November 19,1961
I sit in my window seal watching the sunset go down. I was supposed to be at the sandlot today but decided against it. It was around 7:00 pm and then I saw people in the distance.
I knew exactly who they were and of course since they're my neighbors that's how it works.
Ham runs off to his house waving to the group of boys. Then Kenny, squints, until it was just Benny and Yeah Yeah.
Yeah yeah seemed to be sad or upset, again I knew why. He probably felt stupid for what he had done and is now facing the consequences. The sunlight shines in my eyes but I still don't look away.
I watch as they get closer and then they both glance at my house. Yeah yeah visibly sighs and Benny eyes go wide looking at my window to see me. His eyebrows furrow and he looks at yeah yeah.
He taps his shoulder and points to my window, but I immediately drop down.
Third person.
When the boys look back up y/n was gone.
"What? She's not there?" Yeah yeah says "stop joking it's not the time." He mutters dropping his head low again.
Benny's hand drops hitting his side. "She was a second ago" he says "I swear". Yeah yeah looks up at him and scowls "I've got to get home" he then skips up his steps and opens the door.
He glances at Benny and closes the door with a slam. Benny looks up at y/n's window to see her head peeking up. He shakes his head to himself and her head goes back down.
He drops his bat and glove in his yard and runs up to her door. He knocks and looks around to see is Jordan was home yet, he wasn't.
"You saw me?" Y/n asks opening the door. Benny nods "yeah uhm can I come in?" He asks and she opens the door wider.
"If your talking to me about yeah yeah forget it" y/n warns him and he sucks in air through his teeth.
"Well you weren't at the sandlot so I decided to come and see if your ok" he sates and her eyes soften.
"Fine thanks" she mutters going up the staircase him following only a step behind.
Once the reach her room she jumps on her bed and consciously grabs a stuffed animal, putting it in her lap.
Benny smiles at her cuteness. She wasn't like this around any of the others, she was way meaner.
"What should we do?" She asks moving her stack of comic books to her bedside table and scoots over.
"Are those comics?" Benny asks her and she nods "wanna see?" She asks grabbing one.
Her hand brushes Benny's and she smiles a little to herself. Benny however felt bad. He was intruding on his friends crush and now was practically hanging out with her.
"You ok?" She asks when she sees him staring off into space. "Yeah just thinking. As yeah yeahs bestfriend-" Benny pauses to think.
Y/n to interrupt but she let him think.
"I feel bad for hanging out with you while you and yeah yeah aren't on good terms" Benny says turning a little red.
"Well you hung out with him and he was my friend" y/n says and Benny nods "I guess your right.." he says sitting back.
"Isn't that what friends are for?" Y/n asks Benny and a ping shoots through Benny's heart. He had no clue why but it hurt over so slightly.
"Yeah best friends" he says smiling at her earning a blush from her. She smiles back and turns on the television. The news on the Vietnam war was on so she turned it down as she didn't want to hear. It would break her heart to hear the stories.
The door bell rings and y/n looks at Benny. She stands up and puts her index finger up signaling for him to wait.
While waiting he got up and examined her room. A picture of her and Philips was on the wall.
Just pretend your the baby and Phillips is the toddler.
Benny smiles a little at it. He had always wanted a sibling, but was an only child. The next picture was of her and wendy.
Again pretend.
Y/n had a gorgeous smile.
"Oh yeah! That's me and Wendy" y/n says walking up behind him. Benny smiles "alot of pictures" he states scanning over some more.
She shrugs "I guess" then going to look out her window to see if he left. Benny follows her "who was at the door?"
She groans "buddy. There's like something off about him. Oh and he already knows about the fight somehow" she says throwing her head back.
"I wish he would just lay off" She says and Benny thinks. Maybe if Buddy was being weird or bothering her. If yeah yeah helped her, they could get on good terms.
Benny looks at the clock "oh it's getting time for me to go uh see you!" Benny says running out of her room.
"Bye!" She yells before going to eat dinner.
Yeah yeah heard frantic knocks on his bedroom door. "What do you want!" Yeah yeah says still in a bad mood.
The door opens and Benny walks in "you remember that boy who follows y/n around and shit right?!" He asks yeah yeah and he rolls his eyes nodding.
"Well, he's bothering y/n! And maybe if you get him to stop you can call a truce!" Benny says and Yeah yeah rolls his eyes. He wanted Benny to know he didn't care for the girl that much, even though he did.
"Dude I'm over it! I don't care about her" he says laying back. Benny sighs "just a suggestion" Benny then thought, if yeah yeah didn't care about her. He shouldn't feel guilt for hanging out with her!
Benny then thought for the rest of the day.
Is it ok to be best friends with your other bestfriends crush?
Or didn't yeah yeah not like her anymore?
