AN: This story takes place after the whole Chase episode; Caleb's younger sister Ella is introduced into the story, even though she's eleven months younger they are still in the same grade. Shortly after the Chase incident Kate and Pouge broke up , she was becoming very suspicious about all the odd things that he was involved with , and decided that it would be better if they weren't together , enter Elizabeth Caldwell, she had been friends with the boys since elementary school , she and Pouge were especially close until they had a bit of a falling out ,while Kate and Pouge were still dating, Kate was jealous of Liz and Pogue's relationship , eventually it all came to a head when Kate told Liz she couldn't hang out with Pouge anymore , therefore forcing Pouge to choose , he tried to remain loyal to both of the women in his life , but Liz, out of anger , told him to forget about it and that he should just forget they were ever friends before he even had a chance to think for a split second. Since Sarah found out about "the Power" Caleb and Sarah's relationship has only gotten stronger, they are now Spencer's 'it' couple much to the distain of one Keria Schneider. They have been dating for five months with no intention of breaking up, ever. After Kate and Pogue broke up, Kate and Sarah tried to remain friends, they still were, but things became more tense and awkward at times making it difficult for their friendship to be as close as it had been earlier in the year.
Chapter 1: Roomies
Ella Danvers walked into her room at Spencer, carrying the bag she had brought home for the Christmas holidays. She noticed something different about the room, for one there was another bed in it, and secondly there were a few boxes and bags sitting on and next to it. This was considerably odd since before the break she'd had a single. She walked over to her bed, put her bag down and started unpacking it, figuring she would meet who ever this stuff belonged to sooner or later. No more than five minutes later a girl with shoulder length reddish brown hair walked in the room with one last duffle bag slung over her arm. Ella turned around when she heard someone walk in. The girl with the red brown hair smiled slightly at her and put the bag down since it seemed to way a considerable amount.
"Hey, I'm Ella Danvers" Ella introduced herself and smiled.
"Yeah, hey I'm Brianna Buckley, but everyone calls me Bree" she replied with a similar smile
"So I guess were roomies" Ella said as she flopped down on her bed
"Yeah, I hope it's cool, I feel kind of bad taking over your single and everything" Bree replied
"Nah, its cool, gets kind of lonely anyway s, so you just transfer in?" Ella asked
"Yeah, just came in from Greenwich Academy in Connecticut." Bree replied
"Hm that's a pretty legit school, what made you leave, if you don't mind me asking?" Ella asked
"Not at all, my parents thought Spencer would be a better fit for me, more connections to Harvard or something like that." Bree said as modestly as she could
"You want to go to Harvard? My brother wants to go there" Ella commented
"Really, that's good to know" Bree responded smiling that someone else had similar goals
"Yeah , his names Caleb , he's the same age as us , I'm sure you'll meet him sooner or later he usually drops by once a day ,make sure I'm still breathing and all that, but now that you're here he won't have to worry about that so much" Ella said and Bree laughed
"So are you guy's twins, because it seems like he's your older brother from the way you describe him?" Bree asked
"No were not twins, he is older, eleven months actually, apparently my parents figured the quicker the better" Ella said half joking half serious, Bree laughed, as she continued to unpack.
"So do you have any siblings?" Ella asked
"Yup, I have an older brother and a younger sister" Bree replied sort of disinterested.
"I take it you don't get along that well" Ella said with a bit of a laugh at Bree's tone
"That's putting it nicely" Bree replied causing Ella to laugh, "My brother, well we used to get along fairly well, he's about four years older than me, and he used to be laid back, and liked to party, but now my dad's sucking him into the family business and he turned into a stiff, like a mini version of my dad, you know" Bree said
"Yeah I got you, how about your sister?" Ella asked kind of enjoying the conversation
"Ugh, don't even get me started, all you need to know is she's in eighth grade and a spoilt brat" Bree said
"Okay, I gotcha, not such a big fan of the little sis, I completely get that" Ella told her.
"So what about you do you and your brother gets along well?" Bree asked
"Yeah ,me and Caleb get along pretty well as long as he's not getting all brother bear on me , he tends to get a bit protective at times , which is a little annoying , but besides that we get along" Ella replied
"So do you have any other siblings?" Bree asked
"Well not exactly" Ella said
"What do you mean, not exactly?" Bree asked
"Well, here I'll lay it out for you; my family along with three other families has lived in Ipswich for like hundreds of years or some crazy shit like that, so all four of our families are pretty close, so technically I only have one brother but basically I have four, although really the only other one who actually acts like my brother is Pouge, Reid and Tyler are more like partners in crime, friends, who never leave me alone" she finished quite quickly
"Huh, so why are Reid and Tyler more like friends than brothers?" Bree asked
"You'll understand once you meet them, speaking of which were all heading down to Nicky's tonight, do you want to come and hang out?" Ella asked
"Uh sure, thanks" Bree replied with a smile
"Sweet, were going to go at like eight that sound good?" Ella asked
"Yeah eight is perfect" Bree said and nodded
"You want to go down stairs and get a snack I'm starving" Ella asked as she got up and made her way towards the door
"Yeah sure" Bree replied, and followed Ella out the door. Thinking how she has just made her first real friend at Spencer , and it looked like she was going to make four more later on that night , whether she liked it or not.
