The Sandlot (Yeah Yeah x Reader)

The Boys

Holy shit why do I see this kid everywhere?!

Scotty quickly got up and ran over to the fence to get the ball. The boys were yelling, telling him to hurry up and what not. He tried to throw the ball back but it barely went anywhere, landing atleast four steps in front of him. Now the boys were laughing hysterically. I ran out into the open and stood beside Scotty who turned around and mumbled to himself "my life is over" and then ran away back home leaving me.

As I still stood there with my hands out annoyed that he just left me, the boys were staring at me confused. I realised I should probably give them the ball so I threw it back to them. And someone actually caught it. "Thanks!" The taller one yelled, I gave him a nod and ran off to find Scotty.
When I got home Scotty was sitting at the table with a large slab of cold meat over his eye with mom and dad in the room. "What happend?" I asked. My dad patted my back reassuringly "I was just trying teach him some ball. It hit him in the eye Y/n, that's all...atleast he caught it..." he murmered the last bit but I still heard him. I looked down at his glove to see its been busted too. "Damn," I whispered.

I woke up the next day early and sat at the stairs at the front of the house with Scotty. His eye looked bad, all black and everything, but I guess he really was eager to learn how to play. I mean, even I know!
The dark haired boy ran up to me and Scotty randomly. "Hey, do you guys wanna go play some ball? We need extra". Scotty lifted up his glove "I can't my gloves busted" and I shrugged my shoulders "I don't even have a glove, but thanks for asking" I said politely. He just smirked a bit and reached for the back pocket of his jeans "ah, no need, I have a spare" he handed Scotty the spare glove and turned to face me "I bet one of the boys have a spare, don't worry, now c'mon".

He took us to the back of the Vincent Drug Store where there were about seven boys. One of them with red hair and something in his mouth tryna say something like "I'm the m mmm". The boys looked super confused "What?!" They yelled frustrated. "He said I'm the great bambino" I answered, also getting their attention "ohhhh!".
Scotty looked at me confused, "who's that?".

"WHAT?!" Everyone said including me. "Where you born in a barn man?" A tall kid with glasses said. "Yeah-yeah what planet are you from?" The boy you see everywhere asks.

"You've never heard of the sultan of swat," a kid with brown hair and glasses said. "The titan of terror" said a darker skinned boy. "The collosus of clout" said another. "The collosus of clout!" Repeated a twin. Benny turned to Scotty "The king of crash man".
Scotty raised his eyebrows "Ohhhh, the great bambino! I thought you said the great... bambi" Although Scotty definitely did NOT know who Babe Ruthe was, I went with it just for the sake of him making friends. "You mean that wimpy deer?" The red haired kid asked. Scotty smiled awkwardly "Uhh, yeah I guess so".

"Uh, well anyway," Benny started "that's Timmy and Tommy Timmons," he said, pointing at them. They then both spat on the ground. "Mike 'Squints' Palledorus," he spat as well "Alan McClennan. We call him Yeah-Yeah," huh, so that's his name. I thought, while he spat on the ground and then hit his hand into his glove while he looked at me. I tried to avoid eye contact though. "Bertram Grover Weeks," Bertram spat, it sounded gross though. "Kenny DeNunez, and Hamilton Porter. We call him Ham. Guys, this is Scott Smalls," he paused to let him say something "hi" Scotty said, waving with his hand in his glove, Squints spat again. "And this is uh-" he stops, seeing as though he doesn't know my name, so I step forward "Y/n L/n."
They are all awkwardly silent.

