A/N: Hey, welcome to the third installment of Living Arrangements. The reason the story is getting updated again so early is one, I, Brooke, update faster than Katie. And two, it's my Birthday and with my strange logic, I thought I would give you people a gift… So return the favor and review… I used a dirty little ploy. ;) Now… On with the story!!!

Brooke

After the whole Mac and Cheese fiasco, we spent the rest of the day in my room… Willingly. That's is, of course, until they took the bed we had brought up for Katie when she moved in back down to the basement for the Espada because, apparently Gin, Aizen and Tousen were staying upstairs (Yes, there are four bedrooms up stairs) the Espada, and Lilinette, were staying in the basement and in the living room. We ended up getting an air mattress in return, after Katie refused to sleep on the floor and we complained… a lot. Of course after lunch, Katie had been making sure that I don't go off again. Hey, sorry but if I'm freaked out, I don't think, I act.

The next morning, Katie and I snuck out the window again, bags in hand, hopped in her car, and drove off the school. Even if we are sharing a house with a bunch of villains from and Anime, I'm not missing school. I will not have to re-take my sophomore year for credits because of a man with a god complex and his cronies moved into my house. Any ways, we need something normal in our lives going on to keep us from losing the last bit of sanity we may or may not hold.

We got to school at 7:45, with twenty-five minutes till the first bell; it was probably the first time I was truly happy to be back in school right after a holiday. Yes, spring break is a holiday. Katie and I put our duffle bags for softball practice in the locker room before heading off to our locker to put away anything we'd taken home over break. Opening our locker, I saw the Urahara plushie I got Katie last year for her birthday, or as my mom called it, the lepricon.

"Katie, imagine if one of the 'Spada saw Hat-n-clogs. We'd have a real problem on our hands then." I told her as she laughed, "Do you think that they'd buy that it's a lepricon?" I asked.

"Well, Aizen, Gin and Tousen wouldn't." She pondered my question some more as she spoke, "But I'm not sure about the Espada seeing as I don't know where they were at in the plot line."

"Well, seeing as Luppi is, or was, alive and Grimmjow has both arms, I'd say it's before Toushirou's little group went to Japan." I shrugged.

"Well, I have to go get help in Geometry." Katie told me, "I'll talk to you in 4rth hour, or before then!"

"Okay, I need my 25 minutes of jamagedge any ways. Doctors orders." I laughed as she turned around and walked away, "See ya!" I yelled to her as I pulled out my Ipod so I could listen to my music. I've learned that music actually helps me not get headaches, and any time I don't have a headache is a good time.

Sitting down next to my locker I started blaring my favorite music in an attempt to block out the world. Around 10 minutes full of music and me watching people walk by, later, Chelsie walked over to me with a big smile on. After throwing her stuff above her locker she came and sat next to me before giving me a big hug.

"Oh my goodness, Brooke, I haven't seen you in so long!!" She said happily, she hadn't gone on the trip to Purto Rico with us, so I hadn't seen her since the Friday school got out. "How was you're trip?" She asked me.

"It was really cool, we saw all these different animals but every day a howler monkey was making so much noise it was hard to sleep." I laughed.

By the time the bell rang I had probably gotten (and given) around 20 hugs. Chelsie and I walked through the crowed hallways and finally got to Mrs. Potters old room, currently Mr. Web's room. Mrs. Potter used to be the old forensics/9th grade English/speech/drama teacher, but she moved over the summer, meaning for Drama/4n6 (I don't care about the other classes) we needed a new teacher/coach. Today our new coach, Mr. Web was gone, so we got a substitute. The cool thing about 4n6s was that if we ever have a sub, we spend the whole hour goofing off and messing around, even if we have to prepare for Regionals.

After role was taken, which took almost 15 minutes; I saw my sister and went to talk to her, ditching Chelsie and Zack.

"Rachel." My sister looked up, she was working on homework, lucky for me, other wise I'd have to pry her away from a conversation with Mae. "Why'd you go to Mae's?" I asked her.

"Mom told me before her and dad left to go to Mae's until they got back so that you and Katie could have the house to yourselves." I could tell she didn't know about the 'Spada so I left it at that.

By the time Creative Writing came around I was ready to relive some stress by being able to write about my current life, which Ms. Mores would take as an 'imaginative story'. I made it into the classroom without stopping at my locker since we don't need anything for 4n6, I can take my stuff for my second hour class, it saves time. After the bell rang a new student walked into the classroom and I slammed my head against my desk when I saw that the 'new student' was no other than Lilinette. Of course she was wearing a gigi or something, seeing as her little horn helmet was gone and she was wearing normal enough clothes, not her rather reveling Arrancar uniform.

"Hey, your Brooke, right?" She asked me as she came to sit down, I nodded carefully as she smiled; I hadn't met her yesterday, seeing as I spent it in my room, "Cool."

"Um… Could you please tell my what you are doing here?" I asked her in a low whisper as Ms. Mores was taking roll and I didn't want anyone to over hear our conversation.

"Oh, Aizen put us in this school to keep an eye on you two." She told me, I felt my eye twitch, even in school we would have to put up with these guys.

"By 'us' who do you mean?" I asked her, I really hope she didn't mean all the 'Spada, cause that could be really hard to explain.

"Well, there's me, Stark, Ulquiorra, Harribel, Nnoitra, and Grimmjow." My head quickly met the desk (again) in a rather loud, and hard, thump as she called off the list. I was going to have to deal with that many? Well, it could be worse, they could have put Szayel in here to, and maybe, since most of them can't pass as sophomores, I wont have to deal with them much.

