(They both close their books; there really isn't much information in this book.)
Aayan: "There isn't much of anything in here."
Zohan: "Let's do one thing: let's go back to the spot where Arya and Hena fell and take a look."
Aayan: "Yeah, alright. Come on, let's go."
(Just then, Sufiya stabs Zohan with a knife.)
Arya: "Ah... ah... ah!"
(Arya wakes up with a start.)
Arya: "What the hell is this? Why did I have a dream like that? They've already left. Man, why did I have such a terrible nightmare? Was I just overthinking things? But Sufiya told Hena to stay safe, so why did I dream about Zohan getting stabbed? And why did I dream that Zohan likes me—even though he's never actually shown any sign that he does?"
"My head is throbbing... Ah... ah..."
(Just then, the doorbell rings; Arya opens the door.)
Arya: "Mom? You're here now?"
Arya's Mom: "Why? Can't I be here?"
Arya: "No, Mom, it just feels really strange. First that TV incident, and now this dream... I'm really scared, Mom."
(Arya hugs her mother.)
Arya's Mom: "Honey, Come on, let's go inside."
Arya: "But, Mom..."
Arya's Mom: "Tell me, what did you see on the TV?"
Arya: "Mom, the news was on, and the reporter on the screen was staring right at us. That's why Hena and Aayan got scared—but I didn't. I don't know how, but I just drifted off and fell asleep."
Arya's Mom: "Show me—where is it?"
(Arya turns on the TV.)
Arya: "Look, Mom! He's still staring!" (The reporter laughs)
Arya's Mom: "Sweetheart, they were just pulling a prank. They wanted to scare the people who woke up late—look how much the views have shot up!"
Arya: "Mom, I was really scared!"
Arya's Mom: "It's alright, dear. Come here."
(Arya's Mom hugs Arya)
Arya: "Mom, when will Dad be back?"
Arya's Mom: "Yes, dear—he'll be here in just a little while."
(There is a knock at the door)
