AU prompt: April and Jackson are in college and they don't know each other. April works as a volunteer in a summer camp which takes place by a lake, Jackson is on vacation in the lake house of his family. And they meet and fall in love.

This is my first one shot, so it may not be that good. It took me a while to figure out how I wanted to go with it, and I finally came up with this! While writing it, I thought it was a good storyline for a multi-chapter fic. But I'm way to busy with other fanfics, so if I ever decide to do one like this, it wouldn't be anytime soon.

Anyway, here it is and hope you guys like it.

"This is a bad idea" April said, following the two

"Hey, you're the one that said dare" Callie said

"But I didn't think I would have to do this?" April said "I had prepared myself for jumping into the lake naked, sneaking into the boys' cabin even, but I did not prepare for this"

"Well, we could forget this and go for the jumping in the lake naked thing" Alex said, he was further ahead, with a flashlight in his hand

"Do you want your stupid ball back or not?" Callie questioned

Why were three camp counselors walking the camp grounds at night? Simple. The counselors of the Future Scientists Camp were engaged in their usual game of truth or dare. The first time counselor, April, who had enrolled in the collage close by last fall, had decided to finally take part in the game this time, instead of just watching. She decided to take it a step further and go for dare, trying to impress the others. Alex thought it was the perfect time to torture the newbie and get his football back from the Avery lake house backyard all at the same time.

"What if someone catches me?" April panicked

"Stop being such a woos" Alex commented

But April had all right to panic. From what she had heard, the Avery's weren't too happy about the camp opening just on the other side of the lake. It got worse when campers found it fun to sneak unto their property and cause havoc. After some discussion with the Camp owners, a rule was made. No camper or Camp worker was allowed unto the Avery's property. And to be sure that they know their bounds, a wooden fence was placed around the lake house.

Earlier that day, Alex, along with some counselors and campers, were having an interesting game of football. It all came to an end though, when the ball was accidentally kicked over the fence. His first try to get it back was a bust, because The Avery's grandson was in the backyard that day. The two had exchanged words over the fence and "Richie Rich", as Alex called him, decided to not give the ball back.

A few minutes later, the three arrived at the fence.

"Ok, so how to I get in?" April asked

No one answered. Instead, Alex steps forward and kneels in front of it.

"What are you doing?" April whispered

"This is how you're going to get in" he simply answered

April's eyes widened "You want me to climb over? I can't do that"

"Have any other ideas?" he asked

"You know you could give up" Callie suggested

"No, I'll do it" April answered quickly

She was known as the weird shy dud, and she was tired of it. She wanted to be known as something else, known as the bad ass who climbed the Avery fence.

She took a deep breath and climbed unto Alex's shoulders. Once on, Alex slowly stood up, allowing her to swing her legs over the fence. She tried to find a comfortable position on it, before scanning the dully lit back yard.

"Do you see anyone?" Callie asked

"Do you see the ball?" Alex added

"No, and no" she said the last 'no', giving Alex a look

She continued to scan to yard. A few seconds later, she spotted the ball.

"I see it" she whispered

"Then go get it" Alex urged

"Or you could just ask" A voice said, startling the three.

Alex quickly stepped away from the fence, causing April to lose her balance. And once she did, she tipped over the fence, landing in the lake house's back yard.

"Ah!" she screeched as she fell

"Screw this, I'm out of here" Alex said as he ran away, leaving Callie standing there, along with the flashlight at her feet

"Alex" she yelled in a whisper "Punk!" she added as he kept running

As Callie mumbled curse words under her breath, April laid flat on her stomach on the grass, staring at the Jordon sneakers that were standing right in front of her face.

"Oh crap" she whispered to herself

She slowly lifted her head to look up at the stranger standing in front of her. Because of the dull lighting, she couldn't see him well, but she could tell he was wearing some dark colored jeans and what could be a red or orange hoodie.

"You know this is trespassing right?" he asked

"Uh…"

"You know you could get arrested right?" he asked again

"Uh…." April repeated

She was panicking. He was right; she could get into a lot of trouble for being there. She quickly pushed herself off the ground and dusted herself off.

