Y/n POV

"So you're absolutely sure that they meant us too?"

Tessa let out an exasperated sigh and turned to me. "Yes Y/n, how many times do I have to say it?  I asked them before we left, don't worry."

*~ Flashback ~*

"Hey um, real quick" Tessa started, walking up to the boys as they sat around the dugout, drinking their sodas before they went out to play again. Benny turned towards her. "Yeah, what's up?" He asked.

"When y'all mentioned the 'campout', did you mean me and Y/n too?" She asked, raising an eyebrow at the boy. Benny chuckled a bit and looked back at the boys, before turning back to her. "Course we did, you were there weren't you?" 

"Hey I was just making sure- didn't wanna show up to your slumber party unannounced" Tessa replied.

"It's not a slumber party! It's a campout- hence the name 'campout'" Ham deadpanned, the others grumbling in agreement. Tessa laughed a little in amusement. "Whatever you say..."

She turned to walk back to where Y/n was waiting at the fence, but turned back to them. "Oh and Benny- just make sure to control your hormones will we're there? I know how you get around  Y/n so-"

Benny turned a deep red as he stared at her wide-eyed, the boys behind him laughing. "Even she knows Benny-man, may as well give up the act" Squints said, patting him on the shoulder. Benny s shrugged his hand off and rolled his eyes. "How many times do I have to say it- I don't like her like that. I have to focus on baseball if I want to make it to the big leagues"

Tessa rolled her eyes. "Thinking like that isn't gonna get you anywhere" she said, walking off towards the fence. 

Benny grumbled a bit to himself, still blushing at the previous conversation.

*~ End Flashback ~*

"Alright, whatever you say.." I mumbled, turning back to my bag that I had been packing. Tessa laughed to herself before turning back to her own. I looked at her in confusion. "What is it?" 

"You worried about spending the night with Benny?" She asked, zipping her bag up. "Oh c'mon, do I need to remind you about how you were fangirling over your oh-so-handsome MiChEaL" I shot back. Tessa laughed and shoved me a bit before slinging the bag over her shoulder. 

"Will ya hurry up? The campout's at 8, it's already 7:30" I looked up at the clock on my desk and saw that it was, in fact, almost time for us to go. I packed the last of my things before zipping up my bag and getting up off my bed. "Alright alright, let's go" I said. We both left my room and trudged down the stairs and into my living room, where my parents were both sitting watching television. 

"By sweetie, have fun at the sleepover!" My mom yelled to us as we walked to the door. "Alright, love you!" I shouted back before closing the door. As we walked towards the sandlot, Tessa turned to me. "So- did you tell them about the campout?" She asked. I shrugged. "Basically. I told them I was gonna have a sleepover with you." 

Tessa laughed. "So you lied?" I turned towards her again. "We'll not necessarily, it's basically a sleepover, and your gonna be there, so it's not technically lying" Tessa shrugged. "Fair enough" 

.....

As we arrived to the sandlot, we saw Smalls walking towards the tree house at the edge of the property and ran to catch up with him. "Smalls! Wait up!" I yelled as we finally reached where he was. "Oh, hey guys!" He waved to us. We all climbed up the ladder, reaching the platform at the top before entering the tree house. Inside all the boys sat around in their sleeping bags, talking amongst themselves.
