A similar story to my Housemates one but with a different plot (hopefully) and a different OC. I hope you enjoy because I was seriously considering revising Housemates but I couldn't really be bothered.

Chapter one

She flipped through the newspaper quickly and came to the personal ads section. Her brown eyes skimmed over the page and she found what she was looking for, it was raining outside and she was only in a phone booth with a suitcase squished into the corner. It was difficult to hear anything the person on the other end was saying, "Hi! I'm wonderin' bout' that ad in the newspaper, the one bout' wanting a roommate that could help with bills and whatnot!" She yelled closing her eyes and jumping as lightening illuminated the dark sky.

"Can you stop yelling please," the voice on the other end sounded bitter and Bellatrix flinched at the tone.

"Terribly sorry but it's thunderin' n' lightenin' out here," she said a bit softly this time, her hair was clinging to her face as the water droplets ran off her nose and chin.

"Why the hell are you outside?" the voice asked incredulous.

"Just for the bleedin' heck of it," Bellatrix snapped feeling irritated that the person on the other line was wasting time, "listen mate alright, it's cold, it's stormin' and I have no place to stay, what's happenin' with this roommate business?" she asked fiddling around in her pocket for some extra change and putting them in the phone.

"Can you pay bills? Do you even have a job?"

"I'm rich, I'll tell ya' that alright, now can I come or what?" She was really getting frustrated, she was cold and was terrified of lightening, "come on mate its cold and I hate storms."

"Where are you?" It was someone on the phone now, a much kinder person, "don't walk here or anything we'll come pick you up."

"A phone booth on the corner of…" she glanced up and squinted her eyes to look at the street sign, "Christie Avenue," she said and then she heard a click meaning the end of her call. "What no!" she cried digging through her soggy pockets and pulling out lolly wrappers and everything that wasn't money. Finding no spare change she muttered curses under her breath and sat down on the bottom of the phone booth. Ten minutes later she had jumped about a foot in the air when someone went banging on the glass; it was a black haired boy, a very handsome black haired boy at that. "Can I help you?" she asked edgily, her brown eyes distrusting.

"You the girl that called about the house?" he asked trying to wipe his wet hair from his face.

"Yes…"

"Then come on," he leaned down and picked up the bludging suitcase, "I'm Ray Kon one of the friends of Kai Hiwatari, the guy you're staying with.

"Bellatrix Craig," she replied following him to a blue car, she looked to the sky and whimpered as she waited for Ray to unlock the car.

"Afraid of a lighting and thunder?" he asked as he noticed her staring up at the sky through the window of the car.

"Bad memories," Bellatrix closed her eyes at the loud bang from the sky and shook her head, "I'm terribly sorry about havin' you to come out at this hour, with the storm and such." She said softly, "I didn't really plan on it, I was plannin' on calling tomorrow but there was a…change of plans you could say."

"It's quite alright I just finished work when I received the call, hey you're not from around here are you?" Ray took a sidewards glance at her as he drove towards his friend's house, soon he noticed her shiver so he turned the heat up and smiled. "Your accent of the way you don't say the end of a word, it seems like you're not from around here."

"I've been livin' here since I was born; I just speak differently than most people." Bellatrix shrugged and ran her fingers through her black hair, "I really do appreciate this."

"It's quite alright picking up women for my friends, it's a normal routine of mine," he smiled pleasantly and drummed his fingers on the steering wheel, "my friend made you sound so much ruder."

"I happen to get rude when I'm in a particular mood," she sent her brown eyes at him and then took in his full appearance. He was tall and muscular not thin like most guys she knew, he had long black hair tied loosely in a ponytail and bright amber eyes, almost catlike in the sense that they stood out clearly in the dark. From what she could see he was Asian with tan skin, probably from all the working out he did in the sun.

"I don't appreciate being studied you know," he said wryly.

"Sorry, just wanted to get a closer look so I knew what to tell the FBI if you're really a kidnapper." He smirked and shrugged and Bellatrix just smiled looking out of the window.

"Here we are," he said pulling up into the driveway where two cars were also. Bellatrix took her bags and got out of the car closing the door softly, "this is Kai Hiwatari's house where you'll be living so get used to it because it's pretty big."

"Seen bigger," she mumbled walking up the stairs with her suitcase clutched in her hand. Ray shrugged and opened the door revealing a large foyer area where the main staircase was, the walls were a light cream colour and the tiles in the foyer a dark blue, a mirror stood opposite her with a table underneath which was laden with keys and letters, a coat rack to the side and a heap of shoes underneath.

"Guys she's here," Bellatrix turned around and faced the group of boys as they watched her curiously, "this is Bellatrix Craig from the phone booth."

A blue haired boy and a blonde boy ran forwards and started introducing themselves to the wary eighteen year old. "I'm Tyson Granger and this is Max Tate my accomplice, I wish you luck in your attempt to live with Kai Hiwatari." He said excitedly as he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards another blue haired boy, "this is Kai and that one there is Kenny but we just call him Chief."

