Between the eight of them, there are five places of residence. Although, technically there are only three. Three apartments in the same building, two on one side of the hallway, one exactly opposite of them. Rachel was there first, fresh faced in New York with a plan to become a Broadway star. After a few dozen failed attempts, the rent in her Mother's old apartment started to seem rather high. Therefore, she had to turn to her old flame Jesse St. James for work help. She now works at his restaurant as a corny singing waitress, but as Rachel would insure you, it is just temporary.

Jesse, for this reason, came second. Now, technically he has a penthouse on the other side of town. But, that doesn't count. He is more often then not found drifting between apartment 103 and apartment 104. You can find him sleeping on Rachel's couch at nights, and cooking her and her roommate breakfast before heading off to work. He once had Broadway dreams as well, but they fell through in favor of creating his own restaurant with his impressive cooking skills. Anyway, as was mentioned, you can find him on any given day drifting from Rachel's 103 to Sam's 104. Sam came after Rachel, but before Jesse.

The old tenant from the apartment across the hall, a grouchy old man with no sense of humor, had finally croaked. Just in time, because Rachel's oldest and best friend Sam Evans was heading to New York and looking for a place to stay. Already a successful model in L.A., Sam moved to New York looking for newer opportunities. While he could easily buy a penthouse, living across from Rachel seemed like a wonderful idea…at the time. With a two year lease already signed, he had no way of getting out of the leaky faucets and flickering lights of his apartment. So, he's still stuck here for another year. He and Jesse immediately hit it off though, so if Sam isn't in his horrible apartment, you can find him at Jesse's penthouse dreaming of what his home could have looked like. Next came Blaine.

Blaine dropped literally out of nowhere. Sam found him playing guitar at a coffee shop one day and suddenly they were best friends. When Blaine mentioned the fact that he may have been a bit homeless, Sam immediately brought him home. Blaine is your typical struggling artist with a completed degree in music from N.Y.U. and student loans to pay off. He's waiting for his big break, but in the meantime he is more than willing to settle for a music teaching job or something. Something to pay the bills. With Blaine, enters Kurt.

Kurt technically doesn't live in the three apartments (of which only two have been named), but he hangs around the gang's usually haunt (The New Direction Coffee Shop) and apartment 104 enough that his penthouse doesn't count. Kurt comes from money and it shows. No one liked him at first except for his friend (and the guy with a huge crush on him), Blaine. He was abrasive and stuffy, until he and Rachel unexpectedly hit it off one day while watching Wicked. Suddenly, Jesse liked him as well, and Sam was willing to give him a try. It was worth the wait though, because although he is still as abrasive and stuffy as ever, he is now an integral part of the gang. Five out of the eight members of the gang have been named. We're missing Rachel's roommate and the last apartment. After Rachel, Sam, and Jesse, but before Kurt and Blaine came the two girls in 105.

Santana and Brittany are never seen without one another. They are the best of friends and the biggest opposites. No one can figure out how they manage to live together, but they do. The only time they spend apart is when Brittany is out with Artie and Santana is on the hunt for a bed mate. Artie and Brittany have been dating a long time, but for some reason never seem to move forward. Perhaps it's because Brittany's freestyle painting job is they exact opposite of Artie's strict lawyering profession. But Artie isn't important, because he doesn't live in one of the three apartments. Santana's job is perfect for her. A reporter is just someone who gets paid to gossip and if there is one thing Santana can do, it's gossip. The only thing that seems to be similar about these two is their love for one another, and the fact that they both immediately got along with the newest girl on the block, Rachel's roommate, Quinn Fabray.

Quinn was the last one to join the gang. She just joined the gang. After running in to her old frenemy Rachel Berry in a quaint little coffee shop, Quinn suddenly had the urge to pour her heart out. She told Rachel all about her parents' pressure to marry her long time boyfriend Finn, and then her unsure acceptance of his proposal. With Rachel's guidance however, Quinn broke off the engagement. She just didn't expect her parent's backlash. They kicked her out, cutting her off. With no place to go, she turned on the girl who caused all her problems, Rachel Berry. However, she didn't expect to get hospitality and an invitation to become her new roommate. With little other options, she moved in.

Eight people. Three apartments. Can it really be that simple?

No. Of course not.


This is going to be so fun. Tell me if you want to see any couples or friendships in particular. I might just throw them in there.
