A.N: Hello and welcome to the tenth installment of Living Arrangements! Yes sir, we have finally hit double digits, aren't you proud? Yes, this is the reason for the double update. In this chapter we are adding in our last OC that will actually matter, I don't count those that we put in just to kill. This was character was unplanned, but needed for later events that are too come in a LOOONG time. So have fun, and keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times, thank you.
Brooke's Zen of the Day: You can not make a person love you. You can only stalk them, and hope they panic and give in.
Brooke
I was half asleep as I walked into school, see kiddies, this is what you get when you can't sleep worth shit and have to function off about six hours of sleep every day. Not enough sleep to function correctly, by not too little as to where you get sent to a doctor to get it fixed. Right in the middle of the road. I hate the middle of the road.
I glared up at the awful florescent lights as the buzzed above my head, florescent lights make everything look worse, and trust me, our school looked horrible all on it's own, the lights are un-needed. I lugged my duffle bag into the gym locker room, we had an away game today at Morley Stanwood meaning we got out at 2:15, and that Katie grumbled the entire trip to school because she was no longer on the team.
Emptying out my bag's contents into Katie and my very decorated locker I threw said bag over said locker before crashing on the ground hoping to get some shut-eye. Apparently the universe hates me for not only did that annoying buzz keep me from sleeping, but Katie decides to go on a rampage about something or other.
"Brooke, Bro~oke." I hear Katie calling my name as I glared at a wall.
"Dude, I think she's dead." Grimmjow said before waving a hand in front of my face, after I didn't react he tried to poke me. In return I tried to bite him, "Jeez, what's her problem?" Grimmjow asked my caffeinated friend.
"Sleep deprivation." Katie told him wisely, "It sucks."
"No Katie, sleep deprivation is oh so fun. Just a jolly good time, you should try it sometime." I said before stretching, "Give me 'bout an hour and I'll be hyper." It's true; I get hyper when I don't sleep. It's a phenomenon, just like the meaning of life, or how Ugg Boots got cool, no one knows, but many ponder the questions.
"I think you need coffee." Lilinette stated sounding like she was an expert on this situation. I grimaced at the idea; let the record show that I hate coffee.
"No, but a monster might work." I thought for a moment, "Anyways, coffee stunts your growth, that's why Katie's so short." Next to me I got a very angry glare, which caused me to smirk.
"I always wondered why she's so short." Grimmy agreed before a harsh glare made him laugh. He got a punch in the arm and a flame on top of his head to shut him up, which made me laugh, were so sadistic.
"I could set you two on fire." She warned sounding pretty evil. Adding some length to the little flame in her hand. Katie had finally learned to bring out fire at will; she didn't have to use the funky hand signal that she had been using for the past month.
"Yeah, but friends don't set friends on fire Katie." I explained like a scolding teacher. There is a 99.99% chance that Katie was going to say something mean in return but her rant on shortness was cut off. (seriously, she's like Ed from FullMetal Alchemist, it's funny)
Said thing that had cut Katie off, was around 5'5 with brown hair, brown eyes and glasses and moved in a ball of pure hyper-ness. I think she was related to Katie. "Hi, I'm new here. My names Francesca, but you can call me Fran, it's nice to meet you, what are your names?" The very hyper girl asked.
"Hi! I'm Katie, that's Brooke on the ground, and that's Lilinette and Grimmjow." Katie introduced to us, cause we lack the ability to talk for ourselves. And if you're wondering, Mr. Moocher-Living-In-My-House-With-A-God-Complex, a.k.a Aizen, did his weird Shinigami Kido-Powers-Thing and made it so anyone meeting his 'Spada and Lilinette would forget anything they knew 'bout Bleach.
"Really? You mean, like from Bleach?" Okay, apparently Aizen sucks eggs because if he didn't, Fran wouldn't have been able to ask that question, "You know you look like the characters too." She stared at Lilinette and Grimmjow closely for a minute while Katie, Lilinette and I exchanged worried glances. Grimmjow just looked freaked out that a girl was so close to him, he should be used to that, he's around himself an awful lot.
"Fine." I smiled evilly as Katie and Lilinette cheered before grasping an extremely confused Fran by the elbows and dragging her down the hall into the girl's bathroom. I sighed before getting up to following. "Ya coming Grimmy?" I asked the blue 'Spada.
"Um, that's the girls bathroom Brooke, and if you haven't noticed I'm not a freaking girl." He told me very rudely.
"Trust me Grimmy, you wont have a problem going in the girls bathroom." I patted him on the back before walking to the bathroom where my two friends we undoubtedly questioning Fran as we speak, "If you have that big of a problem, we can re-locate to Stark's room?" that would be the smartest thing to do, but hey, when was the last time we did the smartest thing?
Grimmjow growled slightly, irritated at our silly antics before stalking down the halls to Stark's room, while I ventured off to get Katie, Lilinette and Fran, who I could see joining our group very soon. Walking into the bathroom, I could hear Katie and Lilinette's voices bouncing off the walls like they were inmates in an insane asylum.
