MY ROOMIE NIGHTMARE 【佐久早 聖臣】

DISHES | ACT XXII

INT. UTOKYO's LIBRARY — EARLY AFTERNOON

KOYAMA had gone for a more feminine aesthetic today. The long haired brunette had gained inspiration from her best friend, YACHI. KOYAMA used a small blueberry hair clip YACHI gave her as a gift. The brunette used it to make a half-up half-down hair style.

KOYAMA wore a long and simple baby blue summer dress, of which the elegance came from the design of the one-shoulder neckline. To complete the look, she wore a pair of white strapped sandals.

Although her outfit was simple, KOYAMA still felt self-conscious and thought she was overdressed; the stares of multiple strangers throughout the day didn't help her case of paranoia either.

???
Tsuru Senpai?!

???
Tsuru-San!

KOYAMA
(Gawking).
Semi-san?
Tsu-kun?

SEMI
Didn't think I'd
see TsuTsu together
again after you left
Miyagi.

GOSHIKI and KOYAMA glared at SEMI as he called them by the combination of their names.

GOSHIKI
Stop calling us that.

SEMI
It's cute though.

GOSHIKI
(Blushes).
It sounds like you're
putting us in one of
those, what do they call
them?

KOYAMA
(Giggles).
Ship names?

GOSHIKI
Y-yeah.

KOYAMA
I don't see
it that way.
I also think
it's cute.

SEMI
Thank you.

KOYAMA
No problem, plus, I think
Semi-San knows I see you as
a baby brother so he wouldn't
call us that on purpose if he
had ulterior motives,
right Semi-San?

GOSHIKI
("KO"'d by Koyama's
brutal friend-zone).

SEMI
Right!

SEMI
(Nudges Goshiki).
Earth to my buddy
Goshiki!

GOSHIKI
(Glares at Semi).
Dang it, I'm fine.

KOYAMA
(Confused).

SEMI
(Chuckles).
Don't worry about it
Tsuru-San, Goshiki's just
worried about his piles
of biology homework.

KOYAMA
Whose class do
you have Tsu-Kun?

GOSHIKI
(Rubs the back of
his neck).
Tsuruga Sensei, you?

KOYAMA
Oh, I do too!

GOSHIKI
(Excited)
What? Really?!
Where do you sit?

KOYAMA
Third row up front.

GOSHIKI
(Laughs).
I sit at the very back.

KOYAMA
Ohhh, makes sense
that we hadn't seen
each other then.

GOSHIKI
Want to start sitting
together? I could really
use the extra help in
class.

KOYAMA
(Happy)
Sure! I'd
love to.

SEMI
Nice kill.

KOYAMA
Eh?

GOSHIKI
(Flustered)
Ignore him
Tsuru Senpai.

SEMI
Well, it was nice seeing
you around Tsuru-San.
Hopefully we'll have the
pleasure of running into
each other more often!
We're meeting up with Tendou
and we're already running a
bit late, so we have to go!

KOYAMA
(Sad)
Aw, that's alright.
I'll see you guys another
day, promise we'll hang
out soon, alright?
(Smile).

GOSHIKI
(Excited)
Of course!

SEMI
(Playful)
Anything for you
Tsuru-San!

KOYAMA
Alright you clown,
leave before my fist
meets your face for
daring to mock me.

SEMI
GOSH, fine, still
as violent as I
remember. Let's go
Goshiki!

KOYAMA
(Giggles).
Later Semi-San!
Later Tsu-Kun!

SEMI
(Grins).
Later Tsuru-San!

GOSHIKI
Later Tsuru Senpai!

As the duo made their exit, KOYAMA turned toward her open textbook and her notes. Motivating herself to continue her homework, KOYAMA picked up her mechanical pencil, only to be startled by GOSHIKI's distant voice.

GOSHIKI
(Shout)
YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL
TODAY TSURU SENPAI!

KOYAMA's eyelashes fluttered once, and then her expression froze as her eyes widened and her ears reddened. KOYAMA's glossy pink lips parted, only by a fraction, and the taste of strawberry flavored lip gloss invaded her tastebuds.

Soon enough, her shock subsided as GOSHIKI ran out of the library, and her lips closed tightly, before an enormous smile took over her features.

Unbeknownst to the brunette, SAKUSA entered the library, and became witness of her award winning smile.