"Brooke, what are you doing?" Ms. Morres asked me, as I hadn't lifted my head up yet, obviously worrying my teacher.

"Nothing." I slowly lifted my head off my desk too find the entire room watching Lilinette, and myself.

"Ok but try not to kill yourself in class today, how would I explain it to your parents?" And class continued, of course the rest of class I would get strange looks but for the time being, everything was normal. Besides of course for the fact that I was sitting next to a character from a supposedly fictional anime.

I sat there of a minute before I realized that if they were all in Gigi's now, and that they hadn't been in them at my house, how could Katie and I see them? The rest of the hour I dedicated to that subject.

At the locker I saw Katie, who looked slightly startled. "Oh, my god. Brooke. Do you know who's here?" She asked me, talking quietly, which was weird, one, I didn't know she could, and two, the hall was so crowded that I no one could over hear if they wanted to.

"Um, 5, 1, 4, 3, 6, and Lilinette?" I asked, "All who seemed bent out to stalk us for a man with a god complex." she laughed at that one.

"You have Biology next, right?" she asked me.

"Yeah," She already knew my schedule so I didn't see why she was asking, "why?"

"You'll see when you get there." She smiled almost evilly, "Well, I have to get to Geometry." The look on her face turned to one of utter disgust.

"Have fun with that." I waved as she walked down the hall. Grabbing my stuff, I headed down the hall to find out what's up with Biology. As I entered the classroom I found that we substituted the most boring teacher on the face of the Earth, a.k.a Mr. Smith, for the most bored person on Earth, a.k.a Stark. Don't ask me how Aizen pulled that one off. I also found that Harribel was in my class too. Luckily, Stark is a pretty easy teacher, meaning most of the class; we didn't do much.

The rest of the day was full of surprises. Forth hour I had History with Katie and no Arrancars. That period was spent with Katie and I conversing over who was in what class and other such oddities that would make other people listening think we were crazy. Apparently, Katie had Biology with just Stark, shop with Grimmjow, and Geometry with Emocar.

When lunch came we found Lilinette eating with us, which was okay, Lilinette actually fit into our group quiet well. I spent most of Geometry slouched down in my desk covering my face from the extremely tall Nnoitra, who I was pretty sure was still mad about the whole 'boiling water' incident. I'm not quiet sure how Aizen got him into our school, or even into a geometry class seeing as no one was buying the 'he's been held back a couple times and had to re-take geometry' thing.

Honors English Katie and I had without an Arrancar. I spent most of the time talking to Kelsey and Zack, two really close friends, seeing as Katie was on the other side of the room. It was a fun hour, but I had a strange feeling that something was going to happen, add that to an ever-increasing headache, and life kinda sucked.

Band was a joyous, and hilarious event. Apparently, someone had convinced our band director, Mr. Youngman, that at their old 'school' Lilinette had played the cymbals, which were positioned right behind the saxophones, directly behind Katie. Before class started Lilinette made Katie jump right out of her chair by careening the cymbals together with enough force that the sound shut up a room full of around 90 talkative high schoolers.

Grimmy ended up playing a trumpet, sitting next to Chelsie's brother Nick and his friend Jason, he actually seemed pretty good at playing the trumpet, until Mr. Youngman yelled at him for doing something or other which lead to Grimmy going off on him. Happiest hour of band in my life.

By the time we got home my head was killing me and I was just happy to get home, even if said home was infested with imaginary evildoers. Softball practice was easy, but anything's hard when it feels like someone is shooting the insides of you brain. All I wanted to do was go to bed and sleep, but I knew something would go wrong.

When Katie and I walked in the door, Lilinette tackled us. "DEAR GOD!" Katie yelled. Yep I was right; something defiantly went wrong... Very. Very wrong. "Dude! Lilinette, Brookie is gonna kill you if you don't get off" Katie warned.

"I missed you guys!" she said " I had so much fun at school. I can't wait for tomorrow. You're friends are super nice how come you never wanted us to meet them? Did Starky and Nnoitra get to meet them too? What about Grimmjow and Ulquiorra? Did they get to meet them too?" on and on Lilinette went asking us random questions, my head hurt and her chatter was getting annoying.

"Dude if any of our friends met any one of those guys, we'd have world war three on our hands." I told her, "Now please get off us before I am forced to remove you."

We walked into the door and plopped down in the bar stools. Katie turned on the TV and we watched the News… well she did I watched Lilinette try and reach the chips on top of the stove, although I had to watch her from the confines of head on counter top seeing as my head didn't like being held up.

"Awww does Bookie's head hurt." I didn't have to look up to know that Grimmjow was behind me. After he had basically saved us from being killed by Nnoitra, we had somehow decided to kinda like each other, as in Katie, Grimmjow and me didn't hate each other.

"Yes as a matter of fact it does. Now shut up or I'm gonna kill you" I knew it wasn't the smartest thing to say at the time, but headaches make me not say the brightest thing all the time.

"You do realize that I could kill you right?" Grimmjow said. I looked up squinting at him.

"Yeah and yet I'm still saying that I want to kill you." Between Lilinette trying to get the chips, Katie watching the TV, and Grimmjow trying to get me annoyed; I decided to go up to my room and sleep.

"Holy shit! Where is my f'n Motrin!" I tore my room apart trying to find it. I knew Katie had some Tylenol in her bag, so I raided it like the good friend I am. After turning off the light I feel asleep.