"I'm so sorry! Please don't tell anyone about this" April pleaded

"Why shouldn't I?" the stranger asked

"Cause they made me do it, I didn't want to do it. They dared me and….."

April's ramble was cut off by a voice from inside the house.

"Jackson?!" it called out

The two heads shot towards the house. April's eyes widened as a smirk appeared on the face of the person in front of her.

"Oh you're in trouble now" he said

Suddenly the backyard lit up, and for the first time, April could clearly see her surroundings. She didn't have time to admire the water fountain or the beautiful lawn furniture, because she heard the voice again.

"Jackson?!"

"Please don't tell" April pleaded again, looking at who she now assumed was Jackson

The moment he turned to look at her, the smirk on his face disappeared and everything seemed to slow down. It was her.

The day he arrived at the lake house that summer, he spotted her at the entrance. He figured she was new since he hadn't seen her the years before. It seemed like everyday after that, when he looked over the fence from his bedroom, he would see her. It was always her face that jumped out from every other person at the camp. He told himself that maybe it was the red hair. Sometimes, he found himself searching for her face in a crowd. He convinced himself that sitting at his window waiting to see her wasn't weird or "stalkerish". He certainly tried to convince himself that he wasn't developing some weird crush on the redhead.

"Hide" he blurted out

"What?" April asked, as she tried to tear her thoughts away from those gorgeous eyes of his

"Go hide!" he repeated, pointing to one of the wooden lawn chairs

April's brows furrowed a bit. He was helping her?

"You're helping me?" she asked

"Yes"

"Why?"

"Just go!" he said, practically pushing her towards the chair. April got his hint and quickly ran to it, crouching down behind it. Just as she did, the door to the backyard opened.

"Jackson?"

"Right here mom" he answered raising his hand

"What are you doing out here? I heard a scream" his mother asked

"A scream? I didn't scream. Maybe it was one of those girls at the camp. I'm just hanging here, getting some fresh air" he nervously said

"Oh, ok" she said looking at how awkwardly he was standing there.

He was defiantly up to something, but she chose to ignore it for now and headed back into the house. Once the door closed, Jackson ran over to the chair and helped April up.

"Look, I don't know why you're helping me.." she was up on her two feet "….but thank you"

"No problem" he smiled "So you're here for the football?" he said walking over to where it was

"Yeah" she answered "The campers kicked it over here and my friend tried to come get it"

"Yeah, I remember him" he said picking the ball up

"You could have given it to him you know, when he asked" April said

"I would have, but he was acting like a douche" Jackson shrugged

"He can't really help it" she said

Jackson threw the ball around in his hand as he walked towards April. He stretched his hand out to hand it to her, but pulled back before she could take it from his hands. Instead of just giving it to her and letting her leave, he thought he should at least get to know her first.

"Hey" she said when he pulled his hand away

"What's your name?" he asked

"Why do you want to know that?" April asked, she thought he might actually tell about her sneaking over

"Well I am helping you out here. The least you could do is tell me your name"

"April, my name is April" she answered

Now he had a name to the face.

"Is your birthday in April?" he asked, wondering if that was the reason for her name

"Actually, it is" she said

"Are you new to the camp?" he quickly asked before she could ask for the ball

"Yeah, I am" she answered, confirming his first theory

April stretched her hand out to take the ball, but he refused to give it back, he needed to know more.

"Are you from here?" he asked

April was getting annoyed with his questions; she needed to leave before his mother decided to show up again.

"No, I'm from Ohio. I moved her to go to college. I lived on a farm, my favorite color is green and I don't like waffles" she said with a fake smile "Anything else you need to know?"

"You don't like waffles? How could you not like waffles?"

"Can you just give me the stupid ball so I could leave?"

"Wait, I have another question"

"This better be the last one"

"It is"

"Fine, ask away" she said, flinging her arms defeated

"This isn't yours….." he began, holding the football up "…so why are you coming to get it?"

"We were playing truth or dare and they dared me to sneak over to get it" she simply answered

"Did you want to?"

