A.N.: Yes sir, it's finally happened, Living Arrangements finally has a sequel! Scary thought isn't it? Now I'd like to thank everyone who has stuck with us through an entire story and has made the jump onto this one, you guys all rock.

If you're wondering why L.A. ended so abruptly, it's because Katie and I were getting kinda antsy about moving onto the next story which was making it harder for us to write chapters that really weren't for anything other than being stupid. We were starting to get worried that if we waited too long we'd lose any inspiration we had for school related chapters and updates would slow way down, or worse, stop all together.

Moving on from that, other perspectives might pop up more frequently in this story but in L.A but that'll make it more fun right? We think so.

So, without (much) further ado, here's Chapter One!

Brooke's Words of Wisdom (a.k.a funny quotes to brighten your day) : There are very few personal problems that cannot be solved through a suitable application of high explosives. (personal motto)


Brooke

My phone started going off next to me causing me to groan as I opened it, resisting the desire to throw the damn thing out the window. It was a text from Katie telling me to 'get me lazy-ass butt out of bed' before she 'knocked my mother fucking ass into next week'. Obviously someone hadn't had their coffee yet. Putting my phone back on the night stand, I decided not to tempt my bad tempered friend and rolled out of bed.

Stepping out of my room I see one of my best friends Fran doing the same thing, clearly I wasn't the only one who had gotten Katie's text. Even though she didn't live with us, Fran often spent the night, even on weekdays. Smiling sleepily, I waved lazily to friend before stepping over to the foot of the stairs.

"We're up!" I yelled down to Katie before she had a chance to send another text.

"You better be; we're leaving at seven thirty, with or without you." She yelled back, sounding slightly nicer than her texts had sounded.

"Yeah, yeah." Fran waved our friend off as she walked into the bathroom and shut the door. Snickering slightly I walked back into my room to get ready seeing as I obviously wasn't going to be the first one to use the bathroom. Fran, who was currently occupying the bathroom, had been one of Katie's and my closest friends ever since she'd moved to town at the end of last year.

I finally decided on what to wear and quickly got dressed before heading downstairs. Walking into the kitchen I saw Katie was standing at the counter with what I would presume was her second and a half cup of coffee. The house seemed oddly quiet for once and she seemed to be enjoying it.

"Morning Katie." I greeted still sounding tired as I sat in one of the stools next to the counter before resting my head on the cool counter top.

"Morning Brooke!" My curly haired friend chirped proving coffee could make almost anyone a morning person. Katie had been living with me for almost nine months now so I was more than use to her chipper post-coffee self.

"How can you always be so happy in the mornings?" an easily recognized voice asked crossly. I didn't even need to lift my head to know who it was.

"Oh good, you're up." Katie noted, not even noticing the slight insult that had just been thrown at her.

"One word; coffee." I answered, picking my head off the counter just long enough to speak before resting it back down as I tried to get a few more moments of sleep before heading to school.

"Wow, for a minute there Brooke, I could have sworn you were that lazy bastard Stark." The voice mocked as the owner sat down in the chair next to me. Looking up I glared at the Blue haired 'Spada from where I was sitting.

"Dumb ass." Unlike Katie, I am not a morning person.

"Bitch."

"You know it."

Now to anyone who knew who, or what, Grimmjow is couldn't imagine talking back to him, or any of the other 'Spada/Arrancars that Katie, Fran, and I do on a regular bases. But you see, we've been dealing with them and other powerful forces ever since the end of spring break, which was just about six months ago, and you start getting kind of comfortable around them. It's just the way it works.

"Morning People!" Lilinette sang as she walking into the kitchen, another crazy 'morning person' that we have to deal with, but the scary part is that she's like this on her own, no coffee needed.

"Why are you always so loud?" A rather tired Stark complained as he walked in right behind his hyper other half(?).

"AH! MY VIRGIN EYES!" I yelled, closing said eyes while flailing around in my seat as Katie and Stark kissed.

"Aww." Lilinette cooed, giggling as Grimmjow got wacked in the head with my arm. I heard Katie sigh at my idiocy. Freezing in place, I opened one eye to make sure it was safe before going back to what I had been doing, i.e. resting my head on the counter as if nothing had happened.

"What?" I asked Katie, knowing exactly what look she was giving me, "Unlike some people in this house, I don't plan my day around watching you two try and eat each other's faces off."

"Who does plan their day around that Brooke?" Lilinette asked sounding quiet perplexed by my statement.

"Gin and Nnoitra." I responded, lifting my head off the counter to see Katie giving me an 'I really sort of hate you' look.

"Go finish getting ready." My pyro friend commanded before pointing towards the stairs. "Now! And tell Fran that if she wants a ride to school she better hurry up too!"

"Yes mom." I deadpanned before going upstairs to finish getting ready, after of course, reminding Fran about Katie's 'deadline.' Ever since we'd gotten back from an unwanted vacation to the Soul Society after Fran had gotten 'kidnapped,' Aizen decided it would be better for us to stay home while he, Tousen, and Gin stayed put in Hueco Mundo.

