The Girls Team

Chapter 7~ Dont get Caught

I woke up to the sound of rocks on my window.

Wait- WHAT!?!

That was just a dream!?! DAMN I- Wait that's Benny!

I rushed to the window and opened them, I looked down to see Benny and his handsome face holding-

Pebbles.

"Damn it!" I shouted just as a rock hit the middle of my forehead

"Shit! Taylor are you okay!?!" I could faintly hear him and the creaking of my drain pipe.

"Are you okay?" He asked frantically

I started laughing, was that the universe knocking some sense into me?

"It'll take more than a little rock to hurt me Rodriguez." I said smiling

"Okay..." he said with a sigh of relief

I got up and walked to my bed, jumping on it. "So what do you wanna do?" I asked

"Well I can think of a few things..." His voice darkened and the corners of his mouth tipped into a smirk

"Like what?" I asked as innocently as I could even though the dream I just woke up from replayed in my head

"Well I was thinking I would get you back for your attitude at the field today, but I'm gonna go easy on you and we're gonna play some one on one at the field." He said as he pulled his glove from his back pocket

"Oh you boys just love to lose don't you?" I said with confidence

"Only to you Shortcake." Benny said smiling as I dressed in jeans and a sleep shirt, grabbed my bat and glove, and ran out of the house with him

"I've never snuck out before." I said out of breath as we stopped at the entrance of the sandlot

"Not really sneaking out if you didn't have to sneak." He remarked laughing

"Oh shut up, not all of us are delinquents." I elbowed him

He chuckled and jumped over the fence and I followed after him.

We landed on the other side of the fence, and the moonlight was bright enough to light up the entire field.

"Wow it's so much prettier at night..." I whispered to myself

"Yeah it is." He said looking at me in a way I couldn't quite read

I smiled softly and pushed him a little, "Come on, ya ready to lose again?"

"In your dreams, Shortie~" And he ran to go grab a baseball

"I am not short!" I chased after him, I would see the ball laying on the ground and the entrance of the dugout and I smiled

I sped up and as I passed him I said, "Race ya Jet!" And I booked it.

"Oh yeah?"

I could hear his footsteps behind me and I knew he would catch up so I slide beside the ball, grabbed it, and stood up fast.

"I win 'Jet'. " I moved him as I turned around but I couldn't see him anywhere

"Benny?" I called out looking around the corner of the dugout

And just as I turned around someone grabbed me around my waist and pulled me into a little cubby hole between the dugouts and a pile of junk behind it.

"He—!" I was cut off my a hand, that's when I smelled Bennys cologne

"I could've sworn I saw some kids jump the fence!" A deep voice shouted from what sounded like the entrance to the field, and the beam of a flashlight scanned over the field.

"Hey Shortie?" Benny whispered

"Yes?" I replied

"You like being a delinquent don't you?"

"Yes, why?" I asked skeptical, and I could feel him chuckled behind me from where I was pulled against him

"Whatever your idea is it's going to get us caught." I said looking up at him

He looked down with a mischievous grin and said, "Only if the cops catch up."

"Okay fine, what is it?" I asked at last

"Let's play tag." And he grabbed my hand and ran out of there dugout

"Benny! Hold on!"
