Baseball Game

The sound of people chatting, cars parking, and food stands getting their foods ready to sell. Caught my attention "we're here" I murmur, linking my arm with JJ's. Not wanting to get lost in this chaos.

"Should we get some drinks, and maybe whatever food they sell here?" He asked while walking us through the crowd "Yea might as well" we made our way to a food stand, and waited in line as it was quite busy.

I could only get a glimpse of the pitch, as the food and drinks sold behind the bench's. I saw both teams warming up for the game, stretching, practicing their throwing, catching and batting skills.

"What can I get you two?" A guy who looked no older than 26 asked. JJ scanned the menu, and decided to get us two packs of chips and a hotdog, with a side of coke. "Is that all for you guys today?" We both said yes and paid for the food and drinks. "We need tickets."

JJ looked at me weirdly "since when did we start paying for tickets?" Laughing I slapped his arm "so. I guess we going for free?" My eyebrow was raised "Hell yeah!" Was all he said before dragging me into the rows of chairs.

We had managed to get past the security...teachers to be specific. Making our way up the rows of seat, we found two near these girls, who looked our age. Sitting down I made myself comfortable.

Me and JJ just chatted for the remaining minutes. I then saw that both teams made their positions on the pitch. The game was about to start. This boy with brown hair, brown eyes, and pale white skin, got ready to throw the ball, the cap pushing his fringe a little to the side more.

The batter had black hair, brown eyes and tanned skin. His eyes were slender as he was Asian. The brown haired boy threw the ball, with the black haired missing it. "Strike 1!" The thrower did quick glance in our direction.

He definitely wasn't glancing at us though. He threw again "Strike 2!" People started cheering more louder. The batter looked frustrated with himself, and took a deep breath.

Again the brown haired boy had looked this way, this time I followed his gaze. At the very bottom of the on going rows of seats, stood a group of girls. But what made it obvious with who he was staring at, was because the girls teased the one with a blue ribbon in her hair. She had brown hair, I think hazel eyes? And fare skin. She looked basic. But a good basic.

One where you don't need makeup to look good and flawless. I can see why he was staring at her. Just then when he threw the third time, the other boy had finally hit the ball, sending it way over the fence.

As he ran around, he pulled his hat down slight and winked at the thrower. "HOME RUN!" Everyone started cheering, so we went along with it too. I seen that brown head boy looking a bit upset, after he saw that girl leave. "MAN! That was pretty fun to watch!" JJ cheered, slinking an arm around my shoulder. Tugging me down the stairs as we walked out the exit.

"Hey Finney!" Me and JJ heard, we turned around and saw the two guys "Oh Bruce, hi" Finney said in a hushed tone "Your arms mint mate! I'll see you tomorrow with the boys!" Bruce said skipping past Finney, giving him one last wave before disappearing.

Finney just stared at the boy, who had just complimented him. Sure he saved Bruce and the three others, but they all act like they've known each other for years. That doesn't mean he doesn't wanna be friends with him, he loves hanging out with the group. It's what brought them close.

"Y/n?" "Huh?! Sorry! Just watching the scene that was in front of me" I confessed blatantly. "Well I was saying how we should be heading home now" he gave me a knowing look that I understood all too well.

Finneys pov

"Y/n?!" I heard from in front of me. I turned to see a girl and boy talking. I'm guessing the girl being y/n? That's the same girl I saw in the stadium. I noticed her after the third throw. While she was staring at Bruce and cheering for him, I had seen her, when I was staring at Donna.

Seeing her somehow made me feel something. But I had quickly shaken the feelings off.

"We should get home" the boy said, are they siblings? "FINNEY! You did GREAT!" My sister Gwen yelled. She hugged my side and then let go. "You nearly had him!" I smiled at her softly, I loved Gwen. She was always supportive and kind. Not to mention funny with her words.

Taking one last glance at the y/n, me and Gwen walked the opposite way from them.

Y/n's pov

"That Bruce kid hit the ball all the way over the fence!" JJ gushed like a fan boy. Mom laughed while cutting into her steak "And you, y/n?" JJ's dad (rob) asked "Uhh I was impressed with both. Finney had good throwing skills, that he made Bruce get two strikes. And same with what JJ said, he was great at batting!" I complimented, stuffing my mouth with some broccoli.

"Well I'm glad you two had fun, because tomorrows Monday" confused, I asked "why? What's tomorrow?" Mom facepalmed and chuckled "you have school." My smile immediately dropped.

School!? As in Having to wake up at 7:00am every morning, and needing to be at school by 8!? Not to mention, NEW KID! So, needing a locker, finding that locker, and the. Looking for class, and then going into that classroom!? Making friends?! NEW FRIENDS!? Type of SCHOOL!?

"But I don't wanna go!" JJ whined, I shook my head in agreement. Practically giving them pleading eyes. "Well we don't care. You're going" mom said, she doesn't understand. They all don't except for me and JJ! School now a days go by popular, normal, or grease type of people. You HAVE to be one of them. And before we moved here, we were at the bottom. Pogue A.K.A grease.

Even after us whining and throwing a fit for the remainder of dinner, they still wouldn't let us stay home.

"This is so unfair" I said to JJ, he huffed. Patting his back I said "I'll see you tomorrow yeah?" He grumbled but nodded his head with a sigh. "Bye" he said before leaving our house and going to his, which was across the street from mine.

Walking up the stairs and Into my room, I grabbed some pjs and headed into the bathroom. After taking a shower I threw the singlet and shorts on, jumping into bed I prayed to GOD. "Please, please, PLEASE let me go unnoticed by everyone tomorrow!" Turning to my side, I went into a sleep slumber.

Only God knows what's gonna happen tomorrow, I just hope nothing goes bad.
