When Addison woke up, it was still dark out. She looked at my clock to see that it was only quarter to six. She had never been the heaviest sleeper in the world, but it seemed that her sleeping had gotten worse since she turned 15. Addison gave up on just trying to go back to sleep and went downstairs to have some breakfast. On the table, there was a note.

Addison,

Big trauma at the hospital at 4am. Won't be home until at least midnight. There's money for pizza in on the counter.

XOXO mom.

That was what she hated about having doctor parents. Her family had enough money for her mom and dad to never have to work. Yet, they just loved saving lives. They often "made up" for ditching Addison every day by buying her expensive things. They didn't notice that Addison did not care for expensive things.

"Oh well," she said out loud to herself. "Just another lonely summer day." She sighed loudly but decided to make breakfast. Addison was really lonely because really, she did not have any friends. Sure, she was plenty friendly and she was really pretty, but she was shy.

After breakfast and some lazing around the house feeling sorry for herself, Addison decided to clean the house up a bit. By this time it was 11 am. She had her IPod on, and "Bennie and the Jets" playing on full volume. Though she was lonely and bored, nothing cheered her up like cleaning up and dancing around in her underwear.

"I don't see why mom made us move here!" Meredith sighed to her twin brother, Derek. "We're going to the same high school and everything."

"She wanted a fresh start. The house is not that bad." Derek said cheerfully. His goofy smile made Meredith smile too. Meredith and Derek were 15 and were total opposites. They were both very popular in school. Derek was a football star, and Meredith was the head cheerleader.

"As usual, you are correct Derek Sheppard. Well, get out of my room. I want to unpack boxes." Meredith said, swatting her brother in the back of the head. He quickly left his sister's room when the doorbell rang. Derek opened it, only to see his best friend, Mark.

"Welcome to the neighborhood!" Mark said to Derek.

"Thanks Mark," Derek said. He knew that his mom wanted to move there for a fresh start, but the only reason Derek agreed was the fact that Mark lived next in their neighborhood.

"Well! Where's your room? Let me see!" Mark said, and Derek led him up the stairs. He opened the door that lead to Derek's gigantic bedroom.

"Ta-da." Derek said. Mark looked around for about two seconds before walking over to Derek's window.

"I love your view!" Mark laughed. "Damn. You're so lucky."

"What?" Derek asked.

"Hot red head, dancing around her room in her underwear and a tank top." Mark said enthusiastically.

"Seriously?!" Derek asked, surprised at his own excitement. He must have been hanging out with Mark too much, he thought. Sure enough, there was a hot red head dancing around her room in her underwear and a tank top.

"B-B-B BENNIE! BENNIE! BENNIE AND THE JETS!" Addison and Elton John screamed. She had already cleaned up the kitchen and the living room, so she moved on to her bedroom. Her parents had given her the biggest room in the house because they felt guilty about leaving her alone so much. Addison didn't even want such a big room. She longed for a friend, or it would even be better if she had a sibling. Alas, she had neither.

"SHE'S GOT ELECTRIC BOOTS! A MOHAIR SUIT! YOU KNOW I READ IT IN A MAGAZINEEEEE! BENNIE AND THE JETS!" Addison sang as she picked up the window cleaner. She spun around to face her window. When she looked out, she saw her neighbor's house. Apparently she hadn't remembered to shut her blinds, because she saw to guys that looked to be about her age watching her, and they seemed to be laughing. When they noticed she saw them, they waved at her. Addison turned a very, very deep shade of red and waved back. The one boy motioned for her to open the window, and she did.

"Hey sexy. If I said you had a hot body, would you hold it against me?" The boy said.

"No, but if I had a stun gun, you can be sure I'd hold it against you." She said while rolling her eyes. She went to close her window when the other boy yelled.

"WAIT! Don't listen to him. That's Mark. He's a man whore. I'm Derek, and I'm not a man whore." Derek said calling to Addison's window. Addison knew who they were, they went to her high school.

"I'm Addison. Addison Montgomery. I actually know who you guys are. I go to your high school. I love watching the football games. Go Titans!" Addison said, and Derek laughed.

"Well, what grade are you in? Maybe I have a class or two with you? I'm in ten." Derek said. "So is Mark, just in case you care, which I assume you don't."

"I'm also in ten," Addison paused. "I just realized that I'm in my underwear." She turned red again.

"I'll be over in five seconds!" Mark exclaimed.

"Shut up Mark. You're scaring her." Derek said. "Listen, all Mark and I are going to do today is unpack. Why don't you come over? After, you know, you put pants on."

"You're inviting me over?" Addison was shocked. "Uhmm, yeah! Sure! I'll bring some money for pizza." With that, she shut the window.

"Dances in her underwear! Brings Pizza! Can think of a comeback if I use a lame pick up line! Derek, I think I've fallen in love!" Mark said as they waited for Addison to come over.

"No, you've found a new make-out buddy. You don't fall in love." Derek said. He knew Mark way too well to believe that he had fallen in love.

"True enough. You think she'll go for me?"

"Have you ever met a girl that wouldn't go for you?" Derek asked, grinning at his best friend.

"No." Mark said with a laugh. A few seconds later, Meredith came into their room.

"There's a pretty red head here. She says you guys invited her over. Is that true?" Meredith asked.

"Yep. That's Addison." Mark said happily as he ran to the front door. Derek waited, and thought he'd let Mark let her in.

"One of Mark's new toys?" Meredith asked skeptically.

"No, our neighbor. Addison Montgomery." Derek said.

"Oh! She goes to our high school. She's our age." Meredith said. Meredith stopped when they heard steps coming up the stairs. Mark came in with a huge smile, while Addison followed him, looking confused.

"What did he ask you?" Meredith asked instantly.

"He asked if I knew what a BJ was, and if he could have one. Is it like, an inside joke?" Addison asked innocently. Mark and Meredith both began laughing hysterically. Derek punched Mark in the arm and he shooed Meredith out of his room.

"Ignore them," Derek said. "I try to."

"Okay." Addison said with a shrug. Mark still was having a hard time regaining composure, and this made both Addison and Derek laugh.

"So!" Addison said, in all seriousness. "When should I order pizza?"

"You barley know us, and you are offering us food?" Derek asked her. "Why?"

"Don't question it Derek! Accept the free pizza! We should order it ASAP." Mark said.

"No. I want to know." Derek said.

"Well, truth be told, I don't have any friends." Addison murmured. "I'm just excited to be invited over."

"A sexy thing like you with no friends? That's impossible!" Mark said.

"Was that an attempt at a compliment?" Addison asked.

"Yeah." Mark said quietly.

"Well, I guess I'm just too shy to really talk to people. Plus, most other girls hate me." Addison said.

"What?" Derek said. He was really surprised, since Addison was such a nice person.

"You don't have to worry about that. We're your friends now." Mark said, taking Addison's hand in his.

"Wow. Since when were you a nice guy?" Derek asked.

"Since I want pizza, and she's the one with the money." Mark joked, and for the first time in a long, long time, Addison laughed so uncontrolably that her sides hurt. If this was what having friends was like, Addison wanted to take part in it
