benny's pov

i was up at bat as per usual. i bring the bat back behind me as i ready myself. i nod my head to kenny, letting him know that i was ready.

he brings his leg up and starts to throw the ball, but i get distracted. i look behind him and in the distance, i see y/n.

i flinch as the ball barely misses my face and hits ham's glove.

"holy shit, benny missed?!" ham yells from behind me.

i blink, getting myself out from my distraction and look around to see all the guys look at me in disbelief.

"i'm not superhuman," i shrug.

the girl who had distracted me comes closer into view. she slow claps as she makes her way in front of me, "benny, the great has missed a ball? i can't believe my eyes."

i push her head lightly, "shut up, what are you doing here anyway?"

she looks up into my eyes, making me slightly nervous. but i hold myself together.

"i came to see you actually."

i raise my eyebrows, "oh did you now?"

"yeah," she bites her lip as she sways side-to-side.

gosh she's so beautiful. i get slightly distracted as i look at her. those beautiful e/c eyes and her soft lips that i wouldn't mind kissi- i mean.

"what'd you wanna see me for?" i pull myself out of thought.

she slightly laughs and waves her hand away, "i'm kidding, i just came to chill. i had the house to myself and was bored."

i dry laugh as i frown a little, kinda disappointed that she didn't come for me exactly.

"awh, is benny sad that she's not here for him?" squints taunts.

i side-eye him before mumbling, "shut up squints."

"go home y/n" kenny says all of a sudden.

i look down at her and she's rolling her eyes at her brother and telling him off.

i grab kenny by the shoulder before patting him, "kenny, it's fine."

"but-" he tries to plead but i disrupt him, "she's not bothering no one."

he rolls his eyes before going back to the mound. everyone else starts going back to their spots then besides ham who crosses his arms with a frown.

"no girls allowed in the sandlot."

i shake my head and smile as y/n walks up to him before wrapping an arm around him.

"ham buddy," i suddenly hear him gulp as she continues, "remember when i gave you a fat black eye?"

he nods his head as his eyes widen in remembrance.

"want another one to match the memory?"

he profusely shakes his head before she pats his shoulder which makes him scurry back to his spot.
