No rooming plans for you, young lady!

While everyone split into groups awaiting the arrival of the Lockett’s. Zack, Chloe and Paris were chatting about anything and everything but after a while Chloe asked the Bishop cousins who they’d be okay rooming with.

‘’I would be fine rooming with anyone, but Brandon really, chances of a drunk Brandon murdering me in my sleep or just from seeing my face are way too high.’’ Zack said feigning a worried face.

‘’Shouldn’t just be afraid of Brandon, Zack, I’m sure everyone but Vicky and Ashley would smother you with a pillow if you’d end up snoring.’’ Paris quipped.‘’But to answer your rooming question Chloe I’m fine with anyone but Brandon too really.’’ She continued with a smile.

‘’Bet you wish you could room with Peter.’’ Zack croaked silently just enough for Chloe to hear. Chloe immediately burst out laughing. Which prompted to give Zack a accusing glance before asking him what he'd said in her most innocent voice.

‘’That you’re a perfect cousin and I’d never bring up your Peter crush back when you were twelve and still get embaressed about’’

Before the cousins had a chance to get into a classic cousin showdown at the expense of each other’s dignity the door bell run. As the Lockett’s got into the Den, Zack walked up to one of his childhood friends, Jared Lockett.

Jared is a tall stocky teenager having his mom’s Hispanic skin colour. Has black hair which he keeps in a buzzcut. Jared was dressed in a plain white t-shirt and a pair of black shorts.

Jared is the star linebacker on his high school team, back home in Mountain Falls. He is also the resident playboy over there, but unlike your common players, Jared treats the girls with respect and tells them upfront that there is no relationship possibility’s besides friends with benefits as he just wants to enjoy his senior year.

Jared is a very competitive person who is very loyal to his friends willing to go very far for his friends. Very experienced and really takes after his mother being the towns local sex fiend. He isn’t the student who will get top marks in his classes but he makes up for it with his work ethic.

‘’No time, no see Zack! My ever lucky man.’’ Jared said as he gave Zack a fist bump.

‘’Why am I lucky? Surely Jules isn’t here?’’ Zack asked with a hopeful tone.

Julliana ‘’Jules’’ Lockett is Jared’s sixteen-year-old sister who has harboured a major crush on Zack ever since she was a little girl. It’s not that Zack dislikes her but for his own sanity of mind small doses of Jules were preferred when around friends and especially people like Brandon who could just be assholes for whatever reason, especially if that includes Zack.

As Jared told Zack that Julliana wouldn’t be here due to her summer job, he heard the booming voice of Jared’s dad, Jefferson Lockett the forty-one year old father, a real big man who has the lumberjack look down to a tee, short light brown hair with a thick beard. Whilst looking like a tough and mean lumberjack, Jefferson is a very kind, soft hearted man whose personality couldn’t be further away then what he looks like.

Before Zack had a chance to greet the big man, Jeff already delivered Zack the bear hug he always gave him whenever they met the Bishop's. ‘’What you been up to heh? You’re catching up to me in height soon!’’ He said with a hearty chuckle.

‘’Well he won’t see the day where he catches up to you Jeff, if you don’t cut off your suffocating hugs soon he'll actually die sometime.’’ Jared’s mother Gabriela Lockett said as she walked up to the two.

Gabriela ‘’Gabby’’ Lockett is the forty year old mother of Jared and Jules. Gabby is Monica’s big cheer sister who has mentored Monica ever since Monica’s freshman year. She has been a notorious flirt and tease with a very high sex drive since she has been a teen. She has a semi-open marriage with her husband.

Gabby stands at an average length with long, wavy black hair with a pair of dark brown eyes. Has the trademark Latina bust with a pair of large breasts with a curvy toned ass. Gabriela was dressed in a pair of black jeans with a plain white blouse.

After a bit of catching up among everyone, Heather made sure to remind everyone of a now, important task for everyone: the current rooming situation.

‘’Well we already established where the Bishop’s, Woodsen’s, Lockett's and my dad are sleeping, so now we just have to find a room for the rest of us. I propose we give Mrs. Toone and Mrs. McRose a room?’’ Heather suggested.

‘’Heather I forgot to mention but we’re one room short due to the windows not giving any isolation, so that won’t be a good idea, unless you want to shack up all the boys together in one room with only two single beds?’’ Robert noted.

‘’Well since Greg, Robert and me schemed in the arival of Tinny and Nate and thus ended up creating this situation, we could put Greg and Robert together in the study room and then I could room with both Charlotte and Tinny?’’ Monica proposed.

Before Greg or Robert had a chance to object everyone already agreed to Monica’s plan.

‘’Awh… don’t worry Greg, I’ll make sure to make up with you for rooming with Robert.’’ Monica whispered to her husband with a seductive tone.

‘’I’ll room up with Pete when they arrive tomorrow if that’s ok?’’ Nate said as soon as the teens started discussing who they’d like to room with.

