MY ROOMIE NIGHTMARE 【佐久早 聖臣】

ROOMMATES | ACT XI

INT. UTOKYO'S LIBRARY — EARLY AFTERNOON

SAKUSA's and KOYAMA's hands brushed against each other's as they turned the pages of their notebooks. KOYAMA flinched away, as did SAKUSA. One hated being touched, and the other knew the former hated being touched.

The silence in the library only served as an even bigger element of awkwardness. SAKUSA felt like his skin was on fire, meanwhile KOYAMA felt like her face was on fire.

The lights above them made them feel ten times worse. It was like being singled out by the universe as two awkward idiots.

SAKUSA hated that some part of him found her attractive, but he'd rather die before admitting that. In the meantime, he'd analyze the situation, and weigh the consequences of developing a friendship with the woman.

SAKUSA knew that friendships with initial attraction meant one of two things: you either lose interest, or you fall harder. SAKUSA grimaced.

KOYAMA
Sorry about that
Sakusa-San, I'm
a lefty. I'll just
scoot over a bit.

SAKUSA
I've been told
I'm not the best
at hiding my
displeasure.

SAKUSA
I don't feel sorry
though.

KOYAMA
(Unfazed)
Of course
you don't.

???
Omi-Omi?

KOYAMA's eyes land on a broad shouldered blond with a brunet undercut. Despite wearing a gray oversized hoodie, the fabric still hugged his pectoral muscles and biceps. His widened brown eyes made him look innocent, but once his expression relaxed into an all too natural smirk, KOYAMA deemed him cocky.

SAKUSA
(Annoyed)
Don't call me that.

???
Oi, chill
a bit will ya?
Ye already know
I'm not gonna
stop call in'
ya that, so why
don't cha start
gettin' used t'a
it?

KOYAMA
(Surprised).
That's a cute
dialect.

SAKUSA
(Disgusted)
You think peanuts
for brains over here
sounds cute?

KOYAMA
(Flustered)
nOOOOOoooo...?

SAKUSA
(Snickers).

???
(Teasing)
Who's this pretty
lady you're hangin'
out with, ey Omi-Omi?

???
Can't be yer girlfriend
'cause ya don't like
touch in' anybody.

SAKUSA
(Irritated)
At least I don't get
into stupid one-week
relationships for the
sake of being with
somebody.

KOYAMA
(Stands up from her seat,
and laughs nervously).
Now now you two, uh, can
you guys not roast each other
in a library where everyone
can hear what you guys are
saying?

The boys turn to look at KOYAMA with surprise. The brunette looked genuinely distressed, and they looked back at each other at the same time with a bit of guilt. KOYAMA was unaware that SAKUSA and ATSUMU are occasionally this hostile with each other.

SAKUSA
(Sighs loudly).
Koyama-San, this is
Miya Atsumu. Miya,
this is Koyama Tsuru.

ATSUMU
Oh, this is Cho-San's
younger sister!

KOYAMA
And you're the
annoying meme guy!

SAKUSA
(Laughs under his
breath and tries to
hide his smile with
the sleeve of his
sweater).

ATSUMU
HAAAAAAAH??? WHAT
'CHA JUST CALL ME?!
You— OI SAKUSA WHAT
IS THE MEANIN' of THIS?!

KOYAMA
(Sweat drops).

ATSUMU
ANSWER ME!!

CUT TO:

EXT. HONGO-DORI AVENUE - EARLY AFTERNOON

ATSUMU
Tsu-Chan,
is it really true
that y've
never had boba
before?

KOYAMA
Why would I lie
about that? (raises
an eyebrow).

ATSUMU
I don't know,
what does the internet
call it again?

ATSUMU
Just to be 'quirky'
'cause it became popular.

ATSUMU
You know, "I don't ride
with the rest, I'm ...
different~" (dramatically
flips his imaginary hair).

KOYAMA
(Glances at SAKUSA
as if silently begging
for help).

SAKUSA
(Shrugs, and re-adjusts
his white face mask).

KOYAMA
(Murmur).
traitor.

SAKUSA
(Glares).

KOYAMA
(Raises both eyebrows).

The trio makes a left, and after three minutes, they finally make a stop.

INT. OWLETTE TEA - EARLY AFTERNOON

ATSUMU
Welcome, to your
new addiction.

KOYAMA
(Scrunches up her
eyebrows in confusion).

SAKUSA
(Deadpans with a deadly
aura behind him).
