The pacing of events heightens the tension because the group of friends has a fixed amount of time to finish painting the stars in Terry's room. Terry is going to return to her room in only four hours, so the group of friends only has this short amount of time to finish. They are excited to see Terry's reaction, so they hide in the closet and wait for her to come back once. However, because they know that she will be back soon, they know they need to finish quickly. They are unsure if they will be able to do it which causes them to be nervous.
