That One Boy

saved by brett prince from matt

I barely had time to sit down before Molly started squealing in my ear.

“Omg that was the guy I was talking about in the car. His name is Brett Prince. He is amazing a baseball. Everyone knows who he is. He is a senior this year and has already opted to skip college ball and is headed straight to the pros after high school. Everyone knows his dream has been to play for the Red Socks since he has been little but everyone has their eyes on him.” she explained.

This made me secretly happy because I had wanted to go to Boston College ever since my freshman year and we could continue to date if that happened... Wait where did that come from. I needed to stop we weren’t together. He was way, way out of my league. I snapped out of it. I turned to Molly giving her the details of me and Brett’s conversation before finally I just told her to shut up because I wanted to watch the game.

                Dematha ended up winning 8-2. Just like Molly and Brett himself had said Brett was amazing. He was a catcher but he was also amazing at batting. He had gotten five of the seven, four of them being a home run. As the players were walking off I saw Matt walking over to me but before he got to me I was spun around and pulled into a bear hug, by none other than Brett himself. I saw Matt storming off out of the corner and it gave me more pleasure then I will ever admit. Then Brett pulled away, making a joke about how short I was even though I was 5’7”. It wasn’t my fault he was giant.

“So, I think it’s safe to say you owe me dinner, besides I just saw you friend pull out of the parking lot.” He said.

I turned and sure enough I saw Molly pulling quickly out of the parking spot and out to the main road. I was going to kill her next time I saw her.

“Yeah I suppose so. Good game by the way. Led the way to your car.” I stuttered.

I hated the effect this boy had on me, I was a stuttering shy kind of girl.

“Alright sounds good, just give me one second I gotta go talk to coach for a few minutes.” He said.

I watched him jog over to coach. Dang it was true that baseball players had bomb butts. My good mood was ruined in a second though when Matt walked to me.

“Wow already moving on. It’s not like it is going to last anyway. Brett has a player reputation. He can get any girl he ants and he knows it. He goes through girls like napkins. If I were you I would stay away. Besides you and I would be better together an…”

“What are you and my girl talking about Matt? We got to go so I would suggest you stop bothering her. See you at practice.” Brett said cutting Matt off.

You would have thought I would have been focusing on Brett stepping in and saving me from dealing with Matt or the warning Matt had given me but all I could think about was that Brett had said my girl referring to me. I walked the rest of the way to Brett’s car in a very happy mood. He opened the door to his truck and boosted me inside but really I think it was more of an excuse for him to cope a feel of my butt and I told him just that. He simply laughed and mumbled something under his breath I didn’t catch. He then hopped in on the driver’s side and reached over me to pull on my seatbelt. That was super cute.