Bellatrix's eyes roamed over the blue haired boy that was still holding her hand, he wasn't as tall at Ray but still tall none the less. His hair was also long, tied in a pony tail and hidden beneath a baseball cap; his eyes were brown with a hint of red.

The blonde was as tall as Tyson with blonde hair and bright blue eyes, he had freckles running over his nose and a bright smile on his face, something about him made her feel cheery and more at ease.

Chief was the shortest; he seemed to be the more mature one, at least other then the Kai guy. He had ruffled auburn hair and brown eyes hidden behind glasses, he was the only one wearing a buttoned up shirt which wasn't tucked into his pants but his tie was undone and hanging loosely around his neck.

The guy beside him was Kai, the guy she would be living with, the guy she was talking on the phone with. He was rather tall and foreboding for lack of a better word. He had two toned blue hair, messy and longish. Behind the blue bangs that he kept blowing out of his face were his mahogany eyes, dark and empty, to Bellatrix he didn't seem like a very nice guy.

"Hello, sorry about everythin' and such but…I really do appreciate it," Kai snorted and turned away leaving Bellatrix glaring spitefully at his back. "Well you're a lovely bunch of sunshine and rainbows," she said and then turned to Tyson and tilted her head, "so…Tyson is there a place for me to dry up and shower maybe?"

"Yea sure, before that though we'll show you your room," he grabbed her hand and lead her up the stairs to an almost empty room; it had a bed, wardrobe and desk nothing much but just that.

Bellatrix tsked and mumbled something about the room needing some homey touches, "thanks, I'll um…come down if I feel like it." She shrugged and smiled and turned towards the bathroom opposite her room.

"Alright then, we'll be here the whole night just so you know!" He called out to her retreating back, he saw her nod her head and left with Max where he could continue his game of Tekken with his friends.

Sighing Bellatrix locked the door and turned on the shower, she looked dreadful and her arm was in so much pain. "Bloody hell," she murmured as she inspected the damage to her arm, "next time mum why don't you just chuck a frickin' knife instead," she carefully stripped and stepped in the shower allowing the warm water to wash away the dry blood on her arm.

After her shower she went to the end table in the hall where she noticed a phone, dialling in her brother's number she leaned against the wall playing with her wet locks. "Hello Peter, listen do you think tomorrow mornin' you could drop off my belongin's please, I'd really appreciate it." She sounded so hopeful, her brother was her last hope if he wouldn't do this she would have to step back into her mother's house and get her things while her mother hammered on about something or other. "You will, oh Peter I love you thankyou so much, I'm at number eight Hollows Lane."

Putting the phone down she soon retreated back to her room where she started unpacking the little belongings that she had packed with her. Her arm was bandaged in some cloth she found in the cupboard but it still stung every time she moved it. "Hey what happened to your arm?" turning around she greeted Max.

"Oh it's nothing Max..." he nodded his head smiling that it was indeed his name and stepped in the room and lifted the arm to his blue eyes.

"You were cut," he said peeking under the bandages, "this bandage is insufficient did you clean it? Oh don't answer that you just had a shower, follow me I just came back from my classes an hour ago," he pushed her out of her room and walked her to the lounge which had the couches pulled out and clothes scattered everywhere. "Our weekly sleepovers," he said nodding at the mess, "sorry about it."

"Quite alright," Bellatrix replied looking amused at Tyson who was glaring heavily at the wall while he was on the phone. She noticed Kai lying on the couch holding a book in his left hand while his right arm was slung over his head. Ray was sitting on the floor leaning against the couch lazily as he watched something on the television and Kenny was on his laptop. Ray then looked up in interest and watched as Max made her sit on the arm rest of the couch, which was greatly aggravating Kai.

Max then busied himself with his bag and pulled out some real bandages, "that's quite a nasty cut," he noticed as he pulled off the old bandages and started wrapping it up again but this time properly and expertly.

"Your studyin' to be a nurse, aren't you?" Bellatrix could tell at the books slipping out of his bag.

"Yea, do you go uni or do you have a job?" Max asked leaning back and admiring his work.

"Yea, I'm doin' Media studies and I have a job on the radio, DJ Trix," Bella shrugged and looked her arm over, "thanks Max," she smiled and stood up and jumped back instantly as Tyson's face popped up. "Ah…hi?"

"I never knew DJ Trix was a girl and you!" he smiled and then started complimenting her wonderful choice of music.

"Thanks…really Tyson…but half the time you're just pushin' a button and sayin' thin's like 'and comin' in at twenty one in the Top Forty Countdown When I'm Gone by Eminem.' Our radio station is all done by students at the University there is no adult apart from our teacher."

"So that means we kind of like walk past you everyday because we go to that uni." Ray piped up looking over at her.

"I guess but I might get goin' you now, I'm a bit tired." She smiled at them and made her exit through the double doors, sighing she jumped on her bed exhausted and instantly fell asleep.
