Hi Hi! I'm starting this story, cause I want to XD It's about Ben and an O.C., but the aliens don't invade. I thought it would be cool to do a story about this, but with no skitters J I hope it doesn't suck eggs, but if it does, sorry. Ben might be just a little OOC, so again, sorry. Here you go!

Chapter 1.
Avery P.O.V.
Brrriiinng!
Ugh! Goddamn alarm clock!
I pushed my covers off and smashed my fist onto my alarm, silencing it. I freaking hate Mondays.
Knock Knock!
"Avery, time to wakey wakey!" My mom shouted through my door in a sing-song voice. I sighed and flung my legs over the side of my bed.
"I know mom!" I shouted back, rubbing my eyes. It's 6:00 am, and I am NOT happy about it.
"Good. Be down in 30 minutes!" She commanded, then I heard her footsteps fade. I sighed and stood up, then stretched. Walking over to my walk-in-closet, I picked a pair of black skinny jeans, a white tank top and my pink Chuck Taylor converse. Once in my bathroom, I stripped out of my dolphin pajamas, and started my shower. I used Freesia shampoo and conditioner in my dark blonde hair that went to my bust line. Both my parents and my siblings all have blonde hair. After I finished cleaning myself, I turned off the water and stepped onto the freezing tile of my bathroom floor. Rapping my "M&M'S" towel around myself, I made my way to the foggy bathroom mirror and wiped it off with a smaller hand towel. I blow-dried my hair and pulled it up into a messy bun. Then I changed into my outfit, and cracked open my bathroom window, so the fog would go away. I put my P.J'S in my hamper, then walked down stairs.
"Good morning sweetheart." My dad looked up from the news paper and smiled at me. He has short, curly blonde hair. I pulled out a chair and plopped down.
"Morning dad." I smiled back, and heard footsteps running down the stairs. My little sister came running into the kitchen, half dressed, mom chasing after her. Lily had wavy, short blonde hair to her shoulders.
"Lillian Parker! Come back here and put your pants on!" Mom yelled exasperatedly as she chased her around the table. Lily giggled and crawled under the table. Dad shook his head and laughed. Mom gave him a "Shut Up" look, and turned to me.
"Can you grab her please. She refuses to put her pants on." I laughed and nodded. Getting down on my hands and knees, I crawled under the table and after my sister.
"Hey Lil's, how's it going?" I asked her, resting my elbows on the floor and my head in my hands. She giggled some more.
"Mommy wants me to put those pants on, but I don't want to." She giggled like a crazy 8 year old, which she is. I also have a brother, Luke who's 16. I'm 14.
"But if you don't put pants on, you cant go to school, and if you cant go to school, you cant play with your friends." I told her. She looked defeated, and crawled back out and to mom. Mom mouthed "Thank you" to me, then grabbed a pouting Lily's hand and led her upstairs. Just then, my brother came into the kitchen. Luke gave me a "WTF" look.
"What are you doing under the table?" He asked. I opened my mouth to tell him, but he held up his hand.
"Never mind, I don't want to know." He sat down. Luke had short, curly blonde hair, just like dad. I sighed and crawled out from under the table, then sat back were I was originally sitting.
After eating breakfast, I ran back upstairs and brushed my teeth, then pulled my hair into a high ponytail and put on a dark pink headband, pulling back my bangs. I grabbed my backpack and flung it over my head, the strap clinging to my neck and resting against my right hip. As I walked past my closed balcony doors, I noticed Ben walking around in his room, which was right across from mine, being neighbors and all. I just stared at him for a few minute's, before he noticed me, smiled and waved. I blushed and waved back. Ben and I had been best friends ever since I hit him in the face with a basketball when we were 5. Good times, good times. He has messy, dark blonde hair. Our dad's both work as collage professors, and are very good friends. His mom Rebecca and little brother Matt both have blonde hair like him, and his dad and older brother Hal both have black hair. Hal is friends with Luke, and Matt is friends with Lily. Ben walked out onto his balcony and motioned for me to come out onto mine. I opened my doors and walked into the chilly morning air.