‘’I’d suggest we put Pete and Nate here on the current floor down the hallway then.’’ Heather stated as everyone quickly agreed on Nate and Peter rooming up.

‘’Well we can all assume Hannah and Tay will room up too right?’’ Zack questioned just to confirm for everyone. ‘’Yeah, we’ll just put them down the hall on the second floor. I have the feeling they’d like that one since it has it’s own shower and I have the feeling they wouldn’t take a room without one either.’’ Heather responded with a smirk as she knew her chearleader mentor all too well.

Madison and Chloe had quietly decided to room up somewhere in between conversations as they got along pretty well since recent years. Heather had taken Victoria despite advocating to have either Zack or Jared, but Victoria pleaded to room up with Heather since she’d rather room up with someone she actually knew and didn’t have to be afraid to see her in her sleeping outfit. She didn’t want to room up with Paris nor any of the boys.

‘’Me and Brandon will take a room.’’ Ashley stated excitedly as she grasped her boyfriends hand.

‘’Wait a minute! Where do you expect me to room then!?’’ Paris asked with clear worry.

Brandon got a wide grin at the prospect of getting to room up with both his girlfriend and Zack’s hot cousin, Paris, especially if he could get Ash to agree to do something with Paris so he could rub it in Zack’s face. To Brandon’s delight his girlfriend proposed exactly what he'd hoped.

‘’C’mon Par, your welcome to room up with me and Bran!’’ Paris looked at Zack clearly pleading for help. Zack gave her a look showing he didn’t like the idea of Paris rooming with Brandon very much either.

‘’What did I hear about you rooming with Brandon, Ash? There will be no way young lady.’’ Damon stated as he started to listen to the conversation. When Paris heard this she sighed in relief.

‘’But dad! why not!?’’ Ashley asked.

As Ashley and her dad continued bickering about the rooming situation, Paris realised if she wanted to room with someone she actually would be fine rooming with she’d have to state that now. So she looked at Zack with pleading eyes trying to converse to just go along with whatever she was going to say. Zack catched her eyes and started to get a faint idea of what she had planned.

‘’Uh.. since it seems like you two will take forever to get to an agreement I’ll room up with Zack since I basically sleep at his house every other day if that’s okay with you guys ofcourse.’’ Paris asked the room.

‘’That’s fine with me.’’ Zack replied understanding Paris’ her plan to secure a roomie she was actually okay with.

Jared had actively been following both Zack and Paris and the fight between Ashley and her dad. Jared decided to help Zack out as he knew Zack would become seriously suicidal if Brandon somehow ended up with him and Paris in the room as he knew the Bishop cousins had a strong dislike for the quarterback.

‘’Why don’t I room with Brandon in the extra bedroom, I’m sure we’ll get along just fine, no?’’ Jared stated. Brandon idly agreed to this having zoned out daydreaming about a threesome with Paris and Ashley right after Ashley proposed them three sharing a room.

‘’Where am I sleeping then dad, if I’m not allowed to sleep in the same room with Brandon and every room already occupied.’’ Ashley asked her dad with a raised eyebrow. She knew there was no way to win from her dad in this very situation, so she just looked at the two pairs with a double bed where she could actually sleep in a bed, that being Heather and Vicky and the Bishop cousins.

‘’Maybe I could sleep with you Heath-.’’ Ashley began but before she could finish Heather already replied. ‘’Nope, I’m already giving up valuable sleeping space in sleeping in the same bed with Vicky, I refuse to take a third!’’

She looked at both Paris and Zack with pleading eyes realising she would otherwise have to sleep on a uncomfortable airbed, or worse on the couch. ‘’Your welcome to room with us, Ash, I’ll make sure to keep Zack on a little corner right under my thumb like I always do whenever I sleep over.’’ Paris replied with a smile.

Brandon fully expected Mr. Woodsen to object to this and demand for Zack to sleep on an airbed or on the couch but seemingly, no objections came from the older man.

This was because Damon first of all never liked nor trusted Brandon and and he trusted Zack far more then he would trust Brandon with his daughter, besides this wasn’t the first time Ashley had ever shared a bed with Zack since she had plenty of sleepovers in their younger years plus, Paris would be in the exact same room so he doubted anything would ever happen, not that he'd be against his daughter dating the youngest Bishop whom he much preferred to any other boy. He knew that ideally, Sarah would want Ashley to end up with Zack and for Hannah to end up with Peter as Sarah loved the prospect of having seen them all grow up and having raised Peter and their daughters, while also having seen Zack grow up alongside them.

As everyone accepted this current rooming situation, Brandon began to wonder, how he went from imagining fooling around with his girlfriend and Paris constantly this stay, to somehow being roomies with Jared and worst of all, Zack somehow ended up with both Paris and Ashley. Zack seemed way too buddy buddy with Ashley for Brandon’s liking.

Brandon just had one thought: What, the actual fuck.
