"Hmmm, how about later? We don't wanna take anything serious yet, so we'll take silly pics during the movie!" Gabriella chuckled.
"Yeah!" "Sounds fun!" "Ok sure." The girls all called out together.
Emma had also agreed, but still felt odd about everything.
"Hmm, maybe hanging out with my friend will get me outta this funk." She thought with a smile as she followed her friends in search of some killer dresses.

"Ugh, we are NOT watching that." Jummi scoffed, not even looking up from her phone, continuing to scroll from her place on the bean bag chair. She tugged slightly on her braided hair with a twinge of worry in her face.
"Come on Mimi it's soooo good." Alejandra begged. "It's like, all from this deaf girl's perspective, and she can't hear the killer, so she like, has to figure it out, comprende?" She eagerly explained, leaning closer and closer to her friend.
"Ay, don't botter her lassie." Tara interjected, pulling up her pajama pants around her waist while she walked in the room with a bowl of popcorn. "Mimi HATES scary movies."
"Yeah, she's like, way too much of a scaredy cat for that stuff." Rhianna agreed as she walked in behind Tara with two more large bowls.
"Shut, up." Jummi snapped, throwing a pillow jokingly towards Rhianna who dodged it whilst still laughing.
"Come on Mimi we all know you." She giggled, sitting tightly next to a now blushing Tara. "We'll start the movie and then you'll curl up into a little ball in a blanket and start whimpering in Japanese."
"Ok ok come on girls." Gabriella interjected from a sofa chair, wearing a large jersey belonging to her boyfriend which barely fit past her thighs and just covered her undies. "We all have to agree. Or do you want a repeat of that night on Freshman year?" She asked.
"God Gabby, you're never gonna let me live that down are you?" Emma giggled, finally feeling better after hanging out all day with her friends. She barely even remembered why she was upset before.
"No, we won't girl." Alejandra added, stretching out in her nightie to lean slightly Tara's lap. The group loved teasing Tara, mostly because they wanted her to just come out already, but also for a little self-esteem inflation.
Tara shimmied slightly then interjected.
"H-how about a comedy yeah?" She suggested. "We could all use a good laugh."
"Hmm, maybe, I was thinking more romance." Rhianna sighed.
"Ugh, get a boyfriend already hoe." Jummi chuckled.
"Uh, how about YOU ask out Tyrone already?" Alejandra teased. Everyone stifled their giggles and Jummi's eyes rolled.
Emma was enjoying this, smiling away at the teasing. She was about to bring up some gossip when her heart suddenly sunk. Next to Gabriella and Rhianna on a small side table was the camera from before. She still couldn't remember why it worried her, but seeing it again reminded her of before.
"How about, we take some pics first?" Gabriella suggested.
"Ugh, no I look disgusting right now." Rhianna scoffed.
"Y-yeah, maybe we shouldn't..." Emma agreed.
"Oh really, come now chicas, you were the one who found it, no backing out now. These'll juts be for our memories!" Alejandra laughed.
Emma was worried, but what was she supposed to say? "Sorry guys, we can't use it, I have a bad feeling in my head? Ugh no that's stupid!" Emma thought, desperately trying to explain her feelings.
"Ok, I say we start with a group shot." Gabriella said. "Everyone get on the big couch so I can get in the shot using the mirror."
Everyone quickly piled in. Tara got smushed, Jummi reluctantly squeezed next to Alejandra who welcomed her friend in with a hug, and Emma slowly but reluctantly moved onto the ground in front of Rhianna. "Look Em, you're worried over nothing. It's literally a camera. You just had some headache or something before. There is NOTHING to worry about." She told herself.
"Ok, say cheer!" Gabriella called out.
"Cheer!" They all called.