"Yeah, um, well, they're gonna play with us 'cause they make a whole team and an extra." Benny says, wishing the boys would be more enthusiastic. "Oh, and do any of you have a spare glove?" He asks for me. Yeah-Yeah steps forward and gives him a glove he grabbed from his pocket. Benny hands it to me. "Thanks." I say to Yeah-Yeah. "We're wasting time. Let's go to the sandlot." Benny says restlessly.
"Benny, it's 9:00 in the morning." Someone calls out to him.
"Its 9:00" Another person says in the background while we start walking. Bertram shoves past Scotty almost making him fall over but I hold his shoulder so he doesn't. I can't help but think that some of these boys are a bit mean, guess I'm going to have to toughen up and deal with them myself then.
"Why'd you bring him, Benny?" Bertram asked in the distance. Benny seems annoyed now. "Because there's eight of us and he is another player so he makes  a whole team-" he gets cut off by Yeah-Yeah. "Yeah-yeah so would my sister but I didn't bring her! Instead we have a boyfriend and girlfriend added to our team!", He said loudly. Me and Scotty stopped in our tracks, along with Benny. I laughed "Dude," I started. Laughing more "Scotty's my half brother," I said almost wheezing.

By now everyone was looking at Yeah-Yeah who had a red face full of embarrassment. Benny actually smiled a bit "See? What are you talking about Yeah-Yeah, you think like a duck!" Yeah-Yeah tried not to smile while he thought of an excuse "Okay, okay, but I'm- I'm-" Benny interrupted him "Part of the game, right?" He said challengingly.
"Hmm, yeah!" He replied, less embarrassed while other people laughed at him

"Man, base up, you blockheads!" Benny said. Yeah-Yeah turned to me and playfully punched my arm before running off to his base. Benny turned to me and Scotty. "Smalls, you take left centre okay? Um Y/n you can take right centre next to Yeah-Yeah seeing as though we don't have enough spaces for 10 people" I started walking off towards Yeah-Yeah while Scotty asked Benny where left centre was. After sorting that out I reached next to Yeah-Yeah, he was looking over at Scotty "What a jerk" he mumbled, not wanting me to hear it, but I did. "Cut him some slack. He just doesn't know how to play." I say defensively. Yeah-Yeah smiled weakly and avoided eye contact "Sorry".

The game started and Benny called out to me "Y/n, get two " he hit the ball to me and it fell into my glove easily. I threw it to Bertram who threw it to Timmy, who threw it to Ham. "Nice!" Ham said with a grin. Yeah-Yeah patted my shoulder "Good job", I smiled a thanks and glanced over to Scotty who looked astonished. We continued the game but as Benny hit it to Scotty he fell backwards again, being unsuccessful, but he ran to go get it from the fence.

"A square Benny! The kids a square!" Squints yelled over. I was fed up with this already "Hey Squints! Shut up!" I called. There were 'oohs' coming from most of the boys after that before Scotty came back with the ball after hearing some growling noises. I turned to Yeah-Yeah "what the hell was that?" I ask him. He chewed his gum carefully and frowned "what the hell was what?" I rolled my eyes "that growl!" He shrugged his shoulders clearly avoiding something and exited the conversation, focusing on something else. Which was, in fact. Scotty. He ran up to Kenny and gave him the ball instead of throwing it! Jeez he has gotten himself into a huge deal now. But I believe in him. I know he has it in him. As Benny gives Scotty some tips and advice, all of us wait for him to finish. Once he finished his pep talk Squints yells at him "About time, Benny. My clothes are going out of style!"

"They already are Squints!" Yeah-Yeah calls back to him. I laugh at his statement without realising and I see him look in the corner of his eye at me and smirk. Benny starts the game again "Smalls, throw it to second" he repeats. "Okay!" Scotty replies holding his hand in the air indicating that he's ready. I watch him carefully, waiting, while the warm summer air hits my face. Benny hits the ball into the air while Scotty holds his hand out with his eyes closed. C'mon. I urge. And....Scotty caught it!!!
"Yes!" I whisper-yelled. I can tell how happy he was by the look on his face, he couldn't hold it back.

He threw the ball to Bertram who was so shocked "...alright! Let's play some ball!" He said. "Yeah-yeah let's play some ball."

A/n: lol this chapter was quicker to write than the last one for some reason!
