I woke up the next morning to sunlight in my eyes. "Ugh.." I groaned, sitting up to stretch my arms. I stood up and got my things together to take a shower, I walked over to the bathroom to take a shower. Afterwords I went to my room, putting on my clothes.

I put on a black tank top, dark jean shorts, and my black P.F flyers. I also put my hair up into a pony tail, curling the ends of it. I put some mascara on and some lip gloss. I usually don't put on any make up, but today I was just feeling pretty. :)

I walk downstairs to see Scotty on the porch again, his back was facing the glass door.

"Good morning darling!" Mom said, looking up from the pan on the stove that was full of bacon. (Gimme some)

"Morning mom! Morning bill.." I say, looking at mom and then back at bill.

"Mhm.." Bill hums, never looking up from his newspaper.

I swear this dude.

Once I finish my breakfast I wash my plate. I race up the stairs to my room to grab my glove. I ran back downstairs and to Scotty who was still on the porch.

"Morning!" I say, trying to cheer him up. He still seemed sad about yesterday.

"Oh hey.." He said, still sad.

"Oh come on! Cheer up! Those guys are just jerks, it's all over now. Forget them!" I say.

"Yeah.." He says, sighing.

I just groan at him, rolling my eyes. "Dude....! You act like your depressed." I say, plopping down beside him and throwing my glove on the ground beside me.

"Whatever.." he says.

I look up from my feet, hearing footsteps on the concrete. It was Benny.

"Hey smalls, we need an extra guy at the sandlot, wanna come?" Benny asks, stopping in front of us.

"No thanks.." Scotty says, sadly.

"Oh my lord.." I mumble under my breath, looking back down at the ground.

"Why not, you like baseball don't ya?" Benny asks, looking down at Scotty.

"Well yeah......but.......my glove, it's busted." He says, showing Benny his plastic glove.

Benny just rolls his eyes at him. "It's okay, you can have my old one. Here." He says, tossing his old glove to Scotty.

"Oh." Scotty sighs.

"Now can you play?" He asks.

"Only if she can come." Scott says pointing to me.

"Oh uh, no Scott he asked you, you need the friends. I'll be okay." I say, rubbing the back of my neck nervously.

"Nah, it's fine. You were really good yesterday." Benny says. "Come on!" And with that Benny starts jogging off, me and Scott following behind.

We came up on Vincent's Drug Store, "what are we doing here?" I ask.

"Me and the guys meet up here almost every morning, they should be around back." Benny explains.

I just nod in response and continue to follow him behind Vincent's.

We came up behind Ham who had something in his mouth, I'm not sure what though. The rest of the guys were sitting on old stools and wooden crates.

"I'm deh gweat bwambwino." Ham said, his voice muffled from the thing in his mouth.

"What?!" All the guys asked.

"I'm deh gweat bwambwino!" Ham repeated, yelling a little this time.

"What?!?" Everyone said again.
