The next morning, I woke up on the couch before my aunt. I looked up without moving and saw on the clock it said 6:45. I groaned softly and furrowed my eyebrows as I realized my head was resting on what felt like someone's leg. I sat up and realized it was Benny, who was still here. He opened his eyes shortly after I sat up. "You didn't have to stay," I said groggily. He shrugged. "I didn't mean to stay." I laughed and shook my head. I stood up and stretched, then cleared my throat. "Want some breakfast?" I offered. "Nah, I'll get some at my house," he smiled a little as I shrugged. "More cereal for me." I grabbed a bowl as Benny walked out of the house. I set down the green ceramic bowl and jogged to the bathroom. I studied my eye and saw the swelling went down and it was only a light shade of purple. I sighed and smiled and I walked back to the kitchen, pouring the cereal. After I ate it, I changed into fresh clothes and walked down to the sandlot to watch the others play. When I got there, Benny was the only one present. "Where is everybody?" I yelled from the shady dugout. He shrugged as he ran towards me. "They were supposed to be here.." He said, slowing in front of me. I sighed and shook my head. "You just can't get a simple message through those guys' heads, can you.." I said, laughing a little. Benny smiled, then looked around. "No point in staying here, I guess," he said as he turned back to face me.
