SCENE 1 – THE BIG SURPRISE

INT. PODCAST STUDIO – EVENING

The cameras are rolling. Three microphones are placed on a beautiful table. Purple lights glow across the studio walls. Everything looks peaceful, but nobody knows that a huge argument is about to destroy this peaceful atmosphere.

Shayla and Yaya are sitting together, enjoying their podcast interview. They are smiling, laughing, and discussing their personal experiences.

Suddenly, a mysterious figure appears outside the studio door. Nobody notices her.

YAYA: Welcome back, everyone! Today, we are going to discuss some interesting things about our lives, our experiences, and the challenges we have faced.

SHAYLA: Yes! And trust me, today’s conversation is going to be very special. We have so many things to share with our audience.

YAYA: Exactly! Sometimes people judge us without knowing the truth. But today, we are going to speak openly.

Shayla nods and adjusts her microphone. Outside the studio, Amber is watching them through the glass door. Her smile disappears. Her eyes become wide with shock.

SCENE 2 – AMBER’S SHOCKING ENTRY

INT. PODCAST STUDIO – CONTINUOUS

Amber slowly opens the studio door. The sound catches Shayla’s attention. Yaya turns her head. Both girls look surprised.

AMBER: What is going on here? What are you two doing?

YAYA: Amber? Why are you here? Is everything okay?

AMBER: Everything okay? Are you seriously asking me that? Why are you two giving a podcast interview?

SHAYLA: Amber, we are just recording our podcast. What’s the problem?

AMBER: What’s the problem? Who gave you permission to do this?

Yaya looks at Shayla. Shayla takes a deep breath. The peaceful atmosphere is slowly turning into a heated confrontation.

SCENE 3 – THE ARGUMENT BEGINS

YAYA: Listen, Amber. We don’t need your permission to give an interview. This is our podcast, and we can talk about whatever we want.

AMBER: Oh, really? So now you both think you are very important? You can sit here, turn on the cameras, and pretend that everything belongs to you?

SHAYLA: Nobody is pretending anything. We are doing our own work. Why are you creating a scene?

AMBER: Don’t tell me what to do! I came here because I saw both of you sitting together and giving interviews. I want to know why!

YAYA: Because we want to! Is that answer enough for you?

Amber steps closer to the table. Her anger becomes stronger.

AMBER: You think you can become famous without me? You think people will watch your podcast and forget about everything else?

SHAYLA: This is not about you, Amber. Not everything in this world is about you.

SCENE 4 – THE FIRST BIG CONFRONTATION

Amber suddenly moves towards the table and pushes a microphone stand aside. The microphone falls against the table with a loud sound.

YAYA: Amber! What are you doing? Don’t touch our equipment!

AMBER: Then stop doing this podcast! I don’t want to see you two sitting here!

SHAYLA: You cannot come here and order us around! This is our studio!

AMBER: Your studio? Since when? Who do you think you are?

SHAYLA: I am someone who knows how to respect other people. You should learn that first!

Yaya moves beside Shayla. Both girls stand together, facing Amber.

AMBER: So now you both are against me?

YAYA: Nobody is against you. But you cannot disrespect us like this.

SCENE 5 – THE SECRET QUESTION

Amber walks around the table. She looks directly into the camera.

AMBER: Tell me one thing. Were you two planning to talk about me in this interview?

YAYA: What? Why would we talk about you?

AMBER: Because I know how these things work! First, you give an interview. Then you tell everyone your side of the story. And finally, you make someone else look bad!

SHAYLA: Amber, nobody has mentioned your name. You came here yourself and started shouting.

AMBER: Don’t lie to me!

YAYA: We are tired of your accusations. You should listen before making assumptions.

Amber stares at Yaya. Her voice becomes quieter.

AMBER: You really think I came here without knowing something?

SHAYLA: What are you talking about?

Amber smiles slightly. It looks like she is hiding something.

SCENE 6 – THE FIGHT GETS WORSE

Suddenly, Amber grabs a microphone and places it aggressively on the table. Shayla steps forward.

