My Long-Lost Best Friend

My Lost Best Friend

November 6,2005

I was walking up the hill.The hill that me and my best friend Benji(short for Benjamin)go to all the time to talk,laugh,and stare at the sunset.We sat down next to each other.I looked at him and stared at his beautiful blue eyes.I had the biggest crush on my best friend.I loved everything about him.He was sweet,funny and always stood by me no matter what.

My name was Aubree Jennings.I was 9 in 05.Me and my Best friend Benjamin Ackerman where both 9.The weird thing about me and Ben was that we where a day a part.Actually a year apart.He was born December 31,1994 and I was born January 1,1995.Me and him just clicked.He lived right next door to me.We lived in Los Angeles CA.He was my only friend because for some reason nobody liked me but they loved Ben.Ofcourse they loved him.Who wouldn't.He was the sweetest most amazing guy ever.He also had a little humor in him.

"Are you just gonna keep staring at me like a creep?"Benji said with a smile and a chuckle snapping me out of my thoughts.I pushed him hard but not too hard.There was silence .Silence?With your best friend?Is that even normal?I looked at Benji.He looked shaky and nervous.

"Whats up?"I spoke and my voice must of scared him because he jumped a little.Silence.Again.Just as I opend my mouth he said something.Something I never thought Id hear my best friend say.

"I am moving"

I put on a serious face then I realized all the pranks he pulled on me before and then I laughed and pushed him once again."Oh be quite!"He looked at me with confused eyes."I know your trying to fool me!"I said.Laughing like a crazy maniac."You almost got me there"

"Bree..."He said with a shaky voice."Iam serious.No fooling this time"

I looked into his crystal blue eyes.He was really serious."No Ben!No!You cant leave me here alone.Those kids will see that your gone and will pick on me again!"I said tears rolling down my face.He hadn't moved nor said a word."Ben!Please!Dont"

He grabbed my shoulders and shook me"Aubrey!Aubrey!Listen!Listen to me!"He yelled at me.I was in complete shock.Benji never had ever yelled at me."You will be fine."he said in a calmer voice."Just stay strong and no matter what happens,Keep your head up and think of your best friend who will be thinking of you.After all,You are so incredible.Why would anyone want to pick on such a beautiful and smart girl.Plus,Anyone who picks on my girl,Picks on me"He smiled and I couldn't help but smile back.He pulled me into a bear hug.

That was the last time I ever saw Ben.I didn't want to say goodbye I new it was too hard for me.Benji and I talked a few times on the phone the first 4 months but then he stopped answering so I stopped calling....

****8 YEARS LATER****

"WAKE UP YOU LAZY ASS BUM!FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!WOULDNT WANT TO MISS THAT WOULD YOU!"My older brother,Jack,said hitting me in the face with one of my pillows.Jack was my twin brother.He and I where the only children so we where so close its unbelievable."It is,in fact your senior year,so buckle up!I remember my days in school and man that was a hell of a ride"He said with a tone that made him feel so proud of himself.

3 years ago Jack had to move from a lot of schools because of his behavior.My parents finally decided to homeschool him.I was always the good twin.Never ever got detention,nor even got my name written on the bored in kindergarten.

Jack looked nothing like me.He had blonde straight hair,formed as a very short quiff,green eyes,was tall,had a nice smile.

I on the other hand,Had brown wavy hair,that was just a little above my butt,blue eyes,was an average height, straight teeth,and an ok smile but people thought it was just beautiful

"Urgh!Just what I need to boost my excitedness for school."I said sarcastically with a groan.

"Get up little sis!You need school desperately because I am pretty sure excitedness isn't even a word!"He said throwing the pillow at my face one last time and leaving my room.

"In my dictionary it is!"I said getting out of my warm cozy bed to feel the cold August breeze drifting around my house.

I walked over to the bathroom to take a warm shower and brush my teeth.After I took my shower I put on some black jeans with a red plain shirt and black and white converse and put my hair in a side braid and grabbed my bag and ran downstairs for food.

"AWWW!You made me pancakes!Sweetest brother EVER!!!!"I said giving my brother the biggest hug I could possibly give.

"Yeah well you gonna have to eat it in the car because you only have 5 minutes to get to school"He said getting his car keys and opening to front door.I groaned and hopped in the front seat.Once my brother pulled up to the front of the school I stared at it in disgust.

"Get out!"My brother said

"Wow that's no way to say goodbye to your little sister on her first day"I said grabbing my bag

"Goodbye Bree Bree love you now get out"He said with a grin

"Bye loser brother"I said rushing out of the car before he could say anything else.As I walked into hell I saw my one and only friend Adam Evans.He became my friend after Ben left.Although he was funny and smart he didn't make me laugh like the way Ben did but Adam was pretty awesome.

Adam was your typical average hottie.He had brown hair(combed might I add),Green eyes,tall,smart you know everything a girl dreams of adds up to him.

Even though I was pretty unpopular,he was the definition of popular.The only reason why he's popular and Iam not is because he decided to join the football team freshman year.I am kinda glad he didn't forget about me when he joined and got all popular because Adam is truly amazing.

"Come on we are going to be late Ree"Adam said.I love how Adam was too lazy to say Aubree so he just decided to shorten it all up and say Ree.

Adam somehow managed to get the exact same schedule as me before school started because last time I checked he had zero classes with me but I could care less because Iam nothing without Adam and he knows for a fact I hated being alone.

We quickly slipped into our first period,Science,and we took a seat next to each other.20 minutes into the class a boy walked in.Not just any boy.He looked familiar.He took a glance at the class then turned to the teacher,Mr.Frank.While he was looking at the class his eyes and my eyes met.They where crystal blue.They reminded me of Bens.

"He reminds me of Ben"I whispered to Adam

"Class,"Everybodys head shot up

He chuckled"What if his name was..."

"This is Benjamin Ackerman"

I froze.
