Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: A New Beginning?

Farewell at home town!

Setting: Noah's small house in kottayam. Noah stands by the door, holding his bag while his sister, emma, looks on worriedly. Her boyfriend is sprawled on the couch eating chips.

Narration (Noah's Inner Thoughts):

"I've been waiting for this day. Freedom, independence... no more awkward silences at home.

Except now that it's here, I feel like I'm running away. Great start, noah."

Emma: "You packed everything? Clothes? Charger? Toothpaste?"

Noah: (rolling his eyes) "Yes, sis. I'm 18, not 8."

Jake: (munching chips) "Good. Don't come crying back when you can't handle the city. It's not for village boys."

Noah: (muttering under his breath) "Neither is this house for decent people."

Noah hugs emma awkwardly, avoiding jake's smirk. As he walks out, he hears jake whisper

loudly:

Jake: "Bet he gets scammed within an hour!"

Narration (Noah's Inner Thoughts):

"Joke's on him. I don't have enough money to get scammed."

: Arrival in kochi

Setting: The bustling city of kochi. Noah drags his suitcase down the crowded streets, narrowly

avoiding scooters and cars.

Narration (noah's Inner Thoughts):

"City: Where traffic rules are optional, and honking is a language. Welcome to my new life."

Noah finally reaches his apartment building, a modest place with peeling paint and an old

nameplate that reads: "Dream Nest."

Noah: (sarcastically) "Dream Nest? More like Slightly Better Than Homeless."

The landlord greets him briefly, handing over the keys with a rushed warning.

Landlord: "By the way, the apartment is for partners. Enjoy!"

Noah: (frowning) "Partners? What does that mean?"

The landlord is already walking away, waving without answering.

Noah: "This feels like one of those scams jake would laugh about. Great."

: Hannah Arrives

Setting: noah is unpacking in the living room, arranging his books and neatly folding his clothes.

Suddenly, there's loud banging at the door.

He opens it to see Hannah, who bursts in like a tornado. She's dragging an enormous suitcase

with stickers that say "Born to Shine" and "#YOLO."

Hannah: "Hey, partner! I'm Hannah. I'll be your roommate-slash-life coach-slash-new best

friend!"

Noah: (blinking) "Roommate? What?!"

Hannah breezes past him, dumping her suitcase in the middle of the room and flopping onto the

couch.

Hannah: "The landlord didn't tell you? This place is for partners. You know, like couples! But don't worry, I'm single and fabulous."

Noah: (muttering) "This can't be happening."

Hannah: (laughing) "Cheer up! You look like someone stole your lunch money."

Noah tries to explain, but Hannah cuts him off every time with cheerful remarks:

Noah: "I think there's been a—"

Hannah: "Misunderstanding? Nope. Fate brought us together."

Noah: "But I didn't—"

Hannah: "Oh, don't worry! I'm super low–maintenance. You'll barely notice me!"

As she says this, she unpacks loudly, spilling clothes, makeup, and snacks all over the room.

Noah stands frozen, clutching his head.

Noah: (to himself) "Barely notice? She's a walking carnival."

: Dinner Shenanigans

Setting: noah sits at the dining table with a simple plate of rice and curry. Hannah plops down

across from him with a mountain of chips, chocolates, and juice boxes.

Hannah: "So, noah, tell me. What's your deal? Broody introvert? Secret romantic? Or

mysterious loner with a tragic past?"

Noah: (choking on his food) "What?! None of those!"

Hannah: (grinning) "Hmm, definitely broody. Don't worry, I'll fix that."

Noah tries to ignore her, but Hannah keeps asking rapid-fire questions.

Hannah: "Favorite color? Biggest fear? Do you snore? Oh, wait, are you a sleepwalker?!"

Naoh: (muttering) "I fear loud roommates..."

: First Night Chaos

Setting: noah lies in bed, staring at the ceiling. He finally closes his eyes when loud music

blares from the living room.

He storms out to find Hannah dancing in pajamas, holding a hairbrush as a microphone.

Noah: "What are you doing?!"

Hannah: "Midnight karaoke! Wanna join?"

Noah: (deadpan) "No."

Hannah: "Suit yourself. But you're missing out."

As she twirls, she trips over her own suitcase and falls, landing in a pile of snacks. Noah can't

help but let out a snort.

Hannah: (grinning, still on the floor) "See? You can smile! Progress already."

Naoh: "This is going to be a nightmare."

𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹

Split-screen:

Noah lying in bed, muttering, "Why me?"

Hannah happily snacking in the living room, humming a random tune.

Hannah (off-panel): "Hey, noah! Do you think ghosts live here? Just curious!"

Noah: (groaning) "I'd rather deal with ghosts than this roommate."
