Love at First Pitch |The Sandlot Fanfic|

Three

The next morning Scotty, Alexis, Vanessa, and I slip quietly through the secret fence doorway, emerging in deep left field where we hug the perimeter, moving slowly toward the sandlot. Winded, we find the gang (cute guy and his followers) already playing baseball.

We watch, listening to the sound of the hardball, snapping cleanly in the leather of their gloves.

I see Scotty look down at his own glove.

He must be embarrassed having a toy glove and them having a real one because he just looked down at it ashamed, I'm guessing.

I rubbed his back reassuringly. He looked up at me and gave me a sad smile. We walk a little bit closer towards them.

We see the darkest boy wind up the ball and pitches it to the really cute guy I like. The cute guy hits the ball and makes a big crack sound.

He hit it hard. Scotty walked closer and I went behind him while my sisters stayed behind a little.

We stare at the fence and hear a growl.

We look at each other and next thing we know we hear yelling "Watch out!" The gang shouts.

We turn around and see the ball flying toward us- towards Scotty. He's frozen with fear, scared, most likely not knowing what to do.

Next thing you know, he throws his arms over his face and ducks... social suicide. I felt so bad for the kid. The ball beams him at the glove covering his noggin.

Scotty hits his butt. The ball rolls again coming to an I-dare-you stop, right up against the fence. Scotty pulls his arms away from his face.

The gang laughs uproariously. I got so peed off. They were all shouting sarcastic stuff like "nice catch!".

Now they're all shouting for him to throw the ball to them, and to hurry up. Scotty moves to the ball and I just stand there, frozen, watching him.

As he goes he shouts "Kay, I'll get it!" He reaches the fence and the ball and stops. I scrunch my eyebrows in confusion.

I look at the gang and I can tell they are getting impatient.

I walk a few steps towards him and I hear whatever that thing is inside the huge fence, breathing.

The bush moves and I walk backwards a few steps slowly, while Scott runs to get the ball and back-pedals 10 feet. "We're waiting" someone shouts from the group.

Scotty walks up next to me and throws the ball back to them. The chances of him getting with the gang is over,

because the ball lands six feet in front of him, rolling slowly towards the gang, coming to a dainty stop at the pitchers (dark skinned boy) boys feet.

The gang looks at the ball and then back to Scotty....

They all start to crack up! The cute guy was the only to not laugh and my sisters were definitely not laughing. Scotty walks away crying saying "My life is over."

I've had enough of their crap!

My sisters come out and stand next to me. "You guys seriously think that's funny? WHAT IF THAT WAS YOU?! YOU WOULDN'T BE LAUGHING THEN, WOULD YOU?" Nobody said anything at all.

All was heard was my sisters saying 'yeah'. "THATS WHAT I THOUGHT!" I shout running off to go find the poor boy.
