AN: Okay, so this is the second chapter and picks up where we left off. Also I have based the house off of my 2nd year university accommodation. (Sort of) (Just without the loud housemates)

Chapter 2

The communal living room was pretty amazing. Besides a large TV screen fixed to the wall, there were 3 large sofa's, with a coffee table between them, a breakfast bar which had a window looking into the kitchen (just without glass) and a pool table.

CJ noticed the various people around the room, the 2 females that she hadn't met were playing a game of pool. There was a sports game on the TV and all 5 guys were sat watching it avidly.

"Right, pause the games people," Donna shouted, "Sooner we do this, sooner we can get on with our lives."

"Bossy much today, Donna?" One of the guys jested, earning him a smack on the head.

"Someone has to keep you in line, Josh." Donna replied, sitting on the sofa next to him.

CJ wandered over to the sofas and sat herself next to Ryan.

The games were paused and everyone migrated to the sofas.

"Okay, so most of us know each other, however, I felt it best to do a little ice-breaker so the new guys can get to know us." Carol piped up.

"Not one of those really lame ones that they made us do during orientation, you know, where you tell an interesting fact about yourself or some other bullshit." A dark haired guy with a beard spoke.

"No Toby, just a go around and introduce yourself sort of thing." Carol replied, "I'll go first and we'll go clockwise. I'm Carol."

"Ginger." The redheaded girl spoke up.

"Ainsley." The other blonde went next.

"Sam." A very young looking guy spoke.

"Toby."

"Josh."

"Donna."

"CJ." CJ said, casting her eyes over the group.

"What does that stand for?" The red headed guy next to Ryan asked.

CJ shook her head and mimed zipping her lips.

"Claudia Jean, though she might slap you if you call her that." Ryan said, earning said slap on the arm, "Ow, way to prove my point, Legs, and I'm Ryan. Hi."

"Don't call me Legs, fucknut." CJ muttered, folding her arms across her chest.

"Noted. Danny." Danny added from the end of the sofa.

"Okay, now that is over with." Carol continued, "We need to come up with house rules, so that no-one ends up trying to kill someone for stealing food, Ainsley."

Ainsley looked up with an innocent smirk, "I didn't know it was your candy bar, sorry."

Ryan burst out laughing, "Label your food sounds easy enough, or buy a mini fridge and store it in your room."

Carol nodded and wrote down on a piece of paper, "Rule 1- Label your food and if there is no label, ASK first before eating."

"Keep communal spaces clean and tidy, please." Donna spoke.

"Neat freak." Josh mumbled, earning an elbow to the ribs.

Carol wrote down the second rule on the paper, "I'll type these up afterwards, print them off and post them around the house."

"Partners cannot stay 24/7 unless the contribute to the rent." CJ added, "My roommate last year had her boyfriend over all the time and I would've liked some privacy."

"Got it." Carol said, writing it down with a smirk.

"Keep the noise to a minimum, ESPECIALLY after 9pm." Danny said, "I swear I was ready to kill the idiot in the room next to me last year."

"I agree with that rule, I like my sleep." CJ agreed.

Carol noted down the rule.

Everyone eventually had contributed at least one rule and they had managed to fill a single side of A4 paper. A weekly cleaning rota was drawn up also and they agreed to a set date, once a month, for a spring clean day.

The guys went back to watching the game after they finished.

CJ decided that she was going to head back to her room and relax. She didn't notice Danny staring at her as she walked out the room. Ryan, however did notice, and just rolled his eyes and smirked. This was going to be fun.
