ROOMIES

WRITTEN BY WILLIAM X. FRY


INT. PSYCHOLOGY CLASS - DAY

Andrew sits in his psychology class surrounded by other students. The professor stands at the front.

ANDREW VOICEOVER
Two days into my first semester of college. So far, so good. All my classes are great, Sarah and I are friends for now, if I play my cards right maybe we can be more. I got an A on my Political Science quiz. So far, so good.

PROFESSOR BROWN
Mr. Evans.

ANDREW
Huh?

PROFESSOR BROWN
Could you answer the question?

ANDREW
Uhhhhhhhhh Freud?

PROFESSOR BROWN
Uh no. Freud is not the answer to when the test is. Freud is not always the answer.

ANDREW VOICEOVER
{Sigh} Like I said. So far, so good.

INT. DORM HALLWAY - DAY

Andrew walks down the hallway of dorms.

ANDREW VOICEOVER
Ah yes. After a day of hard classes, the college student only has one place where he can unwind. His dorm room. A place to do homework, make out with your girlfriend, or just take a nap.

Andrew reaches his dorm and enters. The dorm is a mess. Cans of energy drinks and empty pizza boxes litter the floor along with dirty laundry. Edison sits at his desk watching youtube videos.

ANDREW VOICEOVER
Unfortunately, you have to share that space with a roommate. And my roommate is a slob.

INT. DORM - DAY

Andrew picks up some trash.

ANDREW
Have you thought about picking up some trash?

EDISON
Why?

ANDREW
I don’t know. In case we have company?

EDISON
You sound like a suburban housewife.

ANDREW
Look man, what if you bring a girl here? What if I bring a girl here?

Edison laughs.

ANDREW
What?

EDISON
I’ve already brought five girls here.

ANDREW
When?

EDISON
During your Political Science class. Also, who do you plan on bringing to our dorm?

ANDREW
A girl.

EDISON
Who?

ANDREW
Sarah.

EDISON
You mean the Sarah who you’ve been meaning to ask out but every time you do you say something completely off subject.

ANDREW
I do not.


FLASHBACK

Andrew and Sarah walk to class.

ANDREW
Hey so would you um would you um like to…

SARAH
Like to what?

ANDREW
Go to class?

Sarah gives Andrew a confused look.

PRESENT DAY

EDISON
Look man all I’m saying is that it’s been two weeks and you haven’t even asked her out. Do you even know if she’s single?

Andrew doesn’t answer.

EDISON
You don’t know if she’s single.

ANDREW
It hasn’t come up.

EDISON
What do y’all talk about?

ANDREW
School.

EDISON
Wow.

ANDREW
Look the point is that I might bring her here and I don’t want her to see this dump.

EDISON
Tell you what. You gather the courage to ask her out and bring her here then I’ll clean up.

ANDREW
Fine.

Andrew leaves.

EDISON
He’s never gonna do it.

THE NEXT DAY

INT. POLITICAL SCIENCE CLASS - DAY

Andrew and Sarah sit next to each other in their Political Science class.

PSCI PROFESSOR
We’ll end there for today. Remember, quiz next class.

Andrew and Sarah get up to leave.

SARAH
Ugh I’m gonna fail that quiz.

ANDREW
We could study together?

SARAH
You know the material?

ANDREW
Yeah.

SARAH
Ok yeah that sounds great. Wanna go to the library?

ANDREW
Actually, I was thinking my dorm.

SARAH
Oh ok. Great.

ANDREW
Cool.

Andrew and Sarah exit the classroom. Andrew pulls out his phone and sends a text.

INT. DORM - DAY

Edison is sitting on his bed making out with a girl. His phone buzzes.

EDISON
Hold on.

Edison looks at his phone. His eyes widen.

EDISON
Oh crap.

GIRL
What?

EDISON
You gotta go.

Edison starts hastily picking up trash

GIRL
What?

EDISON
My roommate is bringing someone here. Here take this.

Edison hands her a load of trash and ushers her out. He slams the door. He gets back to cleaning. While he’s cleaning, Andrew and Sarah enter the dorm building. They climb the stairs and enter the hallway. They walk down the hallway. When they reach Andrew and Edison’s dorm, Edison exits with his backpack.

EDISON
Hey bro. I’m going to class. Bye.

Edison walks away in a hurry.

Andrew and Sarah enter the dorm. It is immaculate. Andrew has a stunned look on his face.

SARAH
Should we get started?

END.