SHAYLA: Put that down! You have already disturbed our recording.

AMBER: I will do whatever I want!

YAYA: No, you won’t! You need to calm down!

AMBER: You are the one who needs to stay quiet!

YAYA: Don’t talk to me like that!

Yaya steps forward, and Shayla moves beside her. Amber refuses to step back. The three girls begin arguing loudly.

SHAYLA: You came here to destroy our podcast!

AMBER: I came here because you both are hiding something!

YAYA: Stop making false accusations!

AMBER: Then answer my question! Why did you start this podcast today?

SHAYLA: Because we wanted to tell our story!

Amber suddenly stops talking.

SCENE 7 – THE CAMERA RECORDS EVERYTHING

The studio has become completely chaotic. The recording camera is still switched on.

Shayla tries to move the microphone back into its original position. Yaya picks up a fallen notebook. Amber continues pacing around the table.

SHAYLA: Amber, this has gone too far. We invited people to watch an interview, not a fight.

AMBER: Then stop recording!

YAYA: No! We are not stopping just because you walked in and started shouting.

AMBER: You will regret this!

SHAYLA: Is that a threat?

AMBER: Take it however you want.

Yaya notices that the red recording light is still blinking.

YAYA: The entire thing is being recorded.

SHAYLA: I know. Don’t worry. Let her speak.

AMBER: What are you two whispering about?

YAYA: Nothing. We are just waiting for you to explain why you are so angry.

AMBER: You really want to know?

SCENE 8 – A SHOCKING REVELATION

Amber slowly pulls out her phone. She unlocks the screen and looks directly at Shayla and Yaya.

AMBER: I didn’t come here just because I saw your podcast.

YAYA: Then why did you come?

AMBER: Because I received something this morning.

SHAYLA: What did you receive?

Amber turns her phone towards them. A video is visible on the screen.

AMBER: Someone sent me this video. And after watching it, I understood everything.

SHAYLA: Amber, whatever someone sent you, you should not believe everything without knowing the truth.

AMBER: Then explain it!

YAYA: We can explain, but you need to stop shouting.

Amber presses the play button. A few seconds of the video play. Suddenly, she pauses it.

AMBER: I never expected this from you.

Shayla becomes completely silent. Yaya looks confused.

SCENE 9 – THE LAST WARNING

The argument has become more personal. Amber places her phone on the table.

SHAYLA: You don’t know the complete story.

AMBER: Then tell me! I am listening!

YAYA: Amber, we were going to explain everything in today’s interview.

AMBER: So you planned to reveal everything without even telling me?

SHAYLA: We didn’t know you would react like this.

AMBER: You should have thought about that before turning on the cameras!

YAYA: We are not afraid of the truth.

Amber looks at her.

AMBER: Good. Because the truth is about to come out.

Suddenly, the studio door opens again. Everyone turns towards the entrance. A person stands outside. Their face cannot be seen clearly.

SCENE 10 – THE FINAL TWIST

The mysterious person walks into the studio. Nobody speaks. Amber picks up her phone and looks at the stranger.

AMBER: You? What are you doing here?

The stranger does not answer immediately. Instead, they place an envelope on the podcast table.

YAYA: What’s inside this?

MYSTERIOUS PERSON: The truth about what happened between all three of you.

Shayla looks at Amber. Amber looks at Yaya. For the first time, all three girls seem equally frightened.

SHAYLA: Amber… did you know about this?

AMBER: No. I swear I didn’t know.

Yaya opens the envelope. Inside is a photograph and a small handwritten note. She reads the first line. Her hands begin to shake.

YAYA: This… this is impossible.

SHAYLA: What does it say?

YAYA: It says that one of us has been lying from the very beginning.

AMBER: Who sent this?

The mysterious person slowly moves towards the camera. The recording screen suddenly goes black.

MYSTERIOUS PERSON: You have only seen the beginning. The real story starts now.

CUT TO BLACK.