"No"

"Then why did you do it?" he asked confused

"Cause they dared me and I needed the street cred or whatever. Wait why are you still asking me questions, you said that was the last one"

"Street cred?" he asked ignoring her question

April groaned.

"I'm not the most popular kid ok. I'm the weird shy dud and I didn't want to be known as that anymore ok?" she answered annoyed

"I don't think you're a weird shy dud"

"Says the person who hasn't met or seen me before"

"Well..."

"Can I please just get the ball back?"

"Wait, I have another question"

"No more questions!"

And with that, she stepped forward, trying to get the ball from his hand. He lifted his hand higher, keeping it out of her reach. She was now noticing how tall he really was. She went on her tip toes, and still couldn't reach it. Jackson smiled at her attempts, she did look kind of cute the way she bit her lip in frustration. The lip biting was distracting though, because he didn't notice when she jumped off the ground and snatched the ball from his hand.

"Ha" she said in victory

She tucked the ball under her arms and walked back to the fence. Why did it seem higher than it was before? She groaned to herself, she didn't want to ask him for help, but she couldn't climb it herself. She turned to him.

"What?" he asked

"Help!" she said pointing from the bottom of the fence to the top

"What does that mean?" he asked copying her gesture

"Can you just help me up please?"

He smiled to himself walking over to her, her frustrated look was getting cuter.

He went down on his knee at the base of the fence and held his palms up in front of him. Once her foot was secure in his hand, he lifted her up and she swung her other leg over like she did before.

Jackson stood up straight and looked up at her.

"Bye" he smiled

She looked down at him. Could it be that his eyes looked prettier from a higher altitude?

"Bye. And thanks for not telling" she said back

"No problem"

She smiled at him before turning her attention to the other side. She tried to swing her other leg over and jump down as gracefully as she could, but her attempt failed when her shoe lace got hooked somewhere and she fell over the other side.

"Seriously?" she said lying on the ground

"April?" she heard her name

She looked up and saw Callie running towards her.

"You ok?" she asked helping her up

"Yeah, I'm fine" she said standing to her feet, dusting herself off

"You actually got it" Callie said picking up the football that had fallen from her hand

"Yeah I did" she answered before noticing her right shoe wasn't on her foot "Crap, my shoe"

"Here it is" the two heard another voice

They looked to their side and saw Jackson standing there with April's other shoe in his hand

"Who's he?" Callie asked

Even though it was her second year working here, she, along with the other counselors and campers, had never seen Jackson before. He was always that voice behind the fence.

"How'd you get here?" April asked, she didn't notice him climb over

"The gate" he answered, pointing to the open gate further down the fence

"There was a gate? Why didn't you tell me?" April asked a little pissed

"Again, who is he?" Callie asked, feeling out of the loop

"You're the one that wanted to climb over" he said

"Well I wouldn't have if I knew there was a gate" she said, waving her hand around

Note to self, she moves her hands around a lot when she's frustrated, he said to himself with a smirk. She noticed his smirk and quickly walked over to him, snatching her shoe out of his hand,

"Thank you and bye, again" she said before walking back over to Callie. She quickly slipped the shoe into her foot and grabbed Callie's had "Let's go"

"Are you even going to tell me who he is?" she said, allowing herself to be pulled by the red head

"Later"

"Hey, tell your douche bag friend the next time he kicks his ball over here, come get it himself, and ask nicely" Jackson called out "…..instead of sending his pretty friend to come get it" he added with a smile

"Ooooo" Callie said noticing the compliment "Next time we lose something over there, we'll send you to go get it"

"Why?" April stopped abruptly, letting go of her friend's hand

"He obviously has a thing for you" she smirked

April rolled her eyes and continued to walk away, leaving Callie behind

"Oh, come on Kepner, he's cute" Callie teased following her

Jackson walked back into the yard and headed towards the house. There was no way he was going to end his summer without seeing her again. He opened the door and walked through, calling out to his mother.

"Hey mom, would it be cool if I volunteer at the camp?"
