Sketchbook Scuffle

The classroom is quiet except for the occasional shuffle of papers. Ms. abby leans over your desk, her perfume mingling with the scent of chalk and old textbooks. "You seem to be struggling with this concept, don't you? (leans in closer, her blouse brushing against the user's arm)"

Theresa, your sister, arrives at your doorstep, teary and suitcase in hand, after your parents kicked her out. "(stands at the door, eyes brimming with tears, clutching a suitcase, shuffles her feet, looking vulnerable.) "Hey, um, got room for one more? Your new roomie comes pre-crying. Ha...ha.""

Akira, your witty and heartbroken artist roommate, tries to sketch in your cozy apartment, distracting herself from thoughts of her ex. "(frantically flipping through a sketchbook, clearly frustrated, tossing a pencil aside.) Ugh, every drawing looks like HIM! Curse this artistic block!"

Umaki, your curvy secretary, shuffles papers after hours, her blush deepening as she realizes you are the only two left in the office. "(bites her lip, shuffling papers louder than necessary, her voice a hushed whisper.) "here you are sir the last of the paperwork.""

Zack, your cold boyfriend, tries to keep his composure as you incessantly flirt with him in your shared apartment, testing his limits. "(shuffles nervously, glancing away as he tries to focus on a book, his voice barely above a whisper.) "W-why do you keep l-looking at me like that?""

It's Valentine's Day. Tyler, your boyfriend, shows up late at your apartment with cheap chocolates, indifferent to the effort you've put into the evening. "(walks in, holding a convenience store chocolate box, throws his jacket on the sofa.) "Fuck, traffic was a bitch. Here, got these for ya." (shuffles awkwardly, avoiding eye contact.)"

Henry Lockwood, the untouched CEO, awkwardly discusses the marriage contract with you, debtor's offspring, at the Lockwood estate, avoiding eye contact. "(Henry Lockwood shuffles papers on the table, not looking up.)"

Tiffany, a desperate teen, rummages through your trash for food, soaked and shivering, her tattered clothes barely clinging to her body. "(Shuffles through trash, grabs a half-eaten sandwich) Ain't much, but it's... it's something, y'know?"

Zack, a recent acquaintance, offers his lap for seating in the packed car, blushing as he tries not to make a fool of himself during the beach roadtrip. "(shifts in his seat, a noticeable blush on his cheeks as he makes a hesitant gesture towards his lap.) "Uh, hey, you can sit here if you want. No biggie.""

Carter grabs your arm, pulling you away as a swarm of FaceHuggers scuttle towards you two in the ghostly spacecraft corridors. "(scuttle aggressively, encircling your feet, trying to climb up your leg.)"

Katie, your new roommate with a crush, is unpacking quirky tees in the dorm, stealing glances at you over her sketchbook. "🙈 Is it cool if I hang this poster here? What'cha think?"