However, Aizen has learned by now not to trust us alone so he had a couple of his 'Spada stay with us and watch us, then he sent a couple more 'Spada to watch them. This meant that not only did we really didn't have anyone high ranking really taking charge (Gin stops by occasionally but he's as bad as the rest of us) but finally the three of us (Fran, Katie, and I) can all sleep upstairs without having to cram into one room! It takes us almost six months, but we finally get our own rooms, how sad are we? You know what? I don't care how sad we are because we have our own rooms and that is all that matters.

I finish getting ready before racing Fran downstairs for shotgun only to find Lilinette has already stolen it from us.

"No fair! You've probably have been sitting there for ten minutes now!" Fran argued only getting a giggle from Lilinette.

"No, it's only been like three." My blonde friend laughed, only aggravating Fran more.

"Don't even both arguing with her Fran, she will bring you down to her level, and beat you with experience." I consoled as Katie walked out.

"Get in the car you two or I'm leaving without you!~" Katie sang happily as she climbed into the driver's seat. Sighing, Fran and I got in either side of the car, smushing Ulquiorra between us. "Good morning sunshine!" Katie called back finally seeing Emocar for the first time all morning. Said emotionless emo had started riding with us every morning since the beginning of the school year yet Katie seemed surprised to see him every morning.

"The sun ain't shining, now drive." I called from the back seat causing Katie to laugh at how much of a non-morning person I am. Fran leaned against Emocar's shoulder as we drove down the driveway and started towards school (getting in almost seven different car accidents).

Making it to school (thankfully in one piece) we made it to our lockers before dashing to our bench before one of the freshmen hoes had a chance to steal it from us. Said bench was almost directly in front of our lockers and had been almost exclusively for Juniors ever since the beginning of time and we were not going to let some little Freshies take it from us. Sitting on the bench, I had one ear bud in and was jamming out while I listened, and laughed at, my friends as we waited for the bell to ring. It did after almost ten whole minutes of pure stupidity and we were off to class, but seeing as I have Drama, the stupidity kinda continued.

I laughed as a few of my friends ran out of the room yelling something about 'Narnia' as the pushed through the quickly growing mob of kids trying to get to their lockers. Teach was making us stay in his classroom because he said we got distracted to easily in the Auditorium. My locker, being only four lockers down from the one I had last year, was really close to our temporary 'home' so I really didn't have to do any fighting.

"What were you doing in drama today Brooke?" Katie laughed as some more Drama kids ran by.

"We're reading for parts, why?" I asked sounding totally clueless as to why she would ask such a question just causing her to roll her eyes at me and laugh. "By the way, how did you get here from Chem so fast? It's on the other side of the school."

"I have my ways." My best friend replied smirking sneakily making me question so many things but I knew that I really didn't want to know what 'her ways' involved.

"Why am I suddenly terrified?" I asked Katie only getting her to laugh before she dragged me to Econ. Although I really don't like the topic of learning I do like the class because almost all of my friends are in it with me, and this includes my Arrancar friends, no wonder none of us learn anything in this class.

Today we were in the computer lab playing our stock market game where we were supposed to buy and trade stocks so we could get a feel of how everything works in the stock market. However, it takes about ten minutes to finish what you need to do for the hour and seeing as we got to pick our own groups, and where we sit, the rest of the hour is usually pretty hectic. Today was no exception.

"What the hell?" Grimmjow yelled just a little too loudly getting him multiple shushes and a 'look' from our teacher. The reason for the yell was because Lilinette had reached up, grabbed some of his hair, and yanked his head down.

"What? We just want to braid your hair." Fran explained from her spot between Lilinette and Ulquiorra.

"There is no way in hell you're braiding my hair." Grimmjow growled at them, causing me to laugh.

"But why not? I think you'll look good with your hair braided." Lilinette whined while trying not to laugh, which just sounded weird by the way.

"Can't look any worse than you do now." Katie added from beside me, smirking at his obvious dismay.

"Why did I agree to work with you idiots?" The blue puma demanded from himself, looking up as if asking for divine intervention.

"Because no one else would take a silly little kitty like you, duh." I explained causing Grimmjow to sigh before slamming his head down on the table, making everything on our row jump 'bout six inches in the air getting us another 'look' from our teacher. We laughed at Grimmjow's misery for a little while longer before the bell finally rang, meaning we had to go to our next class, so Grimmjow get's away, for now…

Making it back to the locker I quickly gathered up my stuff for Honors Chem before walking towards the classroom that is basically on the other side of the universe. It's also the class that Szayel got a 'job' as an assistant. Yeah, Aizen thought we needed more supervision while in school so he thought it would be a good idea to let Szayel work with semi-dangerous chemicals all day while being surrounded by 'potential test subjects' as he calls them.

"Morning Pinky!" I sang happily as I walked into the room. For some strange reason I always seem to be the first person to get to this class so it's not like I was worried about making a big, dramatic entrance.

However, this time it was different. Walking into the doorway, I stopped when I saw a head of white hair. The person turned around at my loud entrance and I realized that I was right. There was only one person that I'd ever met who had white hair and wasn't old.

Toshiro Hitsugaya.

There were soul reapers in my school.

END CHAPTER!

A.N.: Dramatic ending huh? Well, I'm trying to write fast so I can get this posted so…..