"What's up guys?" I asked as I walked in, "Grimmy wants us to move to Stark's room cause Kitty says he's too manly for the girls bathroom."
"Starks here too?" Fran asked excitedly, "Awesome! Who else is here?"
"You'll see." Katie told her evilly, I could tell they would be friends; they're like carbon copies. Jeeze, that's exactly what the world needs, another Katie.
By the time we got to Stark's room, the bell rang and we had to go to our classes. Katie found out that Fran was in her first hour class and high-fived her. I grumbled as Stark sent Lilinette and me away.
It wasn't even half way through 4n6s when I was requested to go to the office. We were in that weird time between State and exams where we didn't have anything to do, so it wasn't like I was missing much, but according to the note, my dad was here to see me. I could almost here the cough, cough, wink, wink that was around 'dad'. I have no idea where he went and as of now, the caring is in minimal supplies.
I walked the short distance between the auditorium to the office, I could feel myself getting more and more hyper by the minute, meaning my 'dad' was going to have to deal with me on a sugar rush, yay for him. Looking though the glass wall on the outside of the office I saw Katie, Fran and Lilinette sitting in the few chairs in the cramped waiting area and a man with brown hair talking to Mrs. Hose, one of the secretaries.
"Hey there Daddy-Yo." I greeted happily, trying not to laugh at the exasperated look on Aizen's face, my smiled felt so big, I bet 'cha it could rival gin's! Now that's saying something. Katie, Fran and Lilinette were trying to stifle their laughter in the corner as I just kept smiling.
"Oh, hello there Brooke." Mrs. Hose greeted, obviously Aizen was using his Zanpakuto to make her think he was me daddy, the only similarity is the brown hair, and mine is much cooler than Aizen's thank you very much. "Your father is taking your family out of school today," She told me. There were many things wrong with that statement, one, none of us are related, two, my only family in this school consist of my sister and my uncle. That's it. And three, if your not family, you can't take someone out of school, Aizen might not suck eggs as much as I had thought. "Have fun!"
"Okay, lay go!" I announced triumphantly as I led our little 'family' out of the office. Once we got to the parking lot, we found Ulquiorra and Grimmjow waiting for us.
"Ulquiorra!!" Fran yelled before glomping said emo, she had enough force to nock any normal person to the ground, but Ulquiorra is to emo for that.
"Release me trash." Emocar demanded forcing the poor girl to let go of him.
"Aw Emocar, you found yourself a girlfriend! How cute!" Katie and I cooed as Fran smiled happily.
"Come on Fran! You're ridding with us!" Katie announced as we got into the car, leaving Aizen very confused. Once we had all piled into the car (those who were ridding with us anyways) Katie rolled down the window, "See you guys at the house!" and then we rode off, Katie and Lilinette in the front, Emocar, Fran and myself in the back with Fran in the middle.
We rode in absolute chaos until Emocar cut all of our chatter off, "Stop that women." I then saw Fran move her hand looking slightly sheepishly, but quiet proud of herself too.
"I have a feeling you'll fit in just fine!" Katie announced as Lilinette and I laughed. After that the car got quiet louder until we reached the house, where it got quite a bit quieter. None of us knew what was going to happen. Getting out of the car, we went inside where we found Aizen waiting for us with Grimmy-Kitty.
"Everyone, downstairs, now." He commanded as we all filed down to the basement like good children. Once we were down there, we met in the TV room, Aizen took the comfy chair that made it seem like he was on a throne, while we took the couch/floor. I suddenly felt déjà vu, remembering when this first started.
"Now, it seems as though someone can see through my illusions." He stated, no one said a word as he stared us down, "So tell me, how was this fact brought to your attention?" he looked at Katie, taking the sign she started to speak.
"Well, we were waiting for school to start, Brooke and Grimmy were making me made and I was about to hurt them when Fran walked up to us," she took this time to point at Fran, "saying she was knew, so we introduced ourselves and Fran stated that Lilinette and Grimmy looked like characters from Bleach. Then Lilinette and I dragged her off to the bathroom for questioning, but Grimmy complained because he can't go in there, so we relocated to Stark's room but the bell rang. SO Brooke, Lilinette, and Grimmy had to leave, but Fran has science with me, so we stayed, then Stark called you, and before the end of the hour we went down to the office and you told us we were to go home. In the parking lot Fran glomped Emocar, who got made, then Fran, Lilinette, Brooke and Emocar rode with me home while you and Grimmjow did your speedy thing. In the car Fran grabbed at Emocar's-" Aizen shut Katie up with a mere wave of his hand as Katie started panting seeing as she said that all in one breath. What? She has lungs of steel.
"I see. You three are excused while I talk with my Arrancars." And with that, the only three humans in the room got up, and we went upstairs to enjoy our school free day.
END CHAPTER!!!!
