Ball Field Romance | Benny Rodriguez X Reader

Chapter 6

The next day was way hotter than the gang was used to. But, with Benny being the baseball fanatic he is, they were gonna stop being sissies and play ball. Even if it did feel like it was two hundred degrees outside. Benny had sent Yeah- Yeah, Squints and Y/N to get another ball from Vincent's since Ham hit a homer into Mr. Mertle's back yard.

"Come on! Give it to me!" Yeah- Yeah orders.

"No! I wanna carry it!" Squints says.

They had been arguing about who was gonna carry it since they bought it. She just grabbed the ball from Squints and before he could see anything, something or rather someone caught his eye. Wendy Peffercorn. The guys say that she's the prettiest girl in the valley. She didn't argue though. They were right, in her opinion. She was very pretty and really nice. Not to mention she was the lifeguard at the community pool. Y/N and Wendy have been friends since elementary school. But, once they started middle school, they just grew apart and went their separate ways. It didn't bother them though. They still kept in touch.

"Whoa." Squints says. Astonished at Wendy's existence. He was practically drooling over her!

God Squints. Keep it in your pants. Y/N thought.

"Geez louise." Squints mumbles.

"Hey! What's the matter?" Yeah- Yeah asked, waving his hand in front of Squints' eyes.

"Wendy Peffercorn. Mmm." Squints said, pointing towards her. Yeah- Yeah ended up staring for a few seconds before he snapped out of it and helped Y/N drag him to the Sandlot. Squints complaining the whole way there.

-*-*-

After about fifteen minutes of dragging Squints to the Sandlot, thy finally made it there. But, they were greeted by an agitated Benny.

"Where you guys been? We been waitin' forever already!" Benny exclaims.

"Oh! Squints was pervin a dish!" Y/N teases giving Benny the ball.

"Shut up! No I wasn't!" Squints defends. Y/N was gonna say something but Yeah- Yeah beat her to it.

"Yeah, yeah you were! Your tongue was hangin' outta your head, and you was swoonin'! Oh Wendy Peffercorn, my darling lover girl!" He exclaims.

"I said shut up! I got a lot of things on my mind." Squints says.

"Yeah. Like Wendy Peffercorn." Y/N says. The guys just chuckled.

"This pop isn't workin' Benny. I'm baking like a toasted cheeser, it's so hot here!" Ham complains.

"It's a hundred fifty degrees outside. You can't play baseball. You gotta call it for the day." Squints says.

"You gotta listen to him, Benny man." Bertram says.
The guys agreed. Y/N didn't really care what they did, as long as she didn't have to go home until night time.

"Vote then! Anyone who want to be, a can't-hack-it, panty waist, who wears their momma's bra, raise your hand!" Benny says. Everyone, except Y/N raised her hand. When they saw this, they looked at her confused.

"What? I already wear a bra, and I don't really care what we do. Either way, it's majority rules." She states.

"Fine, fine, fine! Be like that. So what we gonna do?" Benny asks, finally giving in. The guy just laugh.
"SCAM POOL HONEYS!" They yell in unison.

-*-*-

Benny would've played ball all day, night, rain, shine, tidal wave, whatever. Baseball was the only thing he cared about. But, of all the things we did besides baseball, going to the pool is what he tolerated best. Even though most of them had never even seen a Playboy magazine, which they constantly lied about, we figured going to the pool was the next best thing then being there.