"Hey Avery. Whatcha' up to?" He asked, leaning on the railing. He was wearing a plain blue T-Shirt, jeans and sneakers. I grinned and dropped my backpack onto the balcony concrete.
"Talking to my best friend." I answered, sitting on my rail, then bringing my legs over the side. Ben's eyes widened and he stepped back. My arms were behind me, clutching the railing, my feet on what little concrete the railing didn't reach. There was a huge tree right in-between our house's that I used to climb over to Ben's balcony. One of the branches stretch over a part of his balcony, so it was like a little bridge, and there are extra branches to grab onto. The only problem was the closest branch on my side was 3 feet away, and had no extra branches for me to hold onto until I reached the base of the tree.
I took a deep breath, and jumped. I landed slightly sideways on the branch, and had to flap my arm's like a bird to keep my balance. When I studied myself, I flashed a grin at a nervous looking Ben, and walked across the branch like it was a tightrope, my arm's stretched to each side of me. I reached the base of the tree and used the extra branches as railing the rest of the way across. Once I was over Ben's balcony, I jumped off, landing right next to him. I smiled and he gave me a look.
"Your going to kill yourself doing that." He scolded me, looking down at me. He was 2 inch's taller than me. I shrugged.
"I wont kill myself, only seriously injure." I grinned and he just sighed.
"Whatever you say." He tried to look serious, but ended up smiling. I smiled back and poked his chest.
"So, what should we do after school?" I asked, plopping down on the concrete. Ben shrugged and sat down next to me.
"We could go to the beach?" He suggested. I nodded excitedly.
"That'll be fun! But, we should check with the guy's first." Ben nodded. We sat there for a few more minutes just talking about random topics, until I heard my brothers voice.
"Avery! Get over here! Mom will have a cow if she finds out you snuck across the tree again!" Luke yelled from my balcony. I sighed and stood up.
"Then don't tell her! I'll be over in a sec." He nodded and disappeared. Ben stood up and smirked.
"Your mom's still irked about that?" He chuckled. You see, I wasn't supposed to climb the tree anymore because I fell out of it once and one of the branches on the way down cut my arm open, and I had to get stitches.
"Yeah, but what she doesn't know wont hurt her." I smirked and started across the branches again. I made the jump across and pulled myself over the railing. I picked up my backpack and waved at Ben, then closed the doors and made my way down stairs.
Luke was waiting at the bottom for me, smirking. I playfully punched his arm.
"Have fun with your boyfriend?" He teased. I turned cherry red and glared at him, sliding the strap of my backpack back over my neck.
"He is not my boyfriend!" I hissed quietly, so only he could here it. Luke just smirked and walked away. I followed behind him to the front door, scowling at the back of his head.
"Mom! We're leaving now!" Luke shouted. Mom came into the hallway and smiled.
"Ok. Have a good day! And Avery, no talking to strangers." Mom reminded me. I rolled my eyes, but smiled.
"I know mom. I'm walking with my friends." I told her. I love my mom, but she gets so annoying sometimes. She nodded and hugged me, then went to hug Luke, who groaned.
"Mom!" He whined. Mom sighed and let go of him.
"Ok! I wont hug my son anymore." Mom sighed dramatically and pouted. I laughed along with Luke.
"Bye mom, love you." I told her, and walked out side. Luke went straight to his Ford Pickup Truck parked in the driveway. God he love's that thing. He asked if I wanted a ride to school, but I said no when I saw Ben come out his front door. Luke noticed me looking at Ben and smirked again.
"Ah, I get it. Go ahead, go walk with your boyfriend." He shooed me with his arms. I shot him the middle finger, and started towards Ben. He didn't notice me walking up, so I hatched an evil plan. I snuck up behind him, then jumped on his back. He dropped his backpack during impact.
"Merry Christmas! It's time to die!" I yelled as he stumbled forward, almost tumbling over.
"What the heck is that suppose to mean?" He exclaimed, looking over his shoulder at me. I grinned and shrugged.
"I dunno. I heard it on some T.V. show once." I lazily draped my arms over his shoulders. He sighed, and somehow picked his backpack off the ground with me clinging to him.
