Sandbox hatred

Softball practice

Jaydens POV:
    So nick is supposed to meet me at the field after practice. It's currently 5pm and practice goes till 8pm. Well it's more like two and a half hours but we leave around 8pm. I arrive at the field and get out of my Subaru. I grab all of my shit, my glove/bat/batting gloves/helmet/gatorade/face guard/ and sunscreen Incase I need it. I burn very easily for some reason. Besides I'm already sun burnt enough from going to the lake with Nick last Friday. It hurts like a bitch. We are supposed to go to the lake again sometime soon but I don't know when i think tonight.
A/n: screw Nick I already don't like his character

     Anyways. I guess this isn't really a practice. It's more of a scrimmage. So I guess I'll be seeing one of the other teams out of the league. Damm I really hate my uniform. I'm just gonna hope it's not Carmens team we are gonna be playing. I play first base. I've been good at first base for a long time. Sometimes I pitch on the mound but I always get so scared I'll mess up. Our coach is nice but very strict at times. He can be an asshole. I have my sliding pants on and my orange jersey is tucked into them.

The numbers 07 are on the back. I'm left handed. I'm known for hitting right into center field. Most think I'm going to hit right field but I really try to keep my hits to left field. Me and the rest of the team are warming up. I see the other team. I can't really identify who they are yet. Someone is looking my way with a smile and wave. Who the hell is that? I don't know. But the ball went right past me cause I wasn't paying attention. I run over to get it and throw it back my teammates way.

Our coach sets up the machine and it pitches to us. We have three swings and move on to the next. The other team seems to be ready. We start the scrimmage. I suddenly recognize the other team. Carmens team. I thought I recognized the purple. She's the girl who smiled at me. I am suddenly nervous. I don't like that team. We have won against them plenty times in the past and this is just a scrimmage but Carmen scares me not gonna lie. She's super good at the sport and also, she calls people out on tons of mistakes. I take my position on first base. May the scrimmage begin.

A/n: I bet Carmen just scares you cause you are attracted to her. Don't fucking lie to me jayden.

     We let everyone get ready and then the ump lets us know that the batter is up. Aw shit she's really tall but kinda cute- NO what the fuck are you thinking. She has blonde hair. Not the blondes. I can't see anything else with her helmet. The other team cheers for her. She dropped her bat as she starts running to first. Shit drop third. The catcher throws the ball to me and I catch it. She goes for a slide but I tag her out. I wink at her "better luck next time" I mutter to her before she gets up and walks back to her dugout. My sad attempt of cheering her up just made her more angry. More batters go by.

A/n: all the blondes I've met are evil. Don't be offended.

We manage to stay in the inning close to the 3rd out as Carmen steps up to plate. No. I haven't let more then 2 people get on base. She's not getting on base too. It's two outs. One person is on second. We got the runner on third out a couple minutes ago. The outfielders step back. The pitcher is trying hard to strike her out. She got 4 balls. 1 strike. She walked to first looking at me. "Wow Carmen...you got on first. I'm surprised, I thought you would be a little rusty." She glared at me. "Me? Never." She smirked and put her attention back into the game.

While not looking at me she said. "Jayden you should really pay attention when people are trying to distract you." I look in the other direction and the second runner is now at third. I didn't even realize she stole until now. "Bye.." and before I knew it Carmen was on second. I rolled my eyes but the pitcher got third out so now we are up to bat.

Oh lord. Carmen is pitching. That's real nice. she probably thinks so high of herself. I mean, don't get me wrong she's like a fucking goddess
but that's not the point. She thinks everyone is in love with her. At least that's what everyone says.

I'm in the hole right now. I put on my helmet and grab my bat. I realize I forgot my batting gloves and put them on quickly. So far we are scoring like 2 runs. I'm on deck now. And sooner or later I'm up to bat. She winds up her arm and the softball releases from her hand. The softball hit my ribcage. Great. That's gonna hurt.

   "Bitch" I winced. "Hey Jayden! you should've moved out of the way." I put my hand on my side because ouch. That's all that is going through my mind right now is, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. I shut my eyes and grabbed my bat. The ump looked at me and lifted his face guard. "You okay? Need me to call dead ball?" I shook my head immediately. "Hurts but please don't I'm begging you it barley um hit me.. Im fine. And I need to at least get a hit out of this."

     The umpire knew I had some feud with her for a while. He nodded and put his face guard back down. "Well as long as it barley hit you." How did he believe that lie when he literally saw it hit me? He let everyone know to continue. Carmen kinda looked, worried? No I must be seeing things. She winded and threw the ball again. This time I hit it but it didn't go to far. My side hurt and I winced again. I don't have time for this. Just suck it up and run. I ran but as I got to first I wasn't gonna fucking slide. No way in hell.

    I got tagged out by the blondie. But before I walked away she grabbed my arm and turned me around. "Better luck next time." She smiled. Was she flirting with me? I don't know nor do I care. My boyfriend should be here soon. A couple innings later and Practice is finished I guess. The purple team won the scrimmage. I winced as I got up from the dug out bench. Okay I know it's just a ball but that hurt man. I untucked my orange jersey T-shirt from my dirty sliding pants and lifted it a little so I could see my side. "Yikes I must have gotten you good." Said a familiar voice as I look up and quickly pull my shirt back down. It's Carmen. "No big deal." I say.

A/n: CRICKETS CHIRPING INTENSELY IN THE BACKGROUND

     "Want some ice for that?" She offered me an ice pack. I gave her a very confused look but took the ice pack none the less and applied it next to my side. "Thank you." I say. "You're thanking me for hitting you?" Carmen says. "I meant for the ice pack dumbass." Will I die for that? I look up at her. She's not much taller than me. "Oh, you're welcome ." She says casually. My boyfriend Nick walks into the dugout. "By the way...next time move out of the way if your trying to avoid getting hit." Yup. Shes a bitch. She turned around and walked back to her dugout.

  I looked at her. Hot.... no I can't be thinking that as my boyfriends hand is on my hand...

A/n: Well no shit I'd think she's hot to-
