Phillips' Sister (Benny Rodriguez)

Chapter Two

"Seriously Jordan?!" I yelled as Jordan walked his bike beside him. Charlotte and Jacky made sure to stay distanced from the two of us, quietly listening to our bickering.

"Look, it's just one game Rowan." Jordan shrugged, "I don't get why you're so upset especially because you've always wanted to play."

"I'm upset because you put me on the spot like that! Especially the way you switched up just pisses me off!"

He rolled his eyes, "Just play on my team, you get to replace Andrew Huggins. He's our worst player. If you help us win the game, you can replace him permanently."

I scoffed, "Fine, but go fuck yourself Jordan!" I turned around and marched back to my friends.

"Aren't you excited?" Charlotte whispered to me, "You get to play against Rodriguez."

"Yeah, you've been crushing on him since forever." Jacky agreed, "It's like a step closer to getting to know him!"

"Here's the key word, I'm playing against him." I explained.

Jacky brushed her hair behind her ear, "If you kick his team's ass, you may impress him. What if he wants you to play on his team?"

I gave Jacky an unamused look, "To them, I'm Phillips' sister. Not a talented player. Now change the subject, you're making me look pathetic."

We all finally arrived at my house, I stormed up to my room completely ignoring the fact I still had my friends with me.

I threw myself on my bed out of irritation. Maybe Jacky was right, this could be my chance to impress Rodriguez.

* * * *

I woke up to my two best friends barging into my room, "What are you doing?!" Exclaimed Charlotte.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" I groaned, "I'm tryna sleep."

"Well wake up! Today's your big game! Put something nice on because you're going to be playing against you know whoo." Charlotte threw my blanket off of me.

I slowly got out of bed and found something to wear. I put on my black dickies, converse, and my white cropped tank top.

If this isn't your style feel free to imagine yourself in anything you'd like. :)

I opened my bedroom door to see Charlotte and Jacky waiting for me outside, "Let's go, your brother is waiting for you downstairs." Charlotte said full of excitement.

"You guys are coming with me?" I asked shutting my bedroom door behind me.

"Of course." Jacky smiled, "We're gonna support you."

"Oh my god, I almost forgot my glove!" I ran back into my room and got my glove off of my nightstand and ran back out.

Everybody decided to walk to my brother's field. I walked beside Charlotte and Jacky as always. Once we arrived to the field, the opposing team was already there. Standing against the fence that covered our dugout. Of course my eyes immediately landed on Rodriguez, who oddly already had been looking at me.

Benny's Pov:

We've been waiting for at least ten minutes, Phillips' team had finally arrived, but for some reason my eyes landed on Phillips' sister. I don't know what it is, but she just seems so mysterious.

"Phillips' sister is kinda hot." Squints stated.

I looked over at him and I noticed that all the other guys were looking at her too.

I shook my head, "Shut up."

Rowan's Pov:

Rodriguez's team lined up in front of ours.

"Base up idiots." My brother demanded, "My team will bat first."

I cringed at how intimidating my brother tried to portray himself. I sighed, I told Charlotte & Jacky to go sit in the dugout.

The red headed kid that told my brother he plays ball like a girl, was playing the umpire. Every time someone went up to bat, he came up with these creative and hilarious insults. I couldn't help but laugh.

"If my dog was as ugly as you, I'd shave his butt and tell him to walk backwards." The red head said calmly with ease as my brother's best friend was up to bat.

I bursted out in laughter and my whole team just starred at me, my brother quickly shot me a dirty look.

It was now my brother's turn, and right after him, it was mine. "Ya' know, your sister standing in the dugout waiting for it to be her turn...I think she's naked, is she naked?" The ball went flying and Jordan missed it.

"Shut up Porter!" My brother demanded.

"Hey hey hey! Easy, I'm just trying to make friendly conversation." The red head said as he knelt back down. I was highly uncomfortable with the fact I just got sexualized. "You think she'd go out with me?"

Once it was finally my turn, the red head tried to talk me over to distract me, but little did he know, I'm great at tuning people out. He kept babbling, but I had my eye focused on the ball that the pitcher was holding. I think this kid's name was DeNunez.

DeNunez took forever to get ready and pitch the ball, "Hurry up! I have better things to do with my life than play this pathetic game!" I yelled at the pitcher.

"Ya' know, I was gonna go easy on ya'." Said the pitcher, "But you can have my heater."

"Bring it bitch!" I got set up into position waiting for him to throw the ball, he slowly wound himself up. Then...crack. I hit the ball. I didn't care how far it was going, I just needed to get to first base.

I noticed that nobody had gotten it yet, so I ran to second base as fast as I could, then to third, and I had the chance to go to home. So I went for it. The ball in mid air, I slid on my feet and my foot touched home base before the ball did.

My entire team cheering loud for me as the sandlot boys were in complete and utter shock. I'd have to say, Jacky was right. I did impress Rodriguez.