"I guess I'm carrying you then." He more stated than asked.
"Yep!" I popped the P and wrapped my legs around his waist. He locked his arm's under my knee's, backpack hanging from his elbow, and started the walk to our school which was 7 blocks away. We are in our Freshman year of High School! Yay… Not!
Ben had just stepped onto the next block, when Skyler, one of our crazy friends, emerged from her house and ran up to us.
"Hey guy's! I see Ben's been reduced to a horse." She smiled at us. Skyler has shoulder length, straight black hair and side bangs. I laughed, while Ben grumbled under his breath about me being to lazy to walk, which is true. Skyler was wearing a black "Backstreet Boys" shirt with an emerald green, knee length skirt and matching green heels. We started walking again, well, they started walking while I used Ben as a Taxi. Up the street, we met up with Carter, who has kind of spiky black hair and is the "Skater Boy" in our group. He was wearing a grey V-neck shirt, black jeans with holes around the knees and black converse. He came to a stop in front of us, flipping his skateboard up and catching it perfectly. He smirked at Ben and I.
"Having fun up there?" He asked me. I nodded and stuck my tongue out at him. He rolled his eyes at me and got back on his board. He circled Skyler twice, then skated away as she chased him down the sidewalk.
"Carter!" She laughed, following after him as best as she could in her heels. I smiled at them. They so like each other. Ben groaned.
"Can you get off me now?" He complained. Sighing dramatically, I slide off his back.
"Your no fun." I pouted. He shoved me playfully, which started a shoving war between us. I was about to jump on him again, but was hugged from behind. Yet another one of our friends, Gabby, was jumping up and down excitedly. She has waist length, wavy brown hair and was wearing a lilac, knee length dress with her hair pulled into a bun at the top of her head.
"Oh My God! Guess what?" She was shaking me back and forth by my shoulders.
"What?" I asked, prying her hands off me. She squealed and pulled something shiny from her backpack.
"My dad gave me my own credit card!" My eyes widened and we both started jumping around. Skyler and I already had our own credit cards, along with our other friend, Kayleee. But, now it would be even more fun.
"You know what this means right?" I asked.
"SHOPPING!" We screamed at the same time. Ben covered his ears and walked farther ahead so he was closer to Skyler and Carter. On the second to last block from the school, we ran into the last two members of our little group, Brandon and Kaylee. Brandon has dark brown hair that almost always look's wind swept and is wearing a simple red T-Shirt, black jeans and sneakers. Kaylee has very curly, short red hair and is wearing an orange tank top, blue jean shorts and orange flip-flops.
"Hello lady's." Brandon gave Gabby and I a cheeky smile. We giggled while Kaylee rolled her eyes. Out of everyone, I've known Kaylee the longest, since birth practically. Her mom is my god-mother. After we showed both Kaylee and Skyler the credit card, we walked ahead of the boys, talking about clothes and shoes.
As the school came into sight, Kaylee gave us girls a goofy grin.
"Want to see the Wizard?" She asked, holding out her arms. We laughed and lined up, hooking our arms together. From left to right it was Skyler, Gabby, Kaylee and then me. I sent an evil smirk back at the boys, and then we started skipping.
"We're off to see the Wizard! The wonderful Wizard of Oz!" We sang at the top of our lungs, the boys groaning in the background. They hated when we did this, because it gains attention.
We kept singing and skipping all the way up to the front of the school, before bursting into a laughing fit, ignoring all of the looks people were giving us. The boys walked hastily up to us, giving us glares.
"Oh lighten up !" I told them at the exact same time that Gabby, Skyler and Kaylee did.
"It's creepy how they do that." Carter said to Ben and Brandon.
"Yeah, have some fun!" Kaylee exclaimed, throwing her arms in the air.
"We do have fun, just not by skipping around singing songs about Wizards, sounding like we're high!" Brandon told us. I started giggling like crazy on purpose, the girls following my lead. Brandon's eye twitched and I patted his shoulder.
"Maybe we Are high." I said in a crappy Yoda impression, then walked into school with the girls, leaving the boys standing outside, all irritated and shit.
