we visit, he’s lurking around like he’s waiting for something. Or someone. And when that weird package showed up, we thought maybe he left it.

Shayla:

So you sent a fake package to… what? Test him?

Anthony:

Basically, yeah.

Amber:

We wanted to see if he’d take the bait and come closer.

Shayla:

That’s insane!

What was even IN the package?

Anthony:

Uh…

A GPS tracker.

Shayla:

WHAT?!

Amber:

Look, this is the part where you either thank us or yell at us.

We expected yelling.

Shayla:

No—

No, I’m past yelling, I’m—

Why didn’t you tell me any of this earlier?!

The REAL Shocking Twist

Anthony:

We didn’t want to scare you until we knew for sure.

Amber:

But now you need to know the rest.

Shayla:

There’s more?!

Amber:

Yes.

When we checked the tracker last night…

Anthony:

Someone moved the package.

Shayla:

…Okay? Maybe a neighbor knocked it over?

Amber:

Not exactly.

Someone moved it…

to your bedroom window.

Shayla:

—stares at them, horrified—

My… window?

Anthony:

Yeah.

He touched it.

We saw it on the tracker path.

Amber:

And that’s why we’re here now. Because we think he’s coming back.
